Construction Defect Attorneys in Houston & Dallas, TX

Choosing to build a new home or commercial property—rather than purchasing an existing one—often involves trusting contractors, architects, engineers, and construction companies to do the job correctly. Unfortunately, there is no guarantee that every party involved will meet industry standards or comply with building codes. As a result, construction defects are far more common than many property owners expect.

Construction defects can lead to serious and long-lasting problems, including structural instability, safety hazards, and significant financial losses. While some defects may appear minor at first, they often worsen over time and require costly repairs. In many cases, property owners may have the right to pursue legal action against the parties responsible for the defective work.

If your newly built home or property in Dallas or Houston is suffering from construction defects, the attorneys at Grisham & Kendall, PLLC understand how overwhelming and frustrating the situation can be. We work diligently to help homeowners and business owners recover the compensation needed to correct defects, protect their investment, and restore their property.

Attorney Robert N. Grisham II has extensive experience representing homeowners and commercial property owners in construction and insurance disputes. Whether through negotiations or trial, he will fight to obtain a full and fair remedy that properly addresses your construction defects.

Foundation Cracking or Other Structural Problems? We Will Investigate.
Our firm has filed numerous lawsuits and negotiated many settlements for homeowners in cases with damage ranging from the initial, premature cracking of the foundation itself to foundation heaving and settlement, roof buckling and other major structural problems, and even breaks in plumbing and gas lines.

Employing a network of qualified resources, we will thoroughly investigate possibilities, including whether:

Proper soil testing and building site preparation was performed

• Your foundation was properly designed, with the involvement of a qualified engineer
• Your building site was adversely affected by the builder bringing in fill without properly assessing the impact on the structure of your home

We Keep Up With Current Texas Housing Laws and Insurance Trends

Texas laws governing home construction have evolved substantially in recent years. Many builders provide insurance issued by a home builder warranty company. Our extensive insurance law experience enables us to determine your most likely path for recovering damages.

If you want results, we strongly recommend that you contact us as soon as you know that you have a problem.
