Closed on this house, Lot 109, on 3/14/18, 3-1/2 months later than promised. Salesman told us a pack of lies from day 1: elevation of lot, trees on last 30 ft., lots available, garage door opener, extent of easement, elevation of lots behind us and across the street. They never told us that the pool and clubhouse were 10-12 years old and in disrepair (termites in clubhouse, pool needed resurfacing). Told me he didn't have the keys so I couldn't get in to see everything up close. There was a terrible lack of communication (we were in California) about all details and delays. In my opinion, the workmanship is sub par at best. Their subcontractors are the cheapest (unskilled) that money can buy. So, apparently the houses were not selling fast enough so they lowered the prices! That was quite a shock to us as we had paid a pretty high price, we thought, for the house. We are dealing with "warranty" work now. All 3 bathroom needed to be retiled (even now, not the best), and went thru about 6 different tile setters before job finished. 15 months later, they still haven't completed repairs on 1 year warranty list. We also have a structural problem that has been repaired and "remediated" last year, but returned in January and cracked further 4 days before "structural engineer" came to house to inspect. Got the report today -- he said the prior repairs were adequate. How can that be true when it moved again twice this year? So, crack in wall above doorway, wallboard shifted upstairs, new nailpops in front hall, in line with wallboard shift, wavy wall adjacent to crack in wall, new nailpops all along the support beam in question and ceiling above. Repair was adequate? I think not! Love the floorplan, don't love the builder! User's recommendation: Caveat emptor.
