Exercise 14
Jack Shewmake and Jim Kelly contracted to add a playroom, hobby room, and concrete deck to Al and Lisa DelGreco's home. After the new concrete deck was poured, rain leaked into the new playroom and hobby room. Shewmake and Kelly tried to correct this, but after three months the leak had still not been corrected. Al told Shewmake and Kelly he would not make any more payments until the leak was corrected. They did not perform any more work on the house, so the DelGrecos paid an architect $1,500 to determine what needed to be done to correct the defects in the work. They paid another contractor $18,500 to correct the job. To eliminate the leak, the second contractor demolished the concrete deck Shewmake and Kelly had installed. The DelGrecos sued Shewmake and Kelly for breach of contract. They claimed they had spent $19,100 in labor and materials to work on the house, for which they had not been paid. What, if anything, should the DelGrecos recover?
