Construction Defect

Allegations of damage due to a contractor or subcontractor’s work are a regular business for both commercial and residential construction businesses.

Zarwin Baum attorneys have a wealth of experience defending general contractors and subcontractors, including framers, roofers, stucco installers, and suppliers, among others, when property owners allege that work has been completed in a substandard manner. Our attorneys work closely with experts, investigators, and remediation professionals to determine the cause of the loss and ascertain its true value.
