Likes: - The total construction time was very impressive. From the time we went under contract to the time we moved in to the new home was much quicker than we anticipated. - [name removed] did a fantastic job working with us to customize the home to our liking. - [name removed] managed the project super efficiently. He was able to quickly take care of our punch list items to our satisfaction. Possible Improvements: - When customizing the plans it would be helpful if there was a more methodical process that walks buyer through the customization process. While we are completely satisfied with what we got there are a few things that we missed in the process. Like upgrading to solid core doors on the interior.

We have built several homes with different builders, and even in different states. This is by far the best experience we’ve had. Every project has its hiccups but they were so minimal that we were able to navigate through them without stress or headaches. From the first time we walked into the model home and were greeted by [name removed], who made us feel like family and spent the time to listen and understand exactly what we wanted and needed, to our final walk with [name removed], we never felt rushed or pressured. We were encouraged to visit the home site frequently and to watch the progress. Any questions that we had were addressed quickly and with detail. We never felt brushed off or like we were just another home that you were building. The few items that we’ve found since moving in have also been resolved quickly and with very little disruption to our lives, which is a huge thing with how busy everyone is. All of your trades are exceptionally professional and polite. They wear shoe coverings and treat my home with the utmost respect. During construction both my husband and I were shocked by how clean the house was. Even when trades were there working they kept things tidy and then there was minimal debris left after they were finished. After watching our neighbors house during construction, we applaud you for the respect that you have for your clients and how that translates to the trades you hire! During our build we met with many of your employees, all of them were wonderful to work with! None of them ever rushed us (even in the design process when we had so many decisions to make), they were all happy to be there with us and even engaged with our daughter! It is extremely evident that you’ve built a company based on respect and you stand behind your product! We are so happy we took a wrong turn and ended up here! Thank you! The Weaver Family

All the people we worked with were extremely responsive. If we talked about a feature or getting more information, they always followed up.

The communication. They communicated with us through the entire process from design to close and on warranty concerns. Fast and responsive!

Customer service has been great. Many of the things I have had issues with have been resolved. I have had more warranty claims with components such as windows, furnace, and microwave. I wish I hadn't had these issues, but I understand that these issues are not at the fault of [name removed].

Some of the things we had on our punch list were not done. We had a really good experience with the cabinet people, but the flooring people just went through the motions and we feel like they didn't address our concerns.

Push back on everything. Didn’t care to even hear what we thought about the construction process. Kept telling us that we “were getting more than what most customers get.” The design center choices were a joke. We could have gotten the same quality or maybe even better with a tract builder. The subcontractors did substandard work. The sheer amount of caulk used in this house to cover up mistakes was ridiculous. The layout for closet rods shows no forethought for maximizing space…….

The warranty service has, thus far, been great! [name removed] is super responsive and always professional. He has been easy to work with and resolved each and every issue (no matter how small) to our satisfaction. He is knowledgeable and always gives options and professional advice. The teams that have come out to repair various issues have (for the most part) been friendly, clean and respectful -- and have done a great job with repairs without causing any further issues.

I like that the home has character and seems to be well built, but the finishes can be cheap quality for the price of the home. The warranty is absolute garbage and is pretty much worthless. We have had many warranty issues that are flat-out ignored with no concern about fixing them.

Disliked how we were treated and the overall process. We went with Giddens Homes because they appeared different, a higher quality than other companies. But overall, it has been a let down for what we expected. The best part has been our contractor, as he has been there to help any way he can. But ultimately he has minimal control over all the fine details. He would have to micromanage to accomplish that, and that is not conducive to the effectiveness of his position.

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.
