Understanding the Common Legal Disputes That Involve Contractors Including Failure of Payment or Failure to Perform
The disputes between a property owner and those hired to perform project work, whether as construction or renovation or maintenance projects, frequently end up in court.

Allegations often include defective work or incomplete work.
Construction Law Cases Include:
Renovators
Involves poor work or alleged failure to perform.
Roofers

Landscapers
Involves design/install and maintenance issues.
Plumbers
Involves failures resulting in water damage.
Electricians
Includes defects by unlicensed contractors.
Arborists

Concerns
Construction law cases can be very challenging to litigate due to the extent of laws involves as well as the extent of evidence usually involved and the need for independent witnesses to inspect and provide expert reports as to what constitutes as proper workmanship and thus whether the trade standards or the contractual specifications for the project were met, valuation of the portion of work properly completed, among other things; and accordingly, even the seasoned legal professional may find construction law cases as burdensome to litigate. Disputes involving construction or renovation projects are often additionally troublesome as contractors and property owners alike will frequently begin a lawsuit without first obtaining proper legal advice.
Additionally, litigation arising from construction or renovation disputes often extends into legal issues beyond the defective workmanship issues and include legal concerns such as unjust enrichment, consumer protection laws, failures to mitigate, among other concerns.
