In almost 50 yrs I've only had to file 2 liens. The lien waiver is given to the customer to prove that all sub contractors have been paid. This does not mean I have filed a lien. It is important to get a lien waiver when sub contractors are involved. If the general contractor is paid but doesn't pay his subs, they can lien your home even though you paid. STUPID FLORIDA LAW. Since we don't hire subs your canceled check is all you need.
