Waste of time and money
Hi, when you buy a newly constructed home in the village you get a one year warranty for anything you can think of. We bought in 2019. In 2020 they changed eleven kitchen cabinet doors because my wife said the stain was not consistent throughout the kitchen. They also did some superficial concrete work. When they were unable to repair a leak in my shower which was leaking water onto the floor in front of the shower, they ripped the shower out to the studs and replaced everything new.
The warranty department is very receptive. I had an ongoing complaint that went into the next year. There was a crack in my siding on my golf cart garage which the warranty department said had to be done by my landscaper. I kept insisting that it was done by a vehicle and that it was behind a shrub installed by the villages. They sent the contractor who built the house over. When he saw the crack he agreed with me and replaced the siding within a couple of days. I have no complaints they addressed every issue that came up and rectafi it.
We are building in Shady Brook and will be closing in November. The wife wants to get the home inspected when we close on the home and I want to wait until closer to the one year mark. So I would like to know what others have done about getting an inspection on a new build . Was it worth it or a waste of time. No matter what we decide to do we’ll still get the home inspection before the first year is up.
