We contracted with a fence builder to build our fence. We sent them $3992. with the balance due upon completion. It was supposed to be started the middle of June. I have called, emailed and went by their office. No one there, doors locked. What steps do I take to get our deposit back. This is Superior Fence in Cumming, GA.
Thankyou

60 days ago, we drew for 50% retention on a project that was closer to 80% done. They paid the material and labor draw but refused the retention draw saying they'd pay it all at the end. The contract is now 100% complete with no complaints.
Our contract does state they have 60 days for final retention. Do we not have the right to 50% upon 50% completion. Do they have the right to hold it?...Read More
In order to get paid, contractor is requiring a release of lien, but do not want them to record it until we get paid so I want to put "draft" on it....Read More
On the Georgia lien waivers, there is language that says "WHEN YOU EXECUTE AND SUBMIT THIS DOCUMENT, YOU SHALL BE CONCLUSIVELY DEEMED TO HAVE BEEN PAID IN FULL THE AMOUNT STATED ABOVE, EVEN IF YOU HAVE NOT ACTUALLY RECEIVED SUCH PAYMENT, 60 DAYS AFTER THE DATE STATED ABOVE UNLESS YOU FILE EITHER AN AFFIDAVIT OF NONPAYMENT OR A CLAIM OF LIEN PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION OF SUCH 60 DAY PERIOD." If we signed Interim Waivers and Release Upon Payment and we aren't paid, does that mean we need to file a lien for each progress waiver? What if the 60 days expire but my last furnishing date was less than 90 days ago so I'm still within my lien rights timeline?...Read More
Over the Fall and Winter of 2017, personnel from our company has been to the customer's house to (1) meet Allstate adjusters to negotiate a more lucrative claim settlement for the insured (2) met with different subcontractors to establish an accurate scope of work for the multiple trades within the claim (3) accompanied a carpentry subcontractor at the property to remove a shutter from the house so they could bring and keep it in their shop for precise measurements. We performed all those functions at the customer's house in addition to a myriad of communication with Allstate's claims department from our office to assure the customer received maximum benefits. After the customer received all the benefits from our efforts, she is now not cooperating with us and has shut down all communication. We would like to place a lien on the house. The only physical work we've done to the house thus far is climb onto the roof with the adjuster on multiple occasions and accompany a subcontractor to remove a shutter from the house and take away. Could we legally put a lien on the house?...Read More
i'm the electrician
my work was damaged by another sub, i had to go back and re-do my work underneath a parking deck- aprox. $15,000
Before going forward i sent an email to the GC explaining the situation , and asked him to proceed, he said "yes just send me the rates"
Now he is unwilling to pay until the sub who damaged me accepts the damages (which they probably wont)
is this lienable?...Read More
