Construction Defect Attorneys in Houston & Dallas, TX

Choosing to have a new home or property built, rather than simply purchasing an already existing property, often requires working with contractors, architects, and construction companies to ensure that the job is done right. Unfortunately, there is no guarantee that the individuals or companies a person hires for the job will do it well. In fact, construction defects are a common issue that those who choose to have a new property built have to deal with. Construction defects can have a wide range of consequences, from causing you undue hardship to posing financial burdens, but in many situations, it may be possible for individuals dealing with construction defects to pursue legal action against those responsible for the defects.
