In fact, you need not even be told of the lien.
Reputable contractors will give you (or you should demand) a release
from liens.

Florida seems to be particularly creative, too:
pay your contractor,
contractor doesn't pay their supplier, supplier puts lien on _your_
house for the money owed. Want to keep your house? Better pay again
and then try to extract that money from the contractor later by
way of the courts.
this whole paragraph sounds utterly illegal...
