In Colorado, contractor's work ended on my rental remodel in Nov or Dec 2020 (defect repairs in Dec), exited house last time on 08Jan21, fully paid, paid extra to get out. Contractor recorded Mechanics lien statement against house and myself on 31Mar21, for $51K, without any NOI service or affidavet and only 9 days after notarized, numerous errors on statement. I've had $5K in attorney bills to sort issue. House on lien sold, closed 28May21. Land Title ecrowed 1.5X lien amount from my proceeds, pending lien resolution to insure title. No action of any kind has been taken by contractor to cure or foreclose. The CRS 38-22-110 deadline of six months since work ended for action was 08Jul21, lien is invalid, not to mention spurious, in bad gfaith, excessive. Requests to contrctor to volntarily release with no response. Question, with no need to file suit to "show-cause" as lien is no longer valid, how do I simply petition court to dismiss/discharge lien so i can record a release, get my escrowed funds released from Title?...Read More

I hired a contractor who bid the job at $50/hr. He informed me that he needed help and hired his friend to help. The bill I received charged 29.5 hours for both the contractor and his friend. I told the contractor I did not agree to pay his employee $50/hr and that the contractor is responsible to pay his employee. Contractor said his help is an independent contractor, which I said he was not authorized to hire an IC without my approval and I was not provided a certificate of insurance for his help. The contractor said his help was working under his GL insurance. There is no contract and the contractor is still billing me $1475 for his help. Based on Colorado law, i am understanding correctly that because there is no written contract and the cost was over $500 the contractor cannot file a lien on my property?...Read More

I am purchasing a condo in Denver which has a mechanic lien on 22 of the 23 units in the complex. This will not be resolved before I'm ready to close even though the Contractor has given me a lien release on my unit but is keeping the lien on the other 22. My question is can I get a mortgage when the association and 22 out of 23 units have a lien release but I do not?...Read More

An architect created designs for a project in my single family home. He never provided any quote for fees or pricing. After a couple months of discussion I decided to end the project verbally and via email. He then sent me a bill for his designs 4 months later with prices I never agreed to. I asked for clarification on the pricing and he never responded. Now, 8 months after he last created a design for us he is threatening to place a lien on my property. No physical work has been done on the property. He only created designs. And it has been 8 months since the last designs. Can he truly place a mechanics lien on my property or any other type of professional design lien? Thank you. ...Read More
