ZINTER, Justice.

[¶ 1.] A subcontractor sued a property owner seeking enforcement of a mechanic’s lien, or in the alternative, a claim under the theory of unjust enrichment. The circuit court awarded the subcontractor a judgment enforcing the portion of the mechanic’s lien that was properly itemized and a judgment for the remainder of the claim on the theory of unjust enrichment. The property owner, general contractor, and its bonding company appeal from those judgments and the award of attorney fees. We affirm in part, reverse in part, and remand.
