Would Change
Small details missed thoughout home, trim on garage is doen poorly cut short and doesnt meet, "unfinished" Basement had dry wall that was has ass done and if we finish the basement will have to rip it all out, refused to replace, now creates more work for home owners, basement vapor barrier completely cut in # of spots, was told would be replaced as it was admitted done wrong, but instead when when to re do it was only patched and not very well to the standard I would expect for a brand new home, also took over a month to get done. not all repairs and fixes are complete from our move in list and have been moved in for almost 2 months. wanted to add on a deck or stair case before purchasing, but was refuesded to be able to add on even thought we were happy to pay the added costs. was considered not a option.
