I finished work on a residential remodel and im still owed 10,000. Now the client is moving out of state and her house is on the market. I have a paragraph in my contract that i make them initial that states if final payment is not received that i will file a lien against said property.
There are a lot of factors in whether you are able to file a lien. These include date of completiton, total of project, if required whether notices were filed, etc. As long as you haven't waiting too long, you can probably file the lien. If you want a specific answer, we would need to review all of these factors to provide you with an answer. Give us a call to discuss further if you would like 504-323-5885.
