The customer responded to an NTO recently sent and stated the 100 Franklin Templeton St Petersburg, FL 33716 address we have for this project is not correct. Customer stated 100 Carillon Pkwy N St Petersburg fl is the correct address. We first furnished material 8/12, do we need to resend an NTO to the correct address?

First of all the Lien was not filed thru Levelset. This is my first time using the service.
The work was completed on a church building and on apartment units owned by the church. The 'owner' on the Lien is 'the Name of Church' (actual name not used here).
What are the best answers for these questions, based on the options provided? Job Type, Specific Job Type, Customer's Role
Also, the Lien identifies the 'claimant as 'Project Manager' so can I use 'General Contractor' as the response for 'Your Role'.

I opened up a roofing and remodeling company last year and got commercial insurance. I don't have any employees ( just a small company), I used subcontractors. I honestly thought the insurance was for home owner property damage. When renewing the policy a few months ago the person that originally set up the policy no longer worked there. A different person helped me renew and asked me if I required sub contractors to provide proof of insurance. I told her I didn't know I was supposed to, and I would look into it. I stopped roofing operations and started trying to find ones that had insurance and went back and read the policy again. I am now being audited by a third party company for last year. I do not know what to do. My wife and I are worried sick they can come after not just the company but us personally even though I have a LLC. I am trying to find out my options on how to address this. Should I call the company and tell them and hope for understanding or follow through with the audit and then try to explain it in court. This was just a honest misunderstanding and mistake but I am worried and don't know what to do first. I am actually considering closing my company after this as I thought the LLC would protect me personally. I know many others that own roofing companies in DFW and they do not have to require their subs to be insured. I feel like I was provided a different type of policy than other companies like mine in DFW. ...Read More
I have a contactor who sent me several change orders for work that I never agreed to pay for after the work was already completed. There is no signed contract or estimate for the work. He is now threatening to file a lien on my house if I don't pay the extra bills that I never agreed to or knew were coming until after the work was complete.
Can he actually file a lien on my house for this, and what rights or recourse do I have to stop this?...Read More

Owner hired a licensed GC to perform work on a building. GC then brought day-laborers to the job site, and allegedly didn't pay them. GC has disappeared and filed for bankruptcy.
Laborers, through the Labor Commissioner, recorded mechanics liens 100 days after cessation of work on Owner's property. Included numerous claims in their lien that are likely false, and likely cannot be proven. Laborers then filed a lawsuit to foreclose for unpaid wages and interest 91 days later against the property manager, assuming he was the Owner of the property, when he was not.
Afterwards, Laborers filed an amendment to their mechanics lien another 6 months later after the original lien/cessation of work, requesting even more money, without any reasonable explanation. Finally, the Laborers then filed a lawsuit to foreclose on the amended mechanics lien 6 months after recording their mechanics lien.
(1) Are unpaid wages and interest the appropriate measure of damages for laborers in this scenario? The reasonable value of the work is close to nothing, because Owner received no benefit and had to pay a separate contractor even more to perform the work the Laborers asserted.
(2) Is either the original or the amended mechanics lien valid, given the timing of their respective lawsuits? Do they relate back?...Read More

so what does it mean:
A. TWG does not financially guarantee the Owner's ability to fund the Project cost. In the event of Owner's insolvency or willful refusal to pay TWG, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Owner Agreement, it is an express condition of this Subcontract Agreement that TWG's obligation to pay Subcontractor is contingent upon receipt of payment from Owner for Subcontractor's Work. Owner's withholding of a TWG payment, due to an alleged failure by TWG to perform any of its obligations unrelated to this Subcontract Agreement, will not excuse payment to Subcontractor according to the terms of this Subcontract Agreements...Read More
I hired a GC back in May to redo my bedroom, closet and bathroom that were flooded due to the freeze and burst pipes above this area and replace carpet in living room and halls. I was given a bid by GC and agreed he’d do the work, nothing was signed and I agreed to his bid and price. The job took way too long and he had to redo quite a few things more than once, he would tell me he made a mistake on his bid but then would say but I’ll have to eat the cost. He was not a nice person to deal with at all because he’d choose tile without asking and had to take it back and blamed me even though he didn’t ask what I wanted. Work took May-Aug and had to continue to ask each day if he was coming back to finish the work. Finally the room was done and we were moving on the floors, well the bid did say carpet and I told him I’d pay the difference to do laminate flooring but then he said no you’re going to have to pay for all supplies for the floors and I told him no per your bid you included carpet, padding and installation. After a very heated argument I decided and told him it would be best for me to just pay for the work that was completed. He told me he’d have to go over the numbers and I told him I subtracted the amounts for the carpet he listed on the bid, he said he needed time to look at the numbers and redo the cost and I told him if you need to do that for you that’s fine but I’m going by the bid. After over a week not hearing from him I reached out and told him I had a check for the difference, he came by and attempted to give me additional paperwork with a new amount that I owed him, which was pretty much the entire amount i owed him. I told him no we agreed on the first bid and here’s the check (I did put final payment on it) he yelled and threatened me that he could just come back and take apart my room and I told him I’d call the police. Well this GC, who is actually not even a licensed GC or has an actual company is friend of my ex so my ex said he’d talk to him and give him the check. Now he won’t accept it, saying I owe much more. I’m being fair by just deducting from the bid the work that wasn’t done. What can I do in this case? I just want this done, the work wasn’t even done all correctly either and I’m not even deducting for that either. From what I’ve read he can’t file a lien which he has threatened me as well. Am I just a sitting duck waiting to get sued? Then I can counter sue for the bad work and the work that he didn’t complete? I also have a few recordings of our conversation that he says he’s only going off the bid. He never once gave me any additional paperwork with added costs of anything so how can he now give me a new bill. Any advice will help?...Read More
