Secured $5 Million Settlement for HOA with Bad Contractor

A single homeowner complaint to an HOA might be easy to dismiss as an isolated issue. Two homeowner complaints of a similar nature could be deemed a coincidence. However, multiple reports of the same problem typically indicate a broader issue. 

In this case, several homeowners reported issues with water intrusion to their HOA’s contractor. The contractor asked a third party to investigate and suggest repairs. The third party found defects in the properties' design and construction, recommended repairs, and provided the HOA and the contractor with a repair cost estimate.

Unfortunately, the contractor offered the HOA a settlement that significantly undervalued the total repair costs. The HOA met the contractor’s lowball settlement offer with a firm counterproposal: $5 million for repairs or remaining liable. 

Robinson & Henry's construction defect attorneys helped our client quickly secure the desired $5 million settlement, enabling the HOA to begin much-needed repairs on the affected properties.
