Construction defects often lead to serious legal and financial consequences. For owners, they can result in unexpected repair costs or loss of use. For builders or developers, they may lead to litigation long after the job is done. These matters are rarely simple; the sooner they’re addressed, the better.
We help clients understand what went wrong, what’s at stake, and what to do next. A construction defect lawyer can determine who may be responsible and what legal options are available. Early action helps protect your rights, preserve evidence, and avoid procedural mistakes.

We focus on resolving the issue efficiently, whether preparing a formal claim, responding to a notice, or clarifying liability. At Reha | Goodwin | Caras, we work closely with each client to ensure that every step is timely, grounded in the contract, and aligned with state law.
Defects aren’t always visible at first. What starts as a surface issue often reveals deeper problems in design, materials, or workmanship.

Construction defect claims are fact-intensive. We assist with issues related to:
As construction defect attorneys, we partner with qualified engineers and inspectors to identify root causes and clarify responsibility under Colorado law.
Construction defect matters are governed by contract terms and state statutes. Colorado law requires that claimants provide a written Notice of Claim before initiating litigation. Strict deadlines, including the statute of limitations and the statute of repose, also apply.
We guide clients through every step, ensuring required notices are sent and legal rights preserved. If you’re responding to a claim, we review whether notice was proper and what defenses may be available based on your contract and scope of work.
Timely legal action makes a measurable difference. We help ensure the process is handled correctly and efficiently.
The nature of construction defect claims often depends on each party’s role in the project. Owners are focused on recovery and repairs, while builders and subcontractors need to understand their risks, obligations, and coverage. We represent each group with clear guidance rooted in contract terms and relevant state laws.
We advise and defend clients across the construction industry, including:
Each case starts with a careful review of documentation and circumstances. From there, we develop a legal strategy to match your specific goals and risk exposure.
What qualifies as a construction defect?
Any failure in design, materials, or workmanship that causes damage or affects performance may qualify. We evaluate whether a claim meets the legal standards under Colorado law.
Can I file a claim if the defect appeared years later?
Possibly. Colorado law applies a statute of repose and discovery-based deadlines. A construction defect lawyer can assess whether you’re still within the allowable timeframe.
Is going to court always necessary in these cases?
Not always. We frequently resolve cases through negotiation, mediation, or arbitration. If litigation is required, we’re prepared to move forward.
Who’s responsible when multiple parties work on the project?
Responsibility depends on the contract, scope of work, and the cause of the defect. We help clarify which parties may be liable.
Construction-related disputes can quickly become overwhelming. Whether you’re dealing with unexpected repairs, damage to your property, or an allegation of poor workmanship, the risks are serious, and delay only worsens things. Defects often raise concerns about liability, cost recovery, and contract obligations, all of which require a focused legal approach.
