provides a specific remedy (i.e., the failure to provide the notices may constitute a breach of the Consumer Protection Act). It does not state or imply that a
contractor will lose their lien rights if they fail to comply. Moving forward you should definitely start providing the disclosures for every residential project.

complied with or your lien will be invalid. An experienced construction attorney will help make sure you don't miss anything.

contract for up to five years after the contract is/was breached. Removing the lien will not eliminate your obligation to pay for the work. The lien will be
invalid if the contractor doesn't file a lawsuit to foreclose it within 6 months of the date it is filed but it will still remain of record and could cause issSee More...
