Rookie in need of advice, anchor bolts.

they have screwed over.
Take more pictures, write everything down while it's still fresh in your mind. Ask the licensing board what your options are. You may or may not need to lawyer up depending on how things go.
On the other hand if this guy isn't licensed your options are rather more limited.

Oh, one more thing you might do. Get a reputable contractor to come out and examine the work and write a short letter about the deficiencies of the work. This will come in handy if you end up needing to seize this guys bond. Also whatever else you do, do not let this jerk come back and try to fix what he fxxxd up in the first place.

All that said, you as a home owner have a responsibility to do your due diligence on anybody you hire to do work for you. I don't mean this unkindly, but this was an entirely avoidable situation. Always check references, always see if there are complaints against their license (if they're are licensed). This takes time and effort (which is why people skip doing it) but it largely avoids the kind of the kind of crap you now have to wade through to get your project moving again. Best of luck resolving the situation and do keep us posted as to what happens.

You need to call your state contractor's licensing board first thing Tuesday morning. Send em pictures. Often the threat of action against a contractor's license will motivate them. In Cal. contractors have a performance bond that can be seized by the state licensing board to help reimburse a customer thatthey have screwed over.Take more pictures, write everything down while it's still fresh in your mind.

Hey all-

I’m building a garage, nothing fancy. I had planned on having my cement contractor put anchor bolts in (to bolt sole plate to), but he told me today ‘most people are getting away from anchor bolts and now using tapcons (cement screws).

Is this true or is he just trying to do less work? To me anchor bolts sound easier and better…
