It might be to late for this suggestion. Obviously you've got a poor contractor and it's sounding like you are gonna be sorry about it. And keeping in mind that they have likely completed projects before, just not all as presumed and they are slow. But the more you irritate them the more they'll avoid you.
The last time i had a problem with a contractor was an elevator company. They took over a year to install my modified elevator whereas it should have been completed in two months. it was a five story apartment building and I could not rent out the 4th and 5th floors for all this time too, So, it was costing me dearly. They didn't care, took their sweet time and i was into them for some big cash which would be unrecoverable. Worse was, if i got rid of them I'd have to nearly pay double for another company to take over the liability. So, i milked them along, patiently, wasn't easy.. Then when they weren't looking (virtually) I found this young aggressive red hot attorney, gave him 50 bucks to threaten em with a letter.. Got their attention!!
Thing is, i never let on how MAD I was until my attorney, lets say; 'encouraged' em.
