There are several steps you can take to resolve the dispute.  The first and most practical action may be to withhold payment, or to stop paying the contractor’s “draw.”  There should be specific terms in the contract between you and the other party that specify the remedies available if a dispute should arise or if there are concerns about the quality of materials or poor workmanship.  The key to a contractor dispute in San Diego is leverage.  They must understand that you mean business, and that you are prepared to take them to Court and hold them accountable not only for the work they have or have not performed, but for any associated damages as well.
