I am a handyman/unlicensed contractor, and this job is based off a quote and verbal agreement. A then "good friend" licensed contractor of mine encouraged me to take a large residential concrete job that had contacted him, to get me working when business was slow for me. He was going to "teach" me to do large patios. The day of the concrete pour, he ran the show, but the quality of the job ended up very bad and he left. Following that, the client would not let me attempt to resurface it to bring it to acceptable quality, or later, would not let me return to demo and remove the concrete. They refused my dumpster delivery, and the day of demo, called me and told me never to come to their house again. Now, 6 weeks after, they have sent me a demand of payment letter, demanding their deposit back, and for me to pay the cost of them hiring another contractor to demo the concrete and remove it. I would like to know what tights they have in this matter, because they did not allow me to try to bring the job up to an acceptable level of workmanship, or allow me to demo and remove at my expense. Additionally, they have received a portion of the promised service which should be acceptable (excavation of dirt and grass, leveling, compacting) which was not separately priced, and even if I were to refund the deposit I believe I should be compensated partially for.
IdahoA lien was filed on our house by a sub contractor for no payment by the contractor, who has abandoned the job. An incorrect date was used, 120 days instead of 90 days. What are the consequences for the sub?
IdahoI am a residential painting contractor in Idaho. I understand there is no prelim requirement for me as a sub contractor on residential remodel projects, though the GC is required to submit one to the homeowner himself. If the GC failed to provide his required notice, do I lose my lien rights as a sub?
And if not, are there any requirements for me to proceed on my own without the GC?
IdahoSome of the contracts outline that we do not invoice until the entire project is complete. Most of our work is finished very early in the project with the exception of final testing near the end. I thought that in IA the lien deadline is calculated based off the final full day of work (8 hours). Because the project often is not finished for months my concern is that if the day we go back for testing doesn't count as the final day of work we are invoicing after the lien deadline has past.
Is a full 8 hours required to be counted as the final day or would a partial day of work like a few hours of final testing count?
IdahoHello I work for a construction company and we work as a subcotractor for anther larger company sometimes and I was wondering how long the cotractor can withhold payment from us. The longest they have gone without paying has been 2 years and they still have not paid for that job.
IdahoIn Idaho a electrical contractor gave me a verbal bid of 2800. He tried to bill me for twice as much and still had not completed the job. Then I had to hire someone else to finish it because he was demanding I pay another 2000 before he finished and discovered he did it wrong ...he had electrical plan and there shouldn’t have been any ?’s. Have proof of emails before work etc. He held up progress of the job and lost me a lot of money overall. He never said there was going to be a change order in cost.
Walls closed and painted and he then he was exposed that he did it wrong. Now he’s putting a lien on my house after I’ve already paid him 3/4 of the project fees in progress payments. I have to pay at least 2500 to get it done to code. What do I do?
IdahoI have a perfected lien, but it was not paid at time of closing. Do i need to file additional documentation (have something recorded?) to add the new property owner to my lien or can I foreclose with the lien as is?
IdahoWe have documentation that everything but $13,000 was paid for up until the time we fired him.
We have an invoice from him stating that this was their final bill at the time of the firing.
This was April 1st, on June 17th he filed a lien for $253,000 with no documentation of what for.
IdahoI am the owner of a development of condos. We are one the first building of 5 buildings. We hired a contractor (RUSTIC) that was in over his head, wasn't paying attention to quality, and was submitting bad invoices (we paid him for items we never got like carpet, hot water heaters, etc and numerous invoices were doctored or just bogus). We fired him. Rustic submitted a final invoice for approx $17,000. We hired an attorney for a possible lawsuit for shoddy work we had to re-do and his bogus charges. After Rustic received a letter stating we wanted approx $150,000 returned for all of above, Rustic said they were checking their accounting to make sure there were not more charges. They then filed a bogus lien for $253,000. Our legal options are to file suit or turn him into the Attorney General of Idaho. We have been advised both are options as we have alot of proof for the contractors actions. BUT, we need to sell the condos, thus have the lien taken off.
What kind of bond and approx cost? I have noticed most online are someone reasonable, but someone noted 1.5 x lien amount which seems crazy.
IdahoI'm a lower tier Subcontractor under another subcontract and i feel like i got a contract with not enough money in it. I just started the job and I'm 90,000.00 into the project. All i have in my contract is Labor and i dont get enough money to cover my labor. I'm scared workers are going to start leaving the job and i get sued due to me not being able to pay. I reached out to Subcontractor and they dont want to help. I feel like i got taken advantage of due to my size company. This project broke me and dont know what to do. What can i do?
IdahoWe are an equipment supplier providing rental equipment for a client that is gold mining in ID. They are using it as support equipment at the mine on the surface, to help support the underground mining operations at the site, moving material, equipment, structures, moving material into the mill and around other desired locations on the surface. Do we have lien rights?
IdahoWe have a CAT 548 Log Loader machine on a logging project in Idaho currently out on a rent to own option plan. Is this lienable?
IdahoI am a subcontractor on a large residential job. The owner of the property and the general contractor had a significant falling out and are now in a legal battle. The job was only about 3/4 done and I have still not been paid on about $25k that is owed for work done so I filed a lien. The owner is now threatening to sue all the subcontractors. I am confident my work was good and I passed all of my inspections. I am sure the owner is simply trying to get out of paying, but should I retain an attorney to protect myself just in case?
IdahoWe are supplying two generators to a mining company in Challis, Idaho and would like to understand if a mechanics lien is an option.
IdahoAre there general guidelines for when you can and cannot file a mechanics lien on supplied equipment when it is located on a Mining property? Are these guidelines state specific?
