Hi, We are a plumbing, hvac, electric service company. What option do I pick for the role we play in the project. I started with general contractor, but then was paused because we would be required to send a pre-construction notice. We don't do construction and are service, so are called out for same day repairs - no time to send a pre construction notice. What do you recommend picking as our role?...Read More

Equipment was order to be set on site and large amount of paint was purchases to start painting. One week into project – the HOA board calls an emergency meeting without their HOA property management representative. During this meeting the board as us to stop all work – do not come onto their property anymore and had their property management company send us a stop work and cease and desist cause they fires us from the job. We turned around and sent expensive equipment that we had rented back to owner due to us renting equipment on a daily basis. We stopped our paint account and asked them to bill us for amount of paint already used. Please keep in mind that this project was projected for 5 months length of time to completion.

We are located in Georgia. My husband, a contractor, did extensive work for a homeowner after hurricanes Mathew and Irma. There was a reverse mortgage on the home. He was paid directly thru the company. Work was completed and he was asked to sign a waiver stating upon payment in full, a lien would not be filed. He signed the waiver, never received final payment. The homeowner passed away about a month ago. Attorney is handling her estate. Should our next move be to hire an attorney? We are questioning the process because of the reverse mortgage company. Thank you in advance for your advice. Deborah & Roger Nicklas 912-786-0355 binderd@bellsouth.net...Read More
