I have a job in Allston, Ma we have delivered material to the job some of the material has been installed some material is just sitting on the job site and some of the material (Our Customer) has moved to his office for storing. The subcontractor (Our Customer) Contract has now been terminated with the General Contractor. I need to know what portion of the material do we have Lien Rights on.
MassachusettsHi. This is in regards to a landscaping company in MA. I'm trying to help in getting their finances in order. They have a client that has not paid anything on this past season's maintenance and lawn work. Balance is about $2500. By the look of it, a Mechanics Lien would not apply since it's mostly lawn cutting and cleanup. Is there anything else other than small claims court that the owner can do in hopes to getting paid what he is owed?
MassachusettsCan a design professional working for a contractor on a design build project file a bond claim if it has not been paid?
MassachusettsWe are sending a large amount of framing materials to one of our customers wall panel plant facilities. The wall panel facility and the actual project are both in Massachusetts. My customer is receiving the materials now for a project that is not going to start until May. The GC for this project has agreed to pay for stored materials. As the materials ship to the wall panel facility my customer will submit proof of delivery for whatever materials they have received with in that particular requisition time frame. Playing devils advocate, what happens if the GC doesn’t pay for the stored materials ? Can we record a lien for materials that are not physically on the job site ? We have a credit application, a sales contract, and all the invoices show the ship to address as the job site address. We have all the necessary paperwork to record a lien but in this particular example the materials are not physically on the job site as the ship to on the invoices would suggest. Furthermore, we don’t have any language in our sales contract specifically about the billing for stored materials process.
MassachusettsI am just trying to make sure I get all the correct lien waivers. The Massachusetts FAQ on this site did not specify for CMs and designers.
MassachusettsI have sent out notice of intent to lien for a few properties. We have not got paid from any of the customers. One job we were hired by the customer directly, the other jobs we were hired through the company to work on properties they were hired for. What is our next step this has been since November 1, 2022 of me going back and forth trying to get this resolved.
MassachusettsI am a contractor doung a addition project. I have not been paid for several invoices dating back to july 15 2022. I am owed a significant amount of money as I continued working in good faith. What can I do?
MassachusettsHello, I have a question about notice timing and what lien rights are when there are long (up to a year) lead times of when we get an order and when we actually provide materials. I'm confused as to deadlines of notice timing, etc. Thank you, Paula
MassachusettsHello,
A quick question. Can a subcontractor file a mechanics' lien (or enforce a mechanics' lien) against a property if the business isn't properly registered with the Secretary of State to do business in that jurisdiction? In this case, Massachusetts is our jurisdiction.
Thank you!
MassachusettsProperty is in New Hampshire
Would I file in NH or MA?
MassachusettsWE DID A JOB NOT KNOWING BY THE GC THAT IT WAS A PUBLIC PROJECT, WHAT DO I DO TO GET PAID THE PREVAILING WAGES. ?
MassachusettsWe apparently missed a deadline to file for mechanics lien are we still able to do so? Also how do we get the deadline dates ahead of time so we are aware of them.
MassachusettsTrying to file a mechanics lien.
MassachusettsI’m a homeowner in Massachusetts. A contractor took a small deposit from me in August for a siding job. The work was to be done in August and since then nothing has occurred. He has a slew of excuses. I no longer trust him or want to invest tons of Money with someone who runs his business so poorly. He claims he has ordered the materials. Am I legally required to stay with this contractor if he says he ordered materials? I have not signed a contract. No work has been done and I have only provided him a deposit.
MassachusettsI have completed a job on Feb 24, 2022. I have the balance on the invoice for over 8 months, the last payment on the balance was received 33 days ago, and then no payment. Few other payment were received during this 8 month period.
