No, generally you can’t file more than one lien for an amount that is owed. I’d need to learn more about the situation to say more.

Have you signed a contract? If not, put it in it. If the work is already started, he should be willing to do so since once he is paid in full, he has no lien rights
against you, although a failure by him to pay his subcontractors and suppliers may put them in a position to lien you.

They can extend the contract and may delay the deadline for filing the affidavit of lien but not the dates that notice of lien rights must be filed. There are
different deadlines for notice letters depending on whether it is commercial, residential, whether you are the general contractor or a first, second or third tier
subcontractor and whether the lien relates to specially fabricated materials.
