K let’s take ya to church, I’m gonna post and edit this multiple times due to the amount of photos.
So this is what I’m talking about when I say just careless, bad developer. This is different than just low quality finishing. When we’re talking low quality finishing, your tiles should still be straight, your baseboards should be caulked, undercuts shouldn’t be crooked and fucked up, your paint shouldn’t be flashing all over the place from patches etc.
The listing in question, 785 Skeena, Vancouver
https://www.redfin.ca/bc/vancouver/7...home/155758238
The home as it sits today, keep in mind there’s been at least 2 open houses up to this point
Top windows and fascia splashed with dirt, mud, tar take your pick. Exterior coating on the window frames still there, building paper sticking out under the top flashing
Top balcony, facing your entry, filthy, glass cleaned poorly the caulking on the upper fascia already separating (NP1 and other quality compounds will almost never tear open like that, especially months after being applied)
The front drain pipe in that front column, AT YOUR ENTRY lol.. instead of spending an extra 1 minute in being careful, using a multi tool, redoing it, fuck it, good enough. There are also things called hole saws
Multiple dents in the casing, your DOOR LOCK IS ON CROOKED!!! *cry* fucking 1 minute man! Just fucking make it look square!! Even if that means jury rigging some cardboard shim or SOMETHING!! lol… add to that cracked fascia under the door and concrete stains (hold on.. you trimmed before pouring that slab?..)
Building paper, crooked flashing, soffit is falling out of the J trim
A totally wack parge on your entry slab because it was probably finished poorly or it rained and they weren’t prepared/didn’t cover it
The visible side of the house:
Soffit falling out again, paint splatter
Self explanatory
Remaining window coverings on.. the inside AND outside?… splattered paint on flashing
The torch on or tar decking for the covered deck in the rear
The detached garage, nice job trying to spray that conduit *thumbs up overspray on flashing, window coverings still on, nice trim job on the top fascia
The entry to the garage. Hope you like doing a 3 point turn in your fiat 500. And great look saving that $2000 to just pave the entire lane
Like if this is just the norm and someone looks at this and isn’t deterred based on the carelessness of this builder in the visible details, this is a terribly low bar. Like the listing looks pretty or it’s AI smoothed out but if I walked into this place I’d pretty much guarantee the finishing upon closer look is just as bad, and if THATS bad then what does the framing look like? lol
At the end of the day you could probably buy this place and do nothing and hopefully you could go 10 years without having to do anything. But even if you lucked out and that came to fruition this still shouldn’t be the state of any brand new home that is handed over to a buyer.
The fucked up thing about little items like this though is if you have a quality person who can just do cleaning and touch up’s this can all be resolved in a day
