I filed a lien on a job. Now all of the sudden my contractor wants me to sign a lien waiver because the bonding agency, owner, general contractor, and material provider all are trying to get paid. My contractor sent over a lien release form. Do I legally have to sign and return this form without being paid first? My concern is that if I sign this the contractor will not provide the check owed. As he is delinquent on another invoice for another job. I am in another state working right now, so doing a person to person exchange is not possible. What are my options. Thank you, Daniel Krek...Read More

To whom it may concern, I filed a lien against a contractor for the non payment of one weeks worth of work. I received a call from the material provider last week. They are who hired the installer who contracted me for part of the install. Then later that day the contractor who hired me was emailing me asking for COI’s stating that is the reason why I had not been paid. So within 24hrs I sent over my COI’s. Now he has sent me a lien release form. It states that if I sign the waiver I will be paid. I have already file the lien, will signing this release negate my lien? Or do I not sign until the payment is made. Thank you, Daniel Krek...Read More

Hello Support, I hope this message finds you well. I had contracted a Painting(Garage & Laundry room and Garage Epoxy Flooring) to a local contractor in Florida (Brevard County). The total cost of the project was about $1850 dollars. The scope of the project outlined in the initial estimate was not followed precisely, but I choose to follow the contractor's professional advice. The issues that arise stem mainly from the epoxy part of the job, having several air pockets on the floor resulting from epoxy not adhering properly. After having a call with Sherwin Williams(Brand of Expoy used) agent, she advised that epoxy should not be poured onto fresh concrete or should be given weeks of drying time before doing so. The pouring of fresh concrete was not part of the scope of the project and it replaced 'repairing of cracks' and acid washing and scoffing the concrete. Anyway, the contractor dealt with all of my objects and the job became almost salvageable. The final aspect of adding the prescribed amount of clear coat (3) was not done in a timely fashion or as per the product specification required. Sherwin William's brand of epoxy clear coat requires additional coats to be added before 72 hours window. Here is the contractor took weeks to respond back to my message after I advised him that I'll get someone else to do finish or redo the job. He finally replied and hurried someone to come finish the job. I told him no one is touching the job unless the specification of Sherwin William is followed;re-scoff before adding clear coat since it was way beyond the application window. He then threatened a Lien on the property via Text. However, we came to an agreement that if he would take the risk of adding the clearcoat and everything turn out favorable after 72 hours he will be paid and so far the finish looks fine. Now before paying him, I need a legal instrument that would protect me from any future threats, and so i was looking at your conditional waiver. Is this the right legal instrument to use? Be advised I've already given him a 50% advance payment as well. Thanks Regards ...Read More

Here is the situation We are fully installed and currently in the PTO stage. The PTO application was submitted to the utility on 11/02 and is currently awaiting their approval. This does leave us with the chance that the utility could ask for a change to be made on site. We have not been fully paid yet. If the notes on the processing page are correct, we have only received $36.232 and are awaiting further payment of $53.098. The lien release affidavit does give the option to provide a bank account number for the final payment to be transferred to, if we are comfortable providing one....Read More

We supply materials to customers and jobsites. My customer has paid us $122,500 but didn't pay a couple of small invoices totaling $5,909.99. We want to give them a conditional progress payment release with the outstanding amount of $5,909.99 due. The form I populated shows Maker of check xxxxxxx Amount of check $5,909.99 Check Payable to xxxxxxxxx We are not swapping this release for the check at this time but want to give them the release so they can get their money, we are waiting their payment to be processed and mailed. Are we covered if we do not require this check as a swap for this document?...Read More
