I'm surprised by the number of posters who'd never heard of this type of lien. It's very common. In Texas it's called a materialman's & mechanic's lien. Here in Florida it's just the lien law, but I bet if you worked with a reputable contractor, you actually signed some paperwork that included language about the lien. I had a circular driveway put in 2 months and one of the documents of the contract was the Lien.
