Re: Home builders not living up to contract

Yes, there are things that you can do, but you should discuss this with the Attorney that handled your closing. The are statutory warantees that may be still in effect and there are contractual warrantees that may exist. I would speak to the attorney that did your closing or, if that attorney is unwilling to represent you in this case, seek another attorney. You can also file a complaint with the Department of Consumer Protection, but I would speak to an attorney first with all the paperwork you received at closing. Tom Noonan
