Is My Kitchen Contractor Taking Me for a Ride?

Hey everyone, I need some advice. I hired a kitchen contractor to do a bunch of stuff in my kitchen – new countertop, backsplash, paint, sink, tile flooring, and refinish the cabinet doors and drawer faces. He did some of the work but when I checked the backsplash, I noticed some issues and asked him about it. He got really defensive and rude. I tried to stay calm and give him another chance, but he kept getting worse. After a long, frustrating conversation, I left him to work. The next day, he didn’t show up and sent me an updated invoice saying I owed him for the cabinet doors he still had. He had painted them, removed the handles without asking, and wanted me to pay for them and install them myself. He also said he wouldn’t fix the tile work issues. Basically, he quit halfway through and left me hanging without my cabinet doors. Now he wants $3200 to give them back. I asked him to come back and finish the job as per our original agreement, but he refused. I think he let his emotions get the best of him and walked off. I’m left with an unfinished backsplash and no cabinet doors. What should I do now? Thanks for any advice!
