I need to know the laws around mitigation vs renovations when it comes to lien laws. Now I am under the impression that you should send a notice of contract before any work begins, does this pertain to emergency service calls such as tarping roofs or installing an emergency temp tarp on a property? We have contracts that range from $10k to $400k and we need to know our rights around filing liens. We need help and assistance asap we have literally $10M in outstanding AR and we need HELP collecting! We hired levelset as our lien platform but we don't want to send out liens for properties that they just simply won't stick! We want to understand if we sent a notice of contract in levelset, today for example would it extend our lien rights on a property for 7 months even if we tarped the roof in January of this year and just got the customer approved for a new roof in Nov of 2022 (for example) We are firing away notices of contracts, notices of intents to lien and notices of non payments like its no tomorrow in this application. We just need to make sure we are doing it correctly and our liens will stick! Please advise!
