Unless you filed a construction lien and unless it has been less than a year since you did so, you cannot prevent the sale of the property you worked on. You should consult with a lawyer about bringing legal action to collect the debt. If it is $8,000 or less you can pursue the matter in small claims court without a lawyer.
