Therefore, check the state construction registry 31 internet website for information about the property 32 including persons or companies furnishing labor or 33 materials before paying your general contractor. 34 In addition, when making payment to your general 35 contractor, it is important to obtain lien waivers from 36 your general contractor and from persons or companies 37 registered as furnishing labor or materials to your 38 property. The information in the state construction 39 registry is posted on the internet website of the state 40 construction registry. 41 b.
