Can a contractor put a journeymans lien on my home if he refuses to fix the problems?
:confused: Follow up but different question from yesterday... contractor did landscape work and a large part of it was horrible work, and steps are dangerous. I asked him to fix all the problems and he walked off saying merry christmas, he wasn't going to fix anything, but if he heard me talking bad about him or his company he would "come and get me".
Can he file a journeymans lien on my home saying I owe him money and then later years down the road I find out and have to deal w/ that? I have had people telling me that and I am afraid that he will sneak off and do that and then 10 years down the road I find out and have to deal with that. How do my rights fill in there if he never did any of the fixes but files a journeymans lien saying I still owe him the rest of the money?
And how long do I have to worry that he might be a problem for me? (statute of limitations in texas)
