There are some quality issues for sure. When I brought up the fact that the cabinets in the entire house were hung with two screws each, I was told that was all that was required. Funny that the model home was built with the cabinets having 4 screws each. Things like that will keep me from recommending this builder.

The process was great but the construction supervisor never deliver was promise as far a fixing things that were needing fixing. At the beginning if the construction I brought to his attention that the walls were not straight and he tried to convince me that it was to early to look at those details and that I needed to wait for the walk. At the moment of the walk he expressed that at that point was too late to fix those details that were brought to him at the early construction stage. I feel they lack attention to details and the professionalism to deliver a good quality home.

I didn't like the fact that I needed to paint the garage myself. I just think that the whole home should be painted and just because it is the garage doesn't mean it shouldn't be done. I don't like the fact that you are not able to pick out what you want. I get it, the people in the past messed it up for everyone, but I wanted all white counter tops that was available for option. Just not the cabinets that I wanted with those counter tops. But overall, the home is beautiful, customer service is great and everything that you need assistance with is wonderful.

It has not even 1 year in the house and the warranty repairs are ridiculous. The staff is not very helpful and I wish the fixes at the house would actually be fixes and not just "cover ups". The irrigation system failed within 2 months being in, and warranty only covers 30 days. The landscape was very bad installed that weeds and grass are growing over it. The smoke detector in the kitchen is very bad installed were it turns on even with steam. The exhaust fan flappers are super noisy and couldn't be fixed. And now that they fixed the hairline cracks and painted them I have the walls with spots because the paint color changes and its never the same. Now that it rained my kitchen is leaking and there is always dust coming in. Every time I submit a warranty request it doesn't take 24hrs for staff to contact me. And like I mentioned previously its pointless because nothing ever gets fixed.

The communication of the move-in date is insufficient. I was only informed the progress of the house but didn't know the closing date is set and there is no flexibility of the closing date. I felt like I was forced to sign the closing document on October 31 when the agent told me that the house won't be able to ready to move in on Nov. 1st or 2nd. My two young kids were sick and needed a lot of care on the day of October 31 and I had to work from home at the same time. I had to sign the documents that usually take one hour to review and sign in 20 minutes because I was in the middle of my work and cannot be away for more than 10 mins on that day. There were no explanation of why the closing day had to be on October 31 and why we had to rush to sign the closing document on that day. My husband is currently deployed and away from home. I am taking care of everything by myself and the lack of understanding or flexibility to sign the closing documents truly made this purchase experience the worst ever. No one was trying to find ways to accommodate my struggles on that day but just wanted me to sign the documents and be done with this transaction. The closing would have been so much smoother if we could sign the documents next day. We had been waited to have this house to be built so patiently but when we needed time and support, the closing process made me feel like "thank you for waiting. Oh, and we can't help what you need, just sign the documents." You guys have us waiting and waiting and waiting, and no proper heads up of the closing date. With two young kids and as a working mom, everything I do have be planned ahead of time. I cannot respond to last minute plan change very well due to my other responsibilities. I definitely feel that Dessert View pushing the capitalism to the finest and leaving the humanity part of the process to the least important on the list. It is very upsetting and I hope this will NOT happen to any of your clients again.
