I will pass on to her your posting for her to follow up as she deems appropriate.
Personally, we have had 2 significant projects completed on our Florida homes. In both I paid 1/4 of the contract upon delivery of the bulk of a significant amount of materials and the beginning of work using the material and paid the final contract amount upon completion and approval by the city inspectors and receipt of waivers

Thanks for your reply. I doubt that a paver supplier would have sent a preliminary notice to a homeowner regarding a possible lien. But, if they did, it should have been a huge red flag to withhold payment from the contractor. I think that the paver supplier may be trying to scare the homeowner into paying them for the pavers, when they know they can't file a lien on the house.
