I just wanted to see if any current homeowners that have had their homes constructed this past year are experiencing any quality problems with their houses.
I have a Taramore over on 135th under construction that is 3 months behind schedule (almost 1-1/2 increased points on the reserve...) and have been following construction and am concerned.
The plumbing when tested had leaks all over the place, there is daylight visible at various places between foundation and studwalls, nails from the siding that completely missed their intended studs, squeaky floors (on a engineered truss system...), a structural column hanging off into nowhere under my structural basement floor, and various other areas that seem less-than-ideal...
Anybody out there seeing similar situations or that have moved in and have been encountering any quality control problems?
This is my second Village Home, and the first, though smaller, seemed put together much more carefully. I understand the market and the shortage of labor, but when you are plunking down $400K, it would be nice to have some comfort of thought behind having twice as much of a house to have the potential for twice as many problems...
Thanks,
