I ended up having a roofing contractor from Mass do the job, same price and it was done in one day.
I don't like to generalize but NH contractors are notorious for putting things off. I've heard many of stories about sketchy contractors at the local watering holes. If it's hunting season you can't get them to do anything.
Probably not worth it to sue him, they just declare bankruptcy and reappear in 6 months. Sorry for your problems.
