Dislike: 1. Not all issues brought up during final inspection were fixed before closing, not even now, two weeks after we move in. 2. Before signing contract, I was required to pay a lot more deposit than the advertised number Likes: 1. Construction manager is very easy to work with. Communication is open and smooth. 2. [name removed] agrees to fix every issues brought up by me and inspector, even minimal ones.

I do not like how things have started to break within the first year. Cabinet doors are coming off, exhaust fans are noisy, already had a major HVAC issue etc. This does not give me confidence going into year 2, where there will be no builder warranty and I’ll have to bear the cost of it.

The entire contracting process was very smooth. [name removed] was extremely helpful , collaborated throughout the process and made it Very easy on a large value house purchase like this. The construction process was well structured with [name removed] the construction manager setting the right expectations and ensuring everything is running on track. Both have been exceptional and the best customer connoisseurs.

[name removed] has been great to work with thus far. I'm waiting to see how my end of the year goes because there are a lot of cosmetic issues from settling.

We were the first homebuyer in the Painted tree community and with that we were the Guinea Pigs to go through the design selection process which was a extremely bad experience for us. The sales person was horrible and she didn't have any thrive to help the customer to go through the design selection and help them design their homes. After the design selection, we were given a constant update on the progress of the build by [name removed] and [name removed] on a weekly basis. At the end, we did come across a big road block where we were not happy with the Countertops, which we raised it with [name removed] and [name removed]. [name removed] did setup a meeting with the supplier and "[name removed]" (VP of Construction) which went horribly bad as [name removed] does not have any customer service! and made us felt that [name removed] does not care of their customer. This meeting was heated and at the verge of ending the contract. We requested to go further and discuss our concerns with [name removed] (President). We did have a call with [name removed] and it was the game changer experience talking to him, he handled the situation very professionally and handled the situation. Overall [name removed] and [name removed] scores 10/10, [name removed] -10/10 and [name removed] 10/10

The entire experience overall was positive. We had very few issues. [name removed], [name removed], and [name removed] were incredible. Things started off [name removed] with [name removed] at the design center, but were later resolved.

[name removed] - A Truly Exceptional Agent We had the pleasure of working with [name removed] throughout the process of buying and building our home, and we couldn’t be more pleased with his service. From start to finish, [name removed] has been incredibly timely, thoughtful, and considerate in every aspect of the journey. He made sure we were always informed, addressing every question and concern with genuine care and professionalism. One standout moment was when we encountered confusion with LandPro landscaping. [name removed] jumped in immediately, ensuring the issue was resolved swiftly and efficiently, keeping everything on track and making the process stress-free for us. His dedication to making sure everything went smoothly has truly set him apart. [name removed]’s attention to detail, combined with his prompt responses and considerate approach, has made our experience with Southgate Homes an absolute joy. We highly recommend [name removed] to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and compassionate agent. He is the person you want by your side during the home-buying process!

My experience from contract through move-in was very very smooth. Both [name removed] and [name removed] were really helpful. Both answered all my questions, helped me in all the ways they could have during the process. Any issues during the closing was completely addressed by [name removed]. They are the best and I'm glad that they are part of Southgate Team.

Warranty service/customer care service is NOT very good. It has been almost 5 months but no one has come for the warranty orientation despite requesting several times and when invited in the phone behaved very rudely and unprofessionally. Our HVAC system is not working properly (not cooling) despite one time repair. Again, we raise ticket but no come came to fix this issue. Our doors are still not taken care of it does not retract strong enough and latch its own unless it pull it with force. We had few yard station not receiving water properly. A guy came and suggested few steps to take care of and we did take care of those steps, however, it is still not working. These are all at least few items which needs to be taken care of by the warranty people promptly but it is disappointing to see that these basic things have not been taken care of yet!

The wood planks on the floor are developing holes. After the [name removed] warranty team and the installer reviewed and confirmed the issue, it was referred to the manufacturer over a month ago, but there’s still no estimated resolution time. The sharp wood chips are poking at our feet.

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.
