If you improved real property, you can file a lien. You do not need a signed written agreement (however, you should always use solid written agreements) to file a lien. As a legal matter, the communication via messenger could constitute a written agreement. However, again, it does not matter in the context of your rights to file a lien and to sue for the amount claimed due Follow the lien procedures to the letter. If they don't pay, which is quite common, then file for small claims. Foreclosing a lien over $3200 does not make financial sense.
