Construction Defects

There are thousands of Texans that have fallen victim to bad builders and flawed construction. Many of them never fight back because they don’t know their legal rights. The Deceptive Trade Practices Act was put in place to protect consumers from businesses that engage in false or misleading acts.

We specialize in helping homeowners who are experiencing the effects of construction defects. If you are experiencing signs of a significant construction defect in your home, such as a leaky roof, shifting foundation that results in cracks in walls, plumbing leaks, mold infestation, discoloration of paint, water intrusion, structural cracks, material defects or design flaws you may need the services of an experienced consumer rights lawyer who can conduct a detailed review of the situation, products, materials and parties involved in the development of any faulty construction. Our expert legal representation can help you recover damages and the cost of repairs of your construction defects.

Foundation Defects

Soil movement and improper cement pouring can cause cracks in walls, doors unable to open or close properly, separation of joints and uneven floors. You might even notice large cracks or shifting of your plaster or drywall. When a negligent homebuilder builds a house on a bad foundation which causes the house to shift or fall apart either through substandard workmanship or contractor negligence, you are going to need an experienced constructions defects attorney in San Antonio that can help when the developers and or builders have already moved onto the next project and leaving you high and dry.

San Antonio Attorney Bryan A Woods is available for a consultation and can explain your rights and options. Call us today at 210-824-3278 or schedule a consultation below.

Builders

Bryan Woods is an exceptional lawyer. He took on a very large builder of new homes whose motto was “We don’t buy back homes, we sell homes”. Bryan represented my husband and I and at least eight or nine of our neighbors. Our new home and the other homes in this new development had major foundation problems and Bryan secured “buy backs” for us and for our neighbors, which was an amazing feat. He is methodical and smart and experienced, and he knows how to build and win cases by using experts to evaluate the problems. He is also accessible and available for questions. I have no hesitation in recommending him.
Barbara

Awesome Lawyer

I am so glad I found this lawyer. My dispute with the builder of my home yielded no results until I went to Mr. Woods. I find him dependable and trustworthy. Always received an answer by text or phone call for any issues I had questions for. This dispute has been resolved and I am very grateful how this was handled.

Dream Retirement Home Disaster Made Whole

We hired Bryan because we were having problems getting our contractor to fix our house that was having numerous issues with plumbing, electrical, roofing, paint, etc. The contractor would not fix our issues in a timely manner and his workers failed to show up many times, brought the wrong repair items or were not capable of making most repairs in a professional manner. After months of delay by our contractor, Bryan took action to bring our problems with our contractor to an end by getting us a good settlement which will allow us now to hire a professional building contractor to finish the jobs that our primary contractor failed to do. We would highly recommend Bryan to anyone having building contractor problems — he gets things done quickly and expertly.
Steve

We are really glad we had him on our side.

Retirement Home Disaster Averted

I built a house fully expecting it to be my cozy retirement home base. Unfortunately , within a few months of moving in, there were cracks in the walls , cracks in the foundation . Despite wrangling with the builder, there was no satisfactory resolution . I consulted one lawyer who was unable to help . I then talked with a well respected local attorney who said Bryan Woods is “the man” . He contacted me within 24 hours even though he was on vacation, and proceeded to make a case . He was thorough , encouraging , and persistent . My retirement home disaster was averted and I was “made whole by the builder”. Thank you Bryan Woods!

Bryan vs Goliath- A True Champion & Homeowner Advocate

In 2016, I purchased my first home. It was a newly constructed home that I truly thought was going to be my forever home. Unfortunately, within a couple of months of living in the new home the interior and exterior of the home started to show signs of significant defects. Working with the builder to resolve the issues with my home proved to be fruitless, and I was left feeling distraught, powerless, scared, and hopeless. With nowhere else to turn, I was finally referred to Bryan Woods for help.
Bryan Woods provided me with sound legal advice, he was honest, and he believed I had a good case against the home builder. Bryan did warn me it would be a long and tough battle to win- David and Goliath tough. However, Bryan’s determination and experience gave me hope against all odds. Bryan truly believes in holding builders accountable and wants to see them do the right thing for the homeowner.
As an attorney, you won’t find anyone better. Bryan was responsive to my questions, he listened to my concerns, and he took the time to make sure I was kept up to date on my case. Bryan is meticulous, detail oriented, and driven to win. After almost two years of long hours dedicated to my case, I am thrilled to say that it was worth the fight because HE WON MY CASE!!! The outcome of my case was better than I could have hoped for, and I was able to walk away and not look back.
If you are in a situation like mine, don’t wait. Call Bryan. He will do what he can to help you, and hold the builder accountable, if needed. You will not be disappointed, and you will have an advocate on your side fighting for you and for what is right. I would highly recommend Bryan Woods.

Outstanding Attorney!!

Very Professional! We had issues with out builder and went to see Bryan. From the first meeting, Bryan was able to set us at ease and explain the elements of the process with us. He walked us through everything, taking time to explain how the law applies, as well as a thorough evaluation of our case. With many years of experience representing clients who had similar complaints against builders, Bryan was able to give us a no-nonsense and objective view of the case. His guidance, knowledge, expertise, and calmness helped to keep us focused on what was important. He is the consummate professional and really cares about his clients. He never failed to communicate with us including returning phone calls, emails, texts, etc. In a word, he was there for us from day 1. I would highly recommend Bryan to anyone who needs a competent, intelligent, and honest attorney for issues of construction law and builders.

Our Philosophy

Our philosophy is to aggressively pursue your case with an eye toward obtaining a good resolution. Generally speaking, we prepare the cases to try them - that way if the other side does not make a realistic offer you are ready to try the case. We have collected millions of dollars for our clients that have been victims of shoddy construction, foundation defects, water-related issues, unscrupulous real estate agents, inept inspectors, and non-disclosing sellers. Our clients have won the vast majority of the recent cases we have tried. 

We believe that good communication with a client is important; therefore, we attempt to return all phone calls, e-mails or other inquiries from the client within 24 hours. Our clients receive copies of written documents (correspondence, pleadings, etc.) that we transmit related to the dispute. We do this to keep you informed regarding the status of your case. One of the leading complaints regarding lawyers is their failure to timely and adequately communicate with their clients - if you hire us you will not have this problem!
