When you hire a contractor to work on your house, you don’t expect it to end in disaster. However, a contractor failing to meet the basic standard, leaving your home unfinished and unsafe, happens more than you’d think. 

From faulty foundations, leaking roofs, and improperly sealed windows and doors to plumbing and electrics not up to standard, the construction defect of a home is a very stressful situation to find yourself in. 

When contractors cut corners, not only does your home not look right cosmetically, but it becomes a health and safety hazard. Sadly, it can be the homeowner who ultimately pays the price. 

No one thinks it will happen to them, but if it does, you’ll need to know your rights.
