Liability insurance is required for contractors in many states as a requisite to work.

If a job performed by a contractor is poor quality and or not finished and you withhold a percentage of the payment to compensate can the contractor put a lien on your house?
Yes. But the contractor could be sued for slander of land title, and would have to pay court costs and attorneys' fees (if you prevail in court after a lawsuit) (in WA). Since I am a construction law expert, I will lend this advise: if the work is not finished or unsatisfactory, DO NOT PAY THE CONTRACTOR ANY MORE MONEY.Instead, write him a letter describing the unfinished or shoddy work and give a certain time period (say, 10 days) to come and fix the defective workmanship. Odds are, the contractor won't do anything, in which case you're free to hire a very good contractor to finish the job. Then, the shoddy contractor may file a lien against your property (just because he can file a lien doesn't mean the lien has merit). Once the contractor has filed the lien, unless you're selling or refinancing right away, or want to "get back at" the contractor immediately, I would do nothing and wait until the contractor sued me for foreclosure of the lien (note the time period to foreclose a lien in WA is 8 months). At that time, I would retain a good construction law attorney and counterclaim for slander of title (filing a lien with no merit) and breach of contract (since you had to pay the other contractor to finish the work) with a prayer for attorneys' fees (RCW 60.08.080). In the event the time lapsed for the contractor to foreclose the lien, or if no lien is filed, you will want to see a construction law or real estate attorney to sue the contractor (look in the phone book for an attorney who will give "free consultations").
What is the possessive form of the word contractor?

What happens if a contractor does not have general liability insurance?
The contractor may not be able to qualify for jobs, as most principals require proof of insurance as a condition of the contract; this is especially true for public sector jobs. If the contractor is responsible for damage to the property owner or others who would otherwise have been within the ambit of coverage, the contractor would him/herself be liable for the damages if at fault. Further, if sued, the contractor would be liable for the payment of his/her own attorney's fees and court costs to defend the suit. In contrast, one of the benefits of general liability insurance is that the insurer pays all or most of the reasonable costs of investigation, court costs, and hires and pays an attorney to defend the insured.
