Hello,
I am in Colorado and I filed an intent to lien to get my final payments moving from a project that has been done a while. On 8/30/21 my lien rights will be gone and Levelset is unaware of Colorado's ability to file extensions of notice of intent to lien. I really DON'T want to file a lien. I am just hoping to get their attention as well as keep my rights open. Please advise since Levelset is missing the extension step in their processes....Read More

We sent an NOI and filed a Lien on a job in Colorado, without Prime Contractor info. We now have that information and are still well within our lien rights period. We have already previously asked the legal team what to do and they said the correct process is to release the lien and refile an "amended lien" as the original lien statement. We have released the lien and are about to order the NOI and then wait the 10 days to file the amended lien. My question is, can I order an NOI normally in levelset, or do I need to send an "amended" NOI the same as I have to send an amended lien?...Read More
We paid a contractor half of his asking price and he began work replacing and repairing our front and back decks on our private one family home. He asks as a favor to pay off the balance, which we did and we have not seen him on the project since. We have communicated with him regarding this, but his replies are of course sketchy and vague. Can we use a mechanics loan to recoup our losses?...Read More
I am trying to determine the amount of the lien. We have a project that is under contract in the amount of $3.8 million. We have been paid $2.5 million to date but now the contract is 80% complete so we should have been paid $3,040,000 on the base contract and we have completed $330K in changes to date that we have approved contract changes for, which is in addition to the contract amount. We also have $125k in outstanding changes and of the $125K in outstanding changes we have completed $82K. If we need to file a lien, what amount will the lien amount be?...Read More
