Texas Litigation Firm Representing Clients Across the U.S.
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. If your new home or property in Dallas suffers from construction defects, the attorneys at Grisham & Kendall, PLLC, know how frustrating it can be to deal with, and we work to help property owners get the compensation they need to fix these problems.
Aggressive With Construction Companies — Compassionate With Home and Business Property Owners
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.
