I worked for a subcontractor on a project. I was brought on board with the understanding that I would be paid a percentage of the profits. I agreed and asked them to put this in writing. After 8 weeks, nothing came. I gave them an ultimatum, stating I would quit if I did not have anything in writing. They offered me an hourly wage far beneath the standard rate. How can I work for 8 weeks, and then they decide to make me an employee, without having paid taxes and such? I'm owed just shy of $40,000 for mileage, use of my equipment, and wages. Can I file a mechanics lien against the project?...Read More

I am a homeowner of a Rolwes Home in Troy MO. We built our home in 2020. The day we moved in (after closing on the home) a diagonal crack in our foundation from top of wall to the floor that had leaked was pointed out to me by the builder. By the end of the first week we had a couple more cracks that were leaking. Speed up to today and we now have at least 40 plus cracks in our foundation and at least 10 to 12 that have been repaired for leaking. We have a 10 year warranty on our foundation. We have gone round and round with the builder. They have sent an engineer out 3 times. First time engineer said build up around the foundation. So they added dirt. Second time the same engineer said slope the yard more. So the remove all the dirt they put in plus some. The third time the same engineer is now blaming it on one piece of tubing that we have attached to our gutter that is perforated. This was not installed until after the second time he came out. The tubing runs out away from our home and is connected to a pop up. He also is blaming our rock in our landscaping. We did not alter the grade of the landscaping in anyway, but somehow now that is the cause. The rock was not put in until this summer and all the cracks were there before. I have lived in and been in homes much older than mine with no foundation cracks. Or maybe one to two. Nothing like what we have. How am I supposed to sell this house with the walls looking this way? We are not the only people on our street having issues with this builder. Foundation issues, driveway issues, etc......Read More

I have worked for this contracting company for over 2 years now and I have completed several jobs on this one property totaling about $13,000 the lady gets mad when I ask her for what she owes me or if I give her another invoice or a letter asking if or payment in full. She keeps stalling and after many hours investigating I told this woman that I know how to do electrical and plumbing but I do not have a license to actually do it and she stated that they are a licensed contracting company and that I could do the electrical and plumbing work, working under the company's license and under there supervision. They do legally identify as a licensed contracting company. I have done some research and the company dont have any type of license and I checked and they also didn't pull any permits for the work I and other people have done and this is on some major renovations and repairs which would require a permit . Is there any trouble I can get in if I file a lien for the unlicensed work I did on the companys property they own that I did the work on? I never identified myself as a contractor or sub contractor it was never discussed. I was originally hired to put on a couple of doors in the house and put new door hardware throughout all the doors on the house and to install some new toilets so my jobs just escalated from there...Read More
