Is this a requirement by the state of Arizona?...Read More

I hired a contractor to paint the interior of my house and I agreed to provide the paint, and all other supplies. I purchased 2 five gallon buckets of paint for the walls and then an additional five gallon bucket for the ceiling. 6 tubes of caulk and 6 rolls of tape, 6 paint roller covers and 10 paint trays.
My house is 1281 sq ft. He started on a Monday and when I met up with him on Saturday ALL ten gallons of paint were used and hardly any of the ceiling paint was touched. All the tape was used, none of covers or trays used. And only half of the caulk was used. Unfortunately he had only done ONE bedroom completely, the second bedroom was originally white and only had one coat and it was all streaky. The hallway was a disaster. The master bedroom had two coats but needed the trim to be completed. Then the dining area and kitchen were spotty and the living room was untouched. Now he is wanting $1980. The paint itself was over $400. I had to fire him as he had only done two things right. Patching the walls and caulking some of the baseboards, not even all of them. What are my rights?...Read More

I have read from multiple sources that for Arizona owner-occupied residential projects, "Only parties who have a written contract with the owner-occupant may file a lien against an owner-occupied residential project.".
Does this mean that a subcontractor who is only in contract with the prime contractor does not have lien rights? If so, what alternative recourse does the subcontractor have to recuperate funds owed?...Read More
Long story short version. I had water damage , first on-site came and gave me a initial estimate for repairs. Nov 2021. Came out Dec 2021. A contractor came and gave me a run down of what was going to be done. Lots of painting , drywall etc. The first time anyone arrived to do any work was after multiple cancellations by them. A man that was picked up at Home Depot was brought to my home had no tools or anything. He was told to start putting insulation back into my walls and start painting from living room to front door of my home. My house was literally destroyed by paint in a matter of hours. I asked this gentleman to leave and then contact the contractor stating I did not want anyone back in my home. last contact with them was Jan 6 2021. I am now receiving a bill and NOI to file a lien for 7900$. First bill was Dec of 2022 I emailed the manager and we had some back and forth. Now it’s April 2023, I’ve received his notice. How is this even possible that I am being scared to think I would have to pay 7900$ for what ??? I never signed anything , no job was ever completed. I still have the drywall that was purchased in my garage for two years. I’m so confused at what this company is actually trying to get away with. Please help. ...Read More
I am a subcontractor who completed a road blading contract for Green Dream International on Sept 24 2022. The contract was for the Forest Service on the Kaibab Mountain in Coconino County AZ. I invoiced them Oct 9th. They paid me an amount before Nov 9th, but shorted me a significant amount. They will not respond to my e-mails. I thought I could file in Pennsylvania where one office is located which has a 120 day filing deadline if I did not get paid. Do I have to file in the state where the job was completed? I think Az only has a 60 day window, and I am past that....Read More
We manufacture cabinets. We are seeing more and more jobs pushed back and customers thinking they can leave their cabinets in storage with us without final payment (we collect 50% deposit) What can we do to enforce that customers do come and pick up their order in a timely manner - for example if a jobsite is shut down for months, our customers will not pick up their order, or pay for it until they are ready. Are we allowed to file a prelien and lien if we still have the product - we are talking hundreds of cabinets and tens of thousands of dollars - thank you...Read More
