Legal Question in Construction Law in Colorado

Before they started work did you have a contract that stipulated that payment was conditioned on them signing lien waivers? If so, then the answer is generally yes. If you are working without a contract, you cannot just unilaterally impose conditions now.

It is a good idea to use written contracts which outline your rights for lien waivers and a certain retainage amount to protect yourself and the owner from subcontractor issues.
