Lien waivers (new construction)

A lien waiver is a receipt that says suppliers have been paid for work done on your home and will not ask for further payment or file a lien. Therefore, you may want to ask your contractor to provide you with lien waivers from all subcontractors as soon as their portion of the work is done.

Do not settle for a contractor's promise he will pay everybody. If you cannot get the lien waivers, select another contractor or ask your present contractor to choose subcontractors from whom lien waivers can be obtained.
