Before you should deal with Lennar be aware that Lennar is 2nd worst builder in USA in terms of…read morecustomer satisfaction. I got to experience this first hand. I signed a purchase agreement on a home. A week later they dropped prices on similar homes by $22K. We requested them to adjust the price as any decent national builder would do. But Lennar doesn't give a s**t about you once you are trapped in the contract. So they denied. Never again in my life I'm doing business with this company. I advise you all to also add price drop contingency in your purchase agreement if you decide to deal with the devil or better yet stay away.

Today I got harassed by Lennar's lender Eagle home mortgage telling me that they will rerun my…read morecredit again since the loan application is on file and they want an email stating I wont be using them as a lender. This is something I had told them in Nov/Dec and asked them specifically not to run my credit. They did that anyways and now they are behind my back to ruin my credit since I did not chose their preferred lender. Its really a frustrating experience.

Overall well made house. The problem is totally mismatched single-stage HVAC equipment for a 2 zone…read morehouse. After 6 years of occupancy both the Carrier furnace and A/C had to be replaced - big bucks. A single stage with a one phase zoned system would have worked perfectly. Many neighbors have found leaking roofs, drains and cracks in their new homes. Buyer Beware. Make sure you totally check the functionality of your equipment with competent 3rd party company - even with a new house check everything.

I purchased a Signature homes in the Acacia community in Oakley last year Oct 24. I have to say…read morethat the home is built extremely well! The windows have great sound reduction, the doors including the front door are solid not flimsy of cheap. The electric panels looked amazing individually labeled even our home inspector was impressed. He was also impressed with the the attic, insulation was done well, heat shielding etc. I have had to use the warranty on some minor fixes like finishes but they are extremely responsive and get things handled asap. Shout out to Eddie as well my wife and I appreciate you!

Roberto and his brother did great work on complete remodeling of two bathrooms for us. They are…read morereliable and honest. They paid great attention to detail when performing the work. They also worked very efficiently (more efficiently that any contractor I have seen) and were able to complete the work in a very reasonable amount of time. We hope to hire Roberto and his brother to do additional work in the future for us.

Have used Enrique's Tile for my former San Ramon home - he installed marble all throughout my…read moreground floor. For my Danville home - I had hideous colored concrete floor for the Italian/Mediterranean home. I upgraded/renovated and had Enrique's Tile install travertine. I love marble but the maintenance is just too much (3 teenagers and 2 cats) unlike the travertine. Still beautiful, natural stone but less maintenance. I will gladly recommend Enrique's Tile; will use again for future projects.

We moved in to Shea Homes' Sage Community in Livermore last year. My wife is disabled so we chose a…read morefirst floor condo. We do have a upstair unit living above us. We have had terrible vibrations from walls/ceiling whenever they walk upstairs. First wall mirrors vibrate and recently a fire sprinkler fell off due to vibration and debris coming off as well. We asked many times for Shea Homes to come out and do a test/inspect to see if there's anything to remedy/improve this issue. No action is what they decide to do. I would not buy from Shea Homes ever again!

We moved into the Sage community and it is really nice, we love the house and amenities that are…read moreincluded by Shea and managed by the HOA. The only thing that is frustrating is the quality work of the garage, understand that it is an unfinished garage but there is a difference between unfinished and bad work. What we have is "bad work, but to code," this includes uneven walls, bad patch jobs, and tape lines that cannot be covered with just paint. I hired a contractor that did an even worse job trying to cover it up. If you are buying a Shea home and plan to eventually finish the garage then pay Shea to do it and don't make the same mistake we did. When we did the final walk through we tried to add the upgrade to the garage but it was too late. What was supposed to be an easy fix turned into a nightmare and Shea won't fix it.

Our project was a major remodel practically the entire house was rebuilt (with 2-3 walls left) due…read moreto fire. Michael S at MHD was assigned to our project and performed exceptionally. He has a knack for taking what we envision and creating plans spot on to our design intent. He helped us pick various design elements that are consistent with a modern farm house home. The turn around town for his work was days not weeks and his personal and professional demeanor is a welcome surprise. We would love to work with Michael and MHD again in the future.

Simon at Sasco and his team did a great job on our small commercial building at a fair price…read more We had them replace some large support beams that had dry rot and replace two stairways. They did the work in record time and did such a good job cleaning up after themselves that I almost did not notice they had been there (other than everything looked brand new and freshly painted!) Simon has a masters degree in civil engineering, unlike most of the contractors that I have worked with in the past, and their estimation was very professional and accurate. When they came in on budget, we were thrilled. We are a small 14-owner office condo association, so that was much appreciated! I am sure they can handle very large commercial projects, but we were glad to have their capable group on our smaller project.

Sasco quoted our living room expansion/remodel, as did a friend of ours who is also a contractor. I…read morewas surprised that Sasco came in within our budget and timeline, and our friend couldn't come near the price and end date in his quote (!) Simon was great to work with and he gave the project attention to detail that I wouldn't have even thought to look for. If a problem arose, he was quick to get it taken care of. My husband called him even on weekends and off hours when he needed to talk about an aspect of the project, and he was always available. I was confident he had our best interest in mind. We're incredibly pleased with the way our home looks now (on time and at budget) and I've already recommended Sasco to friends! Thanks.

Finally was rushed by Toll Brothers in Morgan hill to close purchase ASAP…read more I rushed by paying cash and closed fast. The only problem was escrow called agent and told them the home has closed and to release the Keys to buyer. IT WAS 3:PM AT I HAVE BEEN WAITING NEAR BY TO PICK THEM UP AND WAS TOLD WAIT UNTIL TOMORROW DUE TO HAVE OFFSIT MEETING. I was told one day earlier someone would give the keys from the construction site if the sales agent was out. I left with no keys. I had been told many lies for everyone from sales, construction and corporate during my purchase experience.

First of all I would like to say that Toll Brothers does build amazing homes with great floorplans,…read morebut that is what you pay a premium for. When you pay a premium you also expect those finishes to be done correctly and in a timely manner. I have been waiting for nearly a year to get certain flaws corrected since taking possession of the home and am still waiting. They rushed to get the home ready so they could get it off their books by the end of the year and now we are stuck with the consequences. I have taken time off and rearranged my schedule in order to be present for the workers who are scheduled to arrive and no one ever shows up. This is unbelievably frustrating. So be aware, if you are okay with the house as is when buying Toll Brothers great. But be prepared to fight for any corrections that need to be done. And on a side note, we just received a letter that their mortgage arm was hacked and all of our information stolen. I suspect a class action lawsuit is in the near future for them.
