Did you timely deliver a notice to owner? If yes, did you file a construction lien within 90 days from completing your work excluding punch out?

You must file a construction lien and send a copy to the owner by certified mail, return receipt within 15 days. I would also send a letter with a copy of the lien explaining that you have not been paid and will hire legal counsel to foreclose the lien if not paid within one week. VERY IMPORTANT- If you have been served with a request for a sworn statement of account you must serve your response to it within 30 days or you will lose your right to a construction lien. I suggest that you get a lawyer involved in this to protect your position. You should budget $250-350. It is money well spent when you consider possibly losing your right to get paid from the owner.
