Do You Have a Right to a Mechanic’s Lien?

If you have done work or supplied materials contributing to any improvement to real property within the State of Colorado – with or without a contract – and have not received payment, you may have the right to collect for your materials or work by recording and foreclosing a mechanic’s lien.  Perfection and enforcement of a Mechanic’s Lien requires diligent and precise action by the claimant to ensure that he conforms with the requirements of Colorado’s Mechanic’s Lien Statute.  Failure to meet deadlines and adhere to technical legal requirements can  invalidate a mechanic’s lien.

Homeowners who have paid the full contract price for construction of their home may in some circumstances defeat a mechanic’s lien and, sometimes, recover attorney fees for the costs of defending against a mechanic’s lien foreclosure.
