Concerned, we just had a general contractor do a horrible job and he obtained the certificate of occupancy July the 3rd. 2021. Upon moving in we had water enter our home from the backyard damages estimated 4,500 to correct and unknow what the correction will be to excavate and correct lay of the backyard. We discovered plumber failed to exit the vent through the roof, it was left in the attic. (We have corrected this ourselves). He failed to ensure proper framing was done as we discovered upon moving in that a complete dormer was omitted. We knew a window below the dormer was but we didnt make a big deal due to it being already framed and would have caused a slow down on our build ( had we noticed the missing dormer at that time, we would have felt very differently about this error.) He also had to tear out 30 % of the driveway because he failed to confirm location of water lines from home. He claimed that he was covering the error when they redid the section. Lots more its embarrassing that we let him roll on but we didn't get concerned until the build was 80% done and we had our old home under contract. He is askinf US for an additional $28,000! When I add his invoices up the total shows we should have a balance of approximately $21,000.00 left in our build account! We have an attorney but havent had a one on one with him yet. Does this Builder have a right to file a lien on our home?
If you have an attorney, you should address this question to him or her. Open communication is very important for a successful attorney/client relationship.
