Frequently Asked Questions

When should I hire a construction dispute attorney?

If your home has construction defects, faulty repairs, or issues with a contractor, it’s time to seek legal advice.

What types of construction disputes do you handle?

We help homeowners with construction defects, contractor negligence, breach of contract, warranty disputes, and unlicensed contractor claims.

What if my contractor won’t fix defective work?

If your contractor refuses to address defects or incomplete work, you may have legal remedies. We can help you hold them accountable.

How long do I have to sue a contractor or builder?

Deadlines vary, typically between 4 to 10 years. Acting quickly protects your rights and preserves evidence.

Can I sue an unlicensed contractor for poor workmanship?

Yes. Unlicensed contractors are strictly liable for poor work. We can help you recover the costs of repairs and damages.

Who pays if defects cause damage to my home?

Contractors and builders can be held responsible for property damage caused by defective or negligent work. You shouldn't have to pay for their mistakes.

Do you handle disputes involving home warranties?

Yes. If a warranty company denies your claim unfairly, we can help you enforce your rights and get necessary repairs covered.

Can I still sue my builder if I bought my home several years ago?

Possibly. California and Arizona have extended timelines for construction defect claims. We’ll help determine if your claim is timely.

What if my builder used substandard materials?

Builders who use defective or substandard materials can be held liable. We’ll help you recover the cost of replacing faulty materials and repairing damage.
