Sure and the contractor will file if you refuse to pay as long as your local statutory requirements are met and if the contractor thinks it did a good job and didn't breach the contract - but then it sounds as though you have at least two defenses: breach of contract for bad work (assuming the contract called for a level of work that this fell below) and excess billing (assuming the contract was for a specific amount and/or did not allow for additional charges due to unforeseen circumstances and you may have been at least told additional work was required). A lot will depend on the words in the contract.

If a sibling fails to contribute their share of the property taxes on an inherited property can they lose their interest in the property?

No. The only way they could lose their interest is by a court order. You would need to sue them for not paying their share. If the property was sold you could deduct from their share of the proceeds the amount they failed to pay for expenses. If it's a serious problem you should consult with an attorney who can review your situation and explain your options. You may consider buying them out.
