Every Classic rep we've dealt with seems to enjoy what they do and the experiences we've had with each of them has always been positive - this goes for the entire process (Tina/Christian and Jamie on the front end, Liz and Stan for warranty). It feels like Classic actually cares about the customer.
Colorado Springs, CO, on Jan 20, 2022
The communication with the entire team, including construction gave us such peace of mind while going through this process with Classic! Every single person was amazing at keeping us updated as well as answering all of our questions at any time!

Back order of replacement garage door panel been waiting on since August and currently no ETA.
Colorado Springs, on Dec 14, 2021
The only disappointment is with the Grading Plan and Drainage reports filed with the city. They understate the storm water run off in the development after building, hardscape and landscape is completed. My lot is subject to excessive storm water run off and I was forced to spend $10,000 to direct the flow. I have an opinion from a water engineer that the 'Basin Runoff Coefficient Summary' used a 'weighted' factor that underestimated the storm water runoff. I am preparing a letter to the city questioning the accuracy of the Drainage Report. I have spoken to Mr. Richardson in the past and Classic Homes states that my situation is normal and usual 'lot to lot' flow. I disagree and consider Classic Homes responsible to provide a buildable lot that can be used without significant structures to control storm water drainage.
Colorado Springs, CO, on Jan 16, 2022
The whole process from beginning to end was very wonderful! Tina Loncar at the model and Cheryl Wyndham at the design studio were amazing to work with, explained everything along the way to us. Tina was very accommodating during the whole process, making the process seamless, and making it very stress free! We couldn’t be more happy with the build, our house and also the Classic staff. I would recommend this staff to anyone!
Colorado Springs, on Jan 18, 2022
Classic homes has a fantastic customer service staff. Any new issues I had with the home they were quick to respond and always very helpful.
Colorado Springs, on Nov 23, 2021
I love my home! Your staff has quickly addressed any warranty issues.
Colorado Springs, on Jan 10, 2022
Items were repaired or fixed in a timely manner but some grout in bathroom couldn’t be filled in. Still waiting for new refrigerator door.
Colorado Springs, CO, on Jan 15, 2022
I absolutely love the house! We also understand the delays in products right now due to COVID. It stinks that we were promised loaners and did not receive those, making it extremely difficult to even boil water. We are missing some cabinet fronts, all the pulls, our faucet, and appliances, and our floor is peeling. Our wonderful super, John Carlson Jr, has been AMAZING to work with. He is personable and keeps us updated on the outstanding items we have. Its almost been a month though since we have closed and still dont have the things listed above, thats our only frustration we have.
Colorado Springs, on Sep 26, 2021
Lack of knowledge from design studio, for example, they didn’t mention there is no back splash in the bathrooms unless we ask for it. Disappointed about the inconsistencies between homes, for example, the neighbors got a pot filler on an external wall but we were told classic doesn’t do that.
Colorado Springs, on Oct 29, 2021
They have made sure everything has been up to our expectations
Colorado Springs, CO, on Dec 16, 2021
I greatly appreciated the constant communication with all the Classic employees (sales reps and builder).
Colorado Springs, on Sep 21, 2021
I do like the quality of our home. one major item that still has not been resolved and has been pushed off is the stain on our front patio. We were told multiple times to wait and see if the stain disappears, it has not not.
Colorado Springs, on Oct 12, 2021
The over quality of the house like paint, nails, fixture are not that up to the standard.
Colorado Springs, CO, on Nov 24, 2021
The Communications process was outstanding.

Colorado Springs, CO, on Sep 09, 2021
Everything was great. Scheduled walk throughs were definitely a help to allow me to point out missing items and concerns, which were all handled immediately. There was nothing displeasing at all, the entire experience was fun and exciting. Would recommend to a friend and would do this again.

