New Home

UPDATE: FEB 2014
I wanted to give an update on everything with my home, as I think it is fair to follow up with any good or bad.
The warranty department has been excellent to deal with. Cara will get back and follow up with any concerns I have within 24 hours business days. All the comestic stuff have been fixed and touched up. The outside facade painting will be done obviously in the spring and I still have the sod to go in at that time too. There was some issue with the HRV duct but it was looked at quickly and I have an appointment to have it fixed. I want to give kudos to Landmarks' warranty inspectors, they do a great job of explaining everything to me and I always have TONS of questions that they patiently explain and answer. I have one more inspection come summer.
I have bumped up the rating, the only complaints I had was with the length of time to build the garage, was completed in November, 3 months after I moved in. This was due to the contractor being very far behind, but these things should be already planned on schedule from when I signed the papers. The other being, their paint contractor, I found the job done poorly and sloppy (my neighbors had the same problem).
This is my perfect starter home and plan on living it for years to come. I know that no new home will be perfect and there will be some hiccups, but it is up to how the builder handles things and treats you that is the most important thing.
==============================================
Aug 2013

I am happy with my new home.
Was my first time building a home and I was very worried, but from Bernard on the sales team (who ans
wered all my e-mails promptly) to the site supervisors and my final walk through I was impressed.

It has been just over a month since I moved in and I've only found a few issues.
1. Around baseboards the painters did not clean up any small drops, took me half an hour to clean them all up, this could have been avoided, if the painters had just wiped up right away when they did it. Didn't notice on walk through because it looked like dust. As well, there is some imperfection (bumps/not painted down properly on one of the walls), I'm no professional painter, but even I could have known to fix it at the time of painting.
2. Minor scratches and scuffs on one of my tubs and toilet. As well as some sealant not properly cleaned up around one of the sinks.
3. My front veranda has concrete and marks from the guys doing that, will see if they repaint or clean it up for me, especially if it has to be repainted.
4. Crack in basement floor

So far no major issues, all the above are more cosmetic, and seemed to be contractor issues (painter and bathroom installer), so will see on my 2 months inspection if they will fix these (the tub/toilet, I don't expect much to be done, but will bring it to their attention). I guess I'm lucky thus far especially with all the horror stories out there with new home builds.

Only other issue I'm a bit frustrated with is how long it is taking to build the detached garage. I was told once the concrete is poured that it would be a fast process. Yet after 2 weeks of the concrete poured, still nothing.

I will update again after the 2 months inspection.

Approximate cost of services:
$350,000.00

I'm still waiting for the concrete, garage and landscaping, but that isn't their fault as the weather hasn't been that cooperative.
I can't comment on the home warranty service yet, as I haven't had to contact them on anything. So will see how that goes.
