I’d get 5 acres here and hire Tony Prutch to build a replica of his newest MANSION model home that’s in Lucas. That home is on 2 acres. Homes by J. Anthony are next level!
Not only that, but another must have is a stackable washer and dryer in the Primary closet! Plus built in drying racks in the laundry room that roll out from the wall! Not everything needs to be put in the dryer!
Second dishwasher? I don't want even a 1st dishwasher. I prefer to hand wash, dry and immediately put away my dishes and cooking utensils. that way, I know they will all be available for me in the morning. And I don't want those ridiculously tall ceilings and cabinets. Why would I want cabinets up so I that I would have to use a step ladder to access the space?
Hi and thanks for the kind words. A quality builder is happy to accept an inspection repot and make the identified repairs. This is done before closing or some states call it 'settlement'. If they want you to buy it, they need to fix it. They also typically have a curb to fence warranty of at least one year. Your agent fight have to twist their arm to get them done, but usually they are happy to fix the issues. This is also why we really recommend using a quality builder vs a bad one. Have a great day!
@@brentwells4322 I really appreciate you for taking the time to reply. What if I am dealing with the America's "No. 1" builder DR horton? any additional procedures that I could do to make sure that they will fix the identified issues?
@@wrt322 DR Horton gets a really bad rap in general, but they have always addressed the defects from a licensed home inspectors report. At least for us. Have the inspector send the report to you and you send it to your agent and have them send it in to the builder and cc you on the email. If you don't have an agent then you send it in to the sales associate and let them forward it to the construction manager. Usually DR will get these fixed before closing because they want your money. Getting problems fixed after you close for the 1st year may take more 'work' on your part, but they will usually do it.

How many times do you recommend having your own inspector come out during the build process? Some will only do PreDrywall and Pre Closing, Some will visit more often for additional cost.
We are currently building this floorplan with American Legend and was curious if you thought the light from 6 canned lights in the family room, main bedroom, and game room would be too close to the fan and create a strobe effect. We like a lot of light but not at the expense of a strobe.
Its pretty subjective, due to each persons perception of strobing. Better be safe than sorry. We haven't noticed an issue if the cans are a few feet outside of the fan blades arc...
At least ALH uses this polyiso foam. It's definitely better than Dryline/Thermoply. The latter is utter garbage and has no business on a house. I do wish ALH would use ZIP system throughout the entire house though. You would lose the R3.6 exterior insulation in that case, however.
What is the water closet? Is retaining wall a positive or negative feature, and why this home got retaining wall? Thanks for showing. It is pretty house.
So if you don’t use the builders title company, or the lender and the construction company to do all three jobs who can you use? What advice can you give in regards to that?
