My house is only one year old and I’m seeing cracks, screw pops and tape pulling loose. Did my builder/drywall contractor do a poor job?

Not necessarily. Framing lumber today has far more moisture content and is much less dense than that of years past. This lumber will often shrink, warp and twist as the humidity leaves the house (particularly during the heating season) creating havoc with the finished surfaces. This is why it is important to hire a drywall contractor who will return to perform these repairs.
