For over two decades, Rob Shainess, Capstone Law’s principal, has investigated countless types of construction defects, from water intrusion and building envelope failures to complex structural flaws.

Understanding Common Construction Defects & Minnesota Home Warranty Issues

Construction defects can manifest in many ways, sometimes immediately, and other times, years after a project is completed. We handle a wide range of defect issues, including:

  • Faulty workmanship and defective materials
  • Design deficiencies and building code violations
  • Water intrusion (leaky roofs, windows, foundations)
  • Electrical, plumbing, and HVAC system failures
  • Major structural issues

Our Approach to Construction Defect & Home Warranty Claims

At Capstone Law, we take a thorough and strategic approach to every construction defect case, led by our principal attorney, Rob Shainess:

  • Claim Evaluation: Each case starts with a thorough evaluation of the facts. Rob will work closely with you, and often with experts, to determine the merits of relevant claims and defenses and the overall likelihood of success.
  • Expert Analysis: As an experienced construction defect attorney, Rob has longstanding relationships with forensic engineers who can evaluate the source and cause of the defect, which is critical whether you are making a claim or defending against a construction defect claim.
  • Claim Resolution: Many construction defect claims can be resolved through a negotiated settlement, and we strive for this efficient outcome whenever possible. However, when negotiation doesn’t suffice, we have ample experience litigating and arbitrating Minnesota construction defect and home warranty claims.
