Builders Cutting Corners On New Builds

Chris G.
Posted

We just got a new construction for a rental and it’s crazy how many things the builders cut corners on. Most of this neighborhood has been built within the past year and now at around 150+ homes. For example almost all the trim pieces in doorways are cut too short and there’s a cm gap at the bottom, you can see pencil lines drawn on the tile, paint chips on parts of the way, etc. personally we don’t care since it’s a rental but most that live in this neighborhood own the home so if they did these things on all the homes that’s pretty sad. Guess that’s what happens when they need to build them fast.

Most builders have a 1 year warranty on ALL work that was done. Make sure you take advantage
