Poorly built homes

Don't ever let this company build your house! Don't buy one built by them ever! You will pay for years fixing everything from your floor and wall tiles to your plumbing and paving. I have had to re-tile my entire house, replace every Chinese ballostop valve on every mixer installation. Kitchen sink and washing machine outlets were installed with no traps, bringing sewer smells into the kitchen at all hours. Electrical installation was done with wires of all colors not corresponding to positive, negative and earth. Plugs and switches also substandard and many loose. Leaks in chimney roof installation have had to re-do ceilings, and again ceilings are cracking. Swimming pools had to e redone twice, pipes leaking, not secured and poorly installed. Copper tube left in contact with galvanized brick force wire in wall under wall tiles in bathroom. Room flooded 23 December had to get emergency plumbers. He employs the cheapest labor he can find, using the cheapest materials possible, a d does shoddy work. Patios pool after every rain due to subsiding and not being properly leveled. It never ends and you will be sorry as long as you have that house. If you try to claim legally he will tie you up for 3 years in legal delays. I eventually got paid out 280 thousand after nearly 100 thousand of legal fees. Arbitrator ordered 15,000 in costs (nowhere close to what it was) and he never paid. Now to go after 15,000 will cost more than it's worth. Stay away!
