Your heating and cooling system, plumbing system, and electrical systems are installed. Systems are “roughed in,” leaving exposed ends of pipes, wiring, and ductwork to be finished later. Bathtubs, shower units, and other large items are installed. Framing and rough mechanicals are inspected by the City or County, if applicable.
Insulation is added between the studs in all exterior walls, and between the joists forming the attic. Gaps between framing materials and around windows are then sealed to eliminate potential air leaks.
Wall and ceiling drywall is installed and finished. Interior doors, trim, and shelving are installed and
paint is applied. All other materials, including cabinets, countertops, mirrors, and flooring are installed. Your heating and cooling system, plumbing and electrical systems are finished—including registers, faucets, light fixtures, and appliances.
Your yard is graded to slope away from your foundation. And finally, driveways, walkways, and concrete porches are added.
While grading is being completed, your builder continuously performs quality inspections on your home. A “punch” list is prepared including any items that need attention, and all repairs are made prior to the New Home Demonstration Meeting.
Prior to closing, your builder will host the
New Home Demonstration Meeting with you. During this meeting, the builder will explain the mechanicals and demonstrate the operations of your new home. You may ask questions about how your new home operates, as well as make note of any items needing attention ( such as paint touch-ups ). Within days of this meeting, you will sign closing papers, officially transferring ownership of the home into your name.
For one year, your home is covered by the Mandalay Homes One-Year Limited Warranty. During this time, you can report any needed repairs outside of normal home maintenance to the
Customer Service Department and they’ll quickly and conveniently make covered repairs at no charge.
