Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Oklahoma

I have a small overhead door repair company and repaired a garage door which a contractor had damaged. In other words, the property owner of the garage was not the customer, but the contractor who broke the garage door. The contractor has now stopped payment on the check he gave me for the work due to a disagreement about pricing. Can I put a lien on the property of the garage door owner, where the repair took place, for payment of my bill, or can I only approach the contractor who hired me and was supposed to pay me and put a lien on any type of property he may have?

Put a lien on both. Include, the owner because he benefited the repair to his property and it is a permanent and fixed repair and the contractor who agreed to pay for the repair but he defaulted. Or, you can take the contractor and owner to small claims court because the owner knew or should have known about the damages to his property. .
