SLM is taking about three years so far to build a house, the noise is destroying the lives of all…read morethe surrounding neighbors. On multiple occasions the noise started at 6:05 am, earlier than permitted with the company that came daily to power wash to the portable bathrooms at that hour. It sounded like a wrestling match of gorillas every morning.
One neighbor is a cancer patient, many of the others are senior citizens, all have been subjected to 12 hour days and longer, oftentimes seven days a week, of loud unpleasant disturbances, including banging, beeping, drilling, yelling, and every other conceivable form of noise they could make.
They have left equipment clanging, and loudly flapping against the home because it was improperly secured, overnight and over holiday weekends.
I sense if they knew what they were doing this would have been over a year ago. I've had builder friends look at the job and they tell me the work appears to be amateurish and substandard. This morning after three years of this upheaval in my life and this torture, - with a workforce that looks like there are 15 trucks and 30 or more people walking around, it sounded like a loud musical convention of Mexican music, loud, no consideration for the neighbors, during the heart of the summer, who have already been annoyed plenty and non-stop from the building of this one house.
Its like the builder is learning how to build a home, as he goes along, at the expense of our lifestyles and peaceful habitation of our own homes. I finally open the window and have to yell above the loud music and other chaos to get someone's attention, I finally do, I ask what's with the the music, which at this point I'd been listening to for an hour plus. "You like it" he asks me sarcastically, I say do you really need to add more noise to the three years we're already listening to, and his answer is "we sure do" thinking he is somehow cute.
I'd like to have his home address and hire guys to come walk around with leaf blowers, boomboxes and bullhorns there for 12 hours a day and more, seven days a week, for the next 3 years straight. Funny thing is the house still looks like its nowhere near finished, could be another year or two at the rate they are going.
So, if you want to wait forever for your home, and you don't care how aggravated and disgusted your neighbors are when you finally move in, make sure to use SLM Builders. Also, posting his billboard signs all over the project really adds an element of class to a neighborhood and on a block where homes are well kept and expensive. It gives it that Times Square chaotic vibe.
In summary, stay away from this company that seems to have little idea what they are doing, takes too long to do it, and completely disrespects and disregards the rules and your neighbors along the way, - unless that is the experience you are looking for.
