Contractor Ghosted You?
You paid the deposit. The contractor cashed it. Then the texts stopped getting answers and the start date came and went.
Most homeowners freeze here. They have the contract in a drawer, the receipts in an email thread, and a phone full of unanswered messages, but no organized case. Demand letter mills and filing services will happily charge hundreds of dollars to assemble exactly that paperwork for you.
Contractor Ghosted You? runs the whole paper trail:
- Breach timeline builder. Every event in date order, from contract signing through the last unanswered text, with a headline count of silent days. Judges and licensing boards read dated sequences faster than paragraphs.
- Damages math. Total paid minus the honest value of work completed, plus documented extra costs, equals your claimed total. Computed from your facts, not estimated by a chatbot.
- Demand letter generator. A formal letter with firm professional language: the facts, the amount, a 14 day deadline, and what happens next. Ready to review and send by certified mail.
- Small claims packet. An itemized damages ledger, an exhibit index (contract, payments, contact log, photos, demand letter, receipts), and a filing checklist in the order a court expects.
What makes this different:
It does the work, not just the advice. A real script computes the silence count and the damages total and writes three files. Most guides tell you what to do; this does the paperwork.
It handles the messy cases. Partial work completed, disputed extras with no signed change order, multiple installment payments: the ledger rules keep the demand credible instead of inflated.
It carries you to court readiness. The packet does not stop at the letter. The exhibit index and filing checklist are ready the day the demand deadline passes.
It stays honest about the law. Deposit limits and small claims limits vary by state, so the skill flags what you must verify instead of hardcoding answers. Planning and drafting help only, never legal advice, and no promises about outcomes.
What you get: A paper trail builder (Python script, no installs needed), a dated breach timeline, a damages ledger with the unrefunded deposit formula, a certified mail ready demand letter template, a small claims packet with exhibit index and filing checklist, and a state limit verification reminder.
