I got hired to repair 1600LnFt of chain link for Saia. My original bid was for about $18,000, contractor who hired me asked what could we do to lower it, I told them if they provided dumpsters and if I did t have to take anything with me I could make a better deal, we agreed on about $14,000. Before starting on the job we asked for $6,000 as a deposit, the rest was to be paid when job was completed m. We were just going to cut down trees but not dispose of them since that’s what we agreed to. At the very end they added one more tree he said it was a change order and that I should just add it to my invoice, they added wheels to the gate, again a change order. When we were done they kept wanting everything perfect I did everything they asked. When it was time for me to get the rest of the money they kept saying I needed to have everything cleaned up. Even tho that’s not what we agreed to, I ended up having to take and dispose of debris so I could get paid. Needless to say I’m still waiting to get paid the remaining balance. We started the project on 11/03 and we were done on 11/14 but I had to go another week since they kept wanting everything a certain way even tho they didn’t want to pay the original price because it was just a “repair” last time I was at the job site was 11/18 and I have not gotten paid for the remaining balance, they keep saying they are going to pay this day or the next day or the morning and I don’t see any payment. I’m tired of asking...Read More

I bought a car off a mechanic with a notarized bill of sale but when I registered it I found out the mechanic sent the certified letter to the person who dropped it off. Not the registered owner. Now I can't get the title or proper registration. I did get it registered but when it went to Frankfort I guess the registration got cancelled. I need to know what I can do to get proper registration and the title....Read More

I am building a new construction home. The concrete contractor poured concrete. It is not level, cracking and popping horribly. We have offered to pay 50% to cover his materials which is generous due to the amount of repairs that are needed. The contractor filed a lien 2 weeks after the work was completed and issues were discussed. He wants $1000 more than we are offering. He had admitted guilt in writing and refuses to release the lien unless we pay him that. The original amount is $8700. He wants $5700. We offered $4700. What are our options? ...Read More

I am a subcontractor. The project we are working on has run several months past the original completion date, for various reasons, none of which have anything to do with our company. The GC keeps giving me the hours are hours speech and not recognizing I have additional costs related to these project delays. Instead of 20 guys working we only have 5, but have other costs involved. Including: Multiple rental equipment, fuel, overhead and housing. What notice do I need to send to properly notify the GC of the increased project costs? There is nothing stated in the contract agreement for additional costs requests....Read More

KentuckyPreliminary Notice
Hello - your summary of Kentucky retainage law seems to indicate that there is no escrow requirement. KRS 371.160 seems (for larger projects) to indicate otherwise. Is KRS 371.160 inapplicable? If so, why? Thank you....Read More

KentuckyRetainage
I’m a project manager who’s company GCed a multi million dollar residential project for a cousin. Originally my brother started the project with his own company. He didn’t submit a bid to receive a deposit, and spent 45k of his own money before submitting an invoice (which I did for him). Both parties wanted me apart of the multi-million dollar project so I formed an LLC with my brother. The customer wanted to do time and material so I told them both I need 2500 a week, 22% for our company payroll and 15% from any subcontractors he preferred working under our license. We end up with a verbal agreement( big regret) for him to pay my company 15% of the cost as he sales each building. The sum was projected sales was around six million dollars. My business partner (brother) and myself would be paid 1500 a week a piece as an advance. 5-6 months into the project the PoS customer decided he’s not selling the property. I reminded him that since he’s not selling and he wants to turn his project into a Time and Materials job what the cost will be and that I needed receipts from all subs working under our license. I asked one of the foremen from one of the subcontractors, that I developed a relationship with, to forward me one of their approved bids only to be told, a few days later, that the customer didn’t want me to have that information. I confronted my relative with this information only to be hit with another lie saying he didn’t say that and he would forward me what I needed. I left a short time later after we couldn’t reach an agreement after he refused to forward receipts. I have all the information related to what I’m owed in personal wages and 22% from our company but since he never turned over a receipt/ approved bid how do I go about putting a dollar amount of what I’m owed? ...Read More
