1) If my builder has a good reputation, I don’t have to worry about them just covering up shoddy or dangerous workmanship, or do I?

2) If I choose an established builder, I will not have to worry about common and routine practices, like adding flashing to the plumbing vent stacks protruding thru the roof, will I?

3) A builder may have a 30+ year history of good reviews, then a few recent complaints or even lawsuits. How can that be?

4) A builder says he will have all the required inspections done. I have nothing to worry about, right?

5) I have a contract with a builder, that is a guarantee that they will finish the job, right?

6) Can a builder shut down a business after I am having problems with them, and a new entity, run by the sons of the original owner start up with a slightly different name?

7) My home builder operates as an LLC. Surely that provides me, the customer, a bit of protection, right?
