Bruce, you had some serious bad luck. Most new construction here has minor repairs in the first year. The biggest issues are with the lawns and drainage and good luck getting home warranty to do anything about that.

Yes, the homes go up incredibly fast. TV and its builders have it down to a fine art. Since they don’t like coming back and doing more than minor touch ups, they do their best to get it right the first time. Succeed more often than not. If you decide to move, don’t be afraid of a new build. What happened to you is rare.
