We started a solar commercial project 5 weeks ago. Our scope of work as grown as the General on site needs more work done that we can perform. The payments are starting to slow down and I’m worried that we will not get all of the monies due to us at the end of the project. Is it too late to file a lien? With every different task we have been asked to do I do stop work until we get a contract from the general, but I am being told that you have to file one before you even show up on site. ...Read More

I am on the other side of this possible lien situation. I had a non licensed contractor/repair company that was working from a punch list that I sent to him in June. Well, he seemed to find one problem after another to keep him busy without completing the things orig asked. My problem is that I have a home at Myrtle Beach and he was working on my home near Charlotte, NC. After tiring of sending him money without completion, I fired him and went to Charlotte only to find uncompleted work, shoddy work and work not even started. After sending him accumulated over 36,000, I said "No More" after spending days in Charlotte fixing and doing what he did not do. In his note to me responding to my email of problem after problem, "we have a warranty and will return to repair problems" A warranty was never talked about or listed on any correspondence or bills. I do not want him back on my property. He says he will enter mechanic's lien for 2,500 unpaid final bill..... help me - tired of getting ripped off !!!!!!! ...Read More

We know the homeowner's intention is to sell the property after the project is complete. How can we preemptively protect ourselves to minimize the risk of payment issues down the road?...Read More

We are the GC on a private commercial project in DC. Our contract is with the lessee of a portion of a mixed use property. We are on a 3 week pause due to non payment of our client. We have approx. 2-3 weeks of Tentant Improvement work that remains and our millwork sub is holding their product ready for install at their facility until told to remobilize. If we as the GC lien, will the lien attach to the property or just to lessee's interest in the property. Also, as our sub has their millwork package complete and ready, but stored at their facility, do they have lien rights as well?...Read More
