Dispute Between a Homeowner and a Contractor in San Diego

Resolving a Dispute Between a Homeowner and a Contractor in San Diego

It is not unusual for a dispute between a homeowner and a contractor in San Diego to arise over the course of a substantial home improvement project.  There are several reasons why disputes develop between the parties including:

  • Disagreements about the quality of work or the quality of materials
  • Payment Disputes
  • Failure to complete work in a timely manner
  • Vague Written or Verbal Agreements or Contracts
  • Issues with Draws
  • Release of Mechanics Liens

If you are involved in a construction dispute it is important to resolve the matter quickly and keep the project moving forward.  Most contractors work diligently to complete projects on-time and on-budget.  However, a dispute between a homeowner and a contractor in San Diego can quickly escalate and disrupt the entire project.  The quality of materials, workmanship, and timely payment schedules should be clearly established in a detailed construction contract prior to the beginning of the project.
