A general contractor usually is in charge of an entire construction project. You hire a general contractor to build a home or commercial structure. He's responsible for everything it takes to produce that structure. Usually he contracts for the Plumbing and electrical work to be done by subcontractors. Often he subcontracts everything.

It depends on who you hired. Typically you enter into a contract with a General Contractor. Your contractor then hires his own subcontrators in an agreement which you are not a party. The General Contrator is responsible for all the work performed whether by him or by a subcontrator he chose to do the work. It his job to supervise the work perdormed by his sub contrators. Your claim is against the General Contrator that you hired, not against the subcontractors that he hired as you have no agreement with that subcontrator and you have no way of knowing what the terms of the agreement between the General and the Sub was.

What to do when a contractor does not want to pay a sub contractor?

A subcontractor can turn to Construction or mechanics lien law in order to secure payment. By being lien law compliant, meeting specific requirements such as preliminary notices and within time restrictions, a subcontractor can withhold payments to the primary contractor or lien the property. Lien laws are state specific and you should check your state's statutes for the requirements and restrictions. Property owners can protect themselves from these liens by requesting waivers or releases from all subcontracts and the primary contractor for each payment as well as a Contractor's Affidavit at the end of the job in exchange for the final payment.
