If I had a verbal contract With people for a certain amount and the added work and asked us to do it can I put the lien for the full amount
MissouriI'm really hoping you can help me. The subcontractor who provided counter tops for a kitchen remodel is threatening a lien. Am I liable?
I paid the original contractor in full per our agreement, and we never signed a lien consent for the sub. I feel horrible that the sub wasn't fully paid but I don't feel I am liable since I paid the contractor in full.
Multiple attempts to contact the original contractor have gone unanswered. I even sent a certified letter but it was returned to me.
Thank you!

MissouriI hired a company to move my boat dock here in Missouri at the Lake of the Ozarks and build a new portion of the ramp to the dock. All they gave me for paper work was a simple bullet list of the things they would do. No contract or warranty info. The new H pier they built is uneven and crooked with the H pier posts just sitting in mud not concrete. There was no contract but I’ve read there is an implied warranty for one year? How do I get them to correct this? Also they said they would make final cuts on new posts and haul the old ramp and pier out of here but that wasn’t in the bullet list. They have not. No concrete contractors will touch it because they don’t want to mess up what the dock team has done. Any advice?
MissouriThe original owner of the property where the work was performed passed away in August. The title was in his girlfriend's name with no TOD. Where do we start to try and collect our monies due? Do we try and notify the girlfriend or do we try and attach it to the rest of the estate which is now in probate? The owner that passed away lived in Illinois but the work that was performed was on a property that is in the state of Missouri in the county of Spanish Lake?
MissouriFirst and foremost, it is important to outline the issue.
Yes, the plan set shows Both site lighting that is clearly in the original GMP and additional lighting “By Others”. Let’s discuss bullet point #5 first; Note: Owners claim they have email traffic from years ago that the GC were required to add lighting around the property, so the Owners claim this should be in the GC guarantee since the company knew.
Yes, absolutely is site lighting in the plan design, it is shown in landscaping set, electrical set, architectural set and Civil set. There are Ballard lights and exterior building lights clearly shown and incorporated in the electrical drawings. Therefor any exterior lighting discussion that was called out to be implemented, was installed per plan. ( response to bullet point #2, What lights are being worked on that were required and contemplated in original design requests from city)
In addition to the above mentioned exterior lighting, the plans show Pole lights “by others” and in this case the Local Power Company are clearly called out as the responsible party. There are no electrical layouts, details, power requirements, pedestal design, power supply, meter connection, etc. in the plan set that would suggest this was part of the GMP
MissouriWe are having an issue with a micromanaging Owner who is not wanting to pay us for a completed job. I am needing to put in an authorized change order to end any future work with them but they refuse to sign it. They are video recording me, measuring, calling the police, and counting up materials saying we owe them money for materials. We are a fixed rate contract and they agreed to pay the fixed amount but are saying we didn't buy the materials"in good faith" even though we did. They are trying to nickel and dime us for everything and our current contract States if they breach the contract then the owner is liable for any of our legal obligations so now they are trying to have me breach the contract so they can sue us Without them bei g held liable for our legal obligations. How can we go about this so they are held liable?
MissouriHome owner disputed down payment causing my account to go negative. We signed a contract on the 19th he disputed and breached contract the day we where to start on the 24th.
Down payment shad already been used to buy materials.
MissouriMy husband is doing remodeling jobs for a property here in Missouri for this real estate agent. The contract stated that payments will be done everyweek and based on the bid's price. The person who hired him to do the job kept giving him excuses as to why he can't pay yet. It's been three weeks and the agent never ran out of excuses. The contract did not state about lien. But will I be able to file a mechanic's lien for this property? Until how long should I wait to give him a grace period to pay me?
MissouriWe currently have a joint check agreement on a project we are doing. Once the project is done and we are ready to invoice, what is the procedure for that? We are the material supplier and the agreement is with the subcontractor and GC.
MissouriHi
I have recently have done a clean-out job on a property here in Kansas city Missouri but i am a individual not a business owner and i am wondering what kind of lien i can place on the property i have done work at because the person is refusing to pay me what they owe.
MissouriHello, we are currently working on a construction project for some very difficult homeowners. There are substance abuse issues that are making communication a nightmare. We are preparing an intent to lien and would like to know is there a specific form that we should send to our subcontractors to let them know that this is our next step ?
MissouriMy company sent out an intent to lien (public) on a project. This particular letter states we will put a claim on the bond in 10 days from the letter being received, which was about two weeks ago. However, we actually have over 2 months to file before the lien is due. Our customer was upset by receiving this document, claiming his customer has not paid him, which he is supposed to be paying us with. They would like some kind of a retraction letter to be done, but I want to find out of sending a retraction letter would have any impact on our actual ability to put in a bond claim if not paid?
MissouriWe are the contractor on a job in MO. We hire the SUB'S. Some Sub's submit an invoice for their labor including material, so I was asked to collect a MATERIAL LIEN WAIVER signed by the Material Supplier showing that the material we are paying the sub directly for has actually been paid to the supplier. Do you have a generic MATERIAL LIEN WAIVER form available on your site? Thank you!
