Homeowner v. Contractor: Defective Insulation and Breach of Contract

The case concerned a dispute where a homeowner sued a contractor for defective exterior insulation work, claiming the insulation was poorly installed, leading to moisture infiltration and premature deterioration of the facade, and sought damages for the cost of remediation. The appellate court, confirming the initial judgment, found that the expert report established a causal link between the contractor's recognized non-compliance with professional standards regarding the installation of the insulation system and the subsequent damage observed. Consequently, the court held the contractor liable for breach of contract and ordered them to compensate the owner for the necessary repairs to rectify the construction defects.
