Purchase Experience Testimonials from Real Homebuyers

Gonzales, LA, on Jan 31, 2023

Easy to get things resolved, and communication has been great. There's some items from buying the house that are still outstanding.

My final walk through was the morning of my closing day and the punch list items still have not been taken care of. The PM for my home doesn't communicate properly regarding the issues and just says it's being sent to warranty. Painters came out after my closing to fix the flaws that were found yet almost a month later he is saying it was all addressed but I still have yellow tape noting the issues all throughout my home. [name removed] happy with the way it's handled whatsoever.

The limitations of being able to add things like upper cabinet lighting only lower cabinet lighting offered. The carelessness of the contractors regarding the sinks and bath tubs shouldn’t have chips and gouges out of tubs when they’re new and have to repair. Should not behave have concrete repairs because contractor dropped something and broke a piece of patio concrete. More care should be taken by contractor while installing the windows have several that are scratched up and one with a chip.

Some of my concerns seemed to be dismissed when it came to electrical rough-in and also stucco flashing STILL seemed to be a dismissive point. Also, would like project manager to honor his word when he states having someone contact us about minor issues such as garage door operation.

The warranty experience has been complicated. It is described as to submit a request and you will be contacted. I'd say this is true about 80% of the time. Between some original issues submitted in the first couple months not being repaired like the concrete damage, to the current and larger front water drainage areas that are a street wide issue that involves all other new [name removed] properties where pictures were submitted showing water within 10 ft of the foundation.

We liked the the weekly updates and ease of communication with project manager, realtor and alverez team. We liked being able to pick a floor plan and customize our home.

Outdoor Supply water line pipe frozen and ball valve cracked and leaked within 2 weeks of buying the house. All outside water spigots were exposed and not winterized. Concrete slab beneath the air conditioner cracked and was patched, not to our satisfaction. We were told they couldn’t do any better.

House wasn’t finished at closing. It’s now over 7 weeks later and I have a defective tub and holes in my wall. The worst part is no one can tell me when my tub will get fixed. We have purchased 5 new construction homes in the past 5 years and this is the only [name removed] house and it’s also the only one that wasn’t finished. I did have issues with the others but the builders were quick to fix them. I don’t understand how you can expect to continue to run a successful business treating people this way. The only positive I can say is we were allowed to swap house plans when we decided we wanted a different plan/lot didn’t fit our needs.

I have tickets that were completed but never actually fixed. Having to re put in a ticket for the same thing.

I was told the home would be ready in May or June and it took until November. Other than that it was a good experience.

We were purchasing a home that was being build already. The design center didn’t t even try to acomódate some of the request. The answer was always “can’t “. We did a [name removed] trough 30 day before, paid and inspection and still the day of closing the house was not ready. In fact is still not ready as the windows are not completed and we can not open. We got our first home from alvarez at Lexington park. This new home does not have linen closet but one downstairs and the cabinets not even closed to the first home. The lady at closing was 30 minutes late and looks like she just rolled of the bed and did not explain anything beside thank you here is the bag. The title company did try to cover for her. 2 weeks before our closing you were offering 10k to 15 k in closing cost plus refrigerator and blinds which did not want to honor to us because it was a previous contract. We’ll make the best of it

Homebuilder Customer Reviews

No one knows more about a homebuilder's quality and service than the builder's customers.

Since 1984, Eliant has been independently evaluating the performance of homebuilders across the U.S., Canada, and the Middle East:

  • We ask recent homebuyers to evaluate their builder's purchase process.
  • Then, we ask homeowners to evaluate their builder's quality and service (1) after the first 5-months in the home, and (2) again at the end of the first year.

In "Homebuilder Customer Reviews", we present the ratings and comments collected from new-home buyers at these three points in time.

Eliant verifies that only evaluations completed by actual customers are included in this "Homebuilder Customer Reviews" site. No other evaluations - whether collected by the builder or those appearing on other public sites - are included here. All customer comments are included verbatim, no editing is permitted.
