Purchase Experience Testimonials from Real Homebuyers

Laredo, on Mar 08, 2023

They have been coming to make repairs as requested, but sometimes make things worse. It’s like should I risk asking for a repair because they might mess it up more.

The Distinguishing factor as to why my Experience was as great as it was is due to my Sales Representative Mr. [name removed]. Anytime I felt something wasn’t right, I would reach out and he would get it corrected. I feel that such a big purchase requires an attentive representative and that’s exactly what I got with Mr. [name removed]! I also must give my props to the house supervisor [name removed] who either showed up himself or get someone to attend to my concerns. They are a dynamic duo that helped get our home to the way we wanted it to be!

Sales rep would call me every week for updates on the house, but then stopped. On closing day he didn’t even show up to the closing and just left the keys to my house inside my house because he had a commitment with his son. My deposit needed to be given back since it wasn’t deducted at closing it took over two weeks for me to get it back. Window hasn’t been fixed and water filter has not been installed guy came by once unannounced and never came back even though we said come back tomorrow. Now that it’s rained we realize we need gutters water falls right at the entrance of the house so who ever is entering is getting all the water from the roof.

Minimal effort was given on multiple items. Examples: Windows have gaps on sides due to it not being square. Multiple caulking areas looked like someone with no experience did them. Kitchen lighting only has one switch, if I'm in the living room area or I'm headed to my room, I can't turn them off unless I head back to the hall before the kitchen to turn them off then walk through the kitchen in the dark to my room. Many other minor items. Just feels like the house was rushed to be finished.

We really enjoyed the communication and guidance from [name removed]. We disliked [name removed]’s lack of communication and lack of professionalism. We honestly feel like he does not care. He turned in the house we a lot of work pending. And braden paid no attention to our concerns. The workers lack training in their craft. They left everything crooked in the house. Nothing makes sense. Some areas start flush and end not flushed. Lines are crooked, paint lines are crooked. [name removed] was pending to be sanded down before painting. Chucks of paint goop left in house. It goes on and on. On top of that they left trash everywhere and a portable potty next to our home.

Home wasn’t completed on time and I had to book a hotel for 2 weeks and spent over a thousand. Home has several issues that have yet to be resolved. Already submitted a warranty request but issues still haven’t been resolved. When I moved in home was cleaned. They send a cleaning crew that did a horrible job cleaning the floors. Dust everywhere, to include banister, rails, shelves and countertops. Would not recommend Armadillo homes to anyone. Issue with armadillo homes is that they are more concerned with quantity not quality builds.

First, the customer care experience was awful. I put in for warranty service just one time and the young man who was sent to provide customer care was absolutely awful. He was argumentative, had a bad temper, was extra disorganized and confrontational. We asked him to see himself out after making us waste two full days (missing work, making arrangements for the kids, and letting several people come into our home during a pandemic). He sent people to come do work without notifying me first after telling me that if I agreed to them doing the work my warranty would no longer be good (carpet). He asked the granite guy to remove and fix the faucet because "he always does it that way". We told him that we wanted things done right and that we thought the faucet would be more of a plumber job. He disagreed and tried to tell us we had to accept whatever quality of work he could provide because we are the ones asking for service. It was a horrible experience. I have to put in another service order for some work that stayed pending that was promised and never fulfilled and I am dreading having to make a service call. I don't care about the drawing entry for my feedback, I am providing you this feedback in hopes that you truly value your customers and their experience and that the quality of service is reviewed and improved.

The one thing that I disliked about my experience was the lack of communication. If everyone had been honest about the time frame of completion of the house it would have made a huge difference. They gave us a date and would constantly keep changing. Due to a specific date they gave us we made arrangements to sell our home but when the time came they said not till next month. After that then that time came by and they catapulted the completed time to 2 months later. Not only that but when they told us they would have the house ready in a few days they would come back to us saying the backsplash we had chosen they no longer had so we had to rush to pick different items. Why did they wait the day they were suppose to work on the backsplash to tell us they didn't have it? Knowing ahead would have helped avoid further delay. Same thing happened with the tile, quartz and stone for the exterior of the home. Most importantly it wouldn't have been a big deal if they were just honest with the time frame and communicate effectively throughout the process and prepare effectively with materials before the actual day that they will be working on.
