Can I place a construction lein on this job?

FloridaPreliminary Notice

I am a sub contractor. Block and brick masonry. I have completed work on a project and the company that hired me tells me the job is not complete so my invoice is rejected. I have completed the contract and did additional work that they told me they were waiting on a change order for. I have been jumping through hoops to get paid for the work that is complete. Last week they told me it was the wrong day to send the invoice this week they are rejecting it. Can I place a lein on the building it is a Publix.

You have the right to file a construction lien for any unpaid labor, services and materials in place - not to be done in the future - but presently installed or provided. You may file the lien at any time up to 90 days from the time you finish your contract work, not including punch-out or trivial work. The lien may be amended to add or subtract value or make corrections within the 90-day period. If you do not file the lien within the 90-day period then you will not have any lien rights.
