Yep, having built luxury homes myself and bought a few now, production home building is by and large full of problems. I am pretty sure I documented here all of the issues we had on our new home down here south of Ballantyne, it took me filing a BBB complaint to finally get them to fix the last of our punch list and 1 year walkthrough items. In other words, it was about a 2 year ordeal until our house finally feels sort of normal. That doesn't include the wood floors that have massively separated across our entire living room because they put an expansion joint in the middle of the damn floor slab. They won't even touch that. I told my wife when we moved in I'd probably have to end up replacing the crap wood floors they installed in there in probably 2-3 years anyway, she didn't believe me...now she does
The next home we buy I'm hoping to go through a low volume custom builder, as they just don't have as much on their plates and can put more emphasis on the quality of their work. After having spent Thanksgiving in my uncle's 10,000 sq ft. custom built mansion in Marietta, it made me realize how much more attention to detail the best of those guys put into building homes.
RJ, that sucks man. That paint definitely ain't the right color at least in those pics. I'd put that back on the painters if you can, did they paint it the wrong color or did you tell them to use that one?
