Hello,

We bought a brand new home which is being built as I write. The front
of our house is about 1/2brickand the rest is siding.

Long story short -- they put the completely wrong colorbrickon the
front, which I noticed after I swung by a few days later (the job was
already done). Now they are going to tear down thebrickand put the
correct one up.

My question is this -- how do I make sure that they tear it down
carefully, prep the surface correctly again and put the newbrickup
correctly? I don't know what to look for or what to ask the job
foreman about in order to make sure we don't have anybrickdetaching
or water damage in the future. Do they have to rip off the old
flashing? Will there be possible damage to the house wrap (the house
is wrapped all around). Can they accidentally punch holes through the
plywood? I don't even know what else could go wrong or what to watch
out for.

Thanks for any replies!!!

Let me get this right. You don't know a thing, but want to go supervise
so
they do it right?

Stay away from the jobsite and let them do their work. When you come
back,
if it's not the right color, make them do it again.

Nobody mentions a warranty. I bought a home from a builder in '95. I
got a drive by view. There was a problem later and the builder was
right there to fix it. A tree next door contributed damage to a water
main leak for the neighbor, again the builder was right there.

You probably have the only decent builder in the US that stands by his
warranty.

Or doesn't want to get sued since the correct brick choice is in the
contract we signed

The builder has another reason to make this right without being sued.

You haven't closed on the house....
