[quote=svelte][quote=flu]What if you (as the homeowner) buys all the materials?[/quote]
I’m hoping that would do it…can subcontractors that only supply labor – and not material – put a lien on your house? Anybody know?[/quote]
Yes they can. If the gc doesn’t pay them AND they’ve served you with preliminary notices within 20 days of the start of work, they can attach a mechanics lien for any unpaid work.
Keep track of these notices and insist on unconditional releases (or partial releases if progress payments are being made.) Do this for every sub that you know of.
