Legal Help for Minnesota Homeowners

• Defective workmanship (e.g., water damage, cracked foundations, faulty plumbing)
• Construction delays and missed deadlines
• Warranty violations (statutory and express)
• Building code violations
• Negligence by contractors, subcontractors, or architects
• Fraud and misrepresentation during bidding or performance

We help homeowners recover:

• Repair costs and reconstruction expenses
• Diminished property value
• Temporary housing or loss-of-use damages
• Attorney’s fees (in mechanic’s lien or consumer protection claims)
• Compensation for delay, fraud, or breach of warranty

Few attorneys know construction law. These cases often involve:

• Complicated warranties and contract language
• Multiple parties pointing fingers (builders, subcontractors, suppliers)
• Insurance disputes and coverage denials
• Expert witnesses to prove defects and cost of repair

We know how to prove fault, preserve evidence, and recover what you’re owed.

Minnesota law provides mandatory warranties for new residential construction:

• 1 year for workmanship and materials
• 2 years for mechanical, electrical, and plumbing
• 10 years for major structural defects

Even if not in writing, these warranties apply. If your contractor didn’t deliver, you may still have a valid claim.

• Drafty or leaky windows
• Sagging floors or cracked drywall
• Mold from water intrusion
• Poor foundation drainage or grading
• Misinstalled plumbing or HVAC systems
• Builder’s failure to follow architectural plans

Minnesota’s deadlines are strict. Claims for construction defects must be filed:

• Within 2 years of discovering the issue, and
• No later than 10 years after project completion

Delays can bar your right to sue. We can help preserve your claim and file on time.
