The driveway is 4" thick the botched pie shape is his handywork. MRM I've not purchased anything
I'm taking suggestions, weighing options to sue this asshole. Revenge will be sweet even if I get nothing
in court. He has already lost a job the idiot gave me as a reference. He will lose much more through
social media beatdowns and jobsite reviews.

Elberton codes forget about it... I have a permit and called the county inspector. He refused to even come on site....

Trench drain or totally replace the drive.
My concern would be water intrusion on that front left corner if he placed wood right on top of the slab.

I would get an opinion from a licensed architect or home inspector and send a polite demand letter before making any changes.
You might be required to give the contractor notice and an opportunity to cure under georgia law. Read

If I recall thars something in the building code about grading to drain away from structures.
And a building code violation that is certified by a licensed architect or home inspector is prolly the best basis for a claim for the cost of a fix.
But I would send a written demand for repairs first, before with a copy of the architects report, in compliance with the statute.
If the grades and other constraints would allow it my unlicensed engineering fix would be to remove and replace the slab, with a swale to redirect the water. But you should get a licensed architect opinion on that

I installed my two 9 ft wide garage doors and there is zero gap at the top where you show a gap. Your door rails are not properly installed. Gap shown in your pic cannot exist if installer can read door installation instructions. Door should be jam up against door framing and vinyl sealing strip just adds to sealing and fro looks. Remember there is no time limit on poor and/or incorrect workmanship - don't think you even need a contract. Get an expert opinion from and independent building inspector from greater Atlanta area and add his cost to your damages in suit.
