We are the general contractor. This work was not done satisfactorily and we hired another company to correct it. How do we prevent lien from being filed against our client?

If you're concerned that a subcontractor or vendor of yours may file a mechanics lien - it'd be wise to contact that potential claimant to try and resolve the dispute. Most businesses prefer to resolve matters without having to resort to a lien claim - so there's typically a fair amount of opportunity to negotiate or to try and resolve the issue some other way.
If you have specific objections and documentation refuting their prospective claim (like photos, invoices for repair work, etc.), then that might be useful, to bring to their attention as well.
It sounds like this resource may be useful, too: I Just Received a Notice of Intent to Lien – What Should I Do Now?
