CaliforniaLien DeadlinesMechanics LienPayment DisputesPreliminary Notice
A roofing company was subcontracted for a solar and roof project. They installed the roof. The solar company went under. There was no communication until the roofing subcontractor filed a lien. They did not request any payment prior. I don’t have any issue paying the lien. I just don’t want a paid lien to affect my credit for the next 7 years. How do I make sure a lien is taken off my record after it is paid? Do I need an attorney to force the contractor to retract the lien?...Read More

I am a general contractor in the state of California and began work with a nonprofit organization in June 2020. The director of the nonprofit has failed to honor the payment schedule that was included in our contract from the beginning of me working with him. At times he would write me a check for half the sums stipulated in the payment schedule, and eventually would give me the rest. Since the first week of July I was due a check of $10, 000.00. when I requested to check he only gave me $4, 000.00 of that sum. I did not want to display distrust in my client and I've been patient with him and the breaches of payment schedule before so I went ahead and continued constructing. When I was in need of the remainder $6,000 of the $10,000 schedule payment he began denying me the funds saying that he was unhappy with our attendance to his site based on what he had already paid me. You never proceeded to say that I must be siphoning the money to other projects and that because of this he wanted to buy materials personally and pay myself and my employees our wages daily. I send four emails informing him that the state of California allows me to schedule my work and my staff as I see fit as long as I do not breach our contractual agreement. I made it very clear that despite the offensive accusations and treatment of distrust that my intentions were the same as they've always been to finish his construction and provide him with the highest quality construction possible. I also offer him my expenses record and my Google GPS location history so that you can see that his distrust was based on non-factual ideas. Despite me offering him these unalterable unbiased data sets for his convenience and my attempt at trying to convey that my interest and intentions were to resolve this in an amicable way he has refused to pay me and has never taken me up on the offer of the information that would exonerate me and asked me to remove my tools from his site. At this point I really do not want a headache with this man and would be happy if I can just not deal with him or his project any longer but I'm worried about being liable for illegally abandoning the construction contract. In your professional opinion would I be liable for any charges against me if I decided to not go forward with this contract any longer? Your advice is greatly appreciated thank you very much!...Read More

I sent a lien for our project called RCloud. Since I sent the lien, the GC has made one progress payment. We are still owed $218,602.80 which includes unbilled retention. The GC is asking if I've updated the lien amount to reflect the new balance since they made a payment. Is this something I need to do? Or does the lien amount remain in tact until I'm paid in full? ...Read More

My former employee (unbeknownst to me as company owner) engaged a plumber of mine on a residential remodel project. The general contractor has a contract with a homeowner. They are claiming that my plumbing company was acting as a subcontractor - although there was no contract with my company, no bid/proposal, and no statement of work. In the process, my plumber had a leak causing damage to the homeowner. The contractor and the owner now refuse to pay my invoice, demand damages to the property payment and want information on my liability insurance to make a claim. I am concerned because I was not aware of this job - it simply was not on my books. What are my options?...Read More
