We are a broker, project manager and/or intermediary that manages projects that do not require permits such as repairs, painting, etc. We connect clients with licensed contractors. We earn a fee and/or commission in return for services rendered in matching clients and licensed contractors.

We are a fuel company that supplies fuel to businesses (for generators, etc), contractors for machinery while on the job, floating vessels that come into local marinas. We want to start filing NTOs but we are unsure of how to file against floating vessels, or if its even possible. Also, if the construction companies are doing new construction, who would get the NTO if there is no property owner yet? Also, some companies we supply, we are only fueling their on site fuel tanks so it is a mobile customer of sorts. Can you help us figure this out so we can get started protecting our payment?...Read More

On July 2020 we entered into a Contract with a General Contractor : on the Project Silver Hills at Fort Myers. to build a Swimming pool on that property.
We conclude our project successfully,
on 04/06/2022 after having notice of the termination and seeing slow payment we sent an Intent to lien to the GC and the Owner since we were demanding our retainage and other small invoice for the total amount of $15K.
