As homeowners share ongoing problems in new-build homes around Las Vegas, is quality falling betw...

The builders names need to be public so people can stay away from those companies somebody Has to keep them accountable

Back in the day, when I purchased my first home to live-in; that was in Las Vegas in the early 1990s, first mortgages with rates of 8 to 9% and 9% to 10% were typical. People will have to accept the possibility that we won't ever return to 3%. If sellers must sell, home prices will have to decline, and lower evaluations will follow. Pretty sure I'm not alone in my chain of thoughts.

It’s crazy how they bleeped out the builders name ..I swear news stations never wanna hold these crooks accountable,they need to be put on blast

I’ve been in the construction business my entire life and have always said the worst thing that ever happened to the industry was the invention of the pneumatic nail gun, because at that point the onus of the business changed from doing things RIGHT to doing things QUICKLY! The vast majority of subcontractors these days don’t care one iota about the quality of the work they perform - they just want to get in and out quickly and get their check! As someone who is particularly familiar with the structural frame of a new home, most homeowners would be horrified if they could walk through their new build and see what was going on through my eyes. And quite frankly, part of the problem is being driven by the homeowners themselves. Way too many people who consider themselves “royalty” and focus only on fancy cabinets and countertops and plumbing fixtures, and don’t pay enough attention to the quality of the building envelope! Oh well, four more years of putting up with this BS and I can head out to my garage every morning and happily tinker away on old cars…….😂

I am a 71-year-old lifelong homebuilder. There is no excuse these poor customers have endured this.

A lot of the new houses have mistakes because they've been rushed to be built

The companies who are doing this, their name needs to be made public.

If you get an atty to send a 60 day demand letter to builder to issue repairs within the 1 year warranty. that freezes everything for litigation. This is Texas, check with your laws or local atty. We are dealing with the same issues with our builder.

I have been working in painting and drywall repair for over 20 years and in my experience, that crack in the ceiling will be back within 2 years... That crack is not happening because of the drywall, that crack is happening because of the framing of the building is moving. It has to do with the wood framing which is a much bigger problem.

When the builder says that too many people expect “perfect” for the money, is when you know you are in trouble! Too many builders take shortcuts and contract with low caliber tradesmen.

Owning a home is not the American dream. More like a nightmare. There is always something that needs to be done.

Time to get together with neighbors and file a class action. From 2005-2008 I worked as a customer relations manager for Pulte/DelWebb. This is why Pulte had guys like me for these issues. I was on the short term team meaning I handled home for first year then long term team handled home for 10 years after for all major issues mandated by California law. The closing wasn’t complete until the walk through they did with me and signed off that the home was 100% complete and any minor issues or major issues I was required to handle within 30 days. At 30 days each homeowner got a survey and if they didn’t give all 5s especially a 5 on was your home 100% complete at closing then you’d get a talking to and General managers tradesmen, foreman etc would do everything we could to appease them and fix the issues. Pulte was so serious about that and we got major incentive to make sure we kept our homeowners happy and resolved any issues major or minor. Pulte built good homes and had a good system to take care of issues. I was good at my job. Dunno if Pulte is still delivering great homes now but back then they had fantastic homes. Get lawyers file class action.

It used to be the American Dream. Now it's the American Nightmare. Buying a new build home 🏡 is like buying a cardboard box.

Man I feel so sorry for these homeowners. I can't imagine what it;s like buying a brand new house and having to deal with all this nonsense for a whole year. Must be debilitating.

So you are protecting the builder by not interviewing or even naming them. You bleep that part out. Good job proving where you stand!

Happened to me in 2005. I feel their frustration. Older homes were built with better code, materials and craftsmanship.

WOW! They should start a Class Action law suit now! That's unacceptable... Please tell us who the builder is...

It’s great you are reporting this, how about having the balls as a true news reporting and tell the public who the builders are, maybe that will catch their attention. Very suspicious about this report

Embarrassed to have a house warming party but not enough to be on the news/tv and the whole internet finding out…

My house was built in 1919. I have the original hardwood floors - and lathe and plaster walls which do kinda suck. 9' ceilings and the original trim moulding and baseboards- seriously every single door and window. They liked 6" trim and tall windows! Glass door knobs and skeleton keyholes. And my floor joists are 6"x12" oak timbers set about 10" apart. My house is set onto a foundation that is 2 foot thick cement walls built into the slope. I'm kind of thinking that maybe they built the floor joist out of the trees that they removed because they're huge. I can walk under my house. A taller person probably not. But my furnace is under there. And during tornado season I hang out with the spiders. It's completely dry underneath and there are very old shelves, so it was used a a root cellar. I'm not sure what they thought they needed such a sturdy house for but my 🐷 butt can do jumping jacks in my living room and nothing shakes on my shelves. Oh I did have new windows made triple pane pull out ones for all the windows. It's very warm even in a hard winter I can go barefoot and my floors are not cold. It has settled over the years so when the cats play with their toys in the living room, the ball will roll all the way into the dining room. But I don't care. I wouldn't trade my little house for a brand new one. To be fair you probably couldn't afford to build a house now the way this one is built. But on the other hand builders don't have to be such cheap asses either.
