As a homeowner, can I request a final waiver of lien from my GC before I make final payment? I know electrician, flooring, painter were all subs on the job. Also his workers were all 1099. I want to make sure I don't have any issues once he is done. There isn't anything in our contract about waivers but I just learned about them. I know he owes his workers money too.
PennsylvaniaPA requires a "Date Labor or Materials Last Delivered". The repair work was completed in 2/2021 but we still have the customer's contents in our warehouse. The final step of the mitigation project is to return contents, to be delivered upon final payment of repairs. Technically, we see this as an active job. Would this count as a lien we can file? If not, what other options do we have.

PennsylvaniaI was a 1099 employee of a contractor on a residential project in PA.
There are still bonus payouts owed to me from the contractor (former employer) that I don't feel confident that I will see.
The balance of the project's payments are what is roughly owed to me.
Can I inform the client to request a final waiver of lien?

PennsylvaniaHow do I remove a lien after getting paid?
PennsylvaniaHello,
I am trying to find some help for my friend. A restoration company put a lien on her house. She had a house fire and they came in and were supposed to give her an estimate and let her know how much it was going to cost. They did not do that. The restoration company started working and did not do a good job and was fired. Her dad took over and did all the repairs/renovations and/or got contractors for the home to be habitable. Now she gets a lien put on her house for $32,000. Do you have any advice? Should we handle it ourselves or get a lawyer?
PennsylvaniaI'm a painting sub-contractor that was painting a new house for a building contractor. The contractor didn't pay a balance of $13,000 due. I used the steps Levelset defined to file for a lien on the property. After a hearing, the court sided for the property owner and the lien was terminated. Now I get a Civil Action Hearing Notice...$12,000.00 The homeowners complaint is "Defendant engaged in the wrongful use of civil proceedings in violation of 42 P. C.S.A. section 8351 by pursuing a Mechanic's Lien Claim against them in a grossly negligent manner and/or without probable cause."
PennsylvaniaHOW LONG SHOULD BLUEPRINTS BE KEPT FOR A PRIVATE CONSTRUCTION COMPANY
PennsylvaniaDo magistrate hearings/appeals extend the 6 month deadline to file a mechanics lien in PA? A client wants to file one, but did not file it because he was before a magistrate to recover payment and then had to pursue an appeal. Do these court proceedings extend the 6 month deadline to file the lien?
PennsylvaniaThis is my first time and I am having trouble filling out Section A Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, Court of Common Pleas, Civil Cover Sheet for a mechanic's lien. It wants me to check a box for Commencement of Action but I am unfamiliar with the selection of choices, their terms and how they fit my situation.
the Commencement of Action selections include: -complaint -writ of summons -petitions -transfer from another jurisdiction -declaration of taking
Here is my situation...I am filing the mechanics lien to recover money (~1700) owed to my company by a client after a job was stopped per the client's request. The cost of labor is what is being requested. What is my commencement of action, given the previously stated options?
Other questions I need to answer from section A include:
1. are money damages requested? yes or no. I assume yes because I didn't get paid and am looking to recover that, hence the reason of the lien. Is that what this is looking for?
2. dollar amount requested (check 1) * within arbitration limits OR * outside arbitration limits
-please advise
now, the certificate of compliance... Ive signed and written my name, and I the same person to submit it as well? I'm confused as levelset is submitting it seems, or am I wrong? It reads:
submitted by: ______________
Signature: _________________
Name:__________
Attorney No. (if applicable): ________________________
Notice of filing a claim, same issue, it reads:
"Please be Advised that on the following date (which is left blank), there was filed in the copurt of common pleas, etc...a mechanics lien claim, a true and correct copy etc" Do I fill it in with the date I sign? or doers levelset fill it in when they truly submit it?
LAST ONE...
MECHANICS LIEN CLAIM BY A CONTRACTOR & NOTICE OF FILING AS CLAIM
beside the Property Owner on both there is a line for a number. indicated by: NO. _____________________________
should I be filing that in? Should I know that information? Do I know that information?
Thanks in advance for the help. I'm a little green :-)

PennsylvaniaHello, Here is a series of events.
Hired first contractor (Will) to rehab a house.
First contractor did not finish job, payment plan with us, he could not finish the job and still owes us roughly 16,000.
First contractor hired sub-contractor (Ron) to do the HVAC, however, he did not pay the sub contractor.
We paid the first GC 12,000 to pay for the HVAC but never gave him (RON) the money.
We found the sub-contractor and decided he could be the general contractor to finish the job.
However, he was not working to our standards and was let go.
Now, he wants 6000 grand for the equipment, HVAC.
Am i Liable as an owner of the house to pay the 6000 grand back for the materials bought with the first GC?
