Homeowner and Condominium Association Lawyers

During the first years of a new residential development's life, owner associations are often controlled by builders and developers whose goal is to limit the repairs they are required to make. When control is turned over to the residents, the property owners are typically left with both the problems and the repair bill.

Sullan² Sandgrund, Smith & Perczak, P.C. is one of Colorado's leading construction defect litigation law firms serving condominium, townhouse and homeowners associations. From offices in Denver, we represent homeowner associations throughout Colorado.

Working Towards Lasting Solutions for Construction Defects

Our attorneys work hard with homeowner associations and their consulting experts to get construction defects permanently fixed so the problems don't return. We warn our clients to avoid band-aid or cosmetic approaches that fail to address the underlying problems.

We can help homeowner association boards identify highly qualified and experienced construction experts and engineers to evaluate problems, needed repair alternatives and estimated costs. We will help you deal with emergency repairs while your lawsuit is in progress.

Before seeking remedies through litigation, we advise our clients to attempt to resolve problems with builders and developers through other means. Litigation can be a costly and time-consuming process. Often negotiation is a more cost-effective and efficient way of resolving construction defect problems with a builder.

Effectively Communicating with Association Members

As effective communicators, we are able to explain the issues and alternatives to association members as necessary. We can address the concerns of members at board meetings before and after any legal actions, and we can draft litigation updates for association members.

Addressing a Wide Range of Construction Defects

Our law firm has represented thousands of condominium, townhome and homeowners associations in Colorado seeking damages for residential construction defects such as:

• Soil and slope instability and geologic hazard problems
• Real and artificial (EIFS) stucco failure
• Water intrusion and building envelope failures
• Roof failures
• Underground drain failures
• Design errors
• Poor workmanship
• Building material and product failures

Our Fee

Our goal is to give homeowners the house they were promised. We handle almost all of our construction defect cases on a contingency fee basis. Unless we recover compensation for you, our attorney time costs you nothing. Please note that under Colorado's ethical rules, even with a contingent fee the client may be liable for certain court costs.
