Who canceled the job? If it was you, you'll have headaches but still, the paint is yours as you say. Go to your local state attorney's page, download the complaint form, fill and mail it in and don't worry, the guy's gonna lose more than $800. I have a problem with nice people like you who think complaining on angie's List will hurt bad companies. Take out your knives, use the local attorney's general and if damage is bad hire a lawyer as well! Stop thinking bad people care about reputation. the only thing they care is whatever the authorities are saying and they won't say anything unless you complain first. Go for it. PS that's why you pay taxes...to have the tax collectors finally do something good and that is to go after crooks on your, and mice, and everyone else's behalf. Give him hell and coming from a woman will hurt twice hahahahaha.
