If you still have time, you can create significant leverage by recording a mechanic's lien. The basic deadline to record a mechanic's lien is 90 days after
completion of the work of improvement or cessation of the project for 60 continuous days. The deadline is shorter if the owner records a notice of

If you missed the deadline to file your foreclosure action, the lien has expired and is no effect. If there is still time to record a new lien based on the date for
completion of the work of improvement or service of a notice of completion, then you can record a new lien and start the time limit again. Nevertheless, you
should still have contract claims against the party that engaged you to perform the work, and you can file a lawsuit for breach of contract whetheSee More...
