Mckinney, TX, on Jan 28, 2023

Our agent [name removed] was very informative, nice and supportive throughout the whole process. Our builder [name removed] went above and beyond to ensure everything was done right and to our satisfaction. He is very skilled at his trade and deeply cares about the houses and the people he builds them for. I will recommend grand home to friends and family and when I do refer them, I make sure that [name removed] be their builder. Only one thing that was very unfortunate and cause so my stress for us was design center with [name removed]. I would definitely tell people to avoid having her as their design consultant. [name removed] was intrusive, rude, condescending and arrogant. If given option at the design center, we likely would have spent a lot more money. [name removed] home could do 2 things to elevate their business. 1- Elevate [name removed] and [name removed] to position of higher position in the company where they could be responsible for training people. 2- fire [name removed]

What I didnt like : - Process was too fast and we had to take decision in very quick time. All the decisions we took fall in place for us so we were good else it would have been nightmare as we can not change any thing once contract is signed. - No formal process to track progress . we used to get updates on messages. it would hav ebeen great if i would have had some portal to check update.

I like the floor plan and community we build our house. Overall Quality is good, but was expecting more. Building house with GrandHomes has educated me on what to expect and when. [name removed] did pretty good job and [name removed] is Amazing, she kept us well informed. Things I dislike - [name removed] did very poor job and misled builder with incomplete PSA, which I could not verified. We made biggest mistake in trusting her. Result of that, NO storage under window sitting, Master Bedroom Bath vanity raised instead of floating to match model. I was told my exterior to be white, and there are many more.

The quality of construction is not good at all. Had leaks, cracks, Wood Floor,Fence , electrical,Ugly Paint Pacthes issues all over the house, and the warranty Claims take forever. It does not make sense that only one warranty claim gets worked at a time. Commitment from the Builder are not yet fulfilled. There is a big list from the day of closing which gets pushed over and over. Builder's contact changed without any notice and all the commitments he gave are not being honored. [name removed] sure whom to trust anymore.

The quality of the constructions is very poor, I notice the crack ranging from 5 inches to 20+ inches all over the house. All the door knobs are of poor quality and not fitted properly on the doors. I have at-least 4 door knobs that have become loose and fell down from the doors. External water sprinkler system has issues from Day1, I have been told it will be fixed and made me sign the house while closing with an exception and it still leaking after 10 months. Based on my experience [name removed] homes is the worst builder i have seen when it comes to building the house with quality and will never ever buy or recommend a house to anyone in-fact i already did that and will do. Hope this survey will not become like a routine survey instead gandhomes management will take some action so that it will be helpful for other buyers. Thanks

I disliked all of the mistakes that were made during the build. [name removed] has also told me that they would fix things and they haven’t. I still have water damage in my front room due to a leaky window from faulty installation. I have a tub that needs to be refinished after tile was dropped over and over from the 5 times they had to replace all of it. I have a fan that died while we we trying to change a lightbulb. The new refrigerator that came with the house has already had to be repaired due to to a leak and it was missing a shelf in the freezer that I had to replace. I am nervous about what is going to pop up after my 1 year warranty is up. I will never ever ever purchase a [name removed] [name removed] again.

I chose [name removed] homes because i grew up in a grand home and thought it was one of the best builders out there but after getting my home i have come to see that i may have been wrong. Dont get me wrong, i love the design and the home esthetics but when it comes to the quality as well as the customer service im a bit iffy regarding my experience. After several times of trying to get things looked at/fixed, i pretty much gave up because i would either not hear back or they would come start a job and never finish. I truly do not think it is right or fair to have such an experience but i guess we live and we learn. I wouldve loved to be able to say i would recommend [name removed] homes but i/we (as well as some of my neighbors that i have gotten to know over the past year) have had several issues from leaks without solutions, cracks in the home, unfinished items in the home, sprinklers not working until just a couple months ago, etc. Just one too many things for a new build.

I still have projects in my home that have not been completed. I was told that one of my bathtubs was going to be refinished because the tile work was so XXXXX ty and had to be redone at least 5 times. They would let the tile just fall into the tub and never protected it. The tub has a ton of scratches and dings all over it. My frameless shower also has huge gaps between the wall and the glass. I would be able to put my fingers through the gaps but they are filled with silicone.

From Contract until my house was framed ( prior to [name removed] taking over the build) the communication and service was horrible. Prior to [name removed] I had at least 6 builders managing the build of my house. when he came in July, the sheetrock wasn't up in spite of the house being framed in December of 2020. My house was partially framed for over 6 months and [name removed] was very condescending when I asked for an update on why my house was delayed versus another house near by. Also, I January I was told my sliding ( stacking ) doors were changing from aluminum to vinyl. However, I was not told they would go from 4 doors which is what I requested and is what is in the model to three doors, which is what is installed. when I asked about it prior to closing, I was told that is what I signed off on. Which is not true, because I was never informed I was not receiving what I requested and assumed I was paying for which is the stacking doors in the model in Prosper. [name removed], did what she could, but once she did the sale part, the build was out of her hands.

