Good to Know
Direct contractors generally have 90 days after completion or cessation — 60 days if a notice of completion is recorded. Subs and suppliers depend on preliminary 20-day notice. Don't wait to call.
Other remedies (stop notice, bond claim, contract claim) may still be available — but only if you act quickly.
No — California mechanic's liens apply to private works. Public works have stop notices and payment bond claims instead.
