I need more facts. Florida's Construction Lien statute is very specific in its prerequisites and what is required before a lien is filed. If done incorrectly, the lienor may be liable for attorney fees and costs. (see, Fla. Stat. 713.29, and 713.31). Furthermore, although materialmen are entitled to construction liens, I am not sure if you as the manufacturer would. If you would like to discuss the issues further, you may contact my office at (305) 769-3000.

Sextion 713.75 would not apply since the tile is no longer personal property having been afixed to the house. Sec. 713.06 might apply. Good luck.
