Sofia Vergara is being sued by her former contractor after she allegedly failed to pay for work on her $26 million Beverly Hills mansion.
According to a lawsuit obtained by TMZ, Reside Custom Homes claims the actress owes them $1,700,492.64 after hiring her for a job in April 2022.
The company says they were hired to perform construction work on Vergara’s lavish home in the Beverly Park neighborhood but were never compensated, even though she agreed to pay for the project and an additional contractor fee.
According to the lawsuit, work was largely completed in December 2022, but Vergara then requested more substantial improvements outside of their original agreement, pushing the project back to March 2023. By this point, Sofia had moved back into the villa.
The 51-year-old “Modern Family” actress requested that mud plaster be installed in three of her powder rooms, an office, the dining room walls, the cabana bathroom and the living room of the guest house.

She had also wanted to have a staircase removed and replaced.
The contractor claims that it initially covered the cost of the additional work and that Vergara promised it would continue to pay the cost of the improvements.
Additionally, RCH claims they were informed by the actress that she had approved a bill for nearly $900,000 and had “already” instructed her asset manager to pay it.
However, RCH claims they never actually paid the bill and now owe them over a million dollars.
