Who was the builder? In our area homes built after the 90s are generally crap and don't have the same quality as homes built earlier.
Also just because it was recently new doesn't mean it doesn't have code violations. I watched the construction of a lot of new homes in our area in the 05-06 range and what I saw pretty much disgusted me. The build quality is pretty much crap.
I hate residential contractors in general. They as a whole are generally incompetent and just want to rip you off.
I use commercial contractors almost exclusively.
Granite is not a big deal. They can probably do it one day if you do standard stuff.
I generally don't like hardwood in my personal house. I'd just throw carpet and rip it out to install hardwood when I sell the house.
