Hence needlessly cheating yourself out of doing something you might like to do. It is all about statistics and luck of the draw. Once upon a time in the major appliance industry the goal was to get the complaint rate DOWN TO one per 125 units.....

Yes, every single one was taken care of which would have made this thread a lot shorter had that fact been noted in the original submission. But the post did provide an opportunity for non expert experts to to criticize the The Villages, a favorite pastime for some. So we have that.

We had our house built (2013, we bought the lot and built). We were up North, and TV sent photos of the construction weekly. House was completed in 80 days! We were very happy with the overall construction. About 11 months after the house was built, we had a home inspection (Frank DeAngelo) who found a few items that needed correction. He contacted home warranty and all repairs completed in 2 weeks. All of these were minor with the exception of some missing insulation in a vertical wall at the lanai. The problems that we had with the house in the following years have all been low voltage wiring (alarm system, built in speakers, and garage door sensors) and in all cases the wiring connections were not done correctly. (I am a retired professional electrical engineer with a lot of experience in low voltage wiring.) I had some of this 'repaired' under warranty, the rest I did myself.
On the bright side, we had NO damage during IRMA only 2 bottle brush trees fell over and I was able to re-stake these, so bottom line, very happy with the construction.

16 months and just a few minor fixes found by DeAngelo boys, same with all of the neighbors on our street. I'm happy with the quality of our home and would not hesitate in buying another one. Our builder was actually an employee of TV, many of them are private companies that are building who I'm sure want to make a decent profit on each home and might try to take a few shortcuts, TV employed builders are most likely salary and incentives, just my guess.

Our new home that we bought back in 2007 also had problems of leaking pipes behind walls, leaking window sills, and a box of shingles left on the roof that were not discovered until we wanted to enclose our lanai. The guest bathroom tub did not drain, and we found chunks of garbage and construction debris in the pipe.
We tore out the cheap carpet to install tile, and found under the carpet were a dozen cigarette butts and some food greasy wrappers. It finally dawned on us why stains were appearing although we never spilled anything. When we took out the formica counters, we found more cigarette butts, soda cans, chicken bones, food wrappers, and lots of dead cockroaches on the floor behind the cabinets. Quality control is definitely lacking. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

Those resales are looking better after every negative post. Another added benefit to a resale is with a little homework you may be able to find out if there are any of those problem children or convicted felons living in the neighborhood. Doesn't guarantee who moves in on the next sale but at least you start out in the right direction.

Could be. And they are employed and seem to stay in their jobs. Sumter County enjoys their presence. We appreciate their efforts. It is hot, hard work for most of the year and I applaud them.

Granted, it did take place 11 years ago, BUT, it WAS a newly built house. Don't you think these things are still going on?
