Homeowner’s Guide to Preventing Mechanic’s Liens
When you hire a prime contractor to do construction on your home, he or she typically
hires laborers and subcontractors to do some of the work, and purchases materials
for the job from materials suppliers. No one would dispute that a homeowner should
pay for goods or services provided to improve their home. If the contractor — or the
subcontractors, workers or suppliers — who provide goods or services to improve your
property aren’t paid, they can file what is called a mechanic’s lien on your home. Download the handy Homeowner’s Guide to Preventing Mechanic’s Liens brochure and get the facts on Mechanic’s Liens. Some of the questions answered in this brochure are:
- What is a Mechanic’s Lien?
- What happens when a lien is filed against your property?
- How can you protect yourself?
