I'm on my 3rd "new build" home, and it always seems to take a couple of years of settling before the nail-pops and hairline cracks in the drywall show up. It is usually an inexpensive cosmetic fix that wouldn't be covered beyond the one-year builder's warranty. However, if you believe that you have a more serious structural issue, then you certainly need to seek professional advice.

To be specific, it is the taped seams in the garage ceiling. Some of them are only craked but some are starting to come loose. The drywaller I talked to said they will eventually fall. He said the whole ceiling will have to be retaped and finished and then repainted. I think this is a little much for the warranty department to expect the home owner to have to redo when the home is only a couple of years old. The group that put the drywall up are out of business now. I was told that several of the homes they did had to be redone but happened within the first year. Sounds pretty suspicious to me.
