Expert Construction Defect Attorneys in Colorado
At Jorgensen, Brownell & Pepin, P.C., we have substantial experience both prosecuting for and defending clients against construction and housing defects claims.
Any deficiency in a product or service is considered to be a defect. Some construction defects are relatively minor and may go unnoticed. Others can pose safety hazards to you and others. All defects, though, should be addressed and corrected promptly.
Common Construction Defects
Jorgensen, Brownell & Pepin, P.C. and our group of highly skilled Denver construction defect lawyers have helped countless clients receive compensation for defective materials and construction methods.
Whether your situation is straightforward or complicated, our attorneys possess the knowledge and skill to guide you in the appropriate course of action. We’re ready to help you with any issue encountered during your project, including:
Deficient Design
Architects and building designers create the plans that other contractors follow to bring a project to life. If those designs are faulty, the resulting project will likewise suffer from defects.
Deficient Materials
Building materials must be of a certain quality to bear the load of a home, office, or other structure. Materials obtained from an unreliable source may not be strong enough to perform the job they are expected to do. This can threaten the integrity of the structure.
Deficient Construction
Companies must supervise their workers during construction to ensure acceptable building methods are used. Failing to follow these standards raises the risk of a defect that can cause a building to fail an inspection.
Deficient Subsurface Conditions
A poorly excavated or laid foundation can lead to uneven, dangerous flooring. It can also cause the walls of a building to become unstable and prone to collapse.
Other Common Defects
- Unstable foundations
- Electrical defects
- Structural integrity issues
- Water intrusion
- Mechanical problems
- Expansive soils
- Unsealed windows and doors
- Roof leaks
- Poor or faulty drainage
Claims We Can Help With
Defects come in all shapes and sizes. When you are facing legal action over a defect, lean on our decades of experience as construction defect attorneys in Colorado to resolve your matter swiftly and successfully.
Poor Contractor Performance
Contractors who violate building codes deliver a construction project that is of subpar value. Aside from this financial injury, such defects may also pose a safety hazard.
Liens
Liens placed on your property can be a burden and hassle to resolve. Our team of experienced Denver construction defect lawyers will help you appropriately and legally resolve claims of nonpayment and other situations that lead to liens.
Expansive Clay Soil & Foundation Damages
Colorado’s unique soil means contractors must take certain precautions when preparing foundations. Too much digging, for example, can lead to foundation problems and cracks in a building’s flooring.
Wet Basements
A basement that leaks when it rains may have a defective window or a poorly laid foundation. Such defects are major issues that threaten the integrity of the structure. Wet basements can also be breeding grounds for mold and mildew, which pose a health risk to a home’s or office’s occupants.
Foundation & Basement Damage
A defective basement or foundation can be dangerous to you and your property. Leaky basements allow water to permeate the structure, which can ruin personal possessions and lead to mold and mildew. Cracks in the foundation may eventually crumble, causing portions of the structure to collapse.
Slips & Falls Caused by a Construction or Maintenance Defect
Hazardous defects that are not corrected can lead to painful slips, trips, and falls. If these defects could have been avoided through more careful and thoughtful preventive action, the person or company that caused the defect may be responsible for medical bills and other expenses.
We’re in Your Corner
In Colorado, specific procedures must be complied with before a construction defect lawsuit can be brought to court. Failing to follow these procedures could leave you without a legal remedy.
Don’t take your chances; enlist the help of our Denver construction defect attorneys as soon as a defect is discovered. We will guide you through the recovery process.
Don’t Trust the Seller. Always Get a Professional Inspection.
No matter the assurances given to you by a seller or contractor, you should always have work inspected by a qualified professional. These inspections often uncover defects that were undisclosed or overlooked.
Mediation or Arbitration Can Be An Easier Way to Resolve a Dispute
Mediation and arbitration are two common alternative dispute resolution methods. Before you bring your lawsuit to court, the law may require you to try solving your dispute through these methods.
Do not go to arbitration or mediation alone. Consult with us, and let us prepare you for what to expect. We may be able to represent you during these proceedings and protect your legal rights.