We had a Classic home before and knew we wanted another one returning back the Colorado. Timeline was on track, weekly updates and photos were wonderful while we were not in town. Staff was pleasant to work with.
Colorado Springs, on May 10, 2021
Great construction supervisor and sales team!
Colorado Springs, on Jul 31, 2021
Warranty service takes to long to get things fixed. They show up, look at the problem, and then kick the can down the road and bring back more people to look at the problem 3 weeks later. I still have a master bedroom door that wasn't right during our initial walk through back in February and it's now August and the door still isn't fixed. Have cracked tiles also since February that still aren't replaced.
Colorado Springs, CO, on Sep 09, 2021
Very positive experience. A few things to tidy up but nothing major. Sales team and warranty team were excellent.
Colorado Springs, on May 09, 2021
We liked the level of information flow, the weekly updates to building progress, and the many choices in the design studio.
Colorado Springs, CO, on Aug 27, 2021
Jamie our superintendent and also the sales staff in the office were all awesome. Kept us constantly informed throughout the process and extremely thorough and dealt with any concerns we had. The one negative was design center because we didn’t feel we had sufficient time in person to make all the choices necessary and felt rushed. The only other follow up appointment was almost 2 months later and would have delayed closing if we waited
Colorado Springs, on May 07, 2021
I really appreciated the constant communication. I was living out of state during the building of our home so the constant communication put us at ease.
Colorado Springs, on Jul 19, 2021
Very friendly and professional staff. People seem to love working at Classic
Colorado Springs, CO, on Aug 20, 2021
Long Closing process, Capstone Title was not capable of dealing with type of loan. Fill dirt around house is poor quality. Scrapes of cement and rock chips from other jobs. Beautiful house design, Great hickory floor, of the five new homes we purchased, by far this is the best home. Love the house!
Colorado Springs, on Jul 12, 2021
We still a problem with a door sticking and bath sink does not hold water. The garage door sounds like its pulling apart. No one has followed up from your upper management regarding my ongoing storm and irrigation water pouring onto my lot.
Colorado Springs, CO, on Jul 12, 2021
The design studio appointment did not go well and was in a rush to select. Also, the kitchen backsplash was selected at time of signing the contract and 1 week before first walk thru we were told the tile is not available . Which according to me felt like classic will not do and you do if. I was cornered to say let’s move forward without this and I felt bad as you all know the kitchen backsplash is an important element to the home. Was disappointed with this .
Colorado Springs, on Jan 22, 2021
Many things were not set properly. Cracked kitchen back and misaligned batheoom doors.
Colorado Springs, on Jun 28, 2021
Classic delivered a great product and has since followed up on any issues without question.
Colorado Springs, CO, on Jul 04, 2021
The overall experience was great and smooth. Thanks to Tina and team. Jamie was very friendly and guided as very well.
Colorado Springs, on Apr 13, 2021
Just two things. 1- I pointed out some poor craftsmanship and was told it didn't matter as it was covered up behind a wall. 2- I pointed out a squeaky floor and nothing was done about it.
Colorado Springs, CO, on Jun 20, 2021
The communication from the sales team, design center, superintendents, etc, was great. I knew when to expect my weekly phone calls, and they were always quick to get back to any questions I had. They stuck to the schedule I was given, which was helpful during the moving process. Overall it was a great experience from beginning to end!
Colorado Springs, on Aug 14, 2020
Our experience with classic homes during our purchasing and designing period was awesome. The team members who helped us through the process were very helpful and answered questions to this day. The down side to this experience is some things were not offered to us (that we know of) we thought we had a window that was not baseline, we wish we knew where the water XXXXX kets would end up, we did not get a door for our garage (a door on a hinge), would like to have known what would not be finished once the house was complete (could have had this done) , Had outlets installed on the house but they are so high off the ground that I will never use them. Just nice to knows would have been good and possible suggested items to think about.
Colorado Springs, CO, on Jun 19, 2021
The team at flying horse Palermo was tremendous. They resolved any issues in a timely manner and did a phenomenal job communicating throughout the process. The one area of constructive feedback we have is ensuring your design center understands the nuances of newly established home plans. We had an issue with the quartz for our island that was eventually resolved, but had the designer understood the island was too big for a single slab of quartz (options available at design center), we likely would have chosen a different quartz or even gone with granite.
Colorado Springs, on Jul 06, 2020
Great design team. Satisfied with option selections. Had some setbacks so we had to wait about 2 months to close and move in to our house. Had some minor repairs to do afterwards, but service team corrected all of the problems.
Colorado Springs, on Apr 08, 2021
I frequently have to request a follow-up or status update - sometimes without any response at all. More recently, an exterior addition was added for water drainage that looks extremely unattractive and was not a necessary addon from the start. I fear that the installation process drilled holes into the gutter which means removing it will lead to rust and other problems down the road.
Colorado Springs, CO, on Jun 01, 2021
Despite the challenges of COVID, the Classic Homes team did a phenomenal job keeping us excited about our new home.
Colorado Springs, on Mar 31, 2021
I liked how they take their time to explained everything in detail and through. They customer care was very fast and helpful.
Colorado Springs, on May 19, 2020
Love my home layout and design. The best would be all Classic employees that played a role in my home build; they are all wonderful, caring individuals!
Colorado Springs, on Feb 18, 2021
Nothing to really dislike, but the prompt responsiveness of the customer service team has been awesome.
Colorado Springs, CO, on Apr 08, 2021
Diane, Tina, Jamie and Marcus were all incredible to work with! The management team was asked to move our closing date from Monday to a few days earlier on Friday to accommodate my active duty husbands' tdy dates.The house was done and the mortgage lender was ready but management declined to move the date up. I have never worked with a company that was not accommodating to the military community.
Colorado Springs, on Apr 28, 2020
The sales experience was fantastic with Tina. Very responsive and helpful. The walk through and punch-list checks were also very thorough. The whole process instilled confidence every step of the way.
Colorado Springs, CO, on Mar 23, 2021
