Hi. The information on the site is helpful but it’s confusing. The site says designers have the same rights as contractors and if they are hired directly they are considered dp’s. Yet, in all the questions regarding interior designers, the answers seem to be that the courts do not recognize designers rights to lien. So which one is it? If a designer has been part of the construction of a home. Providing advice and details for the homeowners contractor, ie. base molding details, floor stain colors, hardware specifications etc. these are all permanent changes to the home. If a designer provides project management services for a project involving sanding and staining of wood flooring in a home, replacing flooring, etc. wouldn’t that be considered lienable? Interior designers do more that just place furniture and advise on paint colors. Where do the courts stand on that? Why does the site provide information saying design professionals have the same rights, but then it’s refuted? Have there been any cases involving designer successfully filing liens in NY?
