Hello my name is Jim Brown and I'm a sole proprietor for J&D floor covering in RI. I was asked by a Massachusetts construction company to install flooring at a jobsite in NH. I was coaxed basically from 1 dollar a sf up to 2 dollars a sf which I finally said yes. Starting on October 8th I started installing and finished 8 days later. I then sent an invoice for 4284.00. This was a second invoice the first one I was asked to lower because it had additional monies in it because of extra work like floor prep. It would have been 1000 higher which I finally agreed too. I finally received a check for 2658. I asked why not full payment and was told its policy to withhold till final inspection. I waited until 90 days passed asked when I can expect to receive balance and was told today. They kept 486 for workman's comp insurance and 1140 to repair some door jambs in a unit. For one thing I've worked for this group in the past and never had to pay for this insurance and I was never given the chance to go and repair any issue with the floor, The amount they are charging for a small repair is extravagant. I want to know if I can file a lien for the remainder? Thanks Jim
