The bane of most buyers of new-construction homes is the punch list, the list of repairs to be completed by the builder prior to or the first year of ownership. To help homeowners in with building defects, the Construction Defect Center has launched an affordable service to repair construction punch list items.
Homeowners who purchased a new home in a single-family home subdivision or a custom home in the last two years that came with workmanship-or construction defect issues-that the builder never repaired are eligible. The homeowner must possess e-mails or documentation that prove they did everything possible to alert the builder about the workmanship issues/construction defect issues within their one-year warranty period.
“We have been assisting homeowners nationwide with construction defects for nearly two decades and typically the problems all started when the new homeowner’s home builder failed to fix the home buyers punch list of repair items, or the homebuilder ignored issues related to obvious workmanship or defective materials,” said the Construction Defect Center. “Some of these repairs might cost thousands of dollars or more-and in our opinion the homeowner should not be stuck with the bill. We are now offering a new homeowner in a subdivision or custom home anywhere in the U.S. an affordable service to try to get the homebuilder back in their home to repair construction punch list repair items that the homeowner identified to the home builder during the one-year home warranty period, along with other possible construction defect issues that have popped up since then.”
If the center can help, it charges $225 up front to contact the homebuilder to try to get a date and time to get their representative back in the homeowner’s home to see the issues to see for themselves and schedule a time for the repairs. The center will contact the home builder directly, copy the homeowner on all our correspondence and do everything in our power to try to get the issues resolved.
The center will attempt to assist with defects such as: windows or doors that do not open or close properly, roof leaks and improperly installed shingles, plumbing pipe issues, cracked or warped interior crown molding, interior cabinet doors that do not open or close properly, warped or cracked exterior siding or stucco, first floors or basements that flood, interior wood flooring that is warped or cracked, appliances that do not properly work and drainage issues on the home’s exterior.
“We will not spend more than four hours to get this accomplished,” the center cautioned. “If we are not successful with the home builder, we will try to find a law firm to assist the homeowner in their state. We are not a law firm, and our efforts are not an attempt to practice law.”
