|---|---|
| Complained of an apparent water leak coming in from the attic. Took them 10 days to respond. | They dismissed it without even going up for a look. |
| The grout in part of the floor in the master ensuite was not actually grout, but plaster. Any contact with water would cause it to dissolve. | They sent out two guys to fix it, but the new grout was not done right, and rubs off onto your hand if you touch it. As well, they put bright white grout down, while the grout on the rest of the floor is beige. |
| Nail pops in the drywall. We probably have about 100. No exaggeration. | No |
| Defective thermostat causing the furnace and air conditioner to turn on and off rapidly. | No |
| Sagging bedroom ceiling. | Probably not |
| Towel rack fell off bathroom wall. | Fixed myself |
| In the garage, they installed the hose bib (valve) right where the car door swings, not on the back wall like a normal hose. | Yes, but only after posting it on their Facebook wall. And they insisted that the house was designed that way, though the correct location was actually marked on the garage wall in blue spraypaint. |
| Hardwood floor is not tightly fit in many spots. You can see the unfinished side underneath. | Probably not |
| Every bead of caulk on the baseboards and counter tops has split. | Probably not |
| Many walls and ceilings do not meet at 90 degree angles. Very obvious in tiled areas, where it can be seen that the wall is not parallel to the grout lines on the floor. | Probably not |
| The corners of most of the window and door casings were not cut to make a perfect 90 degree angle, so there is a 1mm gap in most corners. | Probably not |
| Crack in laminate kitchen counter top. | Probably not |
| They installed a stove electrical outlet in the laundry room, so I could not hook up the dryer. | Replaced after a week |
| All rough-ins for phone and TV cable were just open holes in the walls, no blank plate covering. | Covered myself |
| Phone/TV rough-ins and electrical outlets that are mounted on the same stud have a 1.5" difference in height. | Probably not |
| Clumps in the paint. | Probably not |
| Terrible light fixtures. Overstock from the early 80's. The builder "Monarch" puts in nice fixtures. | No |
| About 10 kitchen cabinet doors have paint gaps along full length of the inner edges. | Probably not |
