We are a Computer Repair business in Swainsboro, GA. If a customer fails to collect their computer and pay costs, do we need to go through the Georgia Mechanics Lien procedures before disposing of the PC to recover our costs, or is there a simpler more streamlined process?
GeorgiaIf the City is asking for a GC to pick to issue and pick up the Building Permit, and the contractor is an entity made up of a LLC Company between two entities, one a Metal Cladding Sub and the other being a "Qualifying Agent GC", is this type arrangement really classified as a GC Entity that can work on exterior improvements at ten levels in a HR Building if neither has HR Experience?
GeorgiaWe've sold materials to builders and/or renovation companies who have failed to pay. We don't know where the materials were ultimately used. Do we have any lien rights when the company fails to pay us? If not, is our only other recourse taking them to court? Thank you!
GeorgiaI am a homeowner. I was approached by a roofing company representative on April 2, 2023, to look into (inspect) whether I had enough damage to my shingles to file a claim with my insurance company. Unfortunately, I signed a paper that I was told was just to give the roofing company permission to inspect my roof and start a claim, if indeed there was enough damage. I realize now I should have read the paper completely through first. I wasn’t given a copy of the agreement until I asked for it specifically on April 20. They did inspect the roof and we started a claim. Once our insurance company inspected the damage, they authorized repair only, with a total payout (after our deductible) of $108. The rep from the roofing company then wanted to video document the damage to try to get our insurance to cover the entire roof being replaced. (The rep has continued to push for this, seeming to be more interested in getting a full roof replacement approved than what we want.) When I mentioned that we were thinking of contacting another roofing company for comparison, the rep stated that if we went with another company, the agreement I had signed entitled his company to 20% of the insurance payout. According to the signed agreement, it expires 1 year from the date it was signed. We offered him the entire $108 approved as the claim payout in return for a statement that his company waived any further money, should we go with another company to replace our roof. He refused this. We asked to speak with his supervisor and were given what appears to be a dead number. We were told by the rep that his company is so busy right now replacing other roofs that we were better off not doing anything about it, as his company wouldn’t do much to try to collect this, since we don’t want to use his company. I’m concerned that the company will try to come after us for 20% of the value of the roof if we decide to replace it through another company, regardless of any possible insurance payout. At this time everything is still in limbo. We haven’t finalized the claim, nor have we authorized any further work. Do I need to worry about being sued? Should I retain a lawyer to protect myself?
Georgiathis customer paid his invoice. what is the next step to remove the lien. ?
GeorgiaMy sub started a project and halfway through, informed me that he was leaving Georgia. I immediately informed client and advised that I had other contractors that would finish project but she refused. Now attempting to take me to court but I feel that she breached contract because I was not allowed to finish with another contractor. He was working 3 jobs and the other 2 allowed me to send another contractor to finish and both has referred me for other projects.

GeorgiaWe are a Florida metal fabrication company working in Georgia for a general contractor. We have found Georgia law that states that subcontractors in traditional specialty trades are exempt from having to hold a contractor's license. What we don't know is if out-of-state subs need a Georgia business license. Thank you for your help.
GeorgiaHow do I file the notarized lien release to clear the lien?
GeorgiaI sent in a signed interim lien waiver in February with the pay app. Since it's been over 60 days does that negate my lien rights?
GeorgiaIm a subcontractor on a commercial construction project and finished my work but havnt been paid in over 2 months. There were no issues with my work or my pay app and the GC and project manager are not returning my calls. I didnt file a preliminary notice but do have a contract with the GC with 30day payment terms.

GeorgiaOur investor group has a UCC Financing Statement, Security Agreement, Bill of Sale and Promissory Note signed by all parties and by notary Shannan Collier Stalvey and recorded with Fayette County Georgia Sheila Studdard Clerk, filed on April 1, 2019. The debtor company holding the purchase and sale agreement with equity around $400,000.00 is in default and likely will be purchased . The debtor company has a Commercial Purchase and Sale Agreement into which the investor group's funds were provided to secure the contract to acquire property. The total investment is $165,000, less 7 months of payments. Others are slapping mechanics liens on the property valued around $1,000.000.00. Can our group lien the property to recover the investment? Is this something you can help us do? Please advise. A closing is scheduled for 3/27/20. Thank you.
