Everything was great! [name removed] was great and [name removed] was great at keeping us up to date when there would be delays or when things would be moving quicker than expected. [name removed] did get us in our home when he said he would. Pretty good experience.
Birmingham, on Jul 10, 2022
They respond to the request very promptly. So far, haven’t experienced any issues
Birmingham, on Nov 25, 2022
The workmanship was shoddy and many items were incorrect- not completed properly. Even if errors found - not corrected timely or with satisfaction.
Birmingham, on Oct 30, 2022
The timeline on getting some things finished on our house was very slow. These were things that should have been completed before closing or at least in the first few months. We are overall extremely happy we love everything about our house and have been very pleased besides that.
Birmingham, AL, on Jan 28, 2022
We were over all very pleased with the majority of our home build. There are a few things that we moved in that were not completed but [name removed] and newcastle have been great at communicating when those things will be completed.
Birmingham, on Jun 09, 2022
They are difficult to work with. It is very hard to get them to come out and deal with problems
Birmingham, on Oct 27, 2022
I did not dislike a thing, [name removed] and [name removed] were incredible to deal with. Any issues I had with my home the warranty department was so quick to respond & get fixed.
Birmingham, AL, on Jan 02, 2022
The builder ([name removed]) & agent team ([name removed] & [name removed] - KW Vestavia) were fabulous to work with! Even when hiccups happened, they took ownership and helped us grow through it all and turn it around! We couldn’t be happier with our overall experience!
Birmingham, on May 30, 2022
My husband and I have reached out about several things multiple times and it takes weeks to hear back. We both work outside of the home so it’s difficult to be home for things to get fixed that should have been done months ago.
Birmingham, on Oct 25, 2022
All painting, trim work, concrete and light fixtures installed VERY poorly. If I had to do it all again I would NEVER used New Castle Homes!!!! Extremely unhappy overall!
Birmingham, AL, on Dec 09, 2021
Likes - [name removed] offered timely updates regarding the building process. Dislikes - the design center and builder do not know the same information. We were told certain things were included by the design center only to find out they were not from the builder. We had to have multiple phone calls and meeting regarding upgrades to our shower because of the poor communication from the design center to the builder. Quality - our home is a $485K home, but the quality does not match this price. The drywall work is not done well, the painting is mediocre at best & we’ve already had to have breakers replaced in the 6 weeks we’ve been in the home. Additionally we have a list of warranty items that are about to be submitted.
Birmingham, on May 11, 2022
The customer service with the warranty department has been outstanding!
Birmingham, on Sep 11, 2022
I dislike how so many things have gone wrong and unaddressed within a year of purchasing. Poor communication with warranty!
Birmingham, AL, on Oct 10, 2021
Everything was done by final walk thru. No one could predict [name removed] would cause so many issues. It wasn’t prefect but the final result was/is only thing that matters.
Birmingham, on Apr 16, 2022
While we understand that each home is made by human hands, we completely understand that things will come up and concerns will arise. So what we can appreciate the absolute most is the promptness to respond to repair requests. We are very pleased with the warranty service and customer care experience when we've had to contact them. They took complete ownership of any issue and made sure that it was repaired or corrected to our satisfaction. It is clear that they are in the business of doing right by their customers and making their homes a happy place to live in and be proud of!
Birmingham, on Aug 23, 2022
The quality of the work and craftsmanship does not match the price point of Newcastle Homes
Birmingham, AL, on Aug 10, 2021
The commitment to quality was a definite plus
Birmingham, on Apr 09, 2022
Things have fallen through the crack with communication. Still waiting for things to be completed that were supposed to be take care of before closing
Birmingham, on Aug 17, 2022
There have been a ton of issues since we moved in some resolved, some not resolved, some reoccurring issues and not resolve! Overall very dissatisfied!
Birmingham, AL, on Mar 18, 2021
The people were great to work with!!! After we moved in a lot of minor details noticed, like missed spots painting, chips in floors, erosion in back yard, large cracks in cement.
Birmingham, on Aug 20, 2021
Since my walk through before closing in March, I was told by the building staff that they would fix the items, such as loose bannister, scratched vent in kitchen. Still not done.
Birmingham, on Jul 24, 2022
Horrendously mismanaged design process. Poor communication throughout the entire building process. Lack of attention to detail (we found numerous easily-noticeable things missing or done incorrectly throughout the build process.
Birmingham, on Aug 09, 2021
They have been efficient and prompt. it did take some time when the warranty emails were not answered due to the change in personnel. Otherwise, it has been excellent.
