If they fail to fix you can throw the book at them if you want to- CO statute of repose on construction defects is 6 years, or 2 years from the time the homeowner becomes aware of the defect:

2.2 General Contractor / Custom Builder
A general contractor of a custom home has different liabilities from that of a buildervendor because construction is built pursuant to a set of plans drafted by design professionals engaged either by the general contractor or the owner. The duties owed by a general contractor of a custom home as well as a builder-vendor or subcontractor include not only those owed under contract, but the duty to build without negligence. See A.C. Excavating v. Yacht Club II Homeowners Ass'n, Inc., 114 P.3d 862 (Colo.2005). It is important to understand that this duty in tort applies to residential construction as opposed to commercial construction where duties are generally governed by contract. This duty independent of contract is discussed in further detail below in connection with Colorado’s adoption of the economic loss rule.
