What is the name of your state? California. I work for a small construction company. After completing a job on a client's home, The client refused to pay the final invoice and stated he has a list of "15 things" that supposedly need to be reworked. The client has stood us up twice when we made appointments to review his concerns. He has stated that he will fax us the "list" but never has.
Can a construction customer refuse payments until rework is done?
Also, to collect, should I file a mechanic's lien and then attempt to collect on the lien through small claims court? Or should I go straight to court without the lien?
We have a contract with the payment structure as part of it, but the client had changed the scope of the work many times during construction and I am afraid we are lacking change orders for much of it. Help! He owes us about $4500What is the name of your state?
