Concerned, we just had a general contractor do a horrible job and he obtained the certificate of occupancy July the 3rd. 2021. Upon moving in we had water enter our home from the backyard damages estimated 4,500 to correct and unknow what the correction will be to excavate and correct lay of the backyard. We discovered plumber failed to exit the vent through the roof, it was left in the attic. (We have corrected this ourselves). He failed to ensure proper framing was done as we discovered upon moving in that a complete dormer was omitted. We knew a window below the dormer was but we didnt make a big deal due to it being already framed and would have caused a slow down on our build ( had we noticed the missing dormer at that time, we would have felt very differently about this error.) He also had to tear out 30 % of the driveway because he failed to confirm location of water lines from home. He claimed that he was covering the error when they redid the section. Lots more its embarrassing that we let him roll on but we didn't get concerned until the build was 80% done and we had our old home under contract. He is askinf US for an additional $28,000! When I add his invoices up the total shows we should have a balance of approximately $21,000.00 left in our build account!

KentuckyI am the A/R coordinator for an electrical contractor, can I officially sign the AIA documents & the lien waivers
KentuckyI'm a property owner in KY who had a building on a property that had been condemned. I was given a certain time period (days) by the county to have the building removed or there could be a fine for every day I was in violation. I spoke with the county agent who originated the notice who gave me extra time to have something done with the building before taking action. I set out to hire a contractor to tear down the building and remove debris to comply with the order. I found one contractor who did give a quote to do just that. I advised that I did not want to put that much into the property and wanted to shop around for a more reasonable quote. The quote was $4500. The contractor asked what I was wanting to get out of the property if I sold it, and I answered $11,000. He indicated that he might be interested in buying the property and if I would take less if he removed the building. I advised that I would, and that I would take off $4500 from the price if he removed the building for a reduced total of $6500. He advised he would take it at that and that he would get me a down payment within a month. I did not hear from the contractor after a month and some time later a friend sent me a photo showing the building being torn down. I assumed the contractor I spoke with was going ahead with his work and that I would receive a down payment soon. Later, I received a phone call from the contractor stating that he was finished with the work and that he had purchased a trailer to place on the property already, but realized there was no septic service to the property and that there was a propane tank discovered on the property that would have to be removed with the necessary environmental red tape and expenses. He advised due to all that he was no longer interested in the property. I advised that I had made no guarantee that there was septic service to the property and that there was gas and water, and that he could always install a septic system on the property and get an inspection to be compliant. He advised the he now would not take it even if I gave it to him. Then he brought up the quote of $4500 that he had made earlier and wanted paid, insisting that I had requested him to do the work. ( I had not). I advised that I had not contracted with him to do the work, only that I had agreed to sell him the property at a reduced price as there was a building that would need to be torn down to comply with the county order, and that I would still uphold my part of the agreement to sell him the property at a reduced price. He finally advised that he was not going to be hoo-dood on the deal and that he would file a lein on the property and that I would never be able to sell it. We ended the conversation and I received a letter from an attorney describing a mechanics lein for the $4500 for improvement to the property plus fees, etc. I have not received anything from the county pertaining to the lein. No paperwork such as an invoice or a work order was inlcluded with the lein nor was any such paperwork ever signed by me or ever submitted. Where do I stand with this property? What should I do from here? It has been several months since the letter was received from the attorney by me. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
KentuckyI have a customer that wants to enter into a payment agreement. If they default have we lost our lien rights?
KentuckyI was referred to an investor who owns a property and as a contractor I agreed to help them remodel the home inside and out to prepare it for rental. I was very busy and had part of my crew work on that project as I was working between there and another home. I was referred to this gentleman from a friend and felt more comfortable than I should concerning being reimbursed for materials and labor expenses that we had agreed upon. There was a person who supervised the project who had no knowledge of construction who kept leading me on that the owner was out of town and reimbursements would be made . I had spoke with the owner and he assured me that I would get paid once I submitted receipts and description of work. I am very detailed and keeping my books as well as notes on work completed along with pictures which were given to the owner periodically through project . The supervisor began causing trouble trying to hire my workers from underneath me and other issues with now I can see was try to scam me for the work I completed and material at purchase. There's no good way to put it but these people are very corrupt and it appears they never intended on paying me anything for material or labor. anyone who reads the communications between the order and I can see there was a divisive plan to con me out of my money . I wish there was something I could do to charge them with deception and Theft over and above the mechanics lien but I am satisfied if I get my money back from the job.
Thank you,
Michael Justice
KentuckyA mechanic's lien was filed against my property for $10,000 owed as balance for remodeling. The damage done by the remodeling company exceeds that cost by $1,100. It has been three years. The company is no longer in business. There has been no legal activity in approximately one year. The Clerk of Courts has recommended I file a Motion to Dismiss.
