Builder Ordered to Pay $812,000 to Homeowners

[ptradmin]

What if you build a house for a client... and that home's foundation moves, say, an entire foot. Would you fix it if it were within the warranty period? It seems like that's one of things you have to gamble with when working in California. Well, we don't know the specifics, but plaintiffs, Neal and Kerie Turner, purchased their home in 2005, which, according to the suit, it began showing signs of movement and damage shortly after they moved into the home. A warranty claim was made with the builder, Phipps & Company Homes, but the builder refused to repair the damage. According to the suit, the plaintiffs pleaded for more than a year to have the problems addressed. Evidence proved the foundation had moved close to one foot and required extensive repairs. A Texas jury has awarded over $800,000 to the homeowners.
