3. On or about July 24, 1987, a certificate of occupancy was issued for the newly constructed residence and a closing on the property took place July 31, 1987.

4. Shortly after the closing on the property, the O'Neill's observed defects in the installation of the tile flooring in their kitchen; brought the defects to the attention of the defendant and his subcontractor.
