What makes for a small claims case?

I am an electrical contractor. I did a job for a customer at his rent house upgrading the electrical service. The bill came to $1300, plus tax. and the bill at the supply house came to $900 which the customer also agreed to pay. When it was all said and done the customer wrote a check for $700 and said that is all he is going to pay because somebody else said they would have done the job for that amount.
