My house has been completed for about a year. This was not my first house I had built, so I thought…read moreI knew what to expect. I was wrong, problem after problem. The previous review from Jolanda J., reminds me of my experience. From issues on the roof to the pool. Dents and dings in everything, poor workmanship everywhere and everything in between. Right from the beginning working with Gary Trombley, the sales person. Gary made many promises and kept none. Gary single handed cost me at least $20k. Get everything in writing, do not trust. My roof was built not to code. They had to tear it off in sections and patch it back up. My roof is a big patch job, but Matt Trombley said is was ok, REALLY? They kept it secret and I just happen to discover the issue when I stopped by the house. The inspector said it was a patch job. Very disappointing. The pool, from Tropical Pools. The pool never worked from day 1. The circuit breakers tripped about 4 times a week. Tropical pools said i needed to replace the motor at my cost of $5k. I tried to get this fixed from DM Dean and tropical pools for the next year. Excuse after excuse, I finally call an electrician and he fixed it at my expense. Tropical pools also sent me multiple invoices that were not mine. When i asked for an explanation they said they were all mistakes. Also another mistake was the automation for the pool. Big issue here, first it was in the contract then it was not. Another mistake that cost me $5k. Terrible pool installation, would never recommend this company. The granite, from Stone Art Creations. Very poor job. Promised to give me the granite for standard price, then at closing he charged me $4k. The fact his granite is graded higher than the competition in the area means he is priced higher for the same granite, a double whammy. When i tried to discuss he wouldn't answer my phone calls or call me back. Also, interesting there were other complaints on the BBB site this company did this same thing to others. How about the water leak I pointed out at closing. Asked to have it fixed for months, i finally had to hire a plumber at my expense to get it fixed. Multiple calls did not move Matt to get it fixed, this was a common theme with Matt and DM Dean. The punch list at closing was about 20 item's. Took me over a year to get these fixed. I fixed half of them and paid for others after frustration. I learned the hard way, Do Not pay DMDean the balance until the entire job is done, they will never complete the job. How about the plumbing in the laundry was put on wrong the wall and the window was the wrong size, much smaller than plans. I pointed this out multiple times, nothing done. How about DMDean changed the back elevation on the house. I was not told and discovered this change was made without my approval. Other changes also done without my approval. They did what ever they wanted to. I could continue with the dents and dings in everything, the poor landscaping, etc. but i think most get the message. There a lot of builders in the area, my recommendation is to pick someone else. The quality was poor , the communication terrible, the support terrible, lots of other issues. I made a big mistake!

A great house? Sure--if you don't need a roof! When we…read morepurchased our brand-new home from DM Dean, we were promised a high-quality build with a roof that could withstand winds up to 135 mph. Yet, within just four months of moving in, an 80 mph windstorm tore off two-thirds of the shingles--proving their so-called "industry professional" roofing company, First-Rate Roofing, is anything but first-rate. DM Dean claims to be committed to "extraordinary quality," yet our home was delivered with missing paid upgrades, cracked shelves, damaged tiles, broken pavers, scratched windows, missing or cracked grout lines, missing light fixtures, and botched paint touch-ups--and that's just the beginning. As for the pool, Tropical Pool installed it backwards. When we brought this to the owner Ralph's attention, his response? "Sure, we can fix it, but who's going to pay for it?" After exhausting conversations, we reluctantly accepted their mistake in exchange for a "free" water heater and upgraded tiles--neither of which were properly delivered. We had to remind them to install the heater after moving in, and we are still waiting for the upgraded tiles that should have been placed on the steps. DM Dean is quick to take your deposit, but after that, you're on your own. Communication is non-existent, and getting updates is a constant struggle because no one takes ownership. Even in the final months, when we requested the total cost of the home, we received multiple conflicting answers. The entire process was filled with stress and frustration. The so-called home warranty team? They miss appointments without notice, and when we follow up, they seem clueless about any scheduled service. We've been in this house for eight months and have already had to replace the entire roof at a cost of over $40,000, in addition to fixing numerous warranty issues ourselves. We were misled by what was once a reputable builder, but as we've now learned from many homeowners, DM Dean's good reputation is long gone.

The staff was great however the subcontractors that they use have poor workmanship. It started with a tub that didn't drain due to the framing being done wrong. They had to come and tear tile and framing apart to redo it all while we had already moved in. Come to find out once the tub was taken out that there was no support for the jetted tub that is made out of fiberglass, it was sitting 2 inches above the floor imagine it filled with water and the weight of a person the tub would of cracked. While they were applying the texture on the walls they did not cover the AC vents and all that texture got into the AC system. The tile guy has come to my house over five times to fix the grout on the the tile that wasn't properly applied to no avail. I have had hinges fall off doors, toilet bowls not properly set smelling unbearable. I also had impact windows installed and all of the covers and slide stops were discarded and when questioned I'm being the look of the window was told that was the way it comes. Upon calling the window manufacture and having them come out to inspect the windows it was revealed the missing parts. I must state though Windemeres office staff is pretty good, however it doesn't make a difference how good your office staff is if the subcontractors are doing substandard work. We have been in our home for a little over 7 months and noticing that Windemere uses the cheapest fixtures which you wouldn't be able to tell by their model homes. I'm also having other problems that I won't get into at this time due to trying to have them corrected.

Because it was a Saturday the office was closed and we had to obtain our entry packet through a lock box. Our first problem was trying to enter the front door with the code we were given. The code was incorrect and we spent quite awhile trying to make it work. A phone call to Horse & Chaise was answered by a recording. We went around to the side and were finally able the get in using the keys. but to our dismay the paving bricks all along the side of the house were loose. An orange construction cone was on top. The pavers along the pool underneath the cage were also loose. This was a problem as our 4 and 2 year old granddaughters were coming on the 3rd. We finally got ahold of someone at Horse & Chaise on Monday but although Brian came and took pictures, it was over a week until the pavers were repaired and as we feared our granddaughters tripped and fell. It was several days until the code was changed so we could access the home through the front door. There was a CharBroil gas grill out by the pool under the cage. It did not appear it had been used in some time. It was rusty and the warmest it got was 250 degrees. We used it once after scrubbing it with a brillo pad but our food had chunks of rust and metal on it. We went to Ace Hardware and bought a small grill. Also evident was the cockroach infestation. We killed several. Finally, the bench alongside the bistro table in the Florida room was missing a support rail and was wobbly. We approached Horse & Chaise regarding some compensation for our less than satisfactory experience. We were rebuffed. Think twice about renting through Horse & Chaise.

" Gulf never even came here to smell it. The owners came to stay for awhile and insisted that there was no smell. even though it could gag you. Gulf didn't give a shit. oh we had other danger issues but they were aggravated to fix anything, much of it faulty electrical stuff. they never check on you to make sure you settled in ok. zNothing but sighs and grunts and rudeness. we are in a new place this year. The Realtor is so kind and reaches out to us to make sure we are fine. and if we have an issue it is solved the same day. it's called CUSTOMER SERVICE. And with Gulf to add insult to injury, they pulled a fast one on us and I thought, I will never give them business again. So if you are an owner of a house, renting it out in Season, beware. they do not represent you..they dont do management. we were great tenants for a good 9 yrs or so. once the mother retired, the kids took over. and that's when it went downhill.
