The mechanics lien process is an excellent way to protect a contractor�s right to be paid for the work they perform. As with any legal process, the paperwork and timing issues can be a bit cumbersome. Due to the Blue Team�s dedication to the success of our customers, we have developed a state-of-the-art system to help protect that right for our customers.

To access this valuable tool, our customers need to fill out and fax in one of our �job information sheets.� Our credit department then sends out a pre-lien notice to all parties involved in the project. The pre-lien notice basically informs the owner of the property that the Blue Team is supplying material to their property through our customer. As the job progresses, the system enables us to provide lien releases and other documentation at the touch of a button. If for any reason during the project you are not paid for the material you purchased, this system gives the Blue Team the right to pursue payment directly from the owner at no additional cost to you.

This important protection is just one of the advantages of buying material from the Blue Team. When the job information sheet is sent to us, a separate �job account� is opened under your main account, so material purchased for a specific job is accounted for separately. On your monthly statement, each job will be listed and totaled separately, making it very easy to know how much you have spent on any particular project, this makes job costing a breeze.

If you would like more information about our services or have an overall question about mechanics liens, give our knowledgeable credit department a call. They are always happy to help.
