Hello, I work for a flooring contractor and I need some help with a situation we are in. We completed a job back in July and have yet to be paid for the work we performed. Since we did not send a preliminary notice in the beginning of the project, are we unable to file a lien? If not, what are our other options to receive payment?...Read More

My sisters inlaws hired my girlfriend and I to renovate some units they own. They liked our work and made us their property management. Money was never an issue at first. She boasted about my work and couldn't be happier. Then, something happened, not sure what but slowly but surely getting materials slowed down and production slowed as well. I started buying materials to finish up and was told to bring receipts. Jobs finished, sent invoice and she didn't want to pay. Wants discounts and paid half. Two 1 bedroom units I did for $13000.00. Painted top to bottom, removed and repaired molded sheetrock behind cabinets in kitchen and bathrooms, taped and bedded, textured where needed, made custom countertops from travertine and granite, travertine backsplashes in kitchens, travertine floors in kitchen and baths, new tub surrounds, new valves, new anglestops, 1 new tub, new cabinets, everything new. She's taking off stuff on my invoices and paying what she wants. I have 5 invoices with remainders on them and what she has paid has kept me broke barely paying my bills, incurring late fees, and I'm borrowing money from family to make it. She's loaded and there's no reason other than She's punishing me for something I didn't do. Can elaborate more if needed, way more bs going on too. She's kicking me out of a house I'm renting knowing I have no money to get a new place cause she's my employer. One day about a week ago she left my house mad and that night one property I was doing got hit and I lost over $1000 in tools. I can go on and on....Read More
Was hired to hang kitchen cabinets for $150. Needed supplies came out of that amount. During first day (Tues), all cabinet doors as well as shelf units already in place were stained and ready to be hung the following day.
After much back and forth with the acting general contractor, they were hung the next day (Wed)and the area cleaned.
Contractor, then declared job was unfit and threatened docking pay due to a cabinet (in reality a cabinet found in an alley that was initially designed to fit under a bathroom vanity) settling on the plaster wall in which it was hung causing a 1/16in drop on one side.
On the following SUNDAY, after my daily calling and demanding my pay ($100 at this point), I was given $60 and told to be happy.
Although its a minor amount, I feel that this woman got MUCH more quality work than she paid for, even at the quoted rate. My question is do I have a case to file? It will be a pittance in comparison to most Mech. Liens, but the principle makes it priceless to me. ...Read More
