Hello, CA based home owner who had commissioned a fairly extensive Reno. Working with my primary CG has been fine. He has used a sub-GC for much of the work. Who in turn used multiple specific sub-subs/trades the sub-subs have not been paid by the sub-GC. the sub-gc has informed the sub-subs to file liens on the property. There have been 0 prelim 20 day notices. Much of the work was never fully completed by the sub-subs and is well over 5x months past now Q: am I protected since there was never a prelim notices and its well past 20 day notice? Q: What happens if a sub-sub files a lien without serving a prelim 20 day notice? Q: What should my steps be to dispute the false lien? Thx
