Are all the homes past the 12 month mark or was yours just built early in the build out? This sounds like a perfect class action case.

I would talk to an attorney that specializes in building defects.

Did you do a home inspection prior to moving in? I think you’ll be hard pressed to get anything out of the builder this late in the game.
Yes but nobody’s home inspector found this issue
Typically the frame of the deck is made of pressure treated wood, which takes many years to rot. The decking boards really depend on the material. My cedar deck is at end of life at 26 years. Flashing is used for water run off typically on a roof. I’ve personally never seen flashing on a deck and I live in the PNW it rains 8 months of the year. Are you sure it’s not a case where a competing contractor said they should have used flashing, but in reality it met code as is and was signed off by the county inspector. Building something to last longer is different than building to the minimum standards.
