Under Federal law, you have 60 days from the credit card statement date on which the charge first appears to dispute the charge. I would do this even if I had to pay a small fee for using a credit card. Note that you can always reinstate the credit card charge if the contractor can prove that the materials are running late. If the contractor will not accept a credit card, I would find another contractor. Also, I would take any Google reviews with a grain of salt. Good luck.
