i was contracted by a pool contractor to build custom gates and fencing for a home owner the pool contractor told me to get my payment from the home owner because the homeowner owes him money the home owner says he paid the contractor for the gates i have yet to get paid 😡😡😡 i filed a mechanics lien ( with the help of level set) on the home owner with no response it's been 1 month now
To enforce the lien you need to file an action to foreclose on the lien.
That must done within 90 days of project completion or your lien rights expire.
You have 90 days after the recording to file a lawsuit to foreclose on the lien. Meanwhile, you should make a claim on the license bond of the GC who hired you. Double track it. If you get to 60 days after recording without a resolution, then file your lawsuit to foreclose on the lien and include the license bond surety.