My family and I are very disappointed to say the least with Classic and the situation regarding our home and lot / property line. Throughout the sales process of our home we flew our from California and walk the lot and home site numerous times with our realtor and the Classic team and we were told and shown where our property line was. We asked again and again to verify that all the property we were shown and told was ours and was a part of our lot was indeed ours and Classic assured us every time the land they presented to us and showed us was our property. We are told this by every Classic representative that we walked the home and lot with and even our realtor can verify that this is what we were told. It wasn't until after we signed and moved into the home that our landscape designer (not Classic) found an issue with the lot lines. We then contacted Classic and were told after several people came out to the property that a large piece or our side and backyard was in fact not our property and was our neighbors even though our neighbors landscaping has been done over a year. As it turns out we were lied to by the representatives of the Classic team and all the Classic staff that we walk the home and lot with and told us the land belonged to us. This loss of land effects the value or our property / lot and home and is now an additional expense to our neighbor who already spent 10's of thousands on her yard. With the exception of Christian from the sales office, Classic has not even offered so much as an apology and has done nothing but shrug their shoulders and say oh well and try to point fingers elsewhere. Classic has made no effort what so ever to remedy or make the situation right and seems to not care that we we lied to and our property was misrepresented and sold to us with false information. Even when Classic representatives came out to check our lot after we brought the issue to their attention, they walked the yard and said "whats the problem, this is obviously your land" only to realized, after we requested that they measure, that is wasn't our land and was not what we were sold and told. After measuring and realizing the land that was "obviously" ours was in fact not ours, instead of apologizing and trying to understand the situation, the Classic rep said "oh well, you signed the lot survey". This again was another lie, because we actually did not sign a lot survey and I didn't even receive a final survey until I dug through and found one stuffed in the mountain of closing docs. None of the Classic reps were even able to located the gps pin on our lot and kept telling us the wrong pin was ours and the wrong property line was ours over and over again, until the gps guys came back out and marked our pin. Again with the exception of Christian in sales, not a single Classic rep has offer any sort of accountability, apology, remedy, or understanding to our frustration and upset. We even have family including my parents and sisters family looking to purchase and move to the area as well and honestly we don't feel good about recommending Classic to them seeing how poorly Classic has handled our situation. Classic really need to put into place a lot/property walk with the buyer (especially those out of state) where they stand on, mark and clearly see and show the buyer the gps lot pins. They should walk and possibly measure to verify all the property with the buyer and Actually have the buyer sign a lot map that they know the property and exact lot lines. We are extremely disappointed, frustrated and honestly shocked at how horribly Classic and its representatives and staff have handled this situation. What a disappointment from a company that is suppose to be Colorado Springs "#1 Home Builder", and yet seems fine with the fact that we were lied to, mislead and our property was misrepresented to us. (update) ... Classic has let us know today that they in a nut shell they don't care that we were lied to, they don't care that we were mis lead and the property was misrepresented to us, they take no responsibility or accountability in the situation and blame it completely on the buyer. Classic believes the buyer should know and understand and find mistakes in the property even the Classic team and sales people couldn't and didn't find and apparently Classic doesn't care what their employees tell the buyer. Classic should be embarrassed and ashamed of how we have been treated and our situation
Colorado Springs, on Dec 31, 2019
All of the people we dealt with through Classic were professional and helpful.
Colorado Springs, on Dec 15, 2020
I really appreciate how quickly Robert responds to any of our concerns and schedules any repairs in a timely matter.
Colorado Springs, CO, on Mar 17, 2021
All of the Classic employees were wonderful to work with especially Tina, Marcus and Jamie. One thing we didn't like was that the design studio felt a bit rushed (also with Covid we didnt like the virtual meetings. You really need to be there to see the products but that's not something we can control)
Colorado Springs, on Aug 02, 2019
The building of the home it was fast and efficient.
Colorado Springs, on Dec 11, 2020
Liked: All warranty representatives were receptive and willing to assist in a timely manner. Outstanding customer service.
Colorado Springs, CO, on Mar 09, 2021
Overall we are very pleased with purchase experience. Everyone was very professional and would recommend Classic Homes. Christian was very helpful in advising which lot was available to build the model we wanted. The internet portal was not so helpful. Stacey in the design center made the process very smooth. At contract, we selected the window color, later we found that the exterior color scheme (model) that we had planned on was not available. While the white windows are acceptable, I would have preferred to select the window color after the exterior color was confirmed. The process to select the exterior color was awkward. Diane did a good job trying to display the different swatches and pictures of the different color schemes. As a last resort we took a map with the schemes identified and toured the actual houses - should have started with the map. Pentrust and Cherry Creek mortgage did a good job funding and closing our house on time. Subsequently the mortgage was sold to a financial institution. This process was not smooth and after reviewing their fees, I would not have initiated a relationship with this bank. I am still concerned about the storm water run off onto my lot. I am lower that the street behind me. 3 homes have roof drain pipes (some front and rear) that the discharge is collected and diverted to the corner of my lot. This run off increases in volume and velocity as it combines with the rain and then flows onto the east corner of my lot. Additionally, the neighbor to the east is diverting storm water across his lot and discharges onto my lot. I have noted this issue with the sales office and even met with the superintendents. I became more uncomfortable when my back neighbors installed their landscaping. I am no expert and can only speculate how this might have been abated, but it seems to me that the developer when designating this a buildable lot would have considered the flow from lot to lot. I have seen a substantial culvert on Ridgeline that controls the flow behind homes into the gutter. On another issue, my wife is concerned about the garage door installation. It sounds like it is shaking itself apart. We purchased a door opener from a different supplier than Classics. We were told that the other contractor owns maintaining the door. We have them coming out today for their recommendation. Overall, Classic Homes seems to have a solid sales process and includes many orientations and milestones.

