Is poor workmanship or materials a breach of contract in San Diego?  Providing a poor quality product or inferior services under an agreement may indeed constitute a breach of contract.  In these cases a lot depends on the terms of the agreement, any communications between the parties, and the steps taken once poor workmanship or service was identified.
If you believe poor workmanship or materials or the services provided do not meet the quality specified in the original agreement, you should take several steps:

• Communicate your concerns in writing – clearly identify the area(s) of your concern to the other party and the expectations you had based upon the agreement in question
• Allow the other party the opportunity to “cure” the situation.  This may cause frustrating delays or business disruption, but the failure to allow the other party to fix the problem may limit your options downstream.
• Document everything – take pictures of the inferior work or otherwise document the poor service or quality of performance.  We will need to demonstrate the material breach of contract if you wish to hold them accountable and recover the damages for having to hire someone else to fix the problem.  Document all of the correspondence between you, the party in breach, and all other parties that become involved in solving the problem.  Record all costs and time associated with the efforts to resolve the problem, and photograph the finished product (if any).
