File liens.
Get paid.

A mechanics lien (also called a construction lien or contractor lien) is a legal claim against a property that secures payment for work performed or materials supplied. When you file a mechanics lien on property, it creates a security interest that remains until you're paid. Our mechanics lien filing services handle the entire process, from document preparation to recording with the county.

Anyone who provides labor, materials, or services to improve real property can file a mechanics lien. This includes general contractors, subcontractors, material suppliers, equipment rental companies, architects, engineers, and laborers. Our construction lien services help all construction industry professionals file a contractor lien on property when payment is overdue.

To file a construction lien, you'll need to: (1) Send preliminary notices if required by your state, (2) Prepare the mechanics lien document with property and project details, (3) Record the lien with the county recorder, and (4) Serve notice to the property owner. Our construction lien filing services handle all these steps for you, ensuring your mechanics lien filing is done correctly and on time.

Construction lien filing deadlines vary by state, typically ranging from 30-120 days after you last provided labor or materials. Missing these deadlines means losing your right to file a mechanics lien on property. Our platform automatically tracks all deadlines for your mechanics lien filing to ensure you never miss a critical date.

Yes, every state has different mechanics lien laws and requirements. Some states require specific language, notarization, or preliminary notices before you can file a construction lien. Our construction lien services automatically use the correct state-specific forms, so your mechanics lien filing meets all legal requirements.

The cost to file a mechanics lien on property includes our service fee plus county recording fees, which vary by location. Our construction lien filing services provide transparent, upfront pricing with no hidden fees. The cost is typically far less than the amount you'll recover by filing a contractor lien on property.

Mechanics lien and construction lien are different terms for the same legal tool. Some states call it a "mechanic's lien," others use "construction lien" or "contractor lien on property." Regardless of the name, the purpose is the same: to secure payment for work performed on real property. Our mechanics lien filing and construction lien services cover all variations.

Yes, subcontractors absolutely can file a mechanics lien on property, even if they don't have a direct contract with the property owner. This is one of the most powerful protections in construction law. Our construction lien filing services help subcontractors file a construction lien to secure payment, even when working under a general contractor who hasn't paid.
