Improper Home Repairs

Improper Home Repair Law

Texas law requires that home repairs be performed in a good and workmanlike manner. Improper repairs can form the basis of a breach of contract or negligence claim.


  • Consumer protection laws: DTPA may apply to contractors making misrepresentations or failing to perform adequately. 
  • Lien rights: Contractors may file liens for unpaid work, but owners can contest defective work.
