My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Seems to be a shadow from dry wall tape

7 years ago

New custom home and doing my second "punch list." Notice these shadows on the ceiling. Are they from dry wall tape? Is it acceptable? Also, very uneven finish to baseboards...especially where they join. Is this really an issue I should push? Lastly, well maybe not LAST, but certainly another issue is the cracking of seals around window casings. I was told this is "normal" for new construction in 100+ degree weather.
