Homeowner Construction Issues

California Homeowner Construction Litigation Attorney

Whether a dispute with a builder is over poor quality of work or about having a construction lien lifted, most homeowners do not understand the complexities of the construction industry and the laws that govern its actions. With decades of combined litigation experience and a thorough knowledge of construction law, The Mellor Law Firm, in Riverside, California, helps homeowners, business owners and public entities resolve their construction disputes quickly and efficiently.

Contact our law office to schedule a consultation with a construction lawyer, or call us at (951) 221-4744.

Experienced Representation Makes a Difference

From Beaumont to Los Angeles, our deep knowledge of construction law allows us to handle a wide range of homeowner construction litigation issues, involving:

  • Unlicensed contractors
  • Design defects
  • Construction defects
  • Remodeling disputes
  • Mechanics liens/Stop Notices
  • Construction delay damages
  • Construction fraud claims

Many times a contractor will file a lien against a property to enforce payment. While it may seem as if there is nothing the property owner can do, contractors must follow specific, complex procedures in order to perfect their lien against a customer. Our attorney is well versed in the construction lien process and can help determine if a contractor has followed all necessary steps to keep the lien valid.

In construction defect claims our Riverside County attorney knows how to properly evaluate the work performed to determine quality, if any short cuts were taken, if unskilled labor was used, and other evidence as to whether builders performed within the adequate scope of work expected according to licensed contractor codes. Because we also write construction contracts, we can effectively attack a case from a breach of contract angle as well.

Find Hope and Help Today

In addition to a filing a lawsuit if necessary, there are additional administrative remedies available such as filing complaints with the contractor licensing boards. No one has to put up with poor workmanship or a mechanics lien. Protect your right to quality workmanship, call a homeowner construction lawyer at The Mellor Law Firm at (951) 221-4744, or e-mail us to discuss your situation.
