I had to sue a contractor who stiffed me on a summer job during university. I didn't have a written contract either. Small claims process is pretty easy.
Contact the homeowners and any other workers at the site and tell them that you will be starting small claims proceedings and intend to call them as witnesses. They will be served with documents and be required to appear.
It is a hassle for them to go through this process so ask them to call the contractor to put some pressure on to pay you before you have to proceed.
If you do have to go to court prepare well and you should win.
