Can my contractor file a mechanic lien?

Oregon

HOMEOWNER QUESTION: I've paid my contractor 90% of the job cost. There are still problems with the cabinets (18% of cost) - finish flaws, door misalignments, and promise to replace new dented microwave. There is a 3' x 5' area where new hardwood flooring was torn out due to carpenters' scratch. The flooring was removed before a new box was opened to reveal a MUCH darker existing wood. Lighter wood has not been located. My contractor is giving me a deadline to pay the balance which is to be paid "upon substantial completion". I don't consider the job substantially complete.
