Stucco repair in Greenville
About one home in five in the Greenville metro went up in 2010 or later, and more than a third since 2000, Census estimates show. If your stucco house is one of those, it comes with a legal clock worth knowing about.
South Carolina law sets an outside limit on claims over a defective improvement to real property: eight years after substantial completion. On a new house, the certificate of occupancy counts as proof of that date. On work done to an existing house, the building official's final inspection does, unless you and the contractor agree on a different date in writing.
That makes year six or seven a good time to take a hard look at a newer stucco house. Stains that weren't there before, soft spots or cracks that keep growing are worth having checked while the clock is still running. Look up the date on your certificate of occupancy so you know where you stand.
The same law gives you something to ask for on new work. A building permit has to tell the owner, in bold type, about the right to contract for a guarantee that runs past eight years. If you're paying for a full re-coat, ask whether the contractor will put a longer guarantee in writing.
