About LienShield

We believe every contractor, supplier, and tradesperson deserves to get paid for their work. LienShield makes it simple to protect your payment rights.

Why we built it

Mechanics liens exist to protect the people who build things. Contractors, electricians, plumbers, suppliers, and tradespeople who put their time, skill, and money into every project. But filing a lien is complicated. Every state has different rules, different forms, and different deadlines. Miss one and you lose your rights entirely.

LienShield was built to help with that. We handle the paperwork so you can focus on the work. Enter your project details once, and we fill the forms, check compliance, track deadlines, and walk you through filing across all 56 US jurisdictions.

We are a product of Obsidian Clad Labs LLC, a husband-and-wife team in Tennessee. No venture capital. No outside investors. Just two people trying to build software that actually solves a real problem.
