My husband and I own a full service flooring company supplying materials and installation. We have a customer who owes us $50,000 however we did not file a preliminary notice. We don’t usually have this problem. We have just prepared a notice of intent to lien and plan to serve it tomorrow. Are we still able to file a mechanics lien if he still doesn’t pay after the notice of intent is received and 10 days pass with no payment?
Is your contract with the property owner or lessee/tenant? Is there a construction lender on the project?
