Must read for new homeowners especially new builds

Welp, here goes our biggest problem. Theres a slope on our masters floor, from the bed area to the bathroom — between the doors, and had to tear the whole carpet and replace the floors 😭

Definitely get an inspector before closing AND before your 1 year warranty expires (new build). Some problems can still occur months after closing, so make sure to get a last inspection before the warranty ends.

... Read moreHomeownership can be daunting, especially for new builds. One major aspect to be mindful of is the slope in flooring, which can lead to significant repair needs. Hidden issues may not be apparent immediately, so it’s wise to conduct thorough inspections before and after your purchase. Engaging a qualified home inspector can help identify potential problems that could arise, such as structural discrepancies or faulty installations. It’s crucial to take advantage of your one-year warranty, ensuring any underlying concerns are addressed promptly. Additionally, maintaining open communication with your builder is essential. They should be willing to assist with any concerns that arise within the warranty period. Joining homeowner forums can also provide valuable insights from others facing similar issues. By being proactive and informed, you can protect your investment and enhance your new home experience.
