I'm assuming he is licensed insured and bonded. I would first try to get him to do right by you, and let him know that you won't accept anything less than professional results. If he fails to complete the job to your satisfaction, then go after his bond, report him to the contractors board, and sue him. Take pictures now....no I mean get up right now and go take pictures. Keep a journal of what has been said, promised, and what has actually happened. Dates and times are important....document everything as thoroughly as possible. A letter form an attorney is generally pretty reasonable (about 75 to 100 bucks here) and can go a long way to insure your satisfaction. Give him the opportunity to fix the mistakes and make it right....if he fails to do so, then get nasty. It does really suck that your kitchen has to be torn apart again, and the risk for damaging the cabinets and the floor in the process is there, but they have to fix this, and any collateral damages also.
