Hello! We are windows supplier and we are working with windows installer which is hired by GC on the commercial job in Washington DC. As we are suppliers to subcontractor, according to Washington DC Lien law we do not have Lien rights. https://www.levelset.com/mechanics-lien/washington-dc-lien-law-faqs/ We would like to clarify, could the installer transfer Lien right to us? We could document this transfer in the agreement, if that would be legit. If you know any articles about this topic we would appreciate if you could share links. Thank you...Read More
Hello
We are researching information about Materialman’s Lien for project in Washinton DC. I found this article about it, but Washington DC state is not specified.
https://www.levelset.com/blog/materialmans-lien-overview-for-suppliers/
We are materials supplier, and we fabricate windows specifically for each project. The client can’t accept windows at the moment, and we are storing them in a warehouse for 76 days.
We would like to clarify regarding Lien option on specifically fabricated materials, what are the due dates and documents we would need to submit in case client will not take windows from warehouse.
Thank you!...Read More
My GC says the work was not completed and he was paid already for portions of his contract but it was poorly done and he was passed his timeline and didnt finish the scope of work. The GC brought in other people to finish his work because he couldnt complete it. His contract was for 18k and he basically sent me a filled out lien form for 65k as a threat saying he will file with dc. I have never met this sub before and didnt know he existed until he called me this weekend. He sent me text saying either I pay him or he will submit the lien which feels like extortion ...Read More
Our company did a job for a client that had damage to his apartment . This damage clean up was approved by his property manager that had got approval from there corporate office. The corporate office gave the customer a credit on his rent for his inconvenience and agreed to pay for the clean up to our company. When we gave the invoice to the customer to pay we found out he had taken the check that the corporate office sent him to pay us and had cashed it and spent the money . The customer claims he can not pay the invoice because he no longer has the money. How can I get paid for this job?...Read More

What is considered permanent improvement/mechanic lien protection? We have Service Calls and Preventative Maintenance works for one owner. All properties locate at DC. The invoices the owner owe us include monthly Preventative Maintenance Agreement Billings, and individual Service Calls. Can we file mechanic lien for the unpaid invoices? How to consider these invoices as jobs when filing mechanic lien? i.e. Can all the unpaid service call invoices and monthly Preventative Maintenance Agreement billings for one single property be considered as one job to file one lien?...Read More
We were trying to sub out a job and the subcontractor said he was gonna show up and complete and he never did then shows up for two hours we asked him for his new subcontractor forms(direct deposit, W9) and he leaves the property when we asked.. We agreed to pay him for the 2 hours worth of work for materials which he asked for, but then started threatening us for payment but this never gave us a W9, direct deposit or any other forms. I don’t even have an address.. He’s a huge SCAM we’re asking for his paperwork so we can send payment and he’s refusing.. SMH who does that!!! Crazy now he’s threatening to put a lien on a property that he didn’t complete any work on and we have no Photos for $600.00...Read More
