LienWarden — Get paid on every job. Demand letters, lien notices and deadline tracking, drafted and delivered.

The cost of a missed date

Miss the lien deadline and your security for payment is gone.

Lien deadlines vary by state and run on the clock of each project's first and last furnishing — buried in job files, not your calendar. Then the date slips, the lien window closes, and you're an unsecured creditor chasing money you already earned.

Lien rights forfeited

Miss the recording deadline and your mechanics lien is invalid — you lose your security interest in the property and your only leverage to get paid on a job worth tens of thousands.

50 states, 50 clocks

CA's 20-day preliminary notice, TX's monthly notices, FL's 90-day lien window — every state computes deadlines differently from project dates. One wrong assumption and the claim is dead.

Unsecured and unpaid

Without a valid lien or bond claim you're at the back of the line behind the bank. Slow-pay owners and GCs know it — and the leverage that gets invoices paid quietly disappears.

How it works

Set it once. The agent watches — and escalates.

From a project's start date to a delivered demand letter takes about three minutes. The ladder runs friendly reminder → demand letter → notice of intent → lien paperwork, and in our experience most balances resolve before anything is recorded.

Add your project

Enter the state and your first/last furnishing dates — LienWarden applies that state's lien rules and seeds every preliminary-notice, notice-of-intent, recording, enforcement and bond-claim deadline.

The agent monitors

LienWarden recomputes every deadline daily and trips an alert at 60, 30 and 7 days out — and immediately if a window is about to close.

It drafts — and delivers

When an invoice goes unpaid, the agent prepares the payment demand letter or notice in your business name from the facts you supply. You review it, then one click emails it (included) or sends it USPS Certified Mail with tracking for a flat $19.

Capabilities

An agent that collects, not just a calendar reminder.

Reminders tell you something's due. LienWarden computes the right date, prepares the document and puts it in the payer's hands.

Pricing

Flat monthly. Not $59 a notice.

Everyone else bills per document, or hides the price behind a sales call. Levelset charges $59 per notice sent. SunRay charges $35. A lien filing runs about $349. Send 20 notices in a month and that's $700–$1,180 — every month. LienWarden watches your whole portfolio for a flat fee, and you never talk to a salesperson to find out what it costs.

Start on the free plan with no card. It tracks your deadlines in all 50 states and tells you when one is close — you upgrade when you want the exact date and the documents drafted in full, with email delivery included. On any plan (free included), a flat $19 sends a letter USPS Certified with tracking — and on free accounts that $19 also unlocks the full document it sends.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Is LienWarden legal advice?

No. LienWarden tracks deadlines and drafts checklists based on general per-state lien rules. It is not legal advice and not a substitute for a construction attorney. Lien statutes change and have exceptions — always verify your specific deadline with the state statute or counsel. See our disclaimer.

What deadlines can it track?

Preliminary notices (e.g. California's 20-day notice), notices of intent to lien, the deadline to record the mechanics lien, the deadline to file the enforcement (foreclosure) suit, payment-bond claims on bonded/public jobs, and notice-of-completion response windows — per state, computed from each project's first/last furnishing dates.

How do the alerts work?

The agent recomputes every project's deadlines daily and trips an alert at 60, 30 and 7 days before each due date, plus immediately when a window is about to close. At each threshold it drafts a deadline-action notice + filing checklist and dispatches it to whoever you choose.

What is the payment demand letter?

A factual, professional demand for payment sent in your own business name — it references the unpaid invoice and notes that the statutory lien-deadline clocks are running. It's drafted from the facts you supply, you review it, and you authorize the send. In our experience the escalation ladder — friendly reminder, demand letter, notice of intent, and only then the lien paperwork — resolves most balances before anything is recorded.

How does delivery work, and what does it cost?

Email delivery is included with every paid plan: one click sends the prepared document to the payer from notices@lienwarden.com in your business name, with replies routed straight to you. It's capped at 25 sends a day per account. USPS Certified Mail with tracking is a flat $19 per letter for everyone — Levelset charges about $59 a notice and SunRay about $35 — and on a free account that $19 also unlocks the single document it sends. Certified mail may be legally required where email is not sufficient service, so check your state's service rules.

Does it file the lien for me?

LienWarden prepares the demand letters, notices and filing checklists, and delivers them by email or certified mail at your direction. The actual lien is recorded with the county recorder or state office by you or your counsel — the agent makes sure the deadline never falls through the cracks.

How does the free trial work?

14 days, no credit card required. Add a project and watch the agent compute its lien deadlines. Pick Solo, Trade, Credit Team or Enterprise when you're ready; cancel anytime before the trial ends and you're not charged.

Is my data secure and private?

Your project and deadline data is scoped to your own workspace. We process data under GDPR, UK-GDPR and CCPA. Read our privacy policy for processors, retention and your rights.

Stop chasing invoices. Start collecting.
