If they are not then you can certainly be held liable to pay for them even though you were under the impression that the "job" meant everything included. That's no excuse. In most states there still exist many interesting variations of the old "mechanic's lien"- and if you don't think such a lien is tough, you're mistaken! You pay up or...
