It caused damage during the time the initial owner resided there. That owner removed the floors and replaced them but did not replace the subfloor, did not fix the construction defect and did not disclose the issue when he sold the home two years ago. The new floors again need replacing. Can the first owner be liable for the construction defect since he fixed the damage but not the defect?</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Randy<br class=""><div class="">
