Littleton Construction Defect Lawyer
Littleton offers a diverse housing market—charming historic homes in Old Littleton, newer subdivisions near Ken Caryl, and custom homes along the foothills. But whether your home is an older property recently flipped or a new build, hidden construction defects can threaten your investment, safety, and peace of mind.
At Hollington Law Firm, we represent homeowners in Littleton facing foundation problems, water intrusion, structural defects, and more. We help you hold negligent builders, contractors, flippers, and developers accountable and pursue the compensation you deserve.
Why Littleton Homes Are Prone to Construction Defects
Littleton presents several risks unique to its geography and development trends:
1. Aging Homes and Flips in Historic Littleton Many homes in downtown Littleton and surrounding neighborhoods are decades old and have undergone cosmetic flips to appeal to buyers. These flips often prioritize surface-level updates while leaving outdated electrical, plumbing, or structural systems untouched.
In our article, Common Types of Construction Defects, we explain how cosmetic renovations can mask critical defects like failing foundations, moisture damage, and structural deterioration.
2. Hillside and Expansive Soil Issues Near the Foothills Homes in Ken Caryl, Roxborough Park, and other western Littleton neighborhoods face unique geotechnical challenges, including expansive clay soils and hillside building conditions. Improper grading, inadequate drainage design, or poor soil stabilization can lead to foundation settlement, retaining wall failures, and slope movement.
3. Rapid Development in New Subdivisions In areas like Sterling Ranch and Chatfield Farms, developers have rapidly built high-density homes to meet demand. Unfortunately, rushed construction schedules can result in defective framing, water intrusion, or improperly installed roofing and siding.
If you’ve noticed cracks, sticking doors, sloping floors, water stains, or musty odors, these could be signs of underlying defects. Don’t ignore them—acting early can save you thousands in repairs.
How Hollington Law Firm Helps Littleton Homeowners
We handle all types of construction defect claims in Littleton, including:
Foundation Movement and Structural Defects: From minor cracks to serious structural shifting, we investigate whether poor design, inadequate compaction, or construction shortcuts caused your foundation problems.
Water Intrusion and Mold: Littleton homes are vulnerable to improper grading, faulty roof installation, and poorly sealed windows and doors, leading to costly water damage and mold. Our article, Best Practices for Documenting Construction Defects in Colorado, provides tips on gathering the evidence you’ll need for your claim.
Roofing, Siding, and Exterior Defects: We pursue claims for missing underlayment, improperly installed flashing, and defective siding that allow moisture infiltration.
Mechanical System Failures: Flips and rushed new builds often feature defective plumbing, electrical code violations, or improperly installed HVAC systems.
We start by investigating your defects, preserving evidence, and helping you comply with Colorado’s legal requirements for construction defect claims.
Navigating Colorado’s Construction Defect Laws
Colorado law requires homeowners to follow a Notice of Claim process under the Construction Defect Action Reform Act (CDARA) before filing a lawsuit. This process gives builders and contractors an opportunity to inspect and propose repairs.
At Hollington Law Firm, we ensure you meet these legal requirements without compromising your rights. We’ll guide you step by step through inspection demands, repair offers, and the strategic decisions that follow.
Our article, Understanding the Costs of Hiring a Construction Defect Lawyer in Colorado, also explains what to expect financially if you pursue a claim.
Colorado’s statute of limitations is generally two years from when you discover (or should have discovered) the defect, with an absolute deadline of six years after construction. These deadlines are critical—delaying action can forfeit your rights.
