Q: I need help in regards to filing a lien on a construction project or write up a demand of payment letter
I was hired by a contractor to install siding and painting.The project is coming to a close and im still owed 54 thousand dollars plus 51 thousand dollars of change orders.I still have to pay out 95 thousand dollars to my subcontractors.I am told by other people that the general contractor said good luck in getting paid those change orders.What can I do to make sure my subcontractors get paid by this company.
A: Sounds like you will need to sue them. I doubt a letter alone is going to dislodge $100k from someone. You need a real threat. Give me a ring and I can look at it with you.
