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:...read more

  • 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...read less

Too many delays. Very disorganized that ended up costing me a lot more. Low-quality materials.

I like the transparency of the builder and the honest effort in getting the house build timely

We are a first time new construction home buyer. Wish we were briefed of the process and our options (for example 3% realtor commission), choice is single or double door garage etc. Inability to make minor changes after contract signing and close to closing, including very minor things like providing a safety lock in the master bath. Many issues were left for warranty in spite of bringing it up during HO1 and 2. Poor quality of material, not at all representing Grand homes. Little attention to detail. Not much of a choice of plan, just had to choose from 2. Liked the plan overall. Location beats and compensates for everything negative!

I liked the weekly updates provided by [name removed] Homes during the construction phase.

The experience with [name removed], Sales [name removed], was great. The rest was not pleasant. A lot of problems in the walkthrough, materials with bad quality, contractor doing a bad job and pressure to close what didn’t allow a good finishing of the home.

Took longer than expected however this was due to material supply shortages and [name removed] homes was very transparent and open throughout the process.

The extremely low quality of the majority of the tradesmen and their sloppy work, combined with [name removed] [name removed]' inability to adequately supervise them and insist on a good work product. Further, we did not appreciate [name removed] [name removed]' insistence that we close rapidly, which caused two things to occur. 1) our ability to fully examine the finish work was nullified, and 2) [name removed] [name removed] failed to clean our home, including the paint splatter left all throughout the edges of our wood flooring (left by the painter, who failed to perform any prep work before painting our home). You cannot stand in any part of our home and not see extremely sloppy finish work by the trim carpenter or the painter. [name removed] [name removed] failed us in that regard.

I dislike that we where not given a week to inspect the house prior to moving in. When imperfections were pointed out they were not corrected in a timely manner and we are still waiting. We were told we would inspect a week out and this was on the [name removed] Homes website as well. There's just too much smudged paint on the walls, ceilings, doors and base boards. There's just too many imperfections in this house. When we contracted we thought we would be getting a "grand home", however we feel like we have gotten a used car off of a lemon lot! We wish we could walk away, Mr. [name removed] told us we were getting a great home and this did not happen. There's nails left in the gutters and when it rains we have standing water. The corking throughout the house is horrible! I child could have done better. The front door is off center and I have no ideal how some these items pass inspects. Cabinets are not flushed, the wood staining and white paint on the staircase is so sloppy and the trim is loose. The media steps are uneven, the left side comes out a couple of inches more than the right. The trim throughout the house is loose and falling apart. There not drainage on the side of the house to properly drain water, standing water brings lots of mosquitoes. If we did not invest so much into this home, we would have walked away. Once we contacted the supervisor the house was thrown together! We should have gone with [name removed] Homes, they are truly better builders.

The original builder we had did not provide adequate communication and the communication that was given was often inaccurate or straight up lies. Luckily [name removed] and [name removed] stepped in to finish off the build and they were both great.

We had 3 different builders through the construction process. Many of the specific details of our construction were not passed on to the new builder and it made it challenging to obtain ultimate satisfaction. There is room for improvement in communication. [name removed] our last builder was understanding and handled the situation with professionalism.

[name removed] W and [name removed] S were awesome. My builder was great until he moved on to greener pastures in the middle of my build. The transition I feel was not as professional as it should have been. [name removed] took over he was very accommodating but the experience of having a builder versus a site manager is not the same. I feel some things did not get the attention that they should have gotten and when I brought up issues to be fixed or repaired I sometimes felt like it was a hurry up and let's get this done situation. There are still some things that are an issue but just got frustrated and let it go. I must say the level of your business is not GRAND from start to finish. For example we had a sewage flood day 2 of residency by no fault of our own. We had to wait over 12 hours for someone to come out. The warranty supervisor was rude to the point he is never welcome on my property in the future. To display and state things happen it is was it is blew my mind. And to walk in sewage overflow area and track that back through the house....where did you find him. [name removed]....I have no words in my opinion this is not the job for her and I will leave it at that. When you spend the kind of money that we spent and your process from start to finish isn't stellar there is no way to have confidence in recommending or giving positive feedback on your company. Anytime you have to contact warranty in your first week of residency is an issue in itself and to not be met with we'll take care of it with no problem is the worst kind of service you can receive. Caulk does not fix everything neither do sharpies. Overall I would say my satisfactory rating is hovering around 70%. The carpet replacement was a whole mess to expect us to move the furniture and then to replace the carpet and padding that we know aren't what we paid for and to get blown off about it is another issue. Warranty process is definitely unsatisfactory.

[name removed] of all I want to mention, [name removed] is a very outstanding individual that he was the one who made a big difference of the whole experience : at the beginning there were a lot of miscommunication and even lost /no communication, mainly becoz the two people , one manager and one builder originally assigned to us both were no longer with [name removed] home , and i was never notified or contacted by the person who took over/ the other people from the builder...I was very frustrated. Later I met the new builder , the one before [name removed], it was [name removed] a very pleasant experience either, I felt lack of communication and a lot of work got delayed and forgotten , which caused a delay on closing , therefore , I was very disappointed. Until one day, [name removed] took over, the entire experience changed, he had the best “can -do”attitude and listened to our needs and got things done in a timely manner , if it wasn’t because him, I d rate less than 5 on all my experience but he deserves a “all10” review.
