Since you obviously do not have a contractors license --- the job you did was free to the customer. You have no rights in court for recouping for work done. The customer has no obligation to pay you. And you stand to loose everything you own if the customer decides to sue.

Certainly. An oral contract is not signed and can easily result in someone doing work on your property (or delivering materials) for which non-payment will result in a lien.

Yes, you can have a lien placed on property for breach of contract. It doesn't have to be associated with the property, but a judge has to approve it.

Can a neighbor place a lien on your property for cutting the grass?

A neighbor cannot place a lien on your property for cutting the grass unless he has a written agreement with you stating that you will pay him to cut the grass. There would then need to be a breach of that agreement and the neighbor would need to obtain a court judgment in his favor. However, in most jurisdictions, a town can order the clean up of a derelict property and record a lien for their costs.

Can a subcontractor sue a contractor for nonpayment?

Yes under contract law a subcontractor can sue for breach of contract. However subcontractors should become familiar with the state's construction or mechanics lien laws which grants them the right to lien the property to secure payment. Many states have preliminary or warning notices that must be served on the property owner(s), lender(s) and primary contractor within a specified period in order to secure lien rights. Do NOT lien a property without valid lien rights since you risk a multitude of retaliatory lawsuits.

Can a contractor place a lien on your property if the work failed to repair the problem and the contractor inflated the bill?

Sure and the contractor will file if you refuse to pay as long as your local statutory requirements are met and if the contractor thinks it did a good job and didn't breach the contract - but then it sounds as though you have at least two defenses: breach of contract for bad work (assuming the contract called for a level of work that this fell below) and excess billing (assuming the contract was for a specific amount and/or did not allow for additional charges due to unforeseen circumstances and you may have been at least told additional work was required). A lot will depend on the words in the contract.
