Sabatini and Associates, LLC Attorneys at Law :: Newington :: Hartford :: Connecticut

The ten year housing boom has produced an increase of serious defects. Some of the serious defects are as follows: foundation cracks, sagging floors, leaning walls, water damage, roof leaks, excessive heating or cooling bills caused by leaky or improperly connected air ducts, shorting or dead outlets, and doors and windows not properly installed.  What is causing the sharp rise in home construction defects: greed.  The quicker the home is built the more money the builder stands to make.  Unfortunately, in the rush to make more money, corners are cut and inferior materials are used.  The lawyers at Sabatini and Associates, LLC have represented many homeonwers who have been victimized by contractors who failed to construct their home or addition in a workmanlike manner.  If your house contains serious defects, feel free to contact the firm so that we can provide you with your legal options.

Attorney James Sabatini has filed a lawsuit on behalf of a homeowner for damages suffered after the home improvement contractor abandoned the job site and failed to refund the homeowner monies received for work not performed.  The lawsuit filed in Middletown Superior Court alleges multiple claims including breach of contract and unfair trade practices due to the fact that the contractor failed to provide the homeowner with a contract that complied with Connecticut’s Home Improvement Act.  Under the Home Improvement Act, contractors are required to include certain langauge in the contract including language setting forth the homeowner’s cancellation rights.  Failing to materially comply with the statute constitutes an unfair trade practice that exposes the contractor to double damages, attorneys fees and costs.
