Pennsylvania
I am a homewoner who contracted with a Stucco company for stucco remediation. What should have been a 1-2 week project has been going on for over 4 months. They say they'll show up, but don't - and no one calls with an update. I've approved payment for 2/3 of the agreed upon price, but there has been damage to my home over the 4 months due to the project delays that they still have to come back and fix - and I worry that they won't come back to finish up, so I've communicated that the remaining amount will be approved once all work is done (appropriately) and we've completed the final project walkthrough. They keep threatening a mechanics lien. If I'm the homeowner and still have outstanding work to finish up, does the contractor have a right to file? Do they have to first send me a NOI?
PennsylvaniaI am a sub-sub on a PA county project. I filed my lien/bond claim in time but the wrong GC was listed. The deadline has now passed and I am sending the lien/bond claim to the correct GC. Do I need to file an amended claim to show the correct GC?
PennsylvaniaWe are a small subcontractor. A GC we are working with says we're not performing, so they've been buying material and backcharging us. The contract says they have to give us the right to cure. Wouldn't that right extend to them buying materials and backcharging us. They also haven't been paying us.
PennsylvaniaI am working with an owner of a hotel who is refusing to provide a copy of the certificate of occupancy to a potential long-term contractor. Is there any reason not to provide the information?
PennsylvaniaI'm the contractor that provided services/materials at a residential property. The homeowner's lawyer is battling with insurance co. to collect funds in order to pay us. The lawyer sent me a general letter advising our lien will be protected and we will be paid when a payment is made to the homeowner from the insurance co. Is there a type of form I should get signed by all parties that protects us and guarantees our bill be paid as soon as the homeowner is given the funds? State is SC.
PennsylvaniaI filled a lien against my clients for failure to pay for material cost. This was since may 24th. Their account is still accruing late fees, how do I collect on all monies owed? when can I legally foreclose on their property?
PennsylvaniaFor one of our jobs, there are two documents "queued up" for us to send. One is a mechanics lien and the other is a lien/bond claim. What is the difference and should we file both?
PennsylvaniaWe stopped working due to non-payment and the contractor hired another sub.
PennsylvaniaSo the customer was made aware a Lien was being placed on his property. He only sent in a partial payment. Does the Lien for the entire amount still remain in place or does a new Lien with the outstanding balance have to be filed?
PennsylvaniaMy company is a small electrical subcontractor. We are running into some material procurement delays because our GC Customer has been slow to release payments.
According to our contract, the GC has to provide us with a formal notice to cure any issues, with 72 hours of time, and up to another 48 hours on a contingent and discretionary basis. No formal notice to cure was provided, and 3 days later the GC purchased all of the outstanding materials, said they would be backcharging us for the cost, presumably plus a 15% administrative fee.
This type of action wasn't stipulated in our contract documents, explicitly or otherwise. Now the GC wants us to essentially perform labor, at a loss. Is this legal? We should obviously contact a lawyer, but I'm looking to get a better feeling about the legality of these actions before doing so.
PennsylvaniaI am a siding and roofing subcontractor in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The builder-contractor is not paying me for work that we completed. We finished the work at the end of May, 2021. The homeowner says that they have paid the builder but the builder will not pay us. I need to file a lien. Do I file the lien on the homeowner's house/property or do I file the lien on the contractor's property? Also, the homeowner tells us that the builder signed a lien waiver.
PennsylvaniaI am a general contractor the customer and I have come to an impasse because of intricate details of painting and other small details. After being told we're not allowed back in I deducted what we will not be doing plus and requested my balance of 7k which should be 9200.
PennsylvaniaHello…..I currently own a house in Philadelphia that i had fully renovated.The contractor assigned to job was getting paid through draw schedules and misappropriated funds in which there was several things he didn’t do but was paid for.After several verbal disputes the contractor disappeared.I would like to know can I definitely sue the contractor because i reached out to several lawyers that told me they can’t take my case?!
PennsylvaniaI've had Levelset send a Notice of Intent to Lien and I just noticed that their certified mail was returned, but address is correct. I am assuming they are refusing to sign for mailing.
PennsylvaniaI was hired given a contract by a property management company and the owner approved the work to be done. He decided to have all work stop before it was complete and sold property. He is refusing to pay the labor charges associated with the remainder of the bill. Is it the property management companies responsibility to acquire the money and do what ever legal action needed? Or is in still my responsibility to do legal action?
