Secure your lien rights and get paid what you're owed.
If a GC doesn't pay you, your strongest tool is a mechanics lien. But you can only file one if you sent a preliminary notice within 20 days of starting work.
A preliminary notice is just a letter telling the owner, the GC, and the lender that you're on the job. It isn't a lien and it isn't a threat, and good GCs expect it.
Verified, accurate research
A preliminary notice sent to the wrong owner protects nothing. This is the part we obsess over.
- Property records and permit data auto-fill the owner, GC, and lender information
- Expert audits catch inconsistencies before any notice is sent
- You can review exactly what will appear on the notice before anything mails
