What to do if the gc doesn’t pay

ArizonaPayment Bond

I was hired to do plumbing work on a condo remodel. The total came out to 1200. While there the contractor had me basically finish the rest of the remodel. I was only paid 600 out of the 1200 for the plumbing and told the rest was coming, by the time I finished the rest of the remodel I had not received the 600+I was still owed so I added that to the invoice for ththe condo remodel. The total was $2100 o believe, the contractor then asked me to do another job in scottsdale which I was hesitant to do with out receiving payment on the first and second job still but he talked me into it and said he would have payment by mon or tues. so I started the 3rd. Job and had to put close to 400 dollars into materials on this one. When Tuesday came around no call no reply to my text and of course no payment as stated so I didn’t go back to the job on Wednesday. That evening. The designer of the job started texting me asking me to go back and finish it stating she would pay me personally even tho she had already paid the gc for the job. So I agreed and worked on it Thursday-sunday even missed out on another $2000 job for someone else just to try and help her get this $700+job done. Well all said and done, Sunday rolls around and she says thank you I’ll make sure the gc pays you in full for the job and she does not pay me a dime. Ow it’s been almost 2 months and I still have not been paid for any of the 3 jobs. The gc has an excuse for something every time I text asking about It. What’s my options? I don’t havey. a written contract but I do have All text messages including $$amounts from both the gc and the designer who said she would pay me personally

It sounds like the work is done and you did not send a preliminary 20-day notice. If that is the case, then you don't have mechanic's lien rights. However, you can still sue the GC for breach of contract. Save the texts, they will help. It's possible that you have a claim against the owner for unjust enrichment, but I would need to know more before making that determination.

The only thing I sent him was an invoice when I was done.
