Iam a residential subcontractor. I was hired by a GC to reside, reroof & install new soffit and fascia on a residential property in cloquet mn. I never received a down a payment and I never filed a intent to lien notice to the gc or the home owner. The project was started on Nov 20th 2020. The last day I worked was jan 26th and at that point the project was 99% completed. The home was inspected by the city building inspector and passed. We ran short on a few materials to finish the job 100% and they were a couple weeks out after ordering them. So I submitted an invoice for $14,000 roughly to the general contractor only for the work that was completed. The contractor then tells me that he will not be paying until the project is completed. But tells me that the homeowner and himself do not want me on the property till after they can meet on Feb 4th to see how they wanna proceed with the project because there are some quality of work being disputed. (Mind you the city building inspector already passed the work as it was done to meet mn building code) also feb 4th just so happened to be 45 buisness days from the first day work was furnished. So I didn't realize that till afterwards and now they meet and are saying that there is only $3800.00 roughly of undisputed work that they are willing to pay me and want me to sign a lien release form apon paying me. What are my options?
