renovate house

I recently hired a company to renovate my house and the company went out of business during the renovation. I still have a fair amount of work to be done.

I was recently contacted by the owner of the company and told that he needs to get the materials out of my house or 84 Lumber will put a lien against my house. The material was to be used for a deck.

I already paid the contractor, Case Handyman, for the materials. I do still have the final payment to finish the project, about $10,000.

Can a vendor, such as home depot, lowes, etc. really put a lien against my house for material purchased by a contractor for home renovations? This is in Maryland.

Thanks!
