QUESTION
Unsatisfactory remodel. When I wrote to the person who did the remodel, to tell him of the issues I had found, he did not offer to correct anything.

More details to this question:
Remodel took place in June 2010. Some things I have had repaired by other people, some I can\'\'t afford to replace.....like my hardwood floor that he ruined with poor installation. I have photos and an email from him saying, \"take me to court, if you want to.\" No offer to repair or refund. Is it too late to file a claim?
Thanks for your help.

The answer is, it depends. According to CRS 13-80-104, you have two years from when you knew or in the exercise of reasonable diligence should have known of the manifestation of the defect in construction to bring a claim against a construction professional. You can find a copy of the referenced statute at http://www.codla.org/secure/crs13-80-104.pdf.
If you recognized the manifestation of the defect upon completion, in June 2010, you may be out of time. If you recognized the manifestation of the defect within the last two years, you may still have time in which to bring a claim.
