Hello

Washington

I am a General contractor that stepped in to help a fellow contractor with a project that he was not capable of completing. He had the home owner give me a down payment and when it came time for them to reimbursement for the labor Cost that was over and above the down payment, he kicked me off the job poached my crew members, and refused to pay me for my labor and the labor that I paid out above and beyond the down payment.

Hello GC,
Within the 90 days of when you ceased your labor you can file a Lien against the property for the amount owed. You must provide both the owner and the other contractor with notice of the Lien. Do it as soon as possible because the owner may not have fully paid the other contractor and you want to hold this payment up to help assure that you get paid.
