On the other side when your in a home look at all the trim work, do you see gaps between the trim and the walls? Those are things that will always be fixed by a good painter and things you will never see after a good quality contractor signs off on a job. Things many homeowners never even take the time to look at.
Details, details, attention to is what makes a good job look great!

I agree 100% with BR, when I was on the market for a high end home, many were built way below what I consider standard quality. I did not mention this to the owners but I at times mention it to my realtor buddy and he agrees with me. He have seen too many new construction that he would not put a dime in.
I had a number of home owners ask me for advice when they are at their wit end with a builder/contractor. My advices are usually scoff at by contractors but are sound advice with quality builders.
