Default D'Angelo Inpects Non-cosmetic

I did use D'Angelo inspection for my 10 month inspection. He said warranty told him to stop reporting cosmetic defects on the cabinets. D'Angelo Inspections concentrated on inspecting areas I had not already reported to warranty since I had so many; defects like insufficient insulation in attic, cracked stucco, etc.

So it is crucial you report cosmetic defects in your first seven days because even D'Angelo can't help in that regard.

Frank D'Angelo was kind enough to submit the tile issues to warranty, but warranty has backed out of the promise to fix the wall tile issues on my remaining two showers. They will redo most of the shower floor tile, but I've been told by several contractors that destroys the waterproof barrier. I guess I'll have to fork out the $30k to have the showers repaired properly. Meanwhile, the tile has been painful to stand on for over a year.
