Question for all you contractor/builders/craftsmen out there: is there any scenario in which a brand new fiberglass door (recently installed in new construction) should leak and it somehow NOT be the fault of the guy that installed it?

My family is having trouble with a contractor that claims its not his fault that the doors are leaking (water is getting in underneath). It is happening on both a regular door and french doors. The same guy built the entire addition (framed it and everything) and hung the doors.

I can't imagine why a brand new door would leak if installed correctly, but I don't know anything, so hopefully you guys can prove me wrong.
