The time between our house being fully constructed/finished and closing was more than 90 days which is extremely frustrating. While our (second) builder took over the project and was great, he was unable to address one major issue with the laundry room cabinets being hung too low to accommodate our washer/dryer combo; so I had to hire the cabinet crew myself to move them up three inches . Otherwise; we're very please with our home.

We enjoyed the entire process starting with [name removed] as our sales agent. [name removed] knows the product and process well and is able to convey this to Buyers in a professional and friendly manner. [name removed]'s communication was exceptional during the sales process and continued until the home was completed and closed on. We really enjoyed working with [name removed] as our GC for the build. As current custom home builders ourselves, we had an appreciation for [name removed]'s attention to detail during all phases of the build. [name removed] did a great job keeping us dialed in on the job's progress via video and text messages. [name removed] is the kind of guy that I would trust on my jobsites in the North based on his knowledge and passion for being in the trades. It's hard to find people with [name removed]'s high degree of commitment to his job and organization. Really, both guys did a great job overall. [name removed] has it figured out pretty good as well for the new buyers moving in. Your information has been very useful, easy to follow and extremely helpful as a new resident. Master Care has done a great out of the gate on our initial punch list items after move-in. Pipper is our MC rep, and she has done a good job setting up appointments and most importantly following thru after the appointment to see if the items have been fixed or remedied. We've enjoyed our time and new home at LMWS since day one and appreciate the hard work the Minto [name removed] has put into our home and the neighborhood as a whole. Cheers!

They don't have customer service for things that went wrong after moving in. We moved in mid December 2024-now May 23-2025. We have had 5 items that needed to be fixed. 1) Outside facet-finally fixed 3 weeks ago. 2) Sliding doors-Very hard to open/close. They came out 3 times and finally last week they fixed it. 3) Crack window-still is not fixed. 4) Bathroom-Water Closet light does not work-loose connection-fix 1 month ago, went out again and still needs to be replace. 5) Kitchen Cabinet are uneven in one section-Still as of May 23 not fixed.

I do however have some reservations about some of the appliances and the quality of said appliances, what I see posted on the website about homeowners having issues with the on demand hot water tank, dishwasher and refrigerator makes me wonder if I should not put some kind of filter/softener system in, to treat the water coming into the home.

Did not like no walk through or punch list prior to closing. As a result, things that aren't right don't get fixed correctly. Always takes the shortcut and when not resolved, crickets. I'll withhold final judgement until the warranty is up. Landscaping is not up to par.

We were fortunate to have a great builder. Other friends haven’t been as lucky. We have a stove issue he even though we paid 3000.00 for upgraded package. Now we have to jump through hoops with whirlpool. The pine straw is horrible. If an upgrade was offered (white shells or stone) I’m positive many would do that. It doesn’t have to be replaced saving in landscaping fees. With only 2 options, our homes would still look alike.

All in Minto has been responsive to our needs. One issue I will CONTINUE to bring up is the garage door. LOUD squeaking and creaking as if it is going to break at any time. I have spoken to other home owners with the same issue and MINTO has corrected the issue for them. Correcting this should NOT be the homeowners responsibility. My wife will only use the front door and not the garage for this reason. How sad is that for the home that costs so much. Will also add that I have brought up before so, more than likely, this survey is never really read by anyone.

Since we moved in, we have to have three breakers replaced due to being to either being defective or to small to carry the load. We have had to call out about our garage door making a horrible noise to which someone came out and spayed something on the rails which seemed to help about a day, so I bought some white lightning grease from Home Depot and take care of it myself. Lastly, we reported our water coming out of our faucets containing black gunk and small waste particles. I even sent a video. A consultant called and set up a date to come out several days later; however, we had a family emergency and flew to Denver during this time. I forgot about the appt cause I was worried and focusing on something else. I received an email from the person and responded to set up another time due to the situation. She never replied, and honestly, I am tired of dealing with Minto and there reps. We once owned a home in Loveland, Colorado that was a DR Horton built subdivision and to tell you the truth, we received better service from them. In regard to the water issue, I found a local company that came out and installed a whole house filter system ($1,850.00) that has taken care of the problem. I really don't expect much from my feedback since it seems to be the Minto way: delay, delay, and the customer just gives up.

