Building in Eustis
The downtown and the lakefront hold buildings and houses from earlier eras, and much of the local construction activity is renovation, restoration and the slow work of bringing older commercial space back into use. Projects like that begin with an assumption about what is behind the finishes and frequently end somewhere else.
Newer residential development has arrived on the edges of the city as growth pushes north through Lake County, which adds a second and very different construction market: production building, subdivision infrastructure and the defect and warranty questions that follow new homes.
Two markets in one town
The practical result of an old core surrounded by new development is that two entirely different kinds of contractor work within a few miles of each other. One is doing careful, slow, discovery-heavy renovation on buildings with no reliable drawings. The other is running repeatable production work on schedule. The disputes that come out of each look nothing alike, and the contracts that govern them should not look alike either.
How Ready Legal helps
Ready Legal works with owners and contractors on renovation and remodeling work as well as new construction. That includes drafting and negotiating construction contracts before work begins, and handling payment disputes, lien claims, defect claims and construction litigation when a project goes wrong.
