I totally disagree. According to the OP, there was no mention of a Saturday upcharge until the contractor failed to show up for the original appointment, which was between noon and 4 pm on Saturday. It was only then that the $129 upcharge was discussed. Shouldn't the contractor waive any upcharge after missing the original appointment? It wasn't the OP's fault that the contractor failed to show up. At that time, 8 hours after making the original appointment, it was too late for the OP to hire another contractor.
