Purchase Experience Testimonials from Real Homebuyers

Monument, CO, on Oct 20, 2020

We had to point out deficiencies as we found them and we feel the builder should have fixed these without our intervention.

The closing date was moved by one day, the builder was not informed and the house was not ready on closing date. After closing we got to the house and could not get in. Also, a lot of the findings during the final walk through had not been corrected. Closing date was not a pleasant experience.

I am still finding small items that could have been caught at the 6 month mark.

The sales staff, Josh and Paul were knowledgable and always ready to help. Cheryl, at the design center was very helpful in helping us stay on budget while designing a beautiful home. Randy and Damien, the supervisors on site, updated us consistently and were always responsive to questions. and requests. We are very happy with the home and how we were treated throughout the process.

The buying process was smooth. The building process could have gone better because nearly every change order was done wrong the first time and had to be torn out and redone. It would have been nice if the CHANGE ORDERS WERE READ THE FIRST TIME. This was very frustrating. Some of the subs used on construction of our home were questionable tradesmen. Stucco was a disaster and had to be redone in several areas due to flaking off, and the deck is sagging due to the use of wet wood that warped and has now caused major sagging (to be repaired soon, we hope). Classic warranty service has been very good, but I just wish we didn't have to have warranty work done. We have also had two cracked windows due to settling (I'm told).

Like: Community, lot location & size, Daybreak Floorplan, Sales / Design / Construction Team Dislike: Lack of attention to detail through the build process. Changes made by vendors that are not reflective of what is shown in your model. Oversight of vendors who often have mistakes and miss details/finishes.

I have been in this house over five months, and am still waiting for tile work, painting, and my porch to be finished. Very disappointed in the quality of workmanship, which made so much rework necessary. It is a small house but I have never experienced so much lack of quality control in almost all aspects of the build. In particular, almost every upgrade I paid for was poorly or incorrectly executed. Classic should not offer options they can not properly install. Tom has been great trying to make up for so many incompetencies, but he can only do so much. At this point, it is obvious we can not make a "silk purse out of a sow's ear".

Everything was handled quite smoothly. If there was an issue or concern, it was addressed quickly. Everyone was kind, and respectful. We are really satisfied with our new beautiful home.

Ms. Tina Loncar was amazing from deposit to closing. In fact, we keep in touch with her still! But, the entire team was awesome -- 110% customer focused!

The entire process was enjoyable. Cheryl Windom at the design center made the options easy to understand. Construction at this point appears to be top notch. My only criticism, and it is very minor,is the cleaning of the home could have been a little more thorough. Slider tracks were full of dirt.

I liked the weekly updates and communication throughout process Andy has been amazing he has great work ethic and his customer service skills are up to par! Very hard worker When it came to closing lots of things were unfinished and a mess plus it’s been a month since we moved in and havent been able to cook my family decent meals because we have no working oven! That’s very frustrating especially for as expensive as our new home is and the fact that we are in a brand new home! Other minor things need that need to be addressed I really wish they were more consistent!

Home is still not finished. Workmanship quality is low. 3rd party contractors performed poorly and from the work provided seem to be low skilled.

Warranty rep has not resolved my cracked front porch. It was patched during original pour. The crack is on the edge of the porch and will eventually spall off due to winter freeze/thaw. I requested that a VP level person contact me to resolve though that has not happened.

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.
