FYI I have been inside and worked on some very high end homes that have what I would call terrible fit & finish work. However to the average homeowner the work looks great. But if you take the time look at all the caulking and filler that was used to make it look great you may be surprised.
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!

Yes, I completely agree.
I have mentioned here before many problems with nice looking lake homes constructed by a well known builder in Lakes Region whose company name begins with the letter "S". One of his homes down the street had to have all of the sheetrock removed because of imporper installation of windows and resulting mold. Another one of his homes in Hauser Estates the entire roof had to be replaced because of leaks. After the one year guarantee. At homeowners expense.
So yes, looks are not the sole recommendation.
My recommendation still stands from what I have viewed. Attention to detail. Solid construction.
