Hollington Law Firm, LLC

Aurora Construction Defect Lawyer

Aurora has transformed over the past two decades from a suburban community into one of Colorado’s largest and fastest-growing cities. But as thousands of homes were built in neighborhoods like Saddle Rock, Tallyn’s Reach, Murphy Creek, East Quincy Highlands, and Southlands, some builders cut corners to keep up with demand—leaving homeowners with serious construction defects.

At Hollington Law Firm, we represent Aurora homeowners facing foundation problems, water intrusion, structural issues, and other defects caused by negligent construction or poor workmanship. If you’ve discovered defects in your home, we’re here to help you protect your investment and hold your builder accountable.

Why Construction Defects Are Common in Aurora

Aurora’s boom was fueled by large, national builders developing entire subdivisions rapidly to meet demand. This “speed over quality” approach often resulted in:

  • Improper grading and drainage planning in sprawling subdivisions

  • Minimal oversight from stretched city inspectors

  • Widespread use of subcontractors with little quality control

  • Expansive soils on Aurora’s eastern plains, poorly mitigated in foundation design

For example, we’ve assisted homeowners in East Quincy Highlands dealing with water pooling against their foundations because builders failed to install adequate swales and drainage systems. Or homeowners in Murphy Creek who discovered cracked basement walls just two years after closing.

In Aurora, defects often stem not from a single mistake—but from systemic shortcuts across entire developments. We discuss how builders prioritize cost savings in 5 Ways Builders Cut Corners at the Expense of Homebuyers.

Common Construction Defects in Aurora Homes

We’ve helped Aurora homeowners address:

  • Foundation settlement and cracking due to expansive clay soils and insufficient soil prep

  • Improper grading leading to water intrusion in basements and crawl spaces

  • Roof leaks from missing underlayment, poor flashing, or rushed installations

  • Stucco and siding cracking allowing water penetration

  • Structural framing issues (misaligned load-bearing walls, undersized beams)

In high-density developments like Saddle Rock and Tallyn’s Reach, defects may also include shared drainage system failures affecting multiple homes.

How Colorado’s Construction Defect Law Protects Aurora Homeowners

Under Colorado’s Construction Defect Action Reform Act (CDARA), homeowners must follow a pre-litigation process before suing a builder:

  1. Serve a formal Notice of Claim describing the defects

  2. Allow the builder an opportunity to inspect the property

  3. Give the builder a chance to propose repairs or settlement

Homeowners must also act within legal deadlines: generally 2 years from discovering the defect and no more than 6 years from completion of construction.

Missing these steps can jeopardize your case. We explain these rules in Understanding the Costs of Hiring a Construction Defect Lawyer in Colorado.

What Should Aurora Homeowners Do If They Discover Defects?

If you notice cracks, leaks, or sloping floors in your Aurora home:

  1. Document the defects thoroughly. Take dated photos, videos, and keep records of progression.

  2. Preserve contracts, plans, inspection reports, and communications.

  3. Avoid repairs before legal consultation. Some fixes can interfere with your builder’s inspection rights under CDARA or reduce claim value.

  4. Contact an experienced construction defect lawyer.
