The cracks are top to bottom of the posts. The posts are located on the stairwell of the porch. Again the house is less than 4 months old. What should I expect the carpenter to do? The home is below warranty.
call the warrenty and speak about them.
What type of posts are they?, what are they holding up? Do they look to be Wolminezed posts? what size are they? if you can inform us some more about what they are then someone might enjoy a answer for you. it could be that they just need to trim them out next to 1x6 or something like that. Minor splitting along the grain of lumber is everyday...as it dries out that will happen. Your warranty will not cover re-placement of such cosmetic defects. They will probably dispatch a painter to fill and re-paint the posts.
Answers: Definitely call the builder to see what they will do. The warranty really should cover something like that.
