Birmingham, AL, on May 15, 2025

There has been some good response to small issues. Whilst larger issues were just not addressed, like the drainage- even though the builder came and assessed the yard and where the drainage was insufficient (water flowing over and damaging the fence)

Newcastle homes is a fraud and a joke. I regret our decision to have ever entered into the predatory contract with Newcastle that we entered into

We were ineligible to change the Pre-selected paint selection for the home. The quality is not the best and easily scuffs/stains. In hind site, Wife wished we paid a bit extra to change color or quality to eggshell or satin finish so walls are more resistant to stains.

From very beginning I loved the neighborhood. Drove through many times. Working toward the contract might have gone more smoothly with the Newcastle on site agent but all worked out fine. Working with the Newcastle builder from the beginning phase, walk through, and after move has been GREAT!! The attention he gave to every detail, every blue tape, every little thing was super! After move in, came back to check if I had any issues. The builder has given so much to this move and making sure everything in the house was working properly.

I enjoyed the entire process. My biggest issue is my retaining wall. It was a challenge to get new castle to install it now it is starting to separate. Not sure if it was built in the most stable way and that is my biggest issue

My builder [name removed] was very easy to work with and if I had anything come up he contacted me and came out to take care of the issue.

Lack of communication about our yard setup. We did not know about the drainage easement until after we moved in and the drainage issues that followed. I had to find the missing roof boots after a large rain. We had little to no updates from the agents on duty. Almost all updates came from the builder ([name removed]). [name removed] was very flexible with coordinated walk throughs throughout the building process. [name removed] was very helpful and patient with us at the design meeting.

Having to work through the agent to get to construction supervisor cause confusion and loss of communication. Response to inquiries was slow to nonexistent, costing Newcastle Homes money and my family time.

Newcastle did a great job in communicating with us throughout the build process. Our build was contingent on the sale of our old house, so we appreciated it when they were able to give us plenty of notice that our home would be finished ahead of schedule. They were open to our requests during the build and the final walk through and overall were very easy and pleasant to work with.

We were told something would be done about the pond in the back of our house, but so far nothing has been done.

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.
