Did you pay the contractor? If not, he had the right to lien your property. If you want to sue the contractor, you need to be able to prove that he did not finish the job. For example, if he put an addition on your house and did not roof it, you need to show in the contract where it states the work included roofing the addition.

Finishing the basement in your new home should definitely increase the value ( and possibly equity) in your home. A good starting point for finding a reasonable and reliable contractor would be angieslist.com.
Watch out for this situation: A contractor offers to do some work on your home, saying he can also arrange the financing through a lender. Once you agree, the contractor begins work. The lender then appears with papers to sign. He may rush you into signing a document before you have time to read it, or the contractor may threaten to stop working until the papers are signed. You sign, only later realizing you've just agreed to a home equity loan with high rates, points and fees. Additionally, the contractor now has no interest in finishing the job, since he has already gotten paid by the lender.
The contractor will get a bid from the sub contractor and add his percentage, then present the change order to the customer. This depends on the change. Some changes are items which are pre-set arrangements between the contractor and sub that can be priced without a bid from the sub. Flooring for example.
