Good afternoon. I have a few questions please.
1. I am looking to see if a material supplier on a public job will have rights to claim against a payment bond.
2. Our company is currently using LevelSet and I would like to know if there is an area in the platform that explains these rights for jobs in Puerto Rico.
3. What statute would lien rights in Puerto Rico be located?
4. Are you aware of any other websites where I can obtain information regarding lien/bond rights in Puerto Rico.
Thank you,
Patricia Uddo
IllinoisI am working on a Federal Project in Texas. We had to leave the project on May 14, 2020 due to covid. We have no idea when we can return. I have not been paid since March. My question is, does my 90 days for the Miller Act start from the last day I was there, on from when I complete the project?

MissouriWe are sub-contract to an electrical sub-contract. What is our position when filing a claim against a bond from the General Contractor. Do we file against the bond that the GC has?
CaliforniaWe hired a licensed contractor (a neighbor) to install 9" x 47" porcelain tile plank flooring throughout our complete house. He told me that he required 50% down at the start of the job and then there would be progress payments at the end of each week, it was to be a 2 week job. On the day he started the job I gave him a check for the 50% he had requested. After the first day of his work we noticed there were several problems with the job. There was a lot of excessive lippage and crooked tiles. The next day he had other obligations and was not at our job. When he returned on day 3 I immediately informed him of my concerns. He said everything was within industry standards and refused to correct anything. We have filed complaints with the CSLB and his bond company. The CSLB mediator told us that a deposit for a job can only be 10% or $1000. whichever is less however she stated that because he had actually started the job when I gave him the check he is entitled to ask for more and the 10% law does not apply. However doesn't this violate the law that states he cannot ask to be paid for work not done or materials not delivered? We purchased the tile ourselves from a flooring store. The only materials he provided that day were 3 bags of mortar and 2 gallons of a roll on coupling membrane, less that $200 of materials. We have since discovered many other problems with his work. The roll-on membrane was applied wrong, we have numerous cracks in our concrete slab that he paid no attention to, he used the wrong mortar and the wrong size trowel to install the tiles and we have since discovered many hollow sounding tiles. Of course the contractor denies any wrong-doing. The bond company says we have to prove he violated the Contractors License Law before they will consider payment on his bond. And there was not written contract only a bid sent to us 3 days before the start of the job which was a different price quoted to us a month or so earlier by phone. The CSLB said they would take action on this but what type I don't know. The mediation phase has ended and we are waiting to be contacted by an investigator so at this time we have no one to contact at the CSLB. This has been going on for 3 months now. Any insight or advice you cay give me will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
CaliforniaHi, can a damage of the roof caused by a heavy stormy rain on a building that has been built for more than 30 years be regarded as a defective of the construction?
FloridaI was a Salesman / Estimator / Project Manager for a AZ roofing company and was not paid for the last of my jobs that were completed. The owner of the company is saying my jobs were penalized because of difficulty and therefore he is not paying me on them.
ArizonaIf you are a homeowner who had a contract with a less than honorable general contractor & you are one of MANY homeowners who are forced to file a bond claim, how are all those claims paid? Would the bond company have to deny some claims?
