I have a roofing bid for a project and this contractor is the only major roofer in the area.
IdahoI do insurance independently and one of my clients had me do a big policy for him and it was altogether 1200 he get his start in everything he only had for the time he was supposed to pay me the rest of the money the next morning cuz it was already late and since I already finished the insurance the next morning he decided to tell me he's not going to pay me and keeps giving me the run-around about paying me and then now doesn't answer my calls he owes me 800 what do I do I've already paid the insurance I just need the money from him now
TexasIf you roofing contract states "lump sum" to be paid at the end of the re-roofing project, but the roofing contractor ask you for a payment of material and some labor at the beginning of the project and you pay to keep the contractor interested in finishing your re-roofing project, does that contract still exists as "lump sum" contract or has the terms and conditions changed?
OklahomaWe did a job for a major construction company in New Mexico, and we are still owed 294,000.00 dollars. It's been 6 months. They have been paid in full by the GC.

New MexicoI recently did a job for a prime at the army base in Washington state JBLM, I was the the sub for a pharmaceutical company out of California we built a mezzanine that was not to spec but their drawings. We used all of the materials in the bid and delivered on time. I told the prime in two emails I don't think we should build this due to them reducing the material size. I even offered to mail a money order back they insisted we build the structure. It did not pass final inspection, and now the wont pay me. They are now claiming to sue me. I told them this was a bad idea no certs, no stamps no engineering? Permits? I am out a great deal of money and the ARMY is also mad at the prime, which I did tell the army "If you hire shit primes you get shit work" The army told me they always take the cheapest bid, The prime had clearly stated in email that they were liable for engineering permits and design. We finished our project without final payment $13,500. I am curious how to proceed Brandon McDannel 206-661-0729 Brandon@Ballardmarinefabricators.com
WashingtonIs it possible to waive the payment deadlines and retainage rules under the IL Contractor Prompt Pay Act in a contract?
IllinoisHi, I need advice on a scenario. If there is a dispute over the satisfactory of a job done by a subcontractor, how is it resolved? I know a subcontractor who did lawnmowing work for a contractor in Montana. The contractor is several weeks late on paying the subcontractor and is now claiming the job was not done well, as well as claiming subcontractor will owe him money for the cost of a company he hired to fix the job. There was no prior complaint of unsatisfactory work until The late payment was brought up. There are also witnesses, including the clients, to vouch for the quality of the job done. The only person claiming poor quality of the lawn mowing jobs is the contractor himself who is refusing to pay. What do you recommend?

PennsylvaniaI am an immigrant working construction and have not been paid 3319 dollars what can I do ?
New JerseyHello! We are a fence contractor and have completed a project for a client over 2 weeks ago. A couple sprinkler lines were damaged in the install - we have already agreed to repair those lines but the customer is withholding payment for the second half of the fence until the sprinkler lines are repaired. Are they able to do this? And can we charge late fees?
ColoradoI am spending 31,000 on a project for an insurance claim. The restoration company, ATI, has already charged me the deductible, 2500, and I thought they would just charge me the rest when they were done. They are requesting 17,000 partial payment now. What should I do?
Thanks,
Homeowner Steven Carnie
CaliforniaI got a construction job done yesterday and the contractor is urging me pay today. How long do I legally have to pay him?
MassachusettsWe have a general contractor that has not paid us since Feb. and the job is now completed and they plan to take occupancy next week. They say they have not been paid from the owner yet. What can we do?
KansasSome customers make payment via insurance checks and personal checks for partial amount of payment. If I cash these checks, am I waiving my lien rights or waiving the rest of payment owed to me?
Can I cash these checks to utilize for cash flow and still pursue the rest of payment.
VirginiaI currently have an attorney working on my Mechanics liens, and as you state in the information above, the Construction Manager is trying to skirt his way around paying the final payments due for work completed as expected by dragging us into court now by having the Complaints filed, etc.
The amount owed to me of additional work/scope is significant, in addition to the final payments being withheld (they want me to sign lien waivers which would make it impossible for me to then bill for the extra labor & materials).
In Illinois, do I have the right to file a Prompt Payment at the same time as we are in legal proceedings?
IL does allow for free mediation between both parties and their attorneys, however, defendant refuses this option.
Thanks!
Illinois
