A lien is filed with the county clerk against a particular property at a particular address. The homeowner/s is/are free to make improvements to the house and continue to use the house and all its amenities; it's still his/her/their house. If the house at that address is ever sold, the title company conducts a search of liens against the house. Any outstanding liens are paid out of escrow.

The lien is on the house. That's one of the reasons it goes through escrow, to find out if there are any outstanding liens on it. If there are outstanding liens on the house that are discovered in escrow, the buyer can make the seller pay the liens or stop the sale of the house, but if they are not found, the lien still exists and the buyer has to pay them after the house is in their name. Escrow is a good thing although it is time consuming and costly.

The rules regarding mechanic's liens, or contractor's liens, vary from state to state. You need to check in your jurisdiction for the rules in your state.
