We had a bad contractor fired for very poor workmanship and he put a lein on my clients home for $11,000. So we paid off the lein to the county clerk and the subcontractor had one year to bring a law suit. The sub contractor never sued since he had no mean of winning. How do we get our 11,000 from the town clerk....Read More
Trouble getting payment even after sending notice of intent to file lien...hired by the owner so I don't need a prelim right? But on your site it says that my job needs a prelim by the first. Why? Work was done in middle of month.....not that it needs the prelim anyway....the levelset UI comes off as easy to use but is actually not very friendly at all.........Read More
I am a flooring company that installed, sanded and coated a 3,000 sq ft house. New construction, first contract was for install, second was for sanding and finishing the wood. I was paid full for first and only half for second contract. Work is completed, and homeowners want more finished coats. They were told once they pay the rest of contract I will then buy more poly and do how ever many coats they want. Not putting any more of my own money into a job that I haven't been paid for. (When theres been many issues with money along the way. ) My question is, If I put a lien on the house/owners does that stop them from being able to move in until I am paid fully for completed contract? If not then what are my options this house isn't going to be sold probably past my days. Its just about finished built for Owners I am doing work for.

I am an individual, not a contractor.
I was in the process of purchasing a house from a neighbor.
The house is elevated near the water.
The foundation poles were rotted and the house was sagging.
We had a hurrican pending and the owner and I both were concerened about the stability of the house.
In the week before the storm came in I agreed to repair and replace the support post and stabilize the house at a cost of $18,000.
The house owner agreed to verbally to pay me back in the event that the sale did not go through. He also agreed to email me a simple document to that effect.
I paid to have the house repaired but the man did not send the document confirming the agreement.
The sale of the house did not go through and now the owner says that he is not going to reimburse me.
How can I file a lien on this property?

I was contacted by the building owner about a mechanic lien I filed. I was told the project engineer spoke with the subcontractor (JN Glass) that has failed to pay me for my service and material and stated to them he had a dispute with my total charges. They emailed him stating he should resolve this matter with me. They also said they signed a lien waiver from the subcontractor (JN Glass) indicating he was paid in full. How do I move forward in this situation? It feel as I am back to my original position. The material in that building is still unpaid for as well as our labor. What can I do?...Read More

I was hired on a public project to replace the metal roof under a contract from my company to the township of summit county ohio board members. It was a parts and service building next to a police station that we agreed on a certain amount. I also put about 2000 extra dollars into the project. Long story short they swindled me and ended up not paying anything on 7700 dollar invoice. this was completed in June of 2020 and shortly after during my attempts to get paid I came down with covid and it kind of mixed everything I had going up. Im not sure if I even have the right to still pursue and I was hoping I could get some insight on those rights
