And in a new build, for real?

The pictures I posted are from parts of our remodel. They are close shots so that you can tell it's not "perfect". However, we used almost all of the old trim. (Chair rail is all new.) We removed it, cleaned, sanded, reinstalled, caulked, and sprayed it (primer and paint) in place.

But I will still expect that trim in a new build would be done better!

And why do you even have a seam in the shoe trim where it can be seen. Not necessary unless the run is over 12', IMO.

I'm sorry to say but that looks like some terribly shoddy work. It looks like it's been painted over 10 times already! They either short cut the corner of the window trim or chipped it out and tried to fill it (very poorly by the way) Moldings over 12 feet long should be joined with a miter cut-not straight on and filled in. Moldings around a curve should look like this:

Were you allowed to do a walk through before closing with a punch list?

Thank you guys. I am picky but I just wanted to be sure I wasn't being unreasonable.
So we did an initial walk thru 2 days prior and we were told that they would be fixed. Come final day they weren't fixed and we actually found 2 pretty big issues (laminate that was not secure and their attempt to cover up a bulging bathroom wall by filling the gap with caulk.
Mary elizabeth - I love your baseboards. I have baseboard envy

Does your builder provide you with a 1 year warranty for all work? Do you have any recourse to these problems? I would be very concerned about things that you cannot see - plumbing, electrical, who knows what else!

Is your house in a development where the same company is building other houses?

Are others having the same issues with the (lack of) quality of work?

Custom build or Tract home? Tract home you may find the "rework" worse. Custom build haver them redo it.

It's a tract home. We'll have to look at the contract in more detail
Very worried about what's inside especially when i see their work on the outside

I just moved into my family's second custom developer built home. Our first custom from beazer had all sorts of issues right out of the gate... thing about these developers in that it's a numbers game for them and they seem to cut corners everywhere. One thing I noticed from those baseboards is they are made of fiberboard and not wood so corners broke easily if banged into and then seems to crumble into dust! My beazer home's AC system broke less than a year in. Our "wood" cabinets were finished so cheaply, that the finishing began to peel a year in! (And the doors were wood but the insides- fiber board again). My current home is built with dan Ryan developers and we had same issues plus gaps between floor boards in the walk through, and the biggest issue is my yard had all dead sod and wasn't built up so that flooding will occur away from my house. So less than a month month after closing, everything inside the house was fixed but outside, all they have was remove the dead sod and put sand bags around the perimeter of my yard (which backs to a stream)... that's the only thing keeping my house out of the water when it rains!! Hopefully there won't be any more hurricanes until my yard is fixed -_-

If you're already closed then you don't have a lot of recourse since the builder already has their money. Hopefully they're reputable enough to fix the issues. I know it's water under the bridge but you should have refused to close until the builder corrected the problems. They don't get paid until you sign those bank papers.

Imagine the stuff they covered up with drywall before you saw it. Floor squeak much? HVAC really loud? Does the bathroom fan actually vent outside or just in the wall?
