The contract in question on this project requires our company, Compaction And Recycling Equipment, Inc (CARE) to install four trash chutes into two new construction buildings for the University of AL (Tutwiler) Residence Hall student housing. Both buildings are on one contract however we installed one building in late August and the other last month. In talking to a Levelset representative (Jenny) about this matter earlier today - she advised that for the State of AL the lien must be filed within four months after the last work is complete and it is recommended that pre-lien notification be sent out to improve claimants position. It has been over four months since the completion of the first building but we are still wrapping up work on the second building, does our timing preclude us from filing on the first building or since both buildings are one contract can we utilize the second building date (last work mid DEC) for both buildings?...Read More

I understand Alabama law is strict when it comes to unlicensed contractor's work, however, we are a separate company from the contractor who performed unlicensed work. We were contacted by the contractor to rent fans and dehumidifiers from us to dry out individual condo units. Our machines did not alter, repair, or attach to any structure. Our machines simply dried the air in the unit to help the material dry itself. We also had labor involved with the placement of the equipment and the monitoring of the drying process. Can we recover? It exceeds $100,000.00 ...Read More
