A file was created in Levelset for one customer, but a separate homeowner with the same name was tied to the job. A mechanic’s lien was then filed, and the unrelated customer is understandably upset. 1. Can we remove the name of the unrelated customer from the lien without having to cancel the lien? 2. Will this have any permanent affect on the unrelated customers title? ...Read More

I'm in Alabama. A roofing company damaged my rain gutters. They have an employee with previous experience installing rain gutters. They said they would repair the gutters. The roof was completed in November 2020, however, the gutters were just repaired in February 2021. They have not asked for payment due to repair work needing to be done. They asked for the balance to be paid the day the gutters were repaired. I explained to them that I had unexpected car trouble come up and had to use some of the money I had set aside for them. I told them I could pay part of the balance now and the rest by the end of the month. I have been told that I have 5 days to pay the balance or they will place a lien on my home. Is this legal? ...Read More

I hired a contractor to do work on my bathroom, and paid this contractor ahead of time for all the labor. This contract hired a plumber for me who did a lot of work on a bathroom renovation, and before getting paid, the contractor went bankrupt and did not pay the plumber. This plumber is now asking me for money and threatening to put a lein on MY house, even though I paid the GC ahead of time for all labor and material costs. Can they still do this, and what are my options? Thanks!!! ...Read More

We hired a contractor to do some renovation work, we had previously used him on another project. The contractor gave us an estimate of how much it would cost to do the work but never drew up a written contract/estimate. Our previous work was done as a pay as you go basis. We assumed this would be handled the same way and now that the work is done he is requesting a lot more money. He has only worked 2-3 days since our last payment and at that time I asked him in a text if this included everything up until that pay date. His answer was YES. We paid him 35,000 and now he is requesting 25,000 more because he said his estimate was 60,000. My husband was between jobs and worked along side the contractor for a month doing a lot of the work he would have had to do and he also hired people to do drywalling which he was going to do and we paid them directly. Any advise?...Read More

Our contractor completed work on our home on January 28th, 2020 for a project that began in March 2019. The relationship was not a good one & many mistakes were made that we asked him to correct (ordering incorrect shingles, siding cut with gaps, ordering & installing the wrong windows & sink are just a few examples). As the relationship got worse, he started threatening my partner with a lien on our home. She was pressured into signing off on two walls (that I wanted redone) & approving a final payment after enduring verbal abuse from the contractor & his foreman. She simply wanted the contractor & his foreman out of our home, as communication had become so hostile. The contractor & all subcontractors were paid in full at the end of January 2020. Here nearly a year later, there are items we have had to call the contractor back to fix (his work has a one year warranty). While he did respond & is addressing some of the issues, he is once again using the threat of a lien to get my partner to agree to let repairs go. My question is this: I know he had 90 days from the January 28th, 2020 to file a lien for the original work done, but does he have the right to file a lien now? Here a full year past when the work was completed, he is saying there was a "side contract" that we had with him that was "unpaid" & that if we write a negative review of his company, he will put a lien on our home. How can we fight back against this?...Read More
