Hello We are researching information about Materialman’s Lien for project in Washinton DC. I found this article about it, but Washington DC state is not specified. https://www.levelset.com/blog/materialmans-lien-overview-for-suppliers/ We are materials supplier, and we fabricate windows specifically for each project. The client can’t accept windows at the moment, and we are storing them in a warehouse for 76 days. We would like to clarify regarding Lien option on specifically fabricated materials, what are the due dates and documents we would need to submit in case client will not take windows from warehouse. Thank you!
A mechanic's lien is for labor or materials furnished - if you don't furnish the windows, it is unlikely a judge will allow a mechanic's lien to attach. So while you may have a breach of contract action or another remedy as might be provided under the contract or proposal, I don't think a mechanic's lien is the right approach, unless you first deliver the windows.
