HI,
I hired a Asphalt company to pave my yard in April 2019 and I paid him in full.
Now; the supplier wants to put lien on my property because of my contractor didn’t pay for material around 32k.
The contractor is filing bankruptcy. I did not receive any lien notice either from contractor or supplier at the time of signing the contract.
Can they put lien on my property? What do I need to do?
Thanks,

I filed liens on fitness center jobs in TX and IL. The fitness centers went bankrupt (they are my client - I was supplying materials directly to them). The fitness centers were tenants, and now attorneys for the owners/landlords are saying I don't have lien rights and demanding I cancel the lien. Is it true that the owners/landlords would not be responsible in these states? Does only the tenant have responsibility to make sure I get paid?...Read More

The work related to the lien I am filing was done in Multiple Units throughout a Condo building...but technically the company I was doing the work for was working for the Home Owners Association, not the individual units.
The HOA is providing Internet and TV to all the units in the building, and my work was related to installing the equipment required for the HOA to provide those services to individual Units in the building. (Its a bulk TV and Internet service, so all units will get the service, however I only installed the equipment in certain Units)
What do you recommend? ...Read More
Our company has worked with one GC on two different projects. One project was an outdoor project in which the GC demanded that we use a material that we knew was unsuitable for outdoor use and advised them against it because we knew there would be future issues. We have gone back on 3 occasions to fix this project but still, more work is needed long-term due to their misstep. We simultaneously completed a second project with the same GC, to the homeowner's satisfaction and now the GC is withholding payment for the completed job until we repair the other project. We have assured the GC that we would happily assist with the other project once we receive payment for the job we completed but they are still refusing to pay us. Do we have any recourse in the situation? Please note that a preliminary notice was not sent. ...Read More

My boss who is not a designer, is the proprietor of the shop were I work. He rendered services accumulating over 20 billable hours, plus travel time back and forth from Market. He has sent over a bill to clients for said services. The clients refused to pay because they never signed any contract and ultimately did not purchase from us. My boss entered into this project with good faith that they would purchase from us as it was implied verbally by client. He has measurements and images from the space and timed sessions describing activity. Can we in the state of Florida County of Brevard....Read More
Hi
I hired a general contractor to redo my bathroom, and do a walk in shower. I requested a signed contract but he ignored my request, but furnished me with a detailed estimate. The floor of the tiled shower was not pitched right, neither was the shower threshold, and water was pooling. He redid it once and still not right. I hired a professional tiler to redo/repair it and it cost $1500. We discovered he had tiled over tile the second time! I also had the tiler replace the threshold at the bathroom entrance which was crooked which cost $290. He had also walked off the job with the doorway unpainted and back splash to vanity not installed.
He only deducted $1000 off of the bill for shower repair. He added costs to the bill unexpected like $100 for installing the toilet holder and mirror. $50 for "adjusting window" that wasn't on the estimate. He had told me he would take $500 off the bill in May for the fact we had 110V for washing machine (a European all in one) and he had priced for 220V. He didn't in the final invoice. He charged us $100 to vacuum up the debris that fell on my downstairs kitchen ceiling (that has a removable panel in case of plumbing issues) when he has "cleanup" as a part of his estimate.
Now he is saying unless he gets the full amount he invoiced me for, he will place a contractor's lien on Monday. I have just been approved for financing for a line of credit but haven't closed yet. I am worried this will mess that up. I planned on sending him a detailed certified letter and paying him the balance after deducting the cost of the tiler, and maint man to finish painting and install the back splash.
I have been told I have the Right of Recoupement. Can he still file a lien without a signed contract? I want to deduct the larger amount for the shower repair, plus the other things I mentioned, but don't want a lien on my hose. He will NOT negotiate at all. What can I do?
