After a major remodeling at our condo yielded sub standard results in workmanship and additional damage common areas, he was able to recover most of the costs of repairs from the contractor and their insurance.
The project involved combining 2 condo units into a single unit with a new kitchen, wine cellar, living room and walk in closet. The general contractor installed new bamboo flooring directly on the concrete without proper sub-flooring as required by our association. They then installed paper over the bamboo to protect the flooring while they installed the custom cabinetry for the media center, kitchen and then completed building the wine cellar. After the paper was removed and the area unveiled the extent of the problems were evident. The floor was never leveled, the bamboo planks had large gaps between them, the cabinetry had gaps between them and along the ceiling.
The flooring had to be replace and installed with the required sub-flooring, the cabinets reinstalled with a few remade. The wine cellar required new doors and cooler and changes to hallway. The common area carpet was repaired and wallpaper replaced.
This was all completed with the money from the settlement. However, our time and inconvenience did not amount to much if anything.
I am not always certain that a lawyer has negotiated the best settlement or is telling everything that transpired. he always returned my calls and answered my question but a more proactive approach would have been appreciated.
