Demand for payment

I have sent my customer a demand for payment letter. We completed the work and all materials have been installed. He has responded to the demand letter and in his letter he states that I have 30 days to provide evidence for the reason of the demand letter. How do I now respond back to him?

Your work is all the evidence you need to provide. Assuming there are no impediments to pursuing a mechanic's lien, if you are a subcontractor, you have 30 days from recordation of a Notice of Completion (NOC) to record a lien, or 90 days after completion of the project (not just your scope of work, but the entire work of improvement) if no NOC is recorded. You must file suit within 90 days of recording the lien. As a direct contractor, you have 60 days from recordation of a NOC to record a lien, or 90 days after completion of the entire project if no NOC is recorded. Again, you must file suit within 90 days of recording the lien. Good luck.