After 5 mos we have a big punch list of warranty items that are mostly centered around lack of attention to detail and your trade guys not respecting the work of their counterparts. Dissapointing to spend this kind of money and have ceiling leaks that point back to water barrier being tampered with by others before brick was installed. That is but one example and anothert is our microwave is not level, but we ar etold this is cosmetic, therefore not a "warranty" item and we should have caught before closing, when you guys delayed our closing 3-4x and were 8 weeks behind...

[name removed] [name removed] is still making repairs to this home. I haven’t enjoyed the home because I live in a construction zone. I will never buy a home from you all ever again. I will never refer a friend.

I still have projects in my home that have not been completed. I was told that one of my bathtubs was going to be refinished because the tile work was so XXXXX ty and had to be redone at least 5 times. They would let the tile just fall into the tub and never protected it. The tub has a ton of scratches and dings all over it. My frameless shower also has huge gaps between the wall and the glass. I would be able to put my fingers through the gaps but they are filled with silicone.

I like how they respond to our request I don’t like the length of time it takes to actually take care of the problem

After 5 mos we have a big punch list of warranty items that are mostly centered around lack of attention to detail and your trade guys not respecting the work of their counterparts. Dissapointing to spend this kind of money and have ceiling leaks that point back to water barrier being tampered with by others before brick was installed. That is but one example and anothert is our microwave is not level, but we ar etold this is cosmetic, therefore not a "warranty" item and we should have caught before closing, when you guys delayed our closing 3-4x and were 8 weeks behind...

[name removed] [name removed] is extremely lucky to have a person like [name removed] who maintains a calm attitude despite issues and has worked collaboratively to address the same. Kudos, [name removed] !!

The quality of construction is not good at all. Had leaks, cracks, Wood Floor,Fence , electrical,Ugly Paint Pacthes issues all over the house, and the warranty Claims take forever. It does not make sense that only one warranty claim gets worked at a time. Commitment from the Builder are not yet fulfilled. There is a big list from the day of closing which gets pushed over and over. Builder's contact changed without any notice and all the commitments he gave are not being honored. [name removed] sure whom to trust anymore.

The quality of the constructions is very poor, I notice the crack ranging from 5 inches to 20+ inches all over the house. All the door knobs are of poor quality and not fitted properly on the doors. I have at-least 4 door knobs that have become loose and fell down from the doors. External water sprinkler system has issues from Day1, I have been told it will be fixed and made me sign the house while closing with an exception and it still leaking after 10 months. Based on my experience [name removed] homes is the worst builder i have seen when it comes to building the house with quality and will never ever buy or recommend a house to anyone in-fact i already did that and will do. Hope this survey will not become like a routine survey instead gandhomes management will take some action so that it will be helpful for other buyers. Thanks

I disliked all of the mistakes that were made during the build. [name removed] has also told me that they would fix things and they haven’t. I still have water damage in my front room due to a leaky window from faulty installation. I have a tub that needs to be refinished after tile was dropped over and over from the 5 times they had to replace all of it. I have a fan that died while we we trying to change a lightbulb. The new refrigerator that came with the house has already had to be repaired due to to a leak and it was missing a shelf in the freezer that I had to replace. I am nervous about what is going to pop up after my 1 year warranty is up. I will never ever ever purchase a [name removed] [name removed] again. [name removed] I will continue to discourage anyone who is in the market to buy a new home from buying a [name removed] [name removed].

I chose [name removed] homes because i grew up in a grand home and thought it was one of the best builders out there but after getting my home i have come to see that i may have been wrong. Dont get me wrong, i love the design and the home esthetics but when it comes to the quality as well as the customer service im a bit iffy regarding my experience. After several times of trying to get things looked at/fixed, i pretty much gave up because i would either not hear back or they would come start a job and never finish. I truly do not think it is right or fair to have such an experience but i guess we live and we learn. I wouldve loved to be able to say i would recommend [name removed] homes but i/we (as well as some of my neighbors that i have gotten to know over the past year) have had several issues from leaks without solutions, cracks in the home, unfinished items in the home, sprinklers not working until just a couple months ago, etc. Just one too many things for a new build.

Still have outstanding warranty items to be fixed. Now have 2nd leak in front of town home. When built quality control was obsolete- no flashing around windows and sprinkler system never set up in beginning -still dealing with system not working properly and have had dead trees and plants still waiting to be replaced. Crooked and uneven cabinets- can go on and on
