Re: New Home Repair
Letters sent certified mail have far greater effect than a telephone call. Then, too, filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau sometimes helps.
Get the repairs done through other contractors and then go after the builder for the cost to repair. Give the builder fair notice, in writing, that you will do that if they fail to promptly complete the repairs they were supposed to.
