It depends on how much time you give them in your contract. Read the contract. It should have a completion date in it somewhere. If not, then they might just take their sweet old time.

Can a contractor place a lien on your property if the work failed to repair the problem and the contractor inflated the bill?
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.
