Construction Defect Disputes and Litigation

Attorneys at Schaffer Herring PLLC have experience representing parties in commercial and residential construction defect cases.  Our attorneys have litigated a wide range of construction defect cases, from residential construction disputes involving $200,000 homes to commercial construction disputes in excess of $10 million.  Some of the cases our attorneys have litigated include disputes involving alleged structural defects, alleged defective Exterior Insulant and Finish Systems (EIFS), water/moisture intrusion, and alleged violations of applicable building standards (International Building Code, National Electric Code, and standards published by the National Fire Protection Association).

Attorneys with the firm have particular experience representing homeowners in residential construction defect cases. While a home can be a valuable and treasured asset, a home with structural defects can quickly become a major liability.  A purchaser of a new home may encounter problems caused by the negligence of the contractor or subcontractors. Or, a purchaser of a previously owned home may encounter issues that the prior owner knew about but failed to disclose.  Our attorneys understand the issues involved in such disputes and take pride in assisting home owners resolve these emotional and expensive issues.
