Law Offices of Michael A. Hearn - One Post. Suite 200 Irvine. CA 92618 Henderson & Borgeson - 201 N. Calle Cesar Chavez Santa Barbara (County: Santa Barbara) CA 93101 Curtis W. Herron - Attorney at Law - Mechanic's Liens relate back to the commencement of the work of improvement as a whole. Many California contractors believe that the priority of their mechanic's lien is determined by when their work commenced on the project. Although that idea makes sense, it is not the case under California law. For purposes of establishing priority of other encumbrances, all mechanic's liens on a project relate back to the commencement of the work of improvement as a whole. This can be good news for a subcontractor who is concerned about his priority in relation to a Deed of Trust, for instance, that was recorded after the project commenced but before the subcontractor's work began. 323 Main Street, 2 Floor Seal Beach CA USA 90740 Bert L.
