A contractor and/or his suppliers can file a lien on your property if they are not paid, but the ability to leverage a lien should end upon completion of the job and payment of all fees due. A lien waiver from the contractor insures that he has been paid for the completed project, and upon receipt of that payment the ability to put a lien on the property is removed.
Will my contractor provide a lien waiver upon completion and payment?
