I need some work done on my siding, I called american siding and an estimator came out and looked at my house and gave me an est. I told him I was also getting a new roof he said his company did roofs as-well and gave me a bid. When looking at the bids I noticed for the roof it said JC roofing I questioned him on that and he said american siding had decided to make them two separate entities. He asked for 55% for materials to start and the balance due upon completion. He said to make the check to him personally because the company would reimburse him, Garth Strader Spokane WA. He measured the roof wrong and also needed to purchase new vents because I noticed no new vents and we already discussed all new vents. It was another 600.00. I wrote him the check not wanting to but the owner of the roofing company told me to cancel it. I paid the roofing company the balance due and Garth was not happy. He is not part of JC roofing and JC roofing is not part of American Siding. Garth said he is going to put a mechanic lien on my house for the 600.00. JC roofing said he was fraudulent in what he did and the materials he did buy he bought under JC Roofing account and didn’t pay the taxes. Can Garth legally put a lien on my house? My house is free and clear also if that matters. I am a single women first time homeowner. Any feedback would be appreciated, I agreed to meet with Garth later in the week and want to be informed when speaking with him. Thanks to any response.
