Its very likely under these circumstances that you have a defense to payment and that the contractor cannot legally file a lien on your property. There are a few exceptions to the licensing requirment but the fact that they claimed to be licensed creates problems for them. Let me know if you need further help. Thanks, Richard (404) 500-6302
