Contractors

I hired a contractor to do a bathroom remodel - he was paid in full - he did not pay for goods used. They put a lien on my house. What recourse do I have? I don't think I explained myself clearly. I don't need to know about liens. I need to know what I can do to get the contractor to pay the amount due. It is approx $3600.

We perform work on 'Common Areas' of HOA's. Such as fences around the property, pool houses, boiler rooms, light poles, etc. How do you file a lien on a common area of a HOA?

I am a licensed contractor in state of AZ. I last worked on a property March 8, 2009. I provided materials and labor to the property. I did not fill a Pre Lien notice. Can I still file liens on this property?

My home owners insurance gave me money to replace my roof and for interior painting. The money was put in an escrow account by my mortgage company.The roof is finished and the contractor has 90% of the available money. The interior painting was not yet executed. After 30 days of finishing the roof the contractor filed a lien without warning me. The amount of the lien includes the cost of the interior painting nevertheless the work was not done.To get the last 10% of money from the escrow account the contractor had to issue a Waiver of lien. Again they included the amount of the interior painting as outstanding. At that point I did not yet know that they already filed a lien. (the notice came 3 days later) Needless to say I was humilated. Now I want to get another company to do the interior. Do I have the right to do so? Is the construction Lien superseded by the Waiver of lien?

If the owner paid the contractor in full, but the contractor fails to pay subcontractors or fails to pay for the materials, can the sub contractors or the store place a lien on the owner and property? The materials were taken from the store by the contractor who had an 'open' account.
