customer refuses to pay for project I did for them

Customer refuses to pay second payment for already installed granite countertops. When installed she did not complain, she issued check which I deposited on Saturday and then she texted me on Tuesday that she stopped payment. She had some issues with granite she personally selected for her project and we went to fix it but then she said she does not like anything and decided not to pay me for my work, she said she will find someone else to fix it and pay them with money that she should pay me.. what can I do about it?

You can sue the customer for breach of contract. Your damages (monetary compensation you are seeking in your lawsuit) are the amount you are owed. You can enforce a monetary judgment with a wage garnishment. You can also enforce a monetary judgment with a lien on the property.
