We initially ordered cabinetry for a contractor in August then added items later in September. The contractor gave us a substantial down payment but has been dragging his feet when we sent an invoice for the balance and had all kinds of reasons why he hadn't sent the balance. He was unhappy about how a couple of things had come in and miscommunication of his expectation of a couple of items so on a balance due of $4004.34 we comp'd him in the amount of $2420.80. He then ordered additional items such as handles along with a few more items. We sent him an invoice of $2527.04 of which he informed me he was only sending a check in the amount of $1448.04. These are legitimate items and I'm wondering if you think this is a legitimate reason to lien his home that is now listed for sale? Nothing unethical or underhanded was done on our part and I feel that he should pay the amount due.

Even if it is the same project and has the same project number? We are a GC for a project in Wyoming....Read More
We and the Company contracted to do the work are located in Colorado but the jobsite is in Wyoming which Lien laws must I follow.
To answer the next question "Select state where situation occured" is a grey area because the work was performed in Wyoming but everything else ie: being hired, sending invoicing, etc. has all been in Colorado but I am pretty sure the property location is going to dictate what happens from here....Read More
