Our appliances are all Samsung, but I am guessing that no matter what brand, the contractors use the cheapest/lower models. We had so many problems with the microwave, dishwasher, etc. that we had frequent visits and chatted with the repairman. He confirmed that we had low end models that were prone to problems and noisier. We have an open concept large Iris, so the noise is continuous, but we are getting used to it. We will update to the top-of-the-line when the time comes.
I would build a designer to get what I want next time or buy from a first owner with good taste who upgraded.
Also, don't expect square corners or straight walls. While construction is relatively good, techniques and objectives are different in TV. Gramps was a Master Carpenter and much of the family worked in construction. Maybe we expect more precision... like in our home up north. BTW, we have a hip roof stucco to better handle high wind storms ..and I R an engineer! We are happy with our new home south of 44, but will do a bit more upgrading and correction than we thought.
