Open Question: Should I get a new inspection?
I just bought a brand new house in September ‘09. It passed inspection of course with flying colors (being brand new) but it has lots of problems. My door frames are not “in square”. The weather strips don’t keep out the cold. You can feel the wind when you walk by and they have been replaced by the builder twice. Where ceiling and walls meet, the 90 degree angle is becoming a curve and in some places the tape under the paint has peeled away to reveal a 1/2 inch gap between drywall “wall” and ceiling. Where every piece of drywall meets and there are nails…you can see the seam and there is a paint crack going all the way down the walls. There is a small hill above every nail in the drywall. Our counters have moved away from the walls about 3/4 inch. The driveway has about 25 chips in it and small holes as well as the concrete porch. We didn’t notice any of this when we did the walk through. But it didn’t take much time for it all to appear. Not to mention, all the s/d construction trash is in front of our house. They call it a barrier so nobody goes on the property where they will build more houses in two years. This “barrier” includes brick, wire holders, wood platforms, pieces of steel, concrete blocks, a big wooden wire barrel thing….our builder thinks we are naive b/c this is our first home and we are young and tells us all this is normal and seems to have everyone that comes to fix things wrapped around her finger. Any advice? Should I have an outside inspector come and inspect before my 1 year warranty is over?

Open Question: Bad House Repairs updates..?
I posted a question a couple of days ago. About a bad home repair in my MIL house. As per contract, the scoop of work includes, remove and replace damage flooring in kitchen and bathroom. Our complain was the kitchen sub-floor is not level. It’s sloping in the middle. The size of the kitchen floor is 10×9. The sloping area is off like and inch an a quarter. The inspector from county licensing office here in South Carolina said yes it’s off. But they have to pass the work from their inspection, and saying the contractor didn’t apply permit on replacing floor.(Only for works done in the crawlspace. He lied in his permit). Now what can we do? We know a quarter of and inch off is ok. But 1.25 inches? Who we can turn to besides suing the contractor? Please I need sensible answers.
In the contract, there’s a part where it says careful leveling of the floor. But he said it’s only for bathroom part. He was hired for two reasons, to fix the sloping floor which is sloping in the beginning and there’s water and termite damage.

Voting Question: Home warranty not covering water damage?
After living in my house for almost a year i notice that the floor under my toilet was very spongy. I noticed the toilet wobbled a little when we were doing the initial walk through and home inspection, but was told this wasnt a problem. After I made this discovery last week I called my home warranty but they said they would cover fixing the toilet but not the damage to the floor. Is there a way I can go back on the home inspector or anything about this. The plumber that came to the house said this damage was not caused in just a year and the inspector should have noticed it. Please help with any suggestions..
