Hollington Law Firm, LLC

Parker Construction Defect Lawyer

Parker is one of Douglas County’s fastest-growing towns, attracting families and professionals seeking quality schools, scenic neighborhoods, and proximity to Denver. But rapid residential development also increases the risk of construction defects—and many Parker homeowners are discovering problems their builders should have prevented.

At Hollington Law Firm, we help Parker homeowners hold builders and contractors accountable for defective work, unsafe construction, and code violations. If you’re facing foundation cracks, water intrusion, structural problems, or other construction defects, don’t wait until it’s too late. Our team will fight for your right to repairs and compensation.

Common Construction Defects in Parker Homes

Douglas County’s notorious expansive soils create serious challenges for builders. When builders cut corners—failing to properly compact soil, install proper drainage, or engineer foundations to withstand movement—homeowners are left with costly repairs.

In Parker neighborhoods like Stonegate, The Pinery, Clarke Farms, Canterberry Crossing, Stroh Ranch, and Idyllwilde, we’ve seen common defects, including:

  • Foundation movement and cracking: Soil heave and settlement cause uneven floors, sticking doors, wall cracks, and basement leaks. We discuss the underlying soil risks in Expansive Soils in Colorado: What Homeowners Need to Know.

  • Drainage and grading failures: Improperly sloped lots direct water toward the foundation, leading to flooding, mold, and erosion. Builders sometimes ignore drainage plans to save costs. See our article 5 Ways Builders Cut Corners at the Expense of Homebuyers to learn how these shortcuts happen.

  • Retaining wall failure: Many Parker subdivisions use retaining walls to manage elevation changes. Poor engineering or construction can cause retaining walls to crack, lean, or collapse.

  • Stucco cracking and water intrusion: Builders sometimes fail to properly install flashing, weep screeds, or sealants, allowing water to penetrate exterior finishes. Left unaddressed, water intrusion can rot framing and foster mold growth.

  • Roofing defects: We’ve assisted Parker homeowners facing improperly installed shingles, missing underlayment, and leaky valleys, especially after heavy storms.

These defects aren’t just cosmetic—they affect your home’s safety, livability, and resale value.

Your Rights Under Colorado Construction Defect Law

Colorado’s Construction Defect Action Reform Act (CDARA) imposes procedural steps before a homeowner can file a lawsuit. Under CDARA, you must:

  1. Serve a Notice of Claim to your builder, outlining the alleged defects

  2. Allow the builder a chance to inspect the defects

  3. Give the builder an opportunity to offer repairs or settlement

Skipping this process could bar your claim. Also, strict deadlines apply: you must assert claims within 2 years of discovering the defect and no more than 6 years from completion of construction (with certain tolling provisions).

We explain these time limits and notice requirements in detail in Understanding the Costs of Hiring a Construction Defect Lawyer in Colorado.

What Should Parker Homeowners Do If They Suspect Construction Defects?

If you suspect construction defects in your Parker home:

  1. Document everything carefully: Take dated photos, videos, and keep notes of when defects appeared or worsened.

  2. Avoid major repairs until consulting an attorney: Some repairs can interfere with the builder’s inspection rights or weaken evidence.

  3. Call an experienced construction defect lawyer early: Don’t wait for the builder’s warranty to expire or for deadlines to pass.
