I have always felt this way too.
In Florida ANY work being done on a property MUST 1) be licensed and 2) place a lien on the property until final inspection of the work and paid in full. Contractors cannot pull a permit unless they are licensed.
That being said the Builders are responsible to pay the subcontractors, so there would be many liens on a property.
Obviously we have to PAY lawyers for shoddy work they might do, the lawyers are paid to make sure there a no incumbencies on-the property.
Raise your hand if you feel like paying for shoddy work. Everyone here KNOWS not to pay for any work to your property until you are satisfied and the work has been inspected.
Maybe the law should require the contractors AND lawyers place liens on their own property to protect people from shoddy work.
Then again WHO protects us from the inspectors? The Builders in the Villages do not care about pride in workmanship. If they did there would be really no need for these home warranties.
I looked a new home during open house in Pine Ridge, the cabinet doors were QUITE obviously not hung straight, when I said something to the agent his response was “that’s what warranties are for”. I asked if this home had been inspected. That’s when I found out, the inspectors only look at codes not shoddy work.
COME ON MAN!!!!!!!
