I own a UPS Store that was to be modernized. The construction time was supposed to be five weeks long. Because of delays from the manufacturer of cabinets and various components needed to complete the project, the construction is still not complete (one month PAST the original completion date). The contractor has requested a payment of approximately $100,000.00 (approximately 2/3's the total price) for work completed to date. Since the construction is not complete (no completion date in sight) I am reluctant to pay that much money to him. I've offered to pay $30,000.00 at this time but he says he's going to file a lien and "foreclosure" actions. It's my understanding under North Dakota law that any payments towards the construction costs precludes the General Contractor from placing a lien on the work. Is that correct? Thanks, Leo Mora leomora8@yahoo.com...Read More

This was an insurance claim that I worked very hard to get for him. It was a $16,000 job whereas, he only gave me $5200. 00 down and fired me the day the work was complete. He was also responsible for pulling the permit for the home and never did. What can I do? thank you Terry Brady ...Read More

Hello, Here is a series of events. Hired first contractor (Will) to rehab a house. First contractor did not finish job, payment plan with us, he could not finish the job and still owes us roughly 16,000. First contractor hired sub-contractor (Ron) to do the HVAC, however, he did not pay the sub contractor. We paid the first GC 12,000 to pay for the HVAC but never gave him (RON) the money. We found the sub-contractor and decided he could be the general contractor to finish the job. However, he was not working to our standards and was let go. Now, he wants 6000 grand for the equipment, HVAC. Am i Liable as an owner of the house to pay the 6000 grand back for the materials bought with the first GC? I...Read More

Hello, I'm located in CA. I hired a designer to draw a design for a Jr ADU in my property. We signed a contract for 40 hours of labor, not to exceed 60. The 40 hours were paid in full. The contract also states that if the work exceeded 40 hours, it would be discussed with the customer. The designer/drafter did not discussed with me, and just sent me an invoice for an additional 20 after I had payed 40 hours hours without prior notice. He is now demanding for payment and is telling me he will file a CA Mechanics Lien. Is this legal given that he did not give me the opportunity to authorize more than 40 hours of labor?...Read More

The homeowner did not pay his invoice and sold the property days after we had finished and closed 3 weeks ago. That makes me a subcontractor right? Use the sub lien form & shortening my deadline to two months correct?...Read More

I only have a estimate sent to me by the contractor that I signed but the contractor did not. I had previously checked the ROC for their license and they had them. Weeks later when I was sent an estimate, the contractor listed the ROC license numbers but I found out after I signed and they had already started work that their license had been suspended. They drywalled over the plumbing break in question so I don’t even know if the work was actually completed, besides the fact that it was completed by a worker who is not a licensed plumber. I have not had them back because of their actions and shady tactics. Can a company that does work on a suspended contractor’s license have the ability to seek a Mechanics lien? ...Read More

Hello - my pre-litigation attorneys withdrew from my case with 1.5 weeks to file. They sent the complaint to me to be filed; though it does not include a signature page.

I am, thus far, pro se on this matter moving forward. Many thanks - Danielle ...Read More
