If I have contract to build and install wrought iron, can I take it off if once installed if they don’t pay me?
I received 1/2 down to buy materials and the other 1/2 when job is finished. Now job is finished and I’m afraid to install because the lady is acting like she has no money. If I install and she doesn’t pay me can I remove windows and doors or I have to go to small claims court or do I put a lien on her house?
