Yes, in most states electrical subcontractors must send a preliminary notice to protect their mechanics lien rights. This is especially important when you don't have a direct contract with the property owner.
Deadlines vary by state, typically ranging from 10-30 days after first furnishing labor or materials. For example, California requires notice within 20 days, while Florida requires it within 45 days of starting work.
In many states, no. Missing the preliminary notice deadline can forfeit your right to file a mechanics lien entirely. This is why sending notices on every job is critical for electrical contractors.
