Recently had a customer send this Lien Waiver to be signed and are withholding payment until signed. Please note that this is an ongoing job and since this waiver has been sent, more items have been delivered. As I read this, if I sign this I am waiving any right to file a lien even if the customer does not pay invoices that were billed after they sent this waiver. They failed to list invoice numbers or dates in this waiver. Should I refuse to sign this? "In consideration for the sum of $XXXX.XX and other good and valuable consideration, the undersigned does hereby fully waive, relinquish and release any and all claims, demands, suits or actions whether direct or indirect against (Customer's Name) and the Owner of the above-described Property, including, without limitation, any and all liens, mechanic's liens, or rights to mechanic's liens on or against the above-described property, building and premises, on account of or arising from any work, labor, services, goods, or materials heretofore furnished by the undersigned for said property, building and premises up to and including the date hereof and verifies that no portion of its claims or rights have been assigned to anyone.

I'm a customer who has sent final payment for a construction job on my house. The contractor says "his guy" never came through with it, but our check was deposited "for deposit only" to his company. He is now threatening to put a lien on our house. Is this something he can do? Do we need an attorney? or is he just scamming us to try to get us to pay him extra?...Read More

We are owed $212k from the GC. Some of the owners of the project are also owners in an upcoming project. We filed a lien but may be willing to settle for 10% off to get the upcoming project. Does negotiating hurt my ability to collect on the lien?...Read More

Our company supplies fabricated materials to job sites for others to install. Are there laws that protect material suppliers that incur costs prior to "ship date"? We generally have engineering costs, material costs, fabrication labor costs, etc... We have not prepared the preliminary paperwork through Levelset yet, as the dates pertain to "ship date" rather than "in-house labor" start date, or "material received" date, etc... We were awarded a project and we began the process of engineering and fabrication. We billed the customer for those costs and have not received payment. The project may now be cancelled. 1) Can we still submit preliminary paperwork and prepare for a lien even though materials have not shipped yet? 2) What other options do we potentially have?...Read More
