After an insurance job, multiple finish issues appear.
Hellmuth & Johnson attorney, Blake Nelson, discusses workmanship issues on insurance projects in the latest issue of Wood Floor Business.
“It is not uncommon to find workmanship issues on insurance projects, because often all parties involved seek the least expensive option for performing the work. People often ask whether the insurance company has any responsibility in these situations. However, legally there are two different contracts in place: the insurance policy between the homeowner and the insurance company, and the construction agreement between the homeowner and the contractor. So even if the insurer referred the contractor, the insurer has no liability for defective work.”
