You can’t extend it….and if it is a private improvement you can’t re-file as you can only file a lien within 8 months of your last work on the project.     If the
project was public works, you may be able to re-file, since liens can be filed within 30 days of project completion and acceptance.

No…a mechanic’s lien can only be filed for actual labor and materials furnished on the project.     Your recourse is to commence a lawsuit against them for
breaching the purchase contract for your business

You can….but it is best to wait until the year is almost up….b/c the 1 year extension will kick in on the date you file the extension, even if there is a month or
two left upon the original filing.
