Insider New Construction Tips with Nancy Pieper and Marian D’Unger on Down Home in DFW
DALLAS (KDAF) — Local Real Estate powerhouses Nancy Pieper and Marian D’ Unger share tips with Jenny Anchondo about what you need to know when building new construction.
Marian underscores the vital role of rock-solid foundations and robust framing, while Nancy urges homeowners to infuse their personal touch into wiring during the open-wall phases. She also sheds light on the pivotal role insulation and plumbing choices play in creating your perfect haven. This dynamic duo also stress the role of realtors in guiding buyers through the construction process.
“I learned 31 years ago that there’s a big difference between builders, and I was surprised. So I did some further checking and discovered there are no licensing requirements in the state of Texas for builders! Unbelievable. I went out and bought a measuring tape and a level and I started bringing them with me during new construction walk-throughs.
I noticed windows were crooked, doors weren’t level, and foundations were uneven! Those were the bad guys. So I started looking for the good guys. If your foundation and other things aren’t plumb and level, you’ll have air leaks, water leaks, and drywall problems.”
