Check the state's records and see if this guy is actually a licensed contractor. If he's not licensed, he will probably have difficulty putting a lien on the house. If he is licensed, there should be a system of penalties for improper use of liens and a potential place where you can make a complaint.

If he's not licensed, you have some good ammo to keep him from bothering you more.

Also, you said he came "highly recommended" by a friend; how well does this friend know him? Have you explained the problems you've had to this friend?
