We entered a contract with **** in the fall of 2023 for a new construction home. The house was complete, & our punch list walkthrough took place in April 2024. During the inspection, a large area of the driveway (roughly 5x5 ft) was discolored & stained, along with similar staining on the walkway. Additional areas of concern included chipping, cracks, and various construction material droppings. **** informed me that the staining was moisture and would clear up in the coming summer months. This was a lie. The staining was initially photographed in Feb. 2024. When I shared this image of the stain, they requested that I wait an additional 30 days so they could assess any changes. I felt comfortable with this approach because this issue was added to the pre-closing inspection punch list. **** sent their crews to track the stain periodically between Apr. and July 2024. No improvement was noted, & the stain remains. A supervisor met with the crew & acknowledged that the staining was not trapped moisture and that they would engage their subcontractor for replacement. I expressed that the entire driveway would need to be replaced, and patch repair would be unacceptable, especially for a new construction home. This issue was brought to their attention before closing, and they assured me they would fix it. However, they have offered a small fraction of the cost to correctly repair the driveway & believe that a patch would be acceptable despite acknowledging that the patch would not match the surrounding concrete. Unacceptable. Im so disappointed in Sheas failure to accept responsibility & replace the driveway correctly to ******* building standards. Im exploring representation options with the Veterans Affairs housing auth., since Im a disabled veteran and the home was purchased with the VA home loan. We continue to work with **** in good faith in hopes of an appropriate solution, but I suspect this will land in mitigation, **************************
