Ross Construction Co., Inc., Gravois Bluffs East 8-B, LLC, Southwest Bank and M & I Bank and Trustee Corporation, Inc. (collectively, “Defendants”) as against certain commercial improvements to real estate located in Gravois Bluffs in St. Louis County. The trial court awarded ABC Supply a judgment of $147,424.18 against commercial roofer G.S.R. Contracting, as well as its right to a mechanic’s lien against the improvements to the realty for unpaid principal and pre-judgment interest, totaling $122,424.18. The trial court held that ABC Supply’s lien is held prior to and superior to all other legal or equitable interests in the improvements and that the improvements should be sold at public sale to satisfy the judgment. Defendants appeal from the trial court’s judgment.
