Chapter 558 Construction Defect Attorney in Stuart, FL — Louis Law Group

Florida's Chapter 558 Construction Defect statute provides homeowners with a formal process to pursue claims against builders, contractors, and developers for construction defects. If your Stuart or Martin County home has structural defects, water intrusion, roof failures, or other construction-related damage, Chapter 558 provides a path to recovery. Louis Law Group represents Florida homeowners in Chapter 558 claims and related property damage disputes.

What Is Chapter 558?

Florida Statute Chapter 558 (the "Construction Defect" statute) requires homeowners to serve written notice of construction defects on the responsible contractor, developer, or design professional before filing suit. The contractor then has 45–60 days to inspect and respond with an offer to remedy, monetary settlement, or denial. If no resolution is reached, the homeowner may then file suit.

Common Construction Defects in Martin County Homes

  • Roof installation defects causing leaks and water intrusion
  • Improper waterproofing of foundations, balconies, and exterior walls
  • Stucco defects causing cracking and moisture penetration
  • Window and door installation failures
  • HVAC system design or installation errors
  • Structural deficiencies in framing or slabs

Chapter 558 vs. Homeowners Insurance Claims

Chapter 558 claims against a builder or contractor are distinct from first-party homeowners insurance claims. However, both may apply simultaneously — construction defects may also trigger insurance coverage under your homeowners policy or the builder's general liability policy. Louis Law Group can help navigate both paths to maximize your recovery.
