Oddball Contractor Small Mechanics Lien

[David Greiner]

I had a new contractor do a turnover.  Half of the job was replacing blinds which he measured incorrectly so he had to return them. We later installed the blinds ourselves. He took off 2 hours of labor when it added up to around 5. We have pretty good documentation. His bill is like $700 and is threatening a mechanics lien. I'd honesty to pay him and just move on, but he's clearly at fault. I'm really not sure how he's in business. We actually felt really bad for his worker who was crying when he found he had measured and installed the blinds wrong. Never dealt with such a pathetic contractor (not the worker, the contractor). Not planning on selling the property or refinancing if that makes a difference. In State of Michigan. Thanks
