Legally, an unpaid contractor, subcontractor or supplier can file a lien (sometimes called a mechanic's lien) that could eventually force the sale of your home in place of compensation.Conversely, if the contractor who worked on your project does not pay for materials, a supplier could place a lien on your property.

A lien is essentially a claim for repayment of a debt. In the construction context, a lien is of considerable importance because it offers considerable power to a subcontractor to seek payment from an owner through the property itself for a debt owed to the subcontractor by a general contractor or other third party.

If a general contractor refuses to pay his subcontractors, they can make a claim against the payment bond. The surety company will pay out the subcontractors for at least part of their money and take the contractor to court.

Invalid Liens A lien stays in the county records and on your property title until you take action to remove it.If the contractor, subcontractor, laborer, or material supplier fails to follow any of the specific time frames, you can petition the court to remove the lien.