Barb from the HOA reached out about my experience and concerns. I responded with concerns about the extremely low level of the pond next to my home. I've watched other ponds in the community and this pond looks terrible compared to the others. I paid a premium for this lot and am extremely disappointed with my lot. Barb has not responded. I believe there is an engineering issue with this pond. The area nearest my house looks more like a drainage ditch than a pond.

Since we moved in, we have to have three breakers replaced due to being to either being defective or to small to carry the load. We have had to call out about our garage door making a horrible noise to which someone came out and spayed something on the rails which seemed to help about a day, so I bought some white lightning grease from Home Depot and take care of it myself. Lastly, we reported our water coming out of our faucets containing black gunk and small waste particles. I even sent a video. A consultant called and set up a date to come out several days later; however, we had a family emergency and flew to Denver during this time. I forgot about the appt cause I was worried and focusing on something else. I received an email from the person and responded to set up another time due to the situation. She never replied, and honestly, I am tired of dealing with Minto and there reps. We once owned a home in Loveland, Colorado that was a DR Horton built subdivision and to tell you the truth, we received better service from them. In regard to the water issue, I found a local company that came out and installed a whole house filter system ($1,850.00) that has taken care of the problem. I really don't expect much from my feedback since it seems to be the Minto way: delay, delay, and the customer just gives up.

Not easy to navigate with all the things they give you. It way too overwhelming.

The kitchen cabinets are our only complaint, but they are still trying to repair them.

Barb from the HOA reached out about my experience and concerns. I responded with concerns about the extremely low level of the pond next to my home. I've watched other ponds in the community and this pond looks terrible compared to the others. I paid a premium for this lot and am extremely disappointed with my lot. Barb has not responded. I believe there is an engineering issue with this pond. The area nearest my house looks more like a drainage ditch than a pond. As I said, there has been no response from anyone regarding this issue.

The process was easy and the communication during the build process was amazing. [name removed] kept us informed with regular updates and pictures since we were out of state during the building of our home.

The time between our house being fully constructed/finished and closing was more than 90 days which is extremely frustrating. While our (second) builder took over the project and was great, he was unable to address one major issue with the laundry room cabinets being hung too low to accommodate our washer/dryer combo; so I had to hire the cabinet crew myself to move them up three inches . Otherwise; we're very please with our home.

Had a fabulous Mastercard representative but have been reassigned one that seems to not really want to resolve some of the issues that should be addressed by Minto builders. Finally inspection is scheduled in July and hope to have a better impression at that point.

They need to hire a different lawn company RCI is overwhelmed and can't take care of the homeowners homes properly. That is the one thing I dislike about living here.

Did not like no walk through or punch list prior to closing. As a result, things that aren't right don't get fixed correctly. Always takes the shortcut and when not resolved, crickets. I'll withhold final judgement until the warranty is up. Landscaping is not up to par.

Most of the employees of Minto that I have worked with have been exceptional from my salesman Anthony Fox, to my contractor Matt Bishop and all the many workers that have come to my home during this process.

Assigning a Care specialist to us is a great asset. Whenever we have an issue we call Joyce and she takes care of the issue within a few days.

We were fortunate to have a great builder. Other friends haven’t been as lucky. We have a stove issue he even though we paid 3000.00 for upgraded package. Now we have to jump through hoops with whirlpool. The pine straw is horrible. If an upgrade was offered (white shells or stone) I’m positive many would do that. It doesn’t have to be replaced saving in landscaping fees. With only 2 options, our homes would still look alike.

Getting repairs done after move in is very hard. I have went through three representatives and still have unfinished work in my house.

All in Minto has been responsive to our needs. One issue I will CONTINUE to bring up is the garage door. LOUD squeaking and creaking as if it is going to break at any time. I have spoken to other home owners with the same issue and MINTO has corrected the issue for them. Correcting this should NOT be the homeowners responsibility. My wife will only use the front door and not the garage for this reason. How sad is that for the home that costs so much. Will also add that I have brought up before so, more than likely, this survey is never really read by anyone.

Quick response to all my inquires or issues. Damion, our Minto representative was attentive to any issues we had, and responded in a very professional and personal way. When he was not available, other representatives at Minto responded in the same way. Everyone from the office was polite and anxious to meet our needs, weather it was a phone call to the office or a home visit. Thank-You!
