We disliked that we had to find issues that [name removed] did not, Example: patio pillar was not straight, outdoor lighting was not straight, shower was not done properly, the noticeable seam in carpet in the master bedroom and we very much disliked that during our first visit in June (visiting from Arizona) we were told the drawers and cabinets were not yet ‘finished’. We would have NOT purchased home without soft closing cabinets. We have had soft closing cabinets for many years…..Luxury and custom = soft closing cabinets. We would expect construction manager to notice items. It was tough to be one of the first in the neighborhood and see the other builders mow their lots for their customers and have fixtures for them. Pricing is in same ball park. Coming from Arizona builders- this is not luxury at all- it’s median household builds. We did like seeing the lot the home is on, the layout, beams in living room, the waterfall counter top & outlet available on counter. We appreciate [name removed] being responsive when we have concerns.

The experience has been very disappointing we have had a lot of problems and the only response is “ I have to get in front of the powers of be “ for some reason it’s been three month and they can’t find them . So all the problems we are having is still in limbo until they can find the powers to be. It was a lot of money and it all I got was a problem.
