MassachusettsSubject: Massachusetts Bond Claim Overview: Preliminary Notice Deadlines
20 Days
None, unless furnishing specially fabricated materials. If so, notice must be delivered to the prime contractor within 20 days of receiving the order for the specially fabricated materials.
Question: What is the date for receiving the order for the specially fabricated materials? Is this the date on that face of the PO or the later date when both companies sign, and date said PO?
MassachusettsI FINISHED A ROOFING PROJECT AND THE HOMEOWNER WONT SIGN OFF
MassachusettsWe are homeowners who hired a company to frame a 3rd floor to a dry-box. The framing team made many mistakes in the framing that are not structurally sound to say nothing of the fact that designs were not built to plan and the company has failed to deliver a dry box for an unreasonable amount of time (over 3 weeks of leaking onto second floor) They are now demanding payment even though the work isn't finished and are threatening to put a lien on the house. What can we do?

MassachusettsI am currently working in Massachusetts
MassachusettsI'm a general contractor. We completed construction on 10/6/2021. The customer complained about issues and held payment until resolved. We have documented all resolutions and customer has still yet to pay the amount owed as of 3/21/2022. We are now wanting to file a lien for the remaining balance. We may have missed some of the deadlines because we were working on resolutions in good faith that the customer would pay us once resolved, but we would like to take measures to try and get paid and formally get the process of a lien going. are we out of luck or should we attempt to file? At the very least, we'd like the homeowner to see that we are serious by receiving the notices that we've filed because perhaps that will initiate a payment from them.

MassachusettsDeadbeat client has ignored Mechanics Lien, and 2 subsequent invoice updates including monthly fees accrued. We're apparently heading to Court. What sort of assistance might you furnish?
MassachusettsSo I filed a lean on a client with levelset I believe in January. Because I have not been paid, filing a lawsuit is rather costly. If I have an expired lean and I do not enforce the lean with a lawsuit within the 90 days And the client passes away the property gets turned over to the children, are they still required by law to pay the expired lien?
