You never said your house was big, it's probably bigger than mine. Hope so, I live alone and I'm cramped and need more space.
All you said "enormous" and I said "define enormous" (basically).
Some people think these 5 or 6,000 square foot cookie cutters are "enormous," I certainly disagree.
All I said was to define your definition of enormous. Not trying to "outclass" anyone and I define it as 20,000 square foot+, because unlike most, I've been in large houses (although never lived in one), so I have an idea of what certain amounts of space is like.
now you are just playing games. I am being cordial by assuming that you know what you are talking about.
I would assume that if I gave you details such as a $50k-100k marble staircase at the entrance would be enough to give you some insight on how big the palce really is.
The key is, that was off topic and I feel no need to answer if since there is no reason why I should have to assuage your understanding for every little thing. When I do follow through ,I do it as a courtesy, and you are abusing it.
I simply menat that we work on a lot of houses, many that are rather large, with liberal and conservative interpretations of the word 'large,' and we many times find shoddy workmanship.
to be fair though, builders like toll brothers and baremur do quality.....it's usually some of their hired hands or stuff they contract out that is bad.
For the most part, they do good work.
Like many people haver retiterated , there is a fine line between quality and quantity, and Toll B's houses are custom so they are catering the frugal or miserly attitude of their buyers....
simply because a buyer is cheap and doesn;t want to pay extra for quality doesn't mean tolld and braemur deserve all of the blame.
that said, we never EVER do shoddy work. if the custoemr wants shoddy work for a shoddy price, we simpyl turn them down or place a rather high so we don't insult and alienate them
we do quality, and ONLY quality. makes getting bids through a bitch, but it keeps ourreviews..
well...they have always been impeccable
