FAQ

Common questions

Are the lien waivers legally valid?

Yes. We use the exact statutory forms required by each state. TX, CA, FL, AZ, and NY require specific mandated language — we have those built in. Every generated document includes the state-required statutory text. That said, this is software, not legal advice — always confirm with your attorney for complex disputes.

Do I need legal experience to use this?

No. Enter your project details — client name, job address, state, contract amount — and the system assembles the correct document automatically. Built for working contractors, not lawyers.

What states are covered for lien waivers?

All 50 states on every plan. TX, CA, FL, AZ, and NY get their exact mandatory statutory forms. All other states get compliant forms with the correct language for that jurisdiction, plus the state's preliminary notice and filing deadlines.

Can I use this for my subs too?

Yes. The Contractor plan lets you generate sub agreements and lien waivers for every sub on a project, each with their specific scope and payment terms. A lot of GCs use it to require lien waivers before issuing each payment.

What is the Lien Deadline Hub?

The Deadline Hub is a single dashboard that shows every lien filing deadline across all your active projects, sorted by urgency. Red = overdue, orange = due within 30 days, green = on track. Set your last-work date on any project and your deadlines calculate automatically based on your state's exact statute.

Is my data secure?

Your project data — client names, addresses, contract amounts — is stored locally in your browser. We use HTTPS encryption for all connections. We never sell your data to third parties.

Is there a free trial?

Yes — 14 days, no credit card required. Use the full app, generate real documents, and see if it fits your workflow before you pay anything.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Cancel from your account settings at any time. You keep access through the end of your billing period with no hidden fees or penalties.

Protect every dollar
you've earned.

Generate state-compliant documents in seconds. Track every lien deadline. Never lose payment rights to bad paperwork again.
