Yes, you would hire another person to work, and use his bill for the time as proof of the labor amount spent. But yes you may sue him for the value.

Or or course since you son and this person had the agreement, your son may also have standing to sue him, since you could since it was a partnership, your son has some liability to you for his partners labor.

Look into the possibility of filing a mechanic's lien against the house. Depending on how much time it has been since you did the work, that might be a possibility.
