We are a supplier of engineered wood products. Most of our projects are direct delivery to a jobsite that has an address that can be used to put a Lien in place if needed. Recently we have started to supply bundles of material to lumberyards in which there would be no direct connection to a specific job address. In these circumstances, do we have any Lien rights? I believe the answer is no since we do not have a direct connection to the material being incorporated into the building, but just want to confirmation that would be correct. Thank you!...Read More

I am a homeowner in Denton County Texas
We had a water leak under the foundation that cam up and through the foundation into the house in a hallway.
We have a 1,900 square foot home and a water mitigation company performed basic demo/remediation of the entire house flooring (tile and floating laminate), all trim removed, and only a hallway with about half of the sheetrock removed on the bottom 2 feet.
A water mitigation company has filed a lien against our home because we are protesting paying their bill which was $16k over the $28k insurance already paid. Insurance will not pay any more until they review discrepancies in the bill.
The company refuses to engage in reviewing the bill and items we identify as errors, etc.
They got my husband to sign a contract that had no $$ amount listed only agree to pay "TBD".
I did not sign the contract. I am one of the two homeowners (my husband and I).
Is the lien filing legal if i didn't sign the contract?
Any recommendations for next steps?

My roof contractor is demanding payment in full (partial payment was paid previously). He recently submitted supplements and my homeowner's insurance has not released all of the funds for the supplements or the depreciation for the roof claim. He came to my door demanding payment of a different amount than he had on a previous invoice he gave me that was from January. The amount he showed me was written in pencil. I told him that the insurance has not paid me in full and the supplements were in the pipeline to be paid but I don't have the money or a revised estimate from my insurance yet, so I will pay him for the work completed at the amount the insurance approved once they send that to me. He waved an estimate from my insurance in front of me with different amounts than the versions I have in my portal and said he can see that I am supposed to get X amount from my insurance for my entire claim so just pay him. This estimate appeared to have my entire claim information on it (for other areas of my home that he is not a contractor on) and he would not let me look at, hold or photocopy the document. Then he tried to say that I should get 20K in depreciation for my entire claim so I should just pay him now. I do not have in writing what the insurance has approved for the supplements, but from a rep I spoke to last week, he submitted supplements for work that he did not do (to include installing drip edge (he did not remove or reinstall any drip edge on my home), starter shingles installed (he used upside down regular shingles that did not match my roof and were obviously from another job) and those items are required per manufacturers guidelines and drip edge is required per buidling code. I texted him to say to send the invoice and we will compare to insurance and pay for what was completed and at the rate the insurance approved. He then said that he will have his attorney file in court for nonpayment and per his contract, I will owe attorneys fees for nonpayment claims. What recourse do I have? isn't he in breach of contract, guilty of fraud (for billing insurance/me for work he did not complete), or anything that allows us to not pay for attorney's fees? I am happy to pay for work completed, but my insurance hasn't paid me yet. I feel he is pressuring me with fraudulent documents and that should matter if it goes to court. ...Read More