Birmingham, on Jul 01, 2022
[name removed] has been there for us when we had issues and are very happy with our experience
Birmingham, AL, on Jan 22, 2021
The only suggestion would be to have a list of the purchased upgrades to look at for the final walk-through. Other than that, it was great!
Birmingham, on May 20, 2021
I have addressed a lot of things, I am still waiting on the remaining kitchen tile that was not left in the home, the columns on the front porch were half painted, the driveway is still two-done
Birmingham, on Dec 17, 2021
I cannot think of anything! Our home was built while we were getting things ready to move from Ohio. There were a couple of meetings where we had to come down to see how things were going and sign off on things. But, the design center experience was terrific. We may have had 2 design changes for $250 each because of misunderstanding on our part. Newcastle built my wife's dream home! The floor plan is so convenient and we are extremely pleased with every update. Truly, the experience could not have been better!
Birmingham, AL, on Jan 18, 2021
I like the community as for the reason I chose to build here, but my dislike is very long so I will attempt to be brief My issue started from the design center to the final stage of closing, I felt my home was rushed and must thrown together. I had alot of issues with my plans that I now have to live with, [name removed] have issues that have not been completed and I closed on this home a month ago tomorrow 1/18/21. * Fireplace was not as I I wanted it * Hit and miss with the paint * Patio door does not close/lock * Driveway has machine marks throughout
Birmingham, on May 12, 2021
I’ve been told that [name removed] would come and begin the warranty repair/replacement about a month ago and never showed up. I have a list of repairs needed which was communicated via email with New Castle.
Birmingham, on Nov 05, 2021
I like the people like [name removed], the community project manager for [name removed] [name removed].
Birmingham, AL, on Dec 24, 2020
My purchase experience was stressful and I was disappointed in the service provided by Newcastle. Personally, I checked on the building of my home weekly . The first error was the wrong brick was installed. It had to be removed and replaced. Also, I made it known and advised early on to the contractor and Newcastle realtor that the tiles I saw (still in boxes) placed in the home for each bathroom, kitchen and fire place were not what I selected. A week later, the incorrect tiles were installed in every room. It took 2-3 weeks for the tiles to be removed, to order the correct tile and to replace it. This caused my closing date to be pushed back. On the day of my closing, the gas was not turned on so my closing was pushed back a few hours. My personal home inspector found several issues that had to be resolved a week before closing to include insulation in the attic, soffits and could not check for gas or hot water at the time so he had to return a second time (the day of the closing). My purchase experience was very stressful and to add, at the closing, there was no representative from Newcastle [name removed] present nor did one reached out during the process to apologize or acknowledge the inconveniences throughout my experience. Also, I am making a long list of items to be touched up within the next year, to include a closet door that will not close. Very disappointing.
Birmingham, on Apr 21, 2021
We absolutely love our home and the entire building experience. It was fantastic from start to finish. The only complaint we have are the drainage issues on the sides of the house. Water pools and stays stagnant a good bit for days after a rain or sprinkler system running, making it a hotbed for mosquitoes as well as a mud pit. Currently there just isn't anywhere for the water to drain based on there not being a grade. I've brought this up a few times but continue to be told that it's fine and that I shouldn't worry. I've heard of 3 other homeowners have the same complaint so it doesn't feel like it's just us. It's something we're trying not to be difficult about as we've loved working with Newcastle but this seems to be something that Newcastle has had a lot of pushback on. We totally understand this requires some additional work so we're trying to be empathetic.
Birmingham, on Nov 03, 2021
We have like the whole experience. [name removed] and [name removed] are excellent in all they do.
Birmingham, AL, on Dec 19, 2020
[name removed] was so patient and professional. He answered all of my questions and put me at ease.

Birmingham, AL, on Dec 12, 2020
Our experience was incredible and pretty seamless. I had heard horror stories with builders so I kind of expected some speed bumps. Didn’t really experience any of that. The super intendants [name removed] and [name removed] are incredible. They still check up on us. I’m so impressed that I wouldn’t even bat an eye at inviting them into our home for dinner. Great group.
Birmingham, on Apr 04, 2021
We have been here almost 6 months, [name removed] came over and handled several things. [name removed] now we have some cabinet issues that need attention BUT we know this has been a “crazy year” for every industry so when this can be addressed we would love to have them fixed.
Birmingham, on Oct 12, 2021
[name removed] has been a God-send. Very personable and helpful. Sometimes he does not follow up with his promises (there is a ton on his plate, so I understand). There are a few finishes in our home that look quickly and inaccurately done.
