Can you put a lien on an unlicensed contractor who is paid in full and doesn't finish the job?
Legally, yes. Whether or not his license status would create problems of a different nature would depend on the laws of the state where he does business. Of course if he were getting paid "off the books" he probably would want to consider the consequences of taking an oath in a court of law before filing a lawsuit. A unlicensed illegal contractor cannot sue you since he or she is illegal. Something illegal cannot be the subject of a lawsuit. California Business & Professions Code Section 7031 allows you to recover all compensation paid to an unlicensed contractor for work done during four years prior to the filing of law suit. Make sure you file before the four year anniversary of the illegal work. Answer It is true that an unlicensed contractor cannot sue to recover "compensation." However, an unlicensed contractor who is considered a "developer of mass produced housing subject to claims for strict liability" could sue a subcontractor for equitable indemnity type claims. Furthermore, there has been no case interpretation on whether or not you can recover monies paid to an unlicensed contract when you knew at the time of entering into the contract that the contractor was unlicensed. At least one noted construction law attorney has opined that a homeowner might be prevented from recovering the compensation in such cases.
You are hiring a carpenter for a house remodel Do you need to get workmans comp insurance?
You should hire a licensed contractor. He should already have liability insurance and workmen's comp for his employees. If you do not hire a properly licensed contractor, all the liability for anything tha might go wrong falls on you. If your insurance company discovers that you hired an unlicensed contractor, they could, and probably will, deny payment on any claims you may file. Tread cautiously!
