Get an attorney and be loud about it.You will be months doing the repairs and your house will be unlivable.Good luck.
Thank you for sharing your experience. We also have had an extremely bad experience.

Horrible designer
Delayed design
Delayed build
Major defect day of closing
Horrible cabinets - wellborn
Horrible windows - pgt
Horrible tilework - nickel
Horrible trimwork
Crooked walls
Bad knockdown and orange peel application
Scratched floors

That's just a partial list.

And we haven't even had our inspection yet.

Really affects what is expected to be a pleasureable experience moving here for the lifestyle and not being able to enjoy it because you have to stay home all day long for warranty. Can't have guests and certainly can't show them your subpar custom design house with any sense of pride.

If enough of us share, perhaps those who say warranty is great will think twice before making that general statement.
