I do not want him to file a lien against our house. I do not have a problem with paying the final amount as long as all of the work is complete and the items he promised are provided.
Contractors in California must first serve a preliminary notice to the owner before filing a Mechanics Lien so don't feel pressured to pay if work isn't complete.
