I work for an excavation company. We don't use Levelset at the company I currently work for. The company that I used to work for used Levelset, and it was very helpful. Recently, I took over the billing at the company I currently work for and noticed that there are more than a few jobs that have unpaid invoices dating as far back as 2016. Our contract is fairly basic regarding client invoicing and payment, basically we will submit invoices every (30) days, client shall pay invoices in full within (30) days, If client fails to pay we may give (10) notice to client to secure the default, if they fail to do so, we can stop work. I would like to attempt to collect on some of these old invoices. Do I have any recourse, if so, what steps would I have to take in order to do so? Thank you in advance.
CaliforniaI worked on a project for 8 months, it was the in-laws home that needed some repairs in order to be put on the market to sale after their passing. I worked with my soon to be ex-husband on the project. It was a verbal agreement that if i helped him getting this house ready To be sold- when it did sell- he would give me $10,000. The house sold Nov.1,2022. I have not heard a peep from him in regards to me being paid. A few months back he made a statement that he was giving me anything, that i owed him for other things that he started to rattle off. These things he stated had nothing to do with this house and besides....i dont feel that i owe him anything to be honest. With that being said- this verbal was for the job not by monthly payments as the examples show. What do i nees to do here to get my money? He also had me charge stuff on my home depot account with assurance of being paid. 1300.00 be be exact. Not one penny haw been applied to that.
TexasI’m a homeowner in Massachusetts. A contractor took a small deposit from me in August for a siding job. The work was to be done in August and since then nothing has occurred. He has a slew of excuses. I no longer trust him or want to invest tons of Money with someone who runs his business so poorly. He claims he has ordered the materials. Am I legally required to stay with this contractor if he says he ordered materials? I have not signed a contract. No work has been done and I have only provided him a deposit.
MassachusettsContractor changed the terms of our agreement of payment of materials upon delivery. Also slow payed and have been difficult to work with. Contractor has been through 3 project managers so far for this job. They try and back charge us for their mistakes and won't take responsibility for their actions. We have completed our end of contract and agreement.
North CarolinaI would like to know what can be done and what forms I will be needing to receive payment and my tools and vehicle back.
CaliforniaWe did work on a school for a contractor the job was completed however the contractor has refused to pay the remaining $9000 of the bid. Should we go to the school board to force payment or can we file a lien against the contractor?
IowaWe were hired to do 2 separate jobs from one client. I am a GC but was hired as a sub by a GC. completed the first job (still owes $3800 on that job) started second job, plans were wrong, his plumbing subs did their part wrong ( i had my men fix for free), did extra work, then we disagreed on something and he terminated the remaining work to be done on second contract. We agreed to the separation. He then requested most of the money we received from him for second job refunded. We sent a break down of costs including money owed from first completed job (we were generous as we just wanted to go on to our next project). the breakdown sent had us owing him $3500. He denied and said we owe much more now he got a lawyer and wants $38,000 immediately. What is our next step. We do not owe him $38,000 and dont want the CSLB involved.
CaliforniaThe homeowner wants her son involved in building and remodeling the home the sun is disabled and I was told last night we are required to pay him $18 an hour he knows nothing about construction has never work construction he is not a subcontractor and if we don’t hire him then she’s going to cancel our check
TennesseeOur reroofing is essentially done but a few things are still missing: connecting to roof to the pool cage, replacing a drain pipe they damaged, tightening some fasters of the gutters they unscrewed / removed, etc. They also cracked a part of the driveway by overloading a dumpster.
During the re-roofing the contractor has lied to us on several accounts and is not trustworthy. They insist on payment in full before the will fix the last remaining issues. However, it seems quite clear they actually don't have the intention to do it.
What is the best way to proceed? So far, we made it clear well pay the remaining amount (20%) only when the project is completed.

New YorkWe just started a construction company focusing on building ADU and residential remodeling. We're interested in having a set of contracts that's enforceable but also flexible per job. Can you let me know how much we need to budget for contract setup as a small business?
CaliforniaI 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.
PennsylvaniaMain Contractor does not pay Subcontractors even we pay him in full for the same
- Main Contractor failed to provide the mandatory Disclosure Statement RCW 18.27.114 leaving us the Owners with no knowledge whatsoever about Washington State principle of Mechanical liens protecting Subcontractors payments
- No Subcontractors provide us the Owners a Notice of Right to Claim Lien within 60 days from first delivering labor or materials to Main Contractors
Q1: Can Subcontractors put a Mechanical Lien on our Property for not being paid by Main Contractor we paid in full for the Work complete by Subcontractors?
Q2: Main Contractor’s debt to Owners ran ~$K40 what are options to Owners for getting paid? To enforce collection of Owners Credit?
Thanks

WashingtonCan the officer of a construction company enforce a mechanic's lien which was properly recorded in the county in which the property is situated if (1) the lien was recorded with the individual officer's name listed on the lien as the claimant, rather than the construction company itself which performed the work, and (2) the individual officer listed is NOT the RMO associated with the company's license, but they ARE listed as "personnel associated" with the company's license on CSLB's wesbite?
