An investigation by Hunterbrook Media reveals widespread issues with construction defects in homes built by two major U.S. homebuilders, D.R. Horton and Lennar. Homeowners across 16 states have reported extensive defects stemming from substandard workmanship, inferior materials, and code violations that make their homes unsafe or unlivable. The builders' contracts are one-sided, locking buyers into a warranty process designed to be difficult and time-consuming, often resulting in inadequate repairs or no action at all. Many homeowners face significant repair costs estimated between $5,000 and $20,000 per home, far exceeding the warranty expenses set aside by D.R. Horton and Lennar.
