Hello
We are researching information about Materialman’s Lien for project in Pennsylvania. I found this article about it, but PA state is not specified.
https://www.levelset.com/blog/materialmans-lien-overview-for-suppliers/
We are materials supplier, and we fabricate windows specifically for each project. Client can’t accept windows at the moment, and we are storing them in a warehouse since June 2022.
We would like to clarify regarding Lien option on specifically fabricated materials, what are the due dates and documents we would need to submit in case client will not accept our product.
Thank you!
PennsylvaniaI am a contractor who was engaged in a renovation project, Due to circumstances I was not able to be on premises daily. The customer was aware of this. She had let me go in December even after informing her that we would be there to complete the job. She had even mentioned due to the fact that she got another contractor to complete some of the tasks, she offered alternative tasks.
She did give us a deposit, she did supply most of the materials when needed, however there were materials needed to complete tasks that were not present.
We had offered to giver back more than half of the deposit, she never allowed me the opportunity to present the amount before she filed in small claims court.
She is also trying to triple the amount to be paid to her. What am I to do? Do you have any insight.
PennsylvaniaWe asked Levelset to do a lien and now the amount is changed. What can be done at this time?
PennsylvaniaWe have had a piling rig on rent to a customer and they are moving the equipment from Houston, TX to Green Bay, WI. So it is an ongoing rental.
PennsylvaniaWe have three partners for our business, a Woman, A young African American and a Veteran. We would like guidance on how to make this business work to bid on the contracts that require one or more of these certifications.
Thank you,

Pennsylvaniatwo questions:
1. If a property is owned by more than one owner, but the construction contract was entered into by only one owner who owns only a minority fractional share of the property as a tenant in common, without the joinder or approval of the other owners, may I place a lien against the whole property or only the fractional share of the one contracting owner?
2. If I serve a non-contracting owner of the property with notice of my lien, but do not serve the contracting owner, is that adequate service of notice of the lien?
PennsylvaniaI had a customer, we did a bathroom renovation. The job has been completed and been 40 days. Now customer refuse to pay. What should I do? She paid 90% of the money and now refusing to pay because she said she never signed the contract.
PennsylvaniaI put a floor in and a deck on for a customer and he won't pay the bill. The problem i see is we had no contract. I have some texts back and forth but not many details of the project. Is there anything I can do.
PennsylvaniaI am a general contractor in Bedford County Pa. I need to file a mechanics lien against a homeowner that has refused to pay the final invoice of $46,791.00 . Can I place the lien against a property that the owner currently has up for sale or does it have to be on the property that the work was done to?
PennsylvaniaCustomer promised to pay and just decided not to due to some punch list items that were progress, some of the subs alerted me that wasnt going to pay
PennsylvaniaI loaned the husband money to purchase a family truck. He was supposed to start making payments to me never did. Now I have a small claims suit. Found out the wife has now placed the truck in her name. Also she has removed him from the bank accounts. Should I now add her as a defendant???
PennsylvaniaOur company has a contract with a homeowner is Pennsylvania and we ordered custom materials for her project. She placed a 10% deposit down upon signing the contract and we ordered the materials. Months later she now wants to cancel the project and forfeit her deposit. Our custom materials and expenses exceed the deposit and we would like to place a lien on the property. I know we can do this for custom materials for a project in other states (without it being installed on the property), in Pennsylvania are we able to place a lien for custom materials?
PennsylvaniaI just filed a mechanics lien through levelset and want to know what my next steps should be. This is my first time doing any of this and also my first time having a client do anything of this sort.
PennsylvaniaFilled intent to lien on June 22, lien filed on July 14. The recipients want to throw it out because it is within the 30 days
PennsylvaniaGreetings,
On a small construction project, whose scope of work was demolition, a piece of equipment was removed, which apparently shouldn't have been.
We are a subcontractor on the project, and the GC stated that our organization is finanicially responsible for the cost of the piece of equipment. It could be argued that we weren't informed NOT to remove said item, but that is besides the point.
When we requested payment, the GC stated that the project Owner would "let the cost of the controller (piece of equipment" go away," but instead wants a whole new system of equipment installed.
The GC then said the cost for this whole new system of equipment, rather than just one piece of destroyed equipment, exceeds our small contract value. The GC then asked us to revise the original contract value because we will not need to return to finish the project until later this summer.
Long story short, are we responsible for eating the cost of a whole new system? And also, it seems as if the GC is trying to get out of paying us anything (they've paid nothing to date), by then asking us to revise the original contract sum.
I would appreciate any insight, and I apologize for the vagueness of my question; I've tried to use only generalities for the purposes of anonymity.
