Bought my house and although it is 18 years old and out of warranty finding all the issues that Carefree obviously did not care about since they were going to be covered up. Issue #1 when having refrigerated air installed found empty 40 OZ beer bottles in the wall as well as buried outside in the yard performed the leakage check for the gas lines and after punching holes all over the house and removing over 30 feet of black gas pipe because of cross threaded lines and poor workmanship my house was able to pass the leakage inspection. Issue #2 Upstairs shower valve went bad at that time we find out that the backer board for the tile in the shower was normal sheet rock which is not authorized. Issue #3 upstairs subfloor was never even attempted to be leveled in one of the room. Issue #4 whirlpool tube pump was just sitting on the concrete foundation no evidence that it was even secured anywhere in the area. Issue #5 all sheetrock edges not properly taped everywhere you looked at the edges of the wall you found holes with no drywall tape. Their sheetrock people do not even attempt to blend tape lines just cover it up with texture and call it good, sheetrock was all nailed up poorly nails started to pop everywhere and some of the nails were not attached to anything, outside walkway was laid with thinset left between tiles causes there to be maybe a 1/8" of grout between tiles causing the grout to have nothing to really hold on to. I am learning that this is why home builder warranties are worthless because usually by the time you discover the issues that warranty is expired and you have to come out of pocket thousands of dollars of your own money to fix what they skimped on to save a buck and put it in their pocket.
