This is the initial complaint on the BBB: We purchased a home from Almont in the *************************** April of 2021. Immediately things started going wrong:1) drainage problem number 1, back behind house, the hill is washing away. I have to call the county to get them to fix it because I am told by Almont they followed standards. 2) I decided to build a retaining wall along my backyard. When my landscape architect checks the retaining wall Almont put up on the side of my house, they discover it is not built to standard suggested engineering instructions and will cause a problem if not redone. I show Almont all the information and they tell me they did it correctly. Cost to me to fix $5000. 3) flooding off hill in front of house across sidewalk and grass is destroying sod. Builder says it will stop because they made changes (this was during walk through), never stopped, was told it was not their issue. Cost to bury drain under sidewalk $500. Put rocks instead of grass so so would not have a muddy mess. 4) brings sod in from *******, half never came in because it was dead. Told by builder they do not warranty landscaping, cost to just have full grass in places they put dead sod, $750. 5) 1 year warranty work put in at about 9 months, takes multiple times and till almost the 2 year **** to get service. 6) Almont is sued and therefore unable to sell houses and instead rents a ton of houses and does not hold renters to any standards. Outside of houses look like c*** 7) HOA (still builder led) which is owned by Almont through a sub company does nothing to keep up the neighborhood and only does something when you call and complain. $600 *************** go where?8) Pool supposed to be part of neighborhood, 2 1/2 years and no pool and nowhere that looks like it would fit a pool. 9) Almont is an incestuous multi shell company organization that cares nothing about anyone but themselves and making money. (My opinion based on my research). However, the house is nice and seemingly built well. (shrug) Their response on BBB was some bullshit like I never sent them any issues or warranty issues. However, that is utter bullshit. Not only did it take them almost a year to reply to my warranty claims but Randy the super told me he would address some of the drainage issues in the front and never did. However, he was related to the owners. The sod that was put down came up from Florida and was dry and ruined when it was put down. The county DID come out and tell me they screwed up the grading and that day brought a Bobcat and redid the grading and planted seed to help hold it together. I can get the county records. I had to redo the retaining wall Almont put in, because a landscape architect came out and said it was not up to industry specifications and was already falling. He told me this when I was paying him to put in the retaining wall across the entire backyard because of what started to be runoff. Furthermore, their response NEVER addressed the issues, it just projects that it is the purchasers issue. Furthermore they were sued while we were only here for a year and all building had to stop and nothing could close because they had a Lis Pendence against them. Therefore they let in a ton of renters and did not require they take care of their properties. The common land is still a mess after 3 years and I have sent many email to the HOA to fix. Finally, the pool they promised took 3 years to start building, is still not built and not that a size was promised is a kiddie size pool and not one you would expect in a $700K neighborhood. Almont has many complaints against them over the same things. Come talk to my neighbors, look at the BBB and their response is always the same. It is the buyers fault. Do me a favor, anyone that reads this, find a phone number for their HQ and get an executive on the phone! If you can accomplish this I will give you a hundred bucks for the information. PS- the published information online will not get it for you. If you think this is ONE consumers source grapes, I would be happy to put together a group of neighbors to talk about their feelings as well. Whatever you do, think twice before buying a home from this builder! I am still looking for my $5000 re-imbursement for the retaining wall that they put in that I had to replace. read more

If there is a negative five star, I will give them negative five star. Purchased NEW CONTRACTION HOUSE from Almont Homes NE, INC. , I am so disappointed. 7 windows leaking water, basement foundations leaking water, and basement door leaking water AS WELL. The inspect and repair more than TEN TIMES, but still leaking. How comes the house can pass the inspection?????? I feel that all the BAD GUYS on Earth are working in this company. Mr. John Davis always ignore my email, he looks friendly and kind, BUT he will do some bad things behind of you. Mr. phil, the VICE PRESIDENT OF ALMONT HOMES, ALWAYS LIE TO US, told us that everything is no problems, BUT the gold always shine and the problems always appear. There are four families in our community are going to sue the Almont Homes NE, INC. NEVER DO BUSINESS WITH THEM!!!!!! read more

THE WORST DECISION EVER!! We bought a house in 2015, and we are still waiting for them to fix the mess they left in my house which they don't want to take responsibility. Poor materials, poor construction, poor maintenance of common areas, a very high HOA fee and nobody knows where the money goes! There's no way to talk to builders because they don't talk to purchaser! There is a completely lack of ethic and respect for the homeowners. read more

My wife and I just bought into Ivey Chase in Dacula,GA. We picked the Claire floorplan with a basement. Everything has been real smooth EXCEPT the realitor on site. Rick Baker was a typical saleman. Told us everything we wanted to hear. We wanted to add some things and his answer was always "well I have to check" then never got a call back. Prices adjust from day to day with him. We cant wait to close so we can be done with this agent and all the headaches . From talking to the other neighbors they delt with same issues. read more

The builder is so cheap! I live in Harbins Landing. The playground they promised looks like something you buy from Walmart. The pool is always filthy with broken chairs. The builder does the bare minimum and with HOA fees at $500.00 you think it would be a nicer neighborhood. read more
