I was hired by a Colorado GC to install as specified in the plans provided by the architect (this included which specific products to install). There is an issue with the manufacture of the products themselves, but they were installed properly. I am being told that I have punch list items to complete because the products are not working correctly. The products are defective, but install was correct. The GC should have already received 3 draws on this project, but is saying they have not received any payment. There is a pay when paid clause in the contract. The project is in CO.
Due to the corona virus, the site (it is a visual arts center owned by a university) is shut down so I couldn't do the punch list even if I wanted to.
What steps do I need to take to preserve my lien rights? How can I send an NOI when they aren't even open?...Read More

I'm a new homeowner in CO who recently closed on my home. I just received a notice of Intent to Lien from a roofing company the homebuilder used for work. If we closed through a Title company is the Lien against my home valid? What level exposure does a homebuyer have? I have a clear title so will a CO court allow a lien to be placed after the homebuilder was paid in full?...Read More
I am a project manager. I was hired to find a gc, all subs and all supplies for basement remodeling.
Client decided to not pay anything above what I paid out and we lost 20,000.00 that we were really planning on when we got nixed from the job.
On a deadline of a baby due date we busted our tails to complete on time. The drywaller that was hired through another gc on the project (framer) , was paid in full and decided to go to the homeowner and say he was not. He ransomed the job for almost a month. So to be done in time,, we hired our team to go in a knock it out with us.. We bought all supplies and half way through he shows up. He talked bad about all of our work (that was not complete!!!) and the homeowner listened to him and not me. Not sure why. He told him that it all needed to come down, drywall and all. (He hung the drywall btw) HO heard he could finish faster and not only paid him AGAIN, but paid him 5000.00 to tear out everything we did. It only needed to be sanded and thats all he did.. He never removed anything!
HO said he'd take care of it, and we could go.
Mind blown.
I think my only option is to file a lein to be reimbersed. Is that correct?
I put in 3 months of work on this job. We did everything. We hired electrician, plumber, hvac, bathroom, carpet (which I canceled) framer, insulation and GC. I applied for and obtained permits, and met inspectors, with GC and was there for every thing that needed to be done. My team was there, my company was very much responsible for the successfully completed jobs.
We need to pay the people who werent paid in the process.
Also is there anyone who take payment out of what we win? We have lost everything.
Thank you...Read More
We sent an NOI and filed a Lien on a job in Colorado, without Prime Contractor info. We now have that information and are still well within our lien rights period. We have already previously asked the legal team what to do and they said the correct process is to release the lien and refile an "amended lien" as the original lien statement. We have released the lien and are about to order the NOI and then wait the 10 days to file the amended lien. My question is, can I order an NOI normally in levelset, or do I need to send an "amended" NOI the same as I have to send an amended lien?...Read More

A notice of intent to lien was sent to my residential property. I have no association with any of the contractors, businesses listed on said lien. Verizon Communications is listed as the property owner, while my address is listed as the property that is owned/public entity.
What is the best way to resolve this issue and have my residence removed from all association with this lien. I believe my address was noted in error. ...Read More
