 | A leak in the roof filled a light fixture with water. || Yes.  After weeks of trying to get a hold of them, I find out that they sent out a roofer when we were not home.  He went up on the roof and did the exterior repairs.  No attempt to contact us about replacing the rusted fixture, painting the watermarked ceiling, or inspecting for any interior damage.

-| All phone and cable TV wires were left with only a couple feet of slack in the basement, which is not enough to bring them to the electrical panel.  This would require it to be spliced to another piece of cable to bring it to where the phone/cable company would enter the house.  This can potentially cause quality issues, as well as the joins will be trapped in the ceiling when I finish the basement. || No

-| 1mm wide crack in laminate kitchen counter top, right behind the sink. || They put a dab of silicone on it, with a promise to send a counter top person out to follow up. I'm not holding my breath. Update:  Six months later, they are finally sending someone to replace the counter top.  Update:  They replace the counter top, but the plumber broke one of the anchors under the sink while reinstalling it.  This made a large gap for water to flow under the sink.  We caught it after he left, and got him back in two days later to replace the sink.  A while later, I noticed that the cabinet below the sink was full of water.  The plumber did not tighten the connector on the sprayer hose, causing a leak.
