FloridaConstruction ContractPayment DisputesRecovery OptionsRight to Lien

I have a homeowner that is not wanting to pay me for the material I provided, 10 yards of concrete and rebar that have already been laid and poured. I pulled off the job because I fired an employee, and the homeowner is allowing this ex-employee to continue on with the project and states that he has a contract with them even though he has paid me on 2 out of a 3-part invoice for job. I have paid for all the material (labor too)

You cannot remove materials that have been incorporated into the property. You can file a lien for any unpaid labor, services and materials that have gone into the property. You have 90 days from the date you pulled off of the job. That deadline must be observed or you will not have any lien rights.
