Our punch list was completely taken care of to the point of going over and above our expectations. Our house is beautiful, and we are very pleased. Having a custom home builder that worked with our design changes and incorporating them perfectly (unlike other builders) is exactly what we needed. Overall, 5+ in all areas!

We purchased our home from Homes by Dickerson in 2020, and have since experienced serious…read moreHVAC-related issues that led to confirmed mold contamination, significant property damage, and health impacts to our child. We have had repeated coil failures, dangerously high indoor humidity (often above 70%), and eventually had to replace the entire HVAC system this month. After the replacement, humidity levels immediately dropped into the normal range, confirming that the original system was faulty. A professional mold inspection in July 2025 revealed Condition 3 (active mold growth) inside the ductwork, with multiple toxic mold species detected. We've also dealt with ceiling water damage, the failure of two refrigerators (likely from moisture), and most concerning -- our 2-year-old son has suffered repeated respiratory infections, requiring nebulizer treatments, steroids, and emergency medical visits. In July 2025, a company rep (Dale Pearce) entered our property without permission, failed to identify himself, and claimed the system had been installed correctly -- despite Ring footage showing it was already dismantled. He offered no documentation to support his claims and didn't inform us of the visit until nearly a week later. He spent exactly 5 minutes on our property and made no attempts to contact us for permission to be there. We've reached out repeatedly since June 25, but have received only two vague responses that ignored our health concerns, the mold photos, and our request for compensation. So far, Homes by Dickerson has refused to take accountability. We've since filed formal complaints with: - The NC General Contractor Licensing Board - The NC HVAC Licensing Board - The NC Attorney General's Office - The Better Business Bureau We're also aware of other homeowners in our neighborhood reporting similar HVAC and mold issues, and are now exploring legal action. **Buyers, beware.

We live in an end unit which likely leaves it more prone to settling but this is ridiculous. The common wall between the kitchen and pantry has a huge crack to the extent the pantry door will not even close. Front door has been very difficult to close for close to a year now, obviously another settling issue. There is also a crack on an adjacent wall where a window is installed. In addition we have cracks down the driveway and a fairly wide crack all the way down the middle of the garage floor. I have seen many owners comment on the HVAC system which we had to have repaired numerous times, eventually having to replace it entirely a couple of years ago. Virtually every neighbor we know within a stones throw have all had to replace their system as well. I will report back on the settling issue.

No hot water the first two weeks we moved in, defective dishwasher releasing water all over the new hardwoods, crack hearth on fireplace. Terrible lot, it was not prepped properly, dead sod, drainage issues in the backyard, eroding berm in the back. Worst craftsmanship we have ever seen. Also their workers remove blue tape instead of addressing areas thinking no one would notice. Nothing is leveled, almost like the home was built by a blind 10 year old with no experience. Our project manager was useless they had to bring in another one to finish the job. Home not ready for the closing that THEY scheduled, we postponed until it was ready, it still wasn't ready for the second closing. We were forced to close out of necessity since we were suppose to be out of our other home with the promise that items would be addressed after closing for 1-2 days after....we had men in an out for 3 weeks straight ...ruined our thanksgiving and Christmas. We have built numerous homes from scratch with different builders through the years and this has been the worst experience of our lives. We have never felt this much buyers remorse. Too many situations to list. DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT BUY OR BUILD WITH THIS BUILDER.

I can understand that there are times when people might have a bad day. not every experience is perfect. But considering the location and the amount of people that live here, there are bound to be disappointments along the way. I get it. Saying that. Fenton is paradise for anyone who chooses to live here. The leasing staff? Awesome! joe and Becca are truly remarkable considering the challenges they face daily. There's a LOT of people here to please. And there are thousands that come just to admire the community, restaurants movie theater and boutiques that are at our fingertips. It's literally a part of our home. Sorry, but that's pretty cool in itself. The 2-story workout area, the beautiful pool and social area that overlook the main street park area, and the events that help to create community with the residents do just what they strive to. Everyone here is friendly and accommodating! Very pet friendly as well. If you don't like dogs, then you might reconsider. Otherwise, it's where you belong! If you're from the area, you already know the reputation the Fenton has. If not, then you need to come see for yourself! Everything you need is right here at home! Allison at Fenton! It's where you want to be!

Well, the skies have cleared and Chris Thompson has set a new standard for expectations. FINALLY I have found someone who is a perfectionist, is a troubleshooter, is determined, never cuts corners, is clean, arrives on time and works into the night with a head light, if need be! If you want to latch on to someone who is so good you will be using him until you move, call Chris. I'm serious. I cannot abide most contractors out there. I have done a lot of work myself so I can see when they are ripping me off, doing a poor job or lying to me. It is rampant. If you want to avoid all those things, you must call Chris. So stop looking and give him a buzz. I absolutely guarantee you will fall over with gratitude when you see what he delivers. CALL HIM!

Within three months, cracks appeared in the walls, floors, and even the staircase--a whole host of issues cropped up. The after-sales staff just drop by, take a quick look, and leave without actually resolving anything; they stall via text messages or simply stop replying altogether. The service is appalling. The air conditioner broke down less than a year after moving in, and in this sweltering heat, it still hasn't been repaired after more than two weeks--I'm just left waiting indefinitely. The after-sales service is terrible; they constantly dodge responsibility, making for a truly awful experience.

APPROVAL OF TRASH BINS IN PLAIN SITE OF YOUR HOMES MAIN WINDOWS…read more BUYER BEWARE: A critical factor to consider is how the community is managed by the HOA, which is overseen by Charleston Management Corp. They are very strict about keeping trash bins visible. When a neighbor sought approval for a fence to conceal the bins, the HOA surprisingly approved a fence towards the front side portion of home instead of towards the rear. As a result, I returned home to find trash bins directly in front of my main windows (see an attached photo). I contacted the HOA, and their response was unsatisfactory for any homeowner who might have been aware of this issue prior to purchasing. ---------- HOA's RESPONSE --------- The trash screen was approved by the ARC committee. I know this is not what you want to hear. I am so sorry. I reached out to the owner and asked her if she would be willing to move it to the back of the unit; I also explained how you could see if from your window. She said that she is not going to move it due to it being approved. My sincerest apologies, my assistant just made me aware of it. Thank you ! ----------------------------------------- Seriously? This was clearly a mistake on their part, and they seem unwilling to correct it.

During the building process of our new home, the construction manager & sales representative were…read morevery professional and responded to all of our questions and concerns in a timely manner. Once we moved into our home in July. 2022, architectural issues quickly arised from poor constructional work. We have had numerous issues from a baseboard being stapled through a water pipe, causing a huge leak in our dining room leading to damaged walls and flooring, to having an 8 foot long Crack in our foundation that we have been dealing with since winter. Reaching out to DRB regarding these issues has not been an easy task, given the fact that we keep getting a new point of contact we need to reach, getting the run around, or blatantly being ignored. Our dining room has been in the 'process' of getting fixed since August 2022 & has still YET to be finished almost 2 years later because we are no longer getting responses from Dan Ryan. Not only I am extremely disappointed in the poor craftsman ship, but ever more disappointed in how Dan Ryan has been handling the situation..or lack of. As for the 8 foot Crack in our foundation that has damaged our drywall, baseboards, and carpet, now causing mold in our home due to the winter snow & all the rain is presumably not covered in our warranty because according to Dan Ryan it is not considered a ' major structural defect'. We are extremely disheartened to experience this considering we thought this would be our forever home. We are at a loss on what to do & figured the next steps would be to get a lawyer involved. I would highly reconsider this builder for your future home.
