Customer and I went under contract to do a kitchen and master bath remodel. I believe the job was completed to a professional status and the customer is seemingly nit picking to the point i cannot meet up to his expectations. He owes me the final 25% of the invoice and is refusing to pay, he is saying he will hire a contractor to come and finish the job and deduct it from my remaining balance. $21,000 is left to be paid. But I’m not sure if not pulling a permit is going to cause me to lose the case if we go to court. ...Read More

I did a construction job for my aunt under the Chips program that gave her $37,000 in money to rehabilitate her house. The initial application was denied as they felt it would be too much to do the job with just the maximum amount they would furnish. i offered to pay the rest, and did the work finishing partly in 2012 or so, and have been doing work on her house up to Nov. 2019. She did offer to pay the difference to me, but never has, and to be truthful, i am only filing a mechanic's lien to protect my work and money for this house when medicaid steps in, as i did truthfully do over $35000 worth of labor and material over the last 10 years. This was the purpose of this lien, and the attorney who did this clearly knew nothing of filing a lien when using your service. i need to make the dates viable under Ohio law as I still was performing work on her house up until lately, and any date that makes this work is fine, as i have records to produce to prove it, as well as the work done. If this is not clear, please contact me, as I have to get a lien on this house and because I have never stopped the work, it is still ongoing, and still not finished due to my reluctance to do anymore work on this house due to medicaid issue. Thank you Greg Brophey...Read More

I have heard that in order to have lien rights in NY my company would have to be registered with the state but as a materail supplier I was wondering if this provision still applied as we do not install our own doors on site and therefore do not require any additional work permits. ...Read More

In GA, our customer contracted directly with the property owner. We sent our prelim to the the customer and owner. Owner then pays our customer directly in full. We never provided any waivers to our customer. Is the owner in violation of any lien law for not verifying that we were paid, or is there anything we can do?...Read More

I have been working under the table and not been paid after the work is done. I am owed roughly 2 grand for the work i did on renovation and restoration of two properties. I was promised by the property owner that he would pay me such amount for each stage of work yet demanded a rush on the work and now that the work requested is done. He won't pay me what im owed. I have multiple people aware that i did the work and still have keys to the property. Yet the owner was adamant about not having any paperwork or contract other than verbal agreements. I did however take pictures and some video of the before and after work on a few parts of the buildings such as sheetrock, wiring, and painting. Am i still able to file for a lien and if so what and how should i go about it? ...Read More

We hired a contractor to do work on our home. He provided an estimate. However did additional work on home with out our approval and caused damage to 3 places on our roof. Still has not completed the work but sent us an invoice. When we refused to pay for the work since it is not completed and damages he claims he can start billing up for past due invoice. He also returned to our home 2 weeks after claiming to have completed the work and did additional damage to our roof and tried to fix one of the items. He is now threatening up with a mechanics lien. Suggestions on how to proceed....Read More

In Florida many exempt entities purchase from us (vendor) directly to avoid sales tax. When selling directly to an owner (BOE, Hospital, Church, County) do we need to file a Notice to Owner or Notice of Furnishing to retain lien rights? How would lien/bond rights work in this situation. Would we still have any protection should we not be paid?...Read More

I hired a contractor in CT in August 2019 for a project and he damaged my property and the work was immediately stopped by the association. The work was not allowed until the damage was restored. I asked the contractor to pay for the damages, he agreed earlier but later after when I sent the invoices he is fooling and now he sent me the intent of notice of lien on my property. This incident happened in Aug 2019 which has already crossed 90 days. How should I respond to his intent to lien on my property. ...Read More
