A residential builder completes a $250,000 home addition but the homeowner claims defective work worth $35,000 in repairs. The homeowner has paid $200,000. Under Michigan lien law, what amount can the contractor potentially lien for?

Correct Answer

D) $15,000

The contractor can lien for the unpaid contract amount ($250,000 - $200,000 = $50,000) minus legitimate offsets for defective work ($50,000 - $35,000 = $15,000).
