Legal Support for Remodeling Contractors

Remodeling projects are often deeply personal for property owners, involving a mix of substantial financial investment, design choices, and emotional commitment. This combination can easily lead to heightened tensions and, at times, disputes. Issues often arise over budget concerns, unexpected changes, or design miscommunications, each potentially leading to disagreements. When these conflicts escalate, contractors may face delayed or withheld payments, even for completed work. Our team is here to protect your interests, ensuring you have the legal support needed to manage and resolve these situations effectively.

Remodeling work introduces a distinct set of legal challenges that contractors face more frequently than in other types of construction. Our team is skilled at addressing the typical points of contention, including:

• Project Costs and Payment Terms: Disputes over cost are common, especially when unforeseen expenses arise. We assist contractors in establishing clear payment terms upfront and help enforce agreements to prevent or resolve payment issues during the project.
• Allowance Overages and Budget Adjustments: Budget overruns can cause strain on owner-contractor relationships. Our attorneys work with contractors to document any changes to initial allowances, ensuring transparency and reducing the risk of later disagreements.
• Change Orders and Project Scope Adjustments: Remodels often evolve, with new ideas or adjustments being added as the work progresses. We help contractors protect themselves with clearly defined change orders, keeping track of these modifications and their associated costs.
• Addressing Design and Construction Defects: Disputes regarding design flaws or alleged construction defects can lead to delayed payments or claims against the contractor. Our team is skilled in defending contractors against these claims, ensuring fair treatment and quick resolutions when issues arise.
