closing date pushed out with little to no insight as to why the delays. Found issues to be addressed in the home prior to closing and have since move in, I have submitted work orders to correct issues to which I have not been given a time frame as to when they will be addressed.

I liked that every question I had about my home was answered and explained. I had the privilege to visit my home in all the stages of construction with sales personnel letting me know what was being done to our home.

I didn't like that it took a year to build. The quality of some of the materials are cheap. And we were promised a $100 Home Depot card that was never given to us.

I love Pacific Communities homes and customer services, but I will say that some of the materials that were used to build my home are not the best quality. The paint and cabinets are my biggest concern. Overall I am very happy with my home.

Pacific Communities has a great team that helps throughout the entire process of purchasing your home. They go above and beyond to help people purchase homes. The plans offered have very nice layouts and are spacious. I would definitely recommend others to Pacific Communities.

I appreciated that the process to get started was easy. I liked how I was able to customize some features in the house. I disliked being in escrow for over a year.

The A/C system is said to be up to par with code but not to the size of the home, the unit runs and has trouble keeping up. I’ve been waiting for my food to come and get fixed and have yet to hear back from [name removed] on a date of when they will arrive. Some of the repairs in the cabinets that where done where crappie and for the amount of time we waited I expected to have them just replace the damaged face’s on the drawers and not just patch them and give them a horrible finish.

I feel like the warranty service is fair but the response time to fix or repair something takes too long. Also, getting in touch with the appropriate person to call was a difficult process. After reporting what needed to be fixed and them saying they would send someone, it took me calling to follow up after almost a week or so to find out when someone was going to come. This was in the middle of a summer heat wave and there was no way we couldn't use or air conditioner. But our issue was that there was a water leak somewhere so when we turned on the air conditioner water would leak from the ceiling. Of course, someone eventually came but I feel like this could have been an easier process and resolved in a more timely manner.
