There should have been a bond obtained per state law, unless there was a money deposit for the amount of the job (which seems very unlikely). For purposes
of what you do next, you can take them at their word there’s no bond (I assume they would’ve told you if there was a cash deposit in lieu of a bond). If you
were the GC, you should be able to sue for breach of contract.

You have a breach of contract action you can bring against the general or whoever hired you directly. If you’re a subcontractor, you can file a mechanic’s lien
against the owner for the amount due.

IowaConstruction Contract
You can sue the handyman if you paid him for work he didn’t perform. If he files a mechanic’s lien claiming you didn’t pay him for work you performed, you
can challenge the lien based on the fact he didn’t do all the required work. There’s no way to prevent him from filing the lien if he wants to do that, but then
you have to respond and point out why the lien is baseless.

IowaMechanics Lien
Unfortunately not. The Mechanic’s lien statute is only for contractors to file a lien on a property for work completed for which they haven’t been paid. Your
options would simply be to file suit in either small claims court or Iowa district court, depending on how much money is in issue, in the county where your
property is located.
