Denver Residential Construction Law Attorneys

Sullan² Sandgrund, Smith & Perczak, P.C. is one of Colorado’s leading construction defect litigation law firms . Our attorneys have represented thousands of Colorado home owners in lawsuits seeking damages for residential construction defects such as:

• Soil and slope instability and geologic hazards problems
• Real and artificial stucco failure
• Water intrusion
• Moisture envelope failures
• Fires and explosions 
• Roof failures
• Septic problems
• Underground drain failures
• Design errors
• Poor workmanship
• Construction material and building product failures
• Failing roads and infrastructure
  

Even if you are not the original purchaser of your home, you may have recourse against the builder-developer for construction defects, as well as against others who may be responsible for your home’s problems, such as sub-contractors, engineers and material and product suppliers.

The residential construction law attorneys at Sullan² Sandgrund, Smith & Perczak, P.C. will work hard to get construction defects permanently fixed so the problems don’t come back. We warn our clients to avoid band-aid or cosmetic approaches that don’t solve the underlying problem. Our law firm strongly encourages the use of "Plan B" settlement discussions involving round-table meetings of construction experts in an effort to develop a reasonable repair plan to be funded by those responsible for the construction problems.  Home owners must be careful, however, that the "Plan B" process is not misused to make inadequate repairs that will come back to haunt the owner years later. 

We can help homeowners :

• Identify highly qualified and experienced construction experts and engineers to evaluate problems, needed repair alternatives and estimated costs. 
• Try to negotiate an amicable resolution with the developer or builder without the need for a lawsuit.
• Satisfy Colorado's Construction Defect Action Reform Act's pre-suit "notice" requirements.
• Help a homeowner decide whether a lawsuit is necessary or cost-beneficial.
• Aggressively and competently pursue a lawsuit to its conclusion, including all appeals and resolution of any insurance coverage issues.
• Coordinate and schedule home inspections by the other sides' experts.
• Help deal with emergency repairs while the lawsuit is being contemplated or is in process.
• Answer homeowner questions about their case's status, court procedures and proposed settlements .

Our Fee

Nearly all construction defect cases that we agree to work on we handle on a contingency fee basis. This means our attorney time costs our clients nothing unless we make a recovery. Our fee equals a percentage of the recovery we obtain from the builder, developer or other responsible parties. (Under Colorado's ethical rules, even with a contingent fee, the client may be liable for certain court costs.) We try to ensure that after the attorneys’ fees are paid, the home owners have enough money left over to fix the problem.  Our goal is to give home owners the house they were promised.
