What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? MD - Montgomery County
We moved into a newly built house in 2005.
We have just discovered that
1. All our windows were incorrectly installed/framed and they have now rotted and need to replaced.
2. The same with our garage door
3. The siding was not installed properly (no flashing or grouting at seams and nailed incorrectly)
The end result is that we have about $40,000 plus of repairs to do.
Montgomery County Consumer protection say that as the statute of limitations /warranty is 5 years, they cannot help us.
Can we sue, or take any action against the builders?
Thank you
