1Opinion of the Court
OPINION BY Justice LAWRENCE L. KOONTZ.
This appeal arises from a dispute between the owner of an industrial building and a roofing contractor involving a breach by the contractor of a construction contract between *469 those parties for the installation of a new roof on the building. We consider whether the amount of the damages awarded by the circuit court was excessive as a matter of law. We also consider whether the circuit court erred in failing to offset the amount of the damages awarded to the owner by the amount the owner still owed the contractor under the contract.
