Newly purchased home in May. Early within 30 days found a few things myself, then sent list to construction services and they sent workers out to check/fix things.

A couple small divots/tears in the vinyl floor. 2 bulbs missing in chandelier. Outlet in garage sprinkler box loose. Scratch from tape on counter. Also the GE fridge was warm on the sides and not freezing anything so was referred to the GE help # for their guy to check it out. All have been taken care of.

I asked a few questions from each worker who came out and they were happy to share info. The sprinkler guy mentioned there were some flickering light problems that they were fixing on the newer homes and says they resolved many of them but suggested possibly leaving a few lights on for a few hours to make sure they're okay. Others gave advice on care of their product. Floor guy told me he would use floor sliders for under the reclining couch & chair for protection because reclining back could eventually scratch the floor. So I got them.

I'll consider the advice in this thread on an inspector for within the year.
