Advising Homeowners Regarding Construction Contracts
Typically, construction contracts are drafted by contractors or their attorneys with language that is unfavorable and unbargained for by homeowners. When property owners sign these agreements without understanding the terms, they are often surprised that the language that they agreed to in the contract can limit their rights if something goes wrong. It is important for homeowners to understand their rights and responsibilities under these agreements and to seek counsel if they are unsure of the meaning of the terms. Ideally, this would happen prior to the agreement being signed by the parties. We have experience consulting with property owners regarding their rights and potential remedies both before the agreement is signed. If you already have a contract and need to consult an attorney regarding your rights in the event that the other party is not upholding their end of the bargain, we do that too.
