Also, if we find and point out problems with hanging lights and things like that in the house during the walk-through. Is the builder required to fix or replace them? Any idea why the brand new concrete driveways do not always look the same color throughout? Is this a quality control issue with the contractor?

Welcome to your FIRST New Home in TV. Right now the streets in Richmond are at least drivable.. few months ago couldn’t tell where the road and property began. As everyone has said…all newly built villages have issues with dirt..nails and more Dirt. Is your drive different colors, or different from one house to another. Different houses will be poured from different trucks. As far as mix, it’s not like the old days where where experienced driver did a good mix. Now everything is automatic. Only difference is if company had multiple locations, than the water will be different, rarely will products be different at other locations, because the buyer is purchasing for all locations. Yep sitting on a truck can make some difference, in other places, however TV is pouring more Crete in a day than most pour in weeks. Trucks pull up unload, and two lots over and continue.
Your walk through is just to make sure everything is in place. You will have a sheet of things to fix right away. Simple process your agent can help. As builds on each street are completed roads will be cleaned up. Don’t worry your area should be done in about 4 months. The custom build roads will take little longer.
You have 30 days to fix any outside landscaping or it’s no longer covered. On our first home sprinkler control box was defective. I arrived Fourth of July, 3 weeks after closing and everything that should have been green was dead. Warranty department took care of it within 2 days.
In all three of our houses we had Frank D do the inspections. We contacted him at 10 1/2 months after closing on all of our new houses. He took our punch list, and made sure everything we noticed plus what additional things he found was emailed to the villages on the same day. We will be using Frank on our custom build, his reputation is stellar.
The the warranty department will take care of contacting appropriate companies.
Take a breath it’s just a house, like any other house you have bought new. Difference is the Warranty Department staff is here and happy to help.
