Wisconsin
We received an Intent to File Claim of Lien. I don't understand how this is possible. The contractor was hired by our Contractor. We have no contact with the contractor that has not been paid. It is between those two parties.
WisconsinWe signed the agreement with the homeowner to do the job on 09/08/2018. The work did not start until 05/23/2019 and we finished 6/3/19. We send a Notice of Intent to File A Lien, and now we want to File a Lien, as still did not received the payment. We did not sent the Notice of Lien Rights, as we were not aware we have to. We are General contractor, and we already paid all subcontractors and the supplier for material used for this job. This is a residential, one family building.
Can we still file for a Lien? Is the Lien enforceable?
WisconsinI walked off the job with only 50% of the project complete. The contract reads 50% down at start (which I've received) and 50% down upon completion.
1. Do I have a right to file a mechanic's lien for the rest? I assume not since I haven't finished the project :O.
2. What recourse does my client have? The sent me an email saying I needed to contact them by tomorrow to try to resolve this and if they don't hear from me, they will assume I have abandoned the job. If I don't respond and decide to in fact just not finish the job, will I be in breach of the contract? If so, what's next?
Thanks
WisconsinI don't know what this is for, we did not order any work to be done by Stuntz Concrete.
WisconsinWe had our floors installed by a company. We paid 50% down., per the invoice we received when paying. They did not finish installing the flooring and have had no communication with us in 60 days. They have also not filed a lien. I want my floors finished but don’t want to pay another company to finish if this company has the ability to try and collect the remaining 50%, $3000.
WisconsinIn Wisconsin and we are providing labor to a subcontractor for a piece of property, are we disallowed to file a lien? I'm not sure if we are working on a residential or commercial job yet but in general are we prohibited or not because of the concrete work?Thank you.Tim Griffin
WisconsinWe are a roofing subcontractor on a commercial project hired by the general Contractor. We failed to send a preliminary notice and then the general contractor was fired by the owner and we have not been paid yet.
WisconsinWe started a job working directly for a customer, but now at the end - it turns out that we may have been taking on some of the work of another sub or gc on site - so the customer wants us to bill that contractor directly - we have followed procedures and deadlines with the first client in mind. Do we have any legal leverage over this new contractor? Or should we resort to liening the original property?
WisconsinI completed all work i agreed to do. Now im being ignored by homeowners, without receiving a dime.
WisconsinI did a job for a old friend. He works for another company, and got the job from a home owner he knows. A tree fell threw the roof and then needed the front half of the roof torn down and reframed. I was asked to do the job at a hourly wage which I accepted. He then screwed over me and the owner of the company. The owner of the company came down from where he is located and stopped the job. I haven't been payed by the home owner, owner of the construction company or the friend that works the company.
WisconsinNeed to know how a building can open with liens on it. How does the lender allow this to happen?
WisconsinWe purchased a cabin Fall of 2017. Spring of 2018 we had basement flooding. I hired, who claimed to be, an experienced waterproofing company to do some outside excavating and install drain tile around the inside perimeter of the basement. Initial visit they forgot to roll ruts out of lawn, second visit they only rolled ruts out of one side of yard. They have ignored three additional request to roll the entire lawn so mower does not get hung up. Still very difficult to mow. They did not follow instructions to tear our old cement sidewalk and instead poured a new sidewalk by adding to the old. I asked them for a second face to face so that they understood directions and to have redo supervised. To busy to come and asked me to draw a map. Still did it wrong. Instead of 12" of old concrete now there is only two. I did not ask them to do over a third time. Shoddy contractor recommended a 2" 'skim coat' of cement in order to improve esthetic of basement floor after perimeter was dug out. Discovered the original floor is only 2 - 3 inches thick They used overly wet cement mix with no expansion joints cut. Cracks form shattered glass appearance with high and low spots. When asked about excessive cracking, they claim this is normal. When asked why they did not cut expansion joints they said "Had we followed Redi Mix guy's instructions, we would have had to make cuts every four feet.' I have asked no less than 10 other cement contractors for their opinion. They all agree it was shoddy workmanship and unacceptable. They say it should be tore out to correct. Shoddy contractor feels that joint filler is the answer and does not want to tear out. Isn't that like putting duct tape on a broken window? I don't feel that this is reasonable as it does not cure the issue. They have had to redo every part of project. I put half down but am refusing last half of payment as I am told it will cost more than I owe to repair ($8000). I have now been sent a letter that they intend to file lien. I feel I have given them the right to cure. Obviously, they are not skilled in this area. They have refused face to face meetings to discuss all failures and I do not want to waste any more time with them. They belittle me and suggest I complain about everything. Well, I have! Very poor quality work! The floor needs to be replaced but I am not willing to pay for failed work that was done incorrectly. Can I file a claim against their insurance? Can I have work redone by someone else and bill them for a similar replacement? Please advise.
WisconsinDid contracted work for client which cancelled contract, and refuses to pay balance due
WisconsinRecently had a barn built, and looking for an "Final wavier of lien" for contractor to submit, one that satisfies Title company requirements?
WisconsinMy husband is a self employed contractor. He provided an estimate to the home owner not a contract because it was a friend helping a friend! ???? He completed the job on July 30 sent an invoice on August 3rd. We did not send or have a preliminary lien letter. I did send an intent to file a lien on September 10th they signed for it on September 13. When is the first day that I can file the lien, and can I if we didn’t have a contract with the owner nor a preliminary letter was sent?
