Each week, we will be including Member questions about our community. If you have a question you would like answered, please send it to Jayne Ann Milling, Concierge.

This question was referred to Amanda Dumich, our Executive Director. Here is her response.
Q: What if I have issues with warranties, workmanship or quality of my home?
A: The developer, Isakson Living, understands our Members have high standards, therefore we specified a variety of quality products for our Peachtree Hills Place Community. Many of you have experienced new construction in the past, and realize it doesn’t seem to ever go off without some hitches. Some of these “hitches” are not resolved as fast as PHP would like, however, we take pride in staying on top of issues until they are resolved. We have a strong construction leadership team and processes in place to follow up on punch items, installation, and warranty issues with the general contractor, subcontractors and product suppliers.
For example, the wood flooring at Peachtree Hills Place is a high-end product and a great application for a multi-story project with concrete floors. The planks lay on top of a layer of sound attenuation cork, which is important to mitigate sound. Engineered floors are not the same as what you may have had in your wood-frame, single-family home where you nail the floorboards into plywood subflooring. They are engineered wood floors, a different product with a different application to better accommodate multi-story buildings.
If you should have an issue with any equipment in your condo, such as air conditioning, kitchen appliances, or fireplaces these come with warranties from the manufacturer. Plant Operations can assist you in determining if your equipment is working properly. If not working properly, Plant Operations can call in the subcontractor who installed the equipment and the manufacturer of the equipment and their warranty to ensure that your equipment is performing up to manufacturer specifications by either repairing or replacing the equipment per their warranty.
