Great customer service when it came to warranty items.

Horizon City, TX, on Nov 09, 2024

What was shown in the model home, this was cabinets in the master bedroom that were changed without notice to us. Documents were sent to sign with no explanation of what was being signed. We had to initiate contact for explanation of these docs. This would not have been an issue if purchased of a home before, but this was our first home.

Cheap material used, they refuse to reason, do not commit once the repair is their fault but costs more than 2$, so cheaply made even the flooring needed to be glued 3 months after moving in, cabinets all ruined on the bottom, plumbing bursted on the sink 6 months in. Garage door crazy, ceiling is cracking. The list goes on with how they outdid themselves

Some of the initial flaws were corrected. We have a list we will be submitting of the items that have not been corrected, but it's not very long. For example, the peephole in the front door is not aligned to the actual hole made for it on the door. so there is a little gap around it. The water spout in the backyard has very little water pressure (a small stream of water is all that will come out). The dishwasher moves around within the space its in. It's not held down.

Private Inspector found a good amount of issues including a missing tile on the roof, and took 3 weeks for me to get a missing break. If I was more on top of it probably would of been fixed fast but at the same time it was found during orientation and with private inspections so I assumed it was taken care of.

Some basic things that should not have been missed, were. For example, the factory installed plug in the garbage disposal was not removed during installation, causing the dishwasher to drain into the sink overflow valve. The water catch pan under the furnace/ air conditioning unit was leaking, causing water marks on the ceiling of the garage, but we caught it before more damage was done. We have also had several pieces of vinyl flooring lift up, especially where an appliance or furniture is sitting on it. We have also noticed that the cabinet finish is not very durable. We do like the energy efficiency of our house, and the good neighborhood that it's in.

They are super fast to get things fixed but honestly I I think things should not need to be fixed with a brand new home. Mounted a TV at my leaving room and some nails came out from the stud, the lotnolium flooring unglued from a corner. The sheet rock tape is visible in some parts of the house and its made of cheap material I wish I would've know all this before purchasing it. Other than that it's a wonderful area to live in.
