The attorneys at Herrig & Vogt understand construction. We have worked in construction and managed construction projects. Our law firm is focused on construction issues.
What does our experience mean to you as a homeowner? We can often get to the heart of the matter right away because we know construction and we know what causes construction defects.
- Balconies, decks, tiles: When a balcony or deck is built above a room, or when tile is installed, improper installation of a moisture barrier can allow water intrusion. That can lead to a weakening of the structure.
- Foundation issues: If concrete is not poured properly, the walls lose stability as the house settles. The first sign is usually cracked drywall joints above the windows.
- Doors and windows: When flashing is not properly installed, especially in sliding glass doors, water intrusion may be the result.
- Stucco problems: When the surface has not been properly prepared, or when moisture barriers were improperly installed, stucco may begin to show signs of erosion.
It usually takes a while before a problem manifests itself with cracks, stains, mold or other signs. You need to act quickly before the statute of limitation runs out. Talk to a lawyer, understand your rights and work for a quick resolution to construction defects.
