Hello - we did an addition to our home in San Diego, California that was completed in June of 2019. Beginning last year in February 2023 we started having a lot of issues with the construction quality, things like leaking windows, leaking roof, siding popping off, possible foundation issues, possible mold, etc. This winter with the most recent round of rains the situation has only gotten worse. Before we began the project I had asked the General Contractor for a copy of their insurance and verified it was active. I recently contacted the GC's insurance about making a claim and we have not been able to make any head way with them. It was suggested we find an attorney and sue them and/or the GC. So my questions are:
Is there a statute of limitations in California for how long we have to be able to sue the General Contractor and/or his insurance on a single-family residential project?
Is it typically possible to have an attorney assist/guide with preparing a suit on an hourly basis or partial contingency with a construction defect type case?
Attaching a redacted copy of the original agreement we had with them just as reference, thank you!
