I have a customer who does not want to pay even though the quality is above and beyond the contractual agreement. In order to do the work, I had to fulfill their portion of the contract as well. Now I'm stuck with material and labor costs.

First file a notice to owner of your intent to lien the subject property. Make sure you use the legal description as it appears on the deed and hand deliver it to the owner. Make sure that the owner is notified that a copy of this document will be filed in the county public records. If you still haven't received payment after 30 days, file a lien on the property. If you are a contractor, you should keep a lot of these blank documents handy.

Good Question. Although I do not know the specific answer, you might want to check the link below for additional information. I also suggest you head over to the local city hall where the property is located in person. Find out what the requirements are and make sure you get answers to your questions. If you dont, make sure you get refered to people who will know.
"A lien can be created on any real estate by registering your judgment with the land records office in the county in which the debtor’s real state is located."

Take them to court and get a judgement against them. Then getting a lien is an additional, separate procedure.

Start with a visit to the local clerk's office in the county where you did the work, they can tell you what to do.
