I dont want the color he painted. I told him to change the color to what I wanted. He is refusing and said he is going to file contractors lien. My kitchen is all torn apart, drawers are gone, no water, no stove, half of the counter tops are gone. Can he file a lien? What are my options?

If work was performed and has gone unpaid (and, of course, if all other requirements for filing a lien have been met), a contractor will likely be able to file a mechanics lien - even if there are other disputes present. However, the factual context surrounding a dispute would likely come into play during and enforcement or foreclosure proceeding. In order to recover any sums owed, an owner can always file a claim against a contractor. Further, it could also be effective to threaten to file a complaint to the contractors board as well. If a lien is ultimately filed, contesting the lien and bonding off the lien will both be available options to move forward, among others. Of course, as the dispute escalates, it would be wise to consult with a local construction attorney.

This is strange. I usually don't hire any intermediaries for redesign and renovation. I recently turned to a website where I bought new Solid Wood Cabinets Philadelphia for myself, but I installed them myself in my kitchen. So if you are thinking about refreshing the look of the kitchen, then I advise you to read more about these cabinets.

I envy you. I once saw in the restaurant such a great hand-made pizza oven, that I also wanted it. But unlike you or the restaurant, my kitchen is not this big. However I have some space in the garden, so I checked with outdoor ovens and they confirmed that I can have one. My teenage kids are also fond of pizza. So now they will be able to invite their friends for some nice treats too.
