Snoopyb, I didn't say the person could win if they went to court, but they could at least present it in court for consideration. Whether or not it would change anything depends on the judge. It would be more prudent to get letters from the inspector as well as other contractors to assess the mistakes and try to prove that the job was not done properly though. If a person actually goes to the court hearing they can contest the lien. Whether or not they succeed, is again up to their evidence and the judge.
While I am not a lawyer or a contractor, I would like to know why you think it is "bologna" that the contractor would not have to use the material that the OP agreed upon using and was charged for?
I know that as a homeowner, if I paid for specific materials to be used and the contractor screwed up, I would expect them to use the same materials I had already paid for to replace it. If the job had been done right in the first place, the homeowner would still have the material they wanted and paid for.
