Protecting Homeowners Against Construction Defects
For many, their home is the largest investment they will ever make.  When you place your home and family in the hands of an architect, contractor and subcontractor, you want more than a hope that things will work out. 
 

Workmanship

Construction defects can cost you not only a comfortable life style but can have a significant impact on your pocketbook.  Homeowners suffer damages caused by negligent, design and workmanship resulting in construction defects to:

  • Foundations causing structural failures, cracks, and weakened structural supports
  • Drainage and waterproofing resulting in flooded basements, damaged walls, floorings, electrical wirings, and structural supports
  • Roofs and joists causing water leaks, ventilations issues, structural issues
  • Water intrusion causing mold and other toxic conditions

 

Construction Materials and Product Failures

Construction defects may be caused by defective construction materials and other

product failures or poor construction practices. 
  • Defects to shingles leading to leaking and poorly constructed roofs
  • A defective plumbing system causing severe water damage
  • Leaks in windows and doors
  • Defects in floors leading to rotten and degraded conditions
  • Defects to the outside surfaces of your home like siding and fascia
  • Problems associated with real and synthetic (EIFS) stucco
  • Problems associated with siding
