The Gen contractor whom I have have successfully worked for 5 previous jobs is not paying me. There is no work related problem. I entered into a verbal agreement to provide finish carpentry in a church remodel. Now I completed the labor for a mutually agreed $2.300.00. The Gen contractor will not return my many calls, texts and emails. I sent multiple copy of a payment invoice.I have received 0 dollars on this project.I am not licensed at this time as I am partially retired. I last worked in the church on Sept 18, 2020. Can i file a legal mechanics lien on the building to get paid?
From the facts you've presented, I think you can record a construction lien against the church for non-payment of the carpentry work (improvement) you provided to the general contractor. If your last date of work was September 18, 2020, you are still within your 90 days (as I write this answer on November 6, 2020).
Licensing is an issue in residential construction, but not in commercial, industrial, or other non-residential types of construction.
Since you did not contract with the church, you should provide and serve a Notice of Furnishing to the Church prior to recording your lien. LevelSet can help you with both the NOF and Claim of Lien.
Good luck!
