I bought my house in 2004 brand spankin new, and it is falling apart (shifted 5.75") and am looking to roll some heads. I cannot find out who built the damn house so I can send their ass a certified letter saying "Fix it or I will fuck you up!!!"

I have checked my paperwork and contacted my insurance company and neither have the builders information. Is there somewhere that I forgot to look or something?

The city keeps a record of building permits. The builder will be listed.

If its new you should have at least a 10 year warranty. Do you not have warranty info? The bank who did your financing will know...they sent him/her the money.

I already asked my lender and they said that they didn't know either and it should be on my paperwork. I read through ALL of my paperwork at least 20 times and I cannot find it.

Pretty basic shit.

He would only have a warranty if the builder participated in a HOW program and he bought a warranty.

Hopefully this guy kept the box his house came in.

Maybe if you name the city/county inspectors in a lawsuit and maybe more truth will come out?

I don't know if that would work. No experience in such matters, but they put their name on the work!

if it's in a neighborhood, maybe your neighbors know what builder or builders built the neighborhood.

I found out who it was. They are sending people to check out what they fucked up. Thanks everyone for your help. That goes for you smart asses too. Reading funny shit like that always puts me in a better mood.

Made in China... HAAAAA!!!!

Well, there is a good chance the lumber has a Canadian label of some sort stamped on it.

Good luck.

If it's more than a mom and pop builder, then I expect them to keep you in court for years.

BTW, I have a homeowner who calls weekly about the noises the water heater/sump pump/duct work make when turned on thinking they're flaws in the house.

Makes Baby Jesus cry.

Ya I mean if you fucking bought the house brand new, how the fuck can you not know who built it?
