[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You want examples, here there are:

All pipes make noise in the house (hot water for every bathroom)
Floors are making noise and sinking after only a few months
Doors are not closing, door hardware doesn't lock correctly
they install heat pumps (that can't weather lower temperatures than 32 degrees) in areas where you need furnaces
caulking all over the house is breaking, same with wood trims
shower doors break up all the time

these are only a few......

Here is what they did for me

All pipes make noise in the house (hot water for every bathroom)
I don't understand this one I don't have this issue

Doors are not closing, door hardware doesn't lock correctly
Every new home will have settling after the wood shrinks. This is an easy adjustment you can make or have them come out to fix. They adjusted some frames and fixed this for us, DH went around to adjust the strike plates.

they install heat pumps (that can't weather lower temperatures than 32 degrees) in areas where you need furnaces
We have a heat pump on the second level and a gas furnace on the first. The heat pump upstairs will activate the electric heat strips if the temperature drops more than 2 degrees below the thermostat setting. DH wanted more control and installed a special thermostat which senses the outdoor temperature and if it is below 32 shuts off the condenser and only runs the heat strips.
This is a common thing with heat pumps not specific to this builder.

caulking all over the house is breaking, same with wood trims
Again, with new homes wood shrinks as is dries out. They came back and reacaulked twice and also patched / repainted areas of hairline drywall cracks

As for the shower door, frame-less can have issues and they had replaced one of ours when it broke.

All of the above issues are not anything unique with that builder.
