Be an Informed Homeowner

Under the law, if your home was sold after January 2003 you must contact the homebuilder first so they have the opportunity to mitigate any legitimate construction concerns. Homeowners are often unaware under California law there are multiple home warranties covering more than just the original homebuyer.
Remember there are alternatives to unnecessary lawsuits.
When attorneys are approaching your neighborhood looking for participants in lawsuits make an informed decision:

  • Contact your homebuilder first to solve your problem.

  • Personally speak with your neighbors and/or homeowner association to discuss alternatives to litigation, such as meeting with your homebuilder.

  • Assess your situation and make sure proper maintenance has been performed on your home and any problems are truly construction related.

Do not forget to clean out and inspect your home’s gutters and down spouts twice a year to make sure they operate as intended.
