Your Sacramento Roofing Contractor and Lien Releases

The Yancey Family, Serving Sacramento Since 1888

Just like most construction projects, your Sacramento roofing contractor may file a lien on your home before the start of a project. Find out how you may end up paying twice the amount of a project.

What’s a lien?

It is common practice among construction companies to loan the materials and the labor costs for a project. The final payment from the client is then used by the company to pay off all loans. A lien is filed on your home to ensure that all loans are paid off.

In the event that a loan has not been paid, the suppliers or contractors have the right to file a claim on your home until all debts have been paid off. Shady companies capitalize on the fact that liens can still be filed even if you’ve paid in full. There have been cases where homeowners receive claims from suppliers and workers after the payment has already been made to the company.

Lien releases

To protect yourself from getting scammed by less than reputable contractors, be sure that you get a lien waiver from any party who is eligible to file for a claim on your home. This way, you are released from any claims after you have made the payment.

Different lien waivers apply to different payment methods. In Sacramento, the most common are:

Conditional Waiver And Release Upon Progress Payment
Unconditional Waiver And Release Upon Progress Payment
Conditional Waiver And Release Upon Final Payment
Unconditional Waiver And Release Upon Final Payment

A licensed and certified roofing contractor ought to be able to explain to you which type would best suit a project. These are especially useful for progress payments. For peace of mind, be sure to choose an experienced roofing contractor to do all your roofing projects.

“I need a total bathroom remodel, and everyone at Yancey has been a delight to work with. All my questions have been answered, the choices of materials were abundant, and Scott guided us expertly through the process one step at a time. I would highly recommend them!”

Laura Powell

“Yancey was awesome to work with. My estimator was Brian Speaks, and he made the entire experience simple and enjoyable for us. There was no high pressure sales, and Brian went out of his way to make sure we got exactly what we wanted and needed. His pricing was fair, and he helped us get financing right on the spot. If I would provide more than 5 stars, I would.”

Ryan Calderwood

“Tommy was very helpful in explaining the roofing process and itemizing the pricing. He was upfront and honest about policy and interpreting the contract for my mother and I. We are a house full of women and we are always worried about being taken advantage of price-wise but we were not treated that way. Thank you for the excellent service and stunning new roof!”

Caroline H

“I chose Yancey for my reroof because of their business longevity. They've run into every situation imaginable and Brian addressed these concerns in the contract. Being told in advance is an explanation, being told after the fact is an excuse. They gave no excuses. The team working was always on time and did exceptional quality work with dry rot repair. The roof looks great and I expect it to work well for years to come.”
