A caller from Alabama asks what to do after a bedroom floor began collapsing years after it was installed. The attorneys explain this may be defective workmanship, but timing is critical. Construction defect and contract claims often have short statutes of limitations, especially in Alabama. Key issues include when the work was done, whether there was a written contract, and whether the damage truly comes from faulty work or another cause like storms or wear over time. Waiting too long can permanently bar your claim—no matter how strong it is. If you’re dealing with possible construction defects or property damage, contact Perry & Young. Reach out if you have questions or need help protecting your rights.
