My fence contractor began work back in the beginning of May. They never filed a Preliminary Notice. Their work is terrible and while they have now completed the job yesterday (8/19/2021) to the best of their ability though not perfect, the refuse to take less than full payment. They want to put a lien on my house for the balance of $1877 as I am willing to still give $1877 additional to the $3755 owed. I am also the leasee of the property owned by a trust where I am the beneficiary, but not the trustee. Can they put a lien this late or take any action against me for non full payment?

I wasn’t very knowledgeable about the process to file a mechanics lien so I might have submitted the Preliminary Notice late. Can I still do it if it’s only a day over 20 days?...Read More
In Ohio, if the General Contractor has a direct executed contract with the Owner -does the General Contractor have to send out a "Notice of Furnishings" or is the Notice of Furnishings in Ohio only for Subcontractors and Material Suppliers who do not have a "direct Contract" with the Owner.

They have now sent a Twenty Day Preliminary Notice which is addressed to my father's name yet he did not sign the contract. Do I respond to the notice as it was mailed to the property, and I live here but my parents do not....Read More

I have a subcontract directly with the General Contractor. I have been paid in full except retention and a large amount of change order work due to flooding that is being held up by the GC's insurance claim.

In Texas, how do you challenge the validity of a mechanics lien filed by lower-tiered subs and suppliers when they haven't properly sent monthly preliminary notices? The project is non-residential....Read More