Birmingham, AL, on Dec 08, 2020
Your staff have been great to deal with. Follow up is not always consistent. Would have liked a little more flexibility with the home instead of “No, can’t do that.” There are some items in my home that are not designed correctly, basically I’ve lived in a lot of homes....and theses issues would be inexpensive and easy to correct during build process. Would be able to give you specific input if you so desire.
Birmingham, on Apr 02, 2021
[name removed] has communicated with us often during the process. Workmen we’re efficient and repairs were made correctly.
Birmingham, on Sep 09, 2021
In this price point I expected a top quality finished product. That was not what we received.
Birmingham, AL, on Oct 30, 2020
We were not kept up on communication on the different building stages. When we brought an issue to their attention, they said it was an unfinished product. It was as though the subs were just building and no one was managing the process. Also, on several occasions subs were drinking alcohol at the job site.
Birmingham, on Sep 01, 2021
My house has constant water runoff issues on three corners of the lot. Newcastle came out once and said it’s fine. Well months later now it’s an absolute mud pit on all three sides. It needs a French drain in the worst way. It’s hard to even mow the grass.
Birmingham, AL, on Oct 30, 2020
I liked the scheduled time was great The decision process for the design were perfect not too much information. I liked the fact that alot of standards gor new castle eere upgrades for harris and doyle.
Birmingham, on Feb 10, 2021
Our dishwasher started leaking after 2months. Having to go through Samsung was and still is a nightmare. They came out 3 times to “try” and fix it and not much effort was taken. We are now in the process of getting a refund. After about 4 weeks we still do not have a refund. This is because All South does not do the exchange program that Samsung offers. So we bought a brand new appliance from All South in the hopes that one day we will get our money back because I refuse to go months without a dishwasher in a brand new house. This is unacceptable!!! Samsung has given us the run around. [name removed] I just purchased a brand new home and then had to go out a replace a brand new dishwasher. In my opinion this should not be my problem!! If I bought a new dishwasher in September when we closed on the house then I should not have to buy another one again.
Birmingham, AL, on Oct 12, 2020
Everything went well except everything on the punch list was not addressed.
Birmingham, on Jan 21, 2021
Both of these are terrible. The lack of willingness to fix something that was obviously caused by the builder is appalling. [name removed] the communication to fix the minuscule things y’all will actually cover is laughable.
Birmingham, on Aug 05, 2021
Everything. House is falling apart. We have had leaks, lights fall out of ceilings, and now our garage door is falling out of the ceiling due to shotty workmanship. Paint is chipping off walls. The materials used and the builders hired are so sub-par there are no words. When there is an issue, the reply is delayed days and all you hear are excuses.
Birmingham, AL, on Oct 12, 2020
We really disappointed with our design appointment and before closing we showed lot of incomplete things and those are not completed as they commited.
Birmingham, on Jan 10, 2021
New Castle wants to make sure that the homeowner is 100% satisfied so the warranty was a great addition to our buying experience. Both [name removed] and [name removed] stood by us during our pre and post build experience. We enjoy our new home and community.
Birmingham, AL, on Sep 12, 2020
Like: Addressed concerns quickly; flexibility to offer a contract contingent on sale of prior home Dislikes: Have to make design decisions too quickly and not able to contemplate decisions (suggestion: give buyer all choices ahead to look at prior to design appt. and give buyer a short time , say 48 hours, to change decisions after design appt with no fee); mistakes made in building that were not in accordance with Plan/specs (most we had to point out) ; contractors allowed to trash the lot and home- personably observed leftover food and trash, beer cans, and workers with coolers of beer in their vehicles. Contractors did not clean up at end of day. Also, contractors messed each other’s work up- something would be installed and it would get damaged by someone else. We were asked to do a first walk through before material things were complete (ex: kitchen backsplash grout , MBA floor missing tiles) and the house was dirty.
Birmingham, on Jun 22, 2021
After meeting [name removed] she quickly understood our buying criteria and met our budget, size of house, lot selection with our budget and move in date. She was also easy to reach post sale as we worked out final details. Building a semi custom home with upgrades takes a joint effort between the buyer and New Castle so it worked out well for us.

Everything. House is falling apart. We have had leaks, lights fall out of ceilings, and now our garage door is falling out of the ceiling due to shotty workmanship. Paint is chipping off walls. The materials used and the builders hired are so sub-par there are no words. When there is an issue, the reply is delayed days and all you hear are excuses.

After meeting [name removed] she quickly understood our buying criteria and met our budget, size of house, lot selection with our budget and move in date. She was also easy to reach post sale as we worked out final details. Building a semi custom home with upgrades takes a joint effort between the buyer and New Castle so it worked out well for us.
