I am homeowner in Los Angeles county, using Earthquake Brace and Bolt program and also probably additional foundation work on 1927 house. To protect myself from liens that may be filed against my property-when I have paid contract in full - will a performance and payment bond protect me? How much should it cost? If so, should I additionally get conditional or unconditional lien releases at all payment points in the $10.5K contract? Is is really a law that the contractor must provide me with lien releases for all people, suppliers, laborers, etc. on the job? Thank you!
