In most situations in NJ a suit for money damages can be brought within six years of the date of the breach of contract. However, a NJ contractor's right to file a lien runs out 90 days from the date of the last work on the contract. Additionally, if the construction is residential (as here) the contractor must apply for arbitration before the lien can be filed and that can back up the deadline another 30 days or more. So, if you are a contractor or a first level sub, you should be very prompt about asserting your lien rights. After that, you can be more relaxed about bringing a money suit.