Just two things. 1- I pointed out some poor craftsmanship and was told it didn't matter as it was covered up behind a wall. 2- I pointed out a squeaky floor and nothing was done about it.

I frequently have to request a follow-up or status update - sometimes without any response at all. More recently, an exterior addition was added for water drainage that looks extremely unattractive and was not a necessary addon from the start. I fear that the installation process drilled holes into the gutter which means removing it will lead to rust and other problems down the road.

Every Classic rep we've dealt with seems to enjoy what they do and the experiences we've had with each of them has always been positive - this goes for the entire process (Tina/Christian and Jamie on the front end, Liz and Stan for warranty). It feels like Classic actually cares about the customer.

The only disappointment is with the Grading Plan and Drainage reports filed with the city. They understate the storm water run off in the development after building, hardscape and landscape is completed. My lot is subject to excessive storm water run off and I was forced to spend $10,000 to direct the flow. I have an opinion from a water engineer that the 'Basin Runoff Coefficient Summary' used a 'weighted' factor that underestimated the storm water runoff. I am preparing a letter to the city questioning the accuracy of the Drainage Report. I have spoken to Mr. Richardson in the past and Classic Homes states that my situation is normal and usual 'lot to lot' flow. I disagree and consider Classic Homes responsible to provide a buildable lot that can be used without significant structures to control storm water drainage.

Lack of knowledge from design studio, for example, they didn’t mention there is no back splash in the bathrooms unless we ask for it. Disappointed about the inconsistencies between homes, for example, the neighbors got a pot filler on an external wall but we were told classic doesn’t do that.

I do like the quality of our home. one major item that still has not been resolved and has been pushed off is the stain on our front patio. We were told multiple times to wait and see if the stain disappears, it has not not.

I really appreciated the constant communication. I was living out of state during the building of our home so the constant communication put us at ease.

Many things were not set properly. Cracked kitchen back and misaligned batheoom doors.

Our experience with classic homes during our purchasing and designing period was awesome. The team members who helped us through the process were very helpful and answered questions to this day. The down side to this experience is some things were not offered to us (that we know of) we thought we had a window that was not baseline, we wish we knew where the water XXXXX kets would end up, we did not get a door for our garage (a door on a hinge), would like to have known what would not be finished once the house was complete (could have had this done) , Had outlets installed on the house but they are so high off the ground that I will never use them. Just nice to knows would have been good and possible suggested items to think about.

Great design team. Satisfied with option selections. Had some setbacks so we had to wait about 2 months to close and move in to our house. Had some minor repairs to do afterwards, but service team corrected all of the problems.
