When you put time, money, and effort into a construction project, you want to make sure it is done right. Whether you are building your first home or developing a commercial site, construction defects can be dangerous and costly. At the Wilmington, NC offices of Shipman & Wright, L.L.P., we protect the rights of homeowners and property owners in construction defects litigation.
Our firm represents homebuilders, developers, and other parties who have been negatively affected by construction defects in both commercial and residential construction projects. The increase in development in the greater Wilmington area has led to more construction projects — some of which have featured leaking roofs, cracked driveways, and faulty foundations.
We understand that your house or real estate project is one of your most important investments. It is up to you to take action and protect that investment from day one. We handle complex construction litigation involving faulty materials and other facets of the design, including stucco litigation, toxic mould, water infiltration, and overall bad construction.
In addition to representing individual claims in North Carolina, our firm handles local and national class action construction defects suits. We have built a tradition of excellence based on getting results for our clients, including one national case involving stucco litigation.
As Wilmington is in a hurricane zone, many people specify their construction projects to be built with proper roof ties, foundations, and other precautions. If a hurricane comes and your house suffers serious damage, the insurance company may claim the house was not built properly. We will help you evaluate your claim and make sure the negligent party is held responsible.
