Mechanic's lien protection
Pennsylvania mechanics liens for residential projects require a written notice of intent to file a lien sent to the homeowner at least 30 days before filing. The lien itself must be filed within 6 months of the last work performed. Residential property liens require a preliminary notice and cannot be filed on owner-occupied single-family residences unless the homeowner signed a contract specifically allowing it. Always review contracts carefully and collect lien waivers at each payment milestone.
What catches homeowners out in Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania's Home Improvement Consumer Protection Act (HICPA, 73 P.S. § 517.1 et seq.) requires any contractor performing home improvements exceeding $5,000 per year to register with the PA Attorney General and maintain at least $50,000 in liability insurance. The law strictly regulates contracts, requiring clear start and end dates, total cost, specifications, and a 3-day right of rescission. Unregistered contractors cannot legally enforce home improvement contracts in PA courts. Philadelphia and Pittsburgh enforce additional municipal trade certifications.
