Andy Wyman
Construction Attorney
Florida’s hot real estate market has many homebuyers either staying put and renovating their existing home, purchasing a home in need of renovation or building a new home from the ground up. The prospect of doing any of these can prove daunting. That’s where Andy Wyman and Wyman Legal Solutions in Boca Raton can help.
Wyman has more than 20 years of experience helping the owners of Florida’s finest homes hold their contractors accountable when their construction does not live up to their standards. He can assist in vetting a contractor before you sign on the dotted line. Or, if you find yourself dealing with delays during construction or defects after a project, Wyman can help.
“People go into these projects with certain expectations, but sometimes the work is not of the quality that the owner deserves and their dream renovation or home build turns into a nightmare,” says Wyman, who is rated AV Preeminent by Martindale-Hubbell.
The firm can provide advice on how to select a contractor, consult during a project should any issues arise and to make sure the right payment releases are in place to avoid potential construction liens.
Whether you are doing a major renovation or building your home from the ground up, Wyman says bringing in an experienced construction attorney from the start can save you time, money and headaches.
“It’s never too early to get a lawyer involved. The earlier you start, the more benefit you get. If you get us involved before you sign a contract, that’s ideal. Sometimes people don’t do that and it’s not until things go sideways that they realize they need help,” he says.
Florida has specific statutes dealing with construction defects and it takes an experienced and knowledgeable attorney to navigate the complex legal landscape.
Most people don’t realize that the contracts they are asked to sign favor the contractor. “Make sure you have a good contract in place and consult with a construction attorney who can help put together a contract that protects you. That’s the most important thing you can do,” says Wyman.
