The plaintiff contractor sued the defendant homeowners for the unpaid balance of a contract to build the shell of a log home, registering a construction lien against the property.
The defendants counterclaimed, alleging numerous construction deficiencies, incomplete work, and Building Code violations.
After a seven-day trial involving multiple expert witnesses, the court found that the plaintiff had breached the contract through poor workmanship and unauthorized deviations from the plans.
The court reduced the plaintiff's claim by the cost of necessary repairs and awarded the defendants damages for delay, resulting in a net judgment for the plaintiff of $30,595.63.
