We have made wood products for a Sub contractor. Its been 6 months and keep pushing payment and now he offered %50 of the payment. I was told by the Main Contractor that there were no bond on the project, witch I find hard to believe. It was a big Remodel project at Turtle Bay Resort, Hawaii.
I saw that the sub contractor have a bond, ( Contractor License requirement ) . Can we got after that bond for Payment? I understand that going to court will cost more than what they owe us $9,798.75. Please let me know what are the best option in this case.
Thank you very much

I have completed work as a subcontractor for a general contractor. We have filed all the appropriate invoices lien releases etc. The GC keeps changing paperwork required for collecting payment, we emailed the paperwork they gave us, several times already. Then they say they haven’t received payment from the client. But they have. The client we are working for happens to be a client of mine as well.

My Name is Salvatore Chillura and Levelset placed a Lien on a job for me. On the Lien for Brickner Reference ID: 6600932 in the Property Owner address the correct zip code is 33629 but under the Liened "Property" it is incorrectly listed as 33614. I do not want it to get thrown out due to a technicality. I know in Florida the address and legal description has to be precise. FYI, this customer has a contract on his house and will be closing in 2 weeks. Time is of the essence....Read More
Sometimes, we are never given a dollar amount from our customer for the job and we provide Levelset with only what materials we have charged on the job so far, or it ends up being quite a bit higher than the amount the customer provides. As time has gone on, there have been conflicting opinions about this situation from Levelset. Can you clarify for us?...Read More
What if you prelim a job for lets say an initial contract amount of $200,000. And then you get a change order (later in the job) for a substantial amount, lets say $500,000. Do you prelim again? And if so do you calculate the new total, or just send it with the new change order amount?...Read More
I'm a handyman in idaho. I was recently on a job in Fruitland idaho where the people did not pay me for my services. I bought a door for $700 and installed it in a day into his shop and put in some threshold pieces on some flooring I installed. They owed me $2800 for my labor and materials. I have two contracts saying they would pay me the last 10% owed on the entire project plus the cost of the door and for installing a vent for them. And multiple texts saying they woukd pay soon as I installed the door and the threshold pieces. They pushed the date out about 1 week for me to come out and wanted me to come out on a weekend I did as they wanted. After I completed the job he simply Said if I wanted to be paid then I'd have to take him to court and to get off his property having to leave the door. I just put in and installed. I told him the door was my property and that this was theft. He said I took to long to come out and I took to long to do the project. There was never any completion dates in are contract. They put completion dates on me as I was working that were unreasonable and setting me up for failure. I still met there deadline working sometimes tell 2:00AM. I later said to him I'm not going to be bullied and harrased through out this project expecting more things for free from me. ... Can I file a lien I have two signed contracts and text messages promising payment. I feel I was tricked to install the door and do the work that they had this planned out for me to purchase a $700 commercial door . Not once did they mention my quality of work but just stated I took to long. I feel I was taken advantage of here and bullied put of my work. What can I do? Can I ask for more money then what is owed because of financial problems this us causing for me do to breach of contract and Losses of opportunity. I work through Thumbtack its kinda like Uber but I pay for leads. I'm a Top Pro handyman on there site. I gave 48 good reviews and a 4.8 star rating and was rewarded top pro 2 years in a row. Because of lack of money I don't have money for more leads from Thumbtack until I get paid more money. It's costing me money not being able to work....Read More
