You get what you pay for and then you get to pay again.

Never use an unlicensed contractor for any reason.

I suppose you have to pay for the concrete to get rid of the lien. I would still want to know how a cement company extends credit to a unlicensed contractor. Whoever handles their credit applications needs to find a new job. Certainly the application should have a space for the state license number, etc. I would give it to those morons.

You are expected to pay because they are too stupid to operate their business properly.
