It seems like both "issues" can be traced back to a sub contractor not doing something properly and the contractor not quickly taking care of getting it fixed properly.
Only difference I see is I can possibly create a later warranty issue with the roof itself if I fix my issue. |
My personal view is -- MY TIME IS VALUABLE -- a simple fix is a simple fix...... and to me - while it's someone else's "issue" -- I'm not willing to spend half a F'n day for something that takes 30 minutes total.
I'm not out to rub people's noses in their mistakes --- mistakes happen - everything can have an issue. We're talking about how people resolve issues that is what is important.
In other words --- if I had a brand new car and noticed the radiator hose was dripping coolant -- is that an issue for the builder?? Or should I just take a friggin wrench and 2 minutes of my time and just fix it. I'd just fix it.
If the builder put your window in and it won't open at all despite my clumsy best effort -- then I'm asking the builder to fix it.
