A real estate agent put us in touch with the homeowner. We were hired by the homeowner. She signed agreed via email to the estimate on 01/11/2022. We invoiced her on 01/27/2022. Her house is listed for sale. She has said many times she will pay and she does not. She then gave us a check and asked us to hold it (about 7 days) until Feb 14th for deposit. She placed the incorrect year on the check and the bank would not accept it. We then had to get another check. We deposited that check as she asked on Feb 14th. The chek was returned for insufficient funds. She has not paid us one cent for the work that she says is an amazing job. She is now saying she will pay is on March 1st. I need to make sure we get paid. We are a small family-owned business. Can I add any extra expenses fighting for our money to the 9,500.00 she owes us? Such as filing a lien, hiring an attorney if needed, and even hiring a debt collector? I would really like to go after her for worthless check writing or fraud if that is possible. We have many text messages from her, and her real estate agent. I do not believe she has any intention to pay us. She has used our kindness as a weakness. ...Read More

Hi there, I understand that my following question may be outside your scope of business. But, I'm new to the Construction business, but I am a life long entrepreneur with very sound business background. I've recently started a construction company and initially began doing handyman type work, but due to partner's background, we have done several projects that are more General Construction contracting based. In fact, we've done several projects for a publicly traded Company and they are prepared to provide us with more work, but we will absolutely need to pull permits because the upcoming work is structural. Thank you, Roberto ...Read More

I am an individual, not a contractor. I was in the process of purchasing a house from a neighbor. The house is elevated near the water. The foundation poles were rotted and the house was sagging. We had a hurrican pending and the owner and I both were concerened about the stability of the house. In the week before the storm came in I agreed to repair and replace the support post and stabilize the house at a cost of $18,000. The house owner agreed to verbally to pay me back in the event that the sale did not go through. He also agreed to email me a simple document to that effect. I paid to have the house repaired but the man did not send the document confirming the agreement. The sale of the house did not go through and now the owner says that he is not going to reimburse me. How can I file a lien on this property? ...Read More
