I had something similar once.    I compensated her with a 20k shopping spree instead of actual cash since she thought it was a scam.    The actual items somehow made sense ot her.

Purse, red bottom shoes and I think a tennis bracelet were the highlights.    My wife said it made her sick to have to go with her "shopping".

@Sam Liu   I hope the school of hard knocks doesn't teach you a lesson.    Fairly confident changing the locks was a bit too aggressive of a move.

@David Mirza

Jumped the gun a bit.    Signed contract then hit the gas pedal.    Odds are you fixing these problems allowed for the other offer.

@Aref Shehadeh  This has been talked about so many times.     You are going to get the contractors on here with their point of view their time is gold.     The investors that are experienced say they are a dime a dozen.   The newbies and newcomers thinking everything in between.  

Each flip has a different amount of work and what you will more than likely find is your contractor won't physical do most of the work if he can outsource it with you paying half the bill.    It takes time for them to get lazy though.

It's capitalism, pay them no more than it would cost for you to replace their contribution while still maintaining enough profit for yourself to justify the deal.

@Deano Vulcano   Disregard my post,   I thought when you said I that you meant yourself.

@Deano Vulcano   In case you aren't sure later on.    It was 

at Jan 26, 01:51 PM that you came up with the horrible idea to play outside your comfortable little pond and join the ocean.      

Selling 150k houses is typically a much easier task than appealing to the 1M+ buyer pool.

Prefer someone younger with a thick skin.     Willing to partner on deals if desired, not required.       There is no cost to you.     

I'm part of 50-100 Flips per year within the state.    Could lead to an actual paying job if the role suits you.    Otherwise you are welcome to rape my ear with questions whenever you desire and I'll help put you on a profitable path.
