Questions about Mechanic's Lien Deadlines

LouisianaMechanics Lien

in a situation where we did emergency tarping with a contract for roof repairs, but the homeowner went with another contractor before we could start work, would the deadline for filing a contractor's lien be 60 days from when the tarping was completed, or from when we were notified that they went with another contractor? Does a notice of intent to lien extend that deadline at all? I'm getting conflicting answers on various websites

Factually, if you were taking steps to roof the house it may be from the date they terminated the contract. Was any notice of termination filed?

How long ago did the homeowner obtain another contractor?

There are a number of homeowners for which this question would apply, and the time frames are different for all of them

It would probably be best to email those details to me. mmontiel@montielhodge.com
