What I liked about customer care was that they were caring and took time to get to know you. In terms of the warranty service the specialist was professional; however, it felt like they were talking at me and not with me.

The members of the Classic Staff were extremely helpful and in some cases went above and beyond. Still have a few minor things that need to be repaired. I'll be submitting a work order soon. Thank you!

It took a months for classic to come fix our blue tape inspection issues. Three times I took leave to be there for them to do repairs, and the three times I had to reschedule.

We liked everything except for the fact that landscaping and blinds weren't included. We have built 3 homes now with builders, and this the first time we moved into a home that wasn't 100% complete.

Colorado Springs, CO, on Jan 15, 2022

You told us to be at the design studio in Jan or Feb of 2021. We came and finished our selections the first week of Feb 2021. We were told at that time if we made any changes after that date it would delay our build as supplies, cabinets hardware had to be ordered. Our house was delayed because you chose to delay ordering cabinets knowing about supply chain issues all along the way. You delayed our house 2-2 1/2 months because of cabinets. The builder calls on Mondays were great but usually depressing as there was nothing to report but more delays. The weekly pictures were nice since we were in VA and couldn’t come cross country in the pandemic.

Colorado Springs, on Jan 24, 2022

When we told our warranty rep about how the cabinets were not all in order and some stuck, didn't close all the way or function properly, he argued with us telling us "well, that's because they are new and over time, as you use them, they will come around and work as you want." This clearly isn't the case. Our cabinets don't shut all the way after even six months of obviously constant use. The cabinets in the wet bar in the basement get stuck and we have to push them in with force, our kitchen cabinets are the same way and won't close all the way unless we muck about with the cabinets and shift things around. It's really annoying having paid for upgraded cabinets and the warranty personnel argue about how they work.

Adam was stellar at initial communication. He provided all the information that we requested and was super fast with responses. Hayden was also phenomenal for the same reasons. We felt we had an excellent personal connection with him. Cheryl was helpful when Hayden wasn't available. Our designer Cheryl did a great job helping us make choices. Our 1 big issue with the design process was the electrical outlets. Telling us that we had to decide where we wanted to install extra outlets while refusing to tell us where the included ones would go or even how many there would be is ridiculous. We 100% would have chosen to not put some that we paid for as well as add ones in places that are inexplicably short on outlets. The "well the code blah blah blah" excuse was complete BS. Matt was friendly but made promises to complete work and then didn't follow through with much of it. Caleb is also very friendly but has been very slow to follow through (or just hasn't yet in several instances).

Information about the whole process as well as during each phase was ample. Classic reps were professional from the front office down to the field reps. Quality of materials was fantastic. My complaint comes from the closing end. Contractors/Trades actually working in the house did not pay enough attention to detail or worked with enough care to preserve the quality environments. Cleaners did not clean out sinks, did not clean the windows, barely vacuumed, cabinets and drawers still had debris, door hardware was not free of dried paint, and dirt/dust was excessive in the basement. I found paint dropped on the carpet, grout on the tile floor, and glue hardened on the garage floor. Overall, I would say that Classic has the processes down and provides quality care to the customer while the trades may have installed quality materials but with poor quality care/service.

Almost everything was fixed within the first 60-90 days from move-in. There are still some outstanding items from just before move-in that have not been satisficed or followed up on by Classic Homes. If we can have those items attended to then it will be a 10/10 for sure.
