Pick up your equipment at least they aren't keeping that too (which I have seen happen) You didn't mention whether you were a subcontractor or working
directly for a property owner. Take contractor owner to Small Claims Court for any work done/ materials supplied. The above response is provided as a

I concur with Jim and also mention that if you are asked to submit a Waiver of Lien before receiving money, make sure it is the form of "conditional waiver of
lien" with your balance due inserted. Dont give a full unconditional waiver of lien unless money is in your hand! The above response is provided as a courtesy
and does not establish an attorney-client relationship. If you would like to contact me directly for a consultation, I am located in Port Huron (810) See More...

You didn't indicate the sizes of these claims. A lot of work goes into filing a Claim of Lien. You have to get the exact legal description of the property, verify the
property owner, fill out the lien form properly, can be tricky, and as James indicated must be recorded within 90 days at the Register of Deeds for that county.
then serve a copy on the owner by certified mail. The lien itself does not enforce payment, that would require a lien foreclosure suit in the Circuit See More...

Technically the property owner is supposed to do the Notice of Commencement but thet rarely are even aware of it so the general contractor should do it
when necessary. It would be too hard try and explain it all in a response her so here are links to the Michigan Construction Lien Act. If it is a commercial job

No you do not need a Residential Builder's License just to do drywall work in Michigan BUT you cannot also do any insulation work without a license. they
often go together so be careful. The above response is provided as a courtesy and does not establish an attorney-client relationship. If you would like to
