QUESTION

alleged contractor doing poor quality

Asked on Apr 02nd, 2013 on Residential Real Estate - Colorado
More details to this question:
we bought a home which had been "renovated" and after we moved in, found that many of the updates are done wrong, some even affecting my health. The tile is all coming up and breaking, they installed the carpets before they did the drywall and all the dust is still in the carpet after a year of intense vacuuming, the drawer faces are falling off, the gutters are rotting and other things. The wiring may be hazardous as well. It turns out he is not a contractor as he claimed and he did not hire licensed contractors or pull permits to do the work on this house. What is our recourse against the man who did the work? I don't know if this falls under Consumer Fraud, Product Liability, Real Estate issues or what, so I will guess Real Estate. if not, lease correct for my lack of knowledge.

John, You have possible fraud and tort claims.  Obviously, we would need to get into significantly more detail about the exact problems and the expense of repairs or health problems created to know how to proceed.  Can we find this "contractor" in the state of CO?  Does he have assets from which to pay a judgment when we win?  I'll be happy to spend some time with you to discuss your case in detail in a free consultation.  Just call Susan, our receptionist, at 303-688-0944, and ask to schedule a consultation with Don Eby.
