Mechanics liens

California

The amount of the lien is limited to the reasonable value of the labor, services, equipment, or materials furnished or for the price agreed upon by the claimant and the person with whom he or she contracted, whichever is less. My question is: who does this refer to, the claimant and the general contractor or the claimant and the owner of the project?

If the subcontractor is the claimant, then "contracted" refers to the contract between the general contractor and the subcontractor. That amount should be stated in the Preliminary Notice.
