What drives the cost of contractor disputes in Birmingham

  • Fee structure: hourly, flat fee for a demand letter, or contingency where allowed
  • Amount of money involved and the extent of the defects
  • Whether a construction lien has been recorded
  • Need for expert inspection or repair estimates
  • Whether the case settles or goes to court
  • Court filing fees and costs, separate from the attorney fee
  • The age of the home: the typical Birmingham home was built around 1960, so older materials, lead-safe rules and hidden damage can add time

Before you hire in Birmingham

Lead-safe work rules apply to most homes

The typical home in Birmingham was built around 1960. Painting, window, siding and remodeling work that disturbs paint in homes built before 1978 must follow the EPA lead-safe (RRP) rule. Ask any contractor for their RRP certification before work starts.

Older plumbing and sewer lines

50% of homes here were built before 1960, when cast iron drains, clay sewer laterals and galvanized supply pipe were standard. A sewer camera inspection before buying or remodeling is cheap insurance.

Permits: check with the Birmingham building department before work starts.
