Back in 2015 my mom had a retaining wall in front of her house replaced and it is beginning to crack. I checked the contract and it states there is a 5 year "workmanship warranty". My mom has been calling the contractor for about 6 months to a year telling him she sees cracks forming but he tells her to look into other issues like street vibration issues that has previously affected the past walls stability.
He won't even come look at it
I am fed up with how he is handling this and looking into the contract to see what he actually "owes" us and if he is supposed to fix it, I will step in and if he does not, I will look into legal actions.
I am trying to find out my options...Read More

The contractor remodeled my house in Pasadena, CA. No contract, only verbal. The contractor has no contractor license. The contractor files a mechanic lien on my house illegally because we both have no contract. 3 month passed, the contractor did not file a lawsuit for the lien. I request lien remove/release but the contractor did not want to release the lien to me.
.
QUESTIONS:
1) How to expunge the lien after 90 days?
2) Should I report the contractor to the contractor board since he has no contractor license?
3) Which website to write bad reviews to prevent the contractor from scamming more people.
4) The contractor wrote a note and signed on my notebook "all paid in full" on my last payment to him. One week later, he files the mechanic lien. The contractor files the lien illegally since we have no contract, no basis to file the lien. May I sue him for illegal filing the mechanic lien?
