How to use "Shoddy" in context?
When it comes to construction, there is no one slicker than a professional. That being said, many home builders opt for a shoddy approach to construction instead. This involves relying on quick fixes and cheap materials instead of taking the time to properly plan and install the components of a structure.
This can lead to problems down the road. For one, quick fixes often don't hold up well over time. Wet walls, rotting wood, and shoddy electrical work are all culprits of poorly installed construction. Additionally, shoddy construction can lead to stability and longevity issues with the structure itself.
