July 12, 2024 – Hiring a contractor to work on your home comes with a reasonable expectation of professionalism and quality work. If something’s not right, you expect it to be fixed. That wasn’t the case for our client, who was sued when the contractor damaged their roof.
The homeowner, in this case, hired a construction company to install a new roof. Unfortunately, the installation was improperly executed, causing significant damage to our client’s property. Despite our client reporting the problems and requesting repairs, the construction company insisted on completing the project without fixing the defects.
The company then threatened to place a lien on our client’s home if their balance wasn’t paid within a week.
When the company filed a lien on the property and a lawsuit, the homeowner turned to Robinson & Henry for help. We countered with our own lawsuit, which included construction defects. The judge dismissed the company’s lawsuit and the company was forced to remove the lien and pay our client damages for all the trouble.
