(B) In any action for rescission, revocation of the transaction must occur within a reasonable time after the owner discovers or should have discovered the ground for it and before any substantial change in condition of the subject of the transaction.
(C) Any owner may seek a declaratory judgment, an injunction, or other appropriate relief against an act or practice that violates this chapter.
(D) The court may award to the prevailing party a reasonable attorney's fee limited to the work reasonably performed, if either of the following apply:

(2) The home construction service supplier has knowingly committed an act or practice that violates this chapter.
