I have purchased a home that was newly renovated by a licensed general contractor and his team of subcontractors in the state of Florida , in the city of Boca Raton however The plans filed with the city do not match the work performances nor does any of the work meet with FBC Compliance’s. All disciplines have been affected whereby each discipline is non-functioning. Immediately we had brought this matter in its entirety to the city of Boca Ratons attention and after countless meetings and discussions to force this Florida licensed general contractor and his team to rectify all the major work remediation work necessary to meet with Florida building and fire and safety codes and to meet with the approved permitted plans, we remain in the same position with open costly non-functioning disciplines and no closer to a resolve. Now we are simply seeking financial restitution by filing an Insurance Claim against the General contractors liability insurance to fund the remediation work independent of this general contractor to achieve a functioning home that in fact meets with FBC and the plans it’s suppose to have meet originally. ...Read More

Our small sole proprietor ship performed labor on a powerplant. The owner slowly fell behind so we had to pay our laborers. We sent her the bill twice via the plant manager and his email. It is about $16,000. What should we do? Send certified letter for Prompt Payment demand with intention to place lien in 90 days? What form must I complete for the lien or court case.? Superior Court? Does she have to be served by a sheriff? Thank You!!...Read More

I moved to Idaho from another state over a year ago. I have been working for a neighbor who is having a house built. But I have been doing work for him, not directly for the contractor building the house. But all of my scope is directly related to the project. I am not licensed as a contractor of any sort, and still have a D.L. from another state, but technically I am a resident of Idaho. It's only been a few weeks since the last time I performed work there. Question : Am I allowed, or do I qualify, to file a lien on the property for unpaid labor wages? ...Read More

I am a carpenter (sub contractor) who has been working for a GC in Texas. We (crew members), are frequently treated as employees, i.e. told when-what-where we are working and what jobs we are performing. We don’t sign any contracts for work to be performed or what the timeline is, contrary to a “normal” sub contractor to contractor agreement. The owner (GC) makes these decisions and contractual agreements with the client. We are however required to turn in a weekly invoice with our names (as our own company) and hours worked on said project. I have been working on an assigned project for a couple months that went over budget for a multitude of reasons. In good faith I turned in less hours than actually worked to keep budget in mind, and spent money on my personal debit card for materials to perform the task. I have detailed receipts. I have been using my own residence/electricity, etc. to work on said project. Once the project went over budget the GC informed me he would not only not pay me hours worked, but would not refund my detailed receipts showing they were all solely for the job and not personal expenses. I’ve informed the owner of the company (GC) I am not after anything but pay for my time and personal expenses. I don’t want this to effect the homeowner, just want to be compensated and move on with my life. I notified him of my last invoice on 9/11/19 as was told the next day he would send to his lawyer and hit me with a lien, which I’ve yet to see. I’ve spent almost two weeks from initial dispute stressed, confused, and countless hours on how to proceed. Please help.

Our customer claims she did not like the work we performed. We have all photographic evidence of the improvements performed on her house. Despite the fact we offered a discount to fix the parts she does not like, although there are unreasoning she is ignoring all notices for her amount due. Do we send her a liens notice or file a case with the court or both? do we place a liens and wait for 10 days and then go to court or no reason to go to court if the liens is placed? never had issues like this before...Read More
