What recourse does a homeowner have against a contractor?

The court could order your contractor to finish or correct the work or compensate you for your losses. Otherwise, you could file a claim against your contractor's insurance. However, a contractor's general liability insurance likely won't cover faulty work claims unless someone is injured from the unfulfilled contract.
