More details to this question:
I paid a down payment to a roofing business for installation of a metal roof on 10-3-17 and have a signed contract and receipt. The roof has not been installed and I have been trying for over a week to get the down payment returned. Now the guy has his phone turned off and doesn't respond to my calls or messages.

Absent a contract or statute permitting you to do so, you can't place a lien on anybody's property withut first obtaining a judgment against that person. In other words,you need to sue hte roofing business for the amount you claim it owes you and prevail before you can encumber its property.
