We are a subcontractor we filed a lien on 7/22/22. I would like to know what is considered the final day you can file a lien is it the last day you performed work on the project? Does it matter if it is on site or offsite? Does that include warranty work? What if you had to go out and fix something would that be the final date or is it once the final inspection is signed off on?
Also, can I file a lien for escalation and extended General Conditions? ...Read More

We over saw a major project after the Texas freeze after one of our clients asked us to help a friend. Things were bad in Texas from the freeze, then the labor and material shortages. Additionally, the closest hotel that had openings was two hours away. Plus, they needed there various pets to be taken care of..So, they had a motorhome so we suggested they allow us to rent it from them, and save the drive and other expenses. It would also, be protected under our 2mil insurance policy. We compared rental rates which were over $595/day. We billed for $449/day. The insurance company wants supporting doc's. Can the agreement from the owners to us serve to fill the bill?...Read More

We have a homeowner who has not paid the last payment for her roof installation. We want to file a lien, but the scout researcher with Levelset, found that the actual physical address of the home is different from the address provided by the homeowner and their insurance company. The researcher, also, found that the mailing address is the address we were given. The home sits on a curve where one street name turns into the other. Since, we have to use the actual physical address on the lien, will it do us any good to file if the contract has a different address?...Read More

Basically, we had a GC hire small subs, I can't keep track of. In short, we don't have all the lien waivers from the subs. The GC says some of the guys are small (residential) and he is having trouble tracking them down. He (GC) is now threatening to file a lien, even though he doesn't have the conditional lien waivers from the subs...so I technically don't have to pay him. BUT, we want to get this over with, so we are thinking about just getting the FINAL unconditional waiver from the GC, (in which he will have to attest to having paid or to pay the rest of the subs). My question is what does that FINAL waiver from the GC do for me if he lies and doesn't pay one of his subs??? ...Read More
We finish a job since July of 2022 and finally received 1/2 of the retainage. I went to release partial retainage and found out that we had place a Bond Claim and not a Lien on the property. I have been told that they can not release partial on the bond claim, so my question is, can we release the Bond Claim and place a lien on the property. I will be leaving the office for doctors appointment, but if you can please call me on Monday to discuss what will be the best way to handle this.
Thank you...Read More
We have a customer who decided not to pay the final balance owed and then charged back the deposit amount. In our Terms and conditions, it states: " A late payment assessment of 10% will be added every 30 days for unpaid invoices. After 90 days an intent to lien procedure will begin." In the Intent to Lien, should we add that 10% late payment fee or should we wait until should we wait for the Mechanics Lien to add that fee?...Read More
