BUYER BEWARE! DO NOT USE THESE PEOPLE We found this builder when my husband and I were looking for a new home after he'd gotten a new job. It was a total relocation thing. We picked a lot, we picked the home design we wanted (I'll call it Design A) from a set of plans. They had a similar house (Design B), however it was significantly smaller. So we opted for the pricier Design A. To make a long story short: 1. Someone (I suspect their "ex-employee" whose name starts with an "R" and ends with a "Y") forged our name on the contract. I dare these b*st*rds to try and prove me wrong. Produce the contract and we'll let a handwriting expert take a look at it. 2. They squeezed our house into the lot to the point that there was no backyard. NONE. It was non-existent. 3. They shrunk the house we paid for (Design A) down to Design B size and expected us to pay the Design A price. 4. They stole our $2,500 deposit when we refused to honor the contract our names had been forged on. They took what should have been a wonderful experience for a young family and made it into a nightmare. These people are unprofessional, dishonest, VIPERS. The only reason we didn't fight them with a lawsuit is because we were under a deadline, low in funds, and living out of a rented house. Having relocated across the state, with small children, a new job, and a ticking clock, we had no choice but to walk away from our deposit. But I don't regret the decision. Again, these people are deceitful and corrupt. If I could give them 0 stars I would. STAY AWAY FROM THEM! read more

They may be out of business by now and I wouldn't be surprised. I purchased a house from them to have it built. As a contractor myself I was on the site every day to make sure they didn't screw anything up. The real estate agent at the time was Shirley and the woman lied about everything just to make a sale! I caught her BS every time and made her correct mistakes and had her give everything offered IN WRITING! Incidentally, we, the homeowners later got together to sue her for misrepresentation, but she fled to Florida. They tried to cut corners and do shoddy work every day, but I didn't let them. When they started pouring in the basement foundation the contractor doing it wanted to stop and quit early. This would have resulted in a "Cold Pour" which would later cause the basement walls to leak. I told the contractor that I wanted it done in one pour. He got angry so I told him I was going to call the builder right there and and demand my money back so he could keep the house. He bitched and moaned, but I remained there until the job was done. This very petty and poor excuse for a human being left a turd in my basement that we found when I did the walk through. I had other experiences with SK contractors. I consider my house to be the best built in the neighborhood because I was involved throughout the construction process. Other folks had serious problems with their homes such as bad foundations and leaking basements where they had to spend 20 to 30K to repair. Fortunately, SK left the neighborhood and other high quality builders took over. Their houses are as well built as mine without the new owners having to worry about anything. If Steuart Kret is miraculously still in business anywhere, avoid them like the plague! read more

One word to describe them: AWEFUL! Absolutely aweful experience with them. It has been over a year since we signed a contract and there continue to be delays in the construction process. They keep doing things incorrectly and then blame the county. Very difficult to contact anyone in this company. Even more difficult to get them to agree to anything once you do get in touch with them. They will tell you one thing and do something different. I WISH WE HAD CHOSEN A DIFFERENT BUILDER. I WISH I COULD AFFORD TO WALK OUT OF THE CONTRACT. This has been the most stressful year of our life! read more

They claim they have quality work but so far they've proven me the opposite. Dealing with the sad excuse for a builder has been a headache. There are a select few employees that have been helpful but I'm beyond disappointed. It all started when we were suppose to close in Mid February... That was pushed back several times and resulted in extra stress and expenses for us. We originally wanted two closets in the master-bedroom, they called my husband back in to inform him that they already purchased the material for the extended bathroom, so we would have to get that instead- there was more expenses. There was suppose to be a double gable on the roof and when my husband and I drove by to see the progress, it was a surprise to us that there wasn't one... My husband talked to the builder several times about it and it wasn't until after they laid the shingles down and my husband contacted them again, they added it. They also never disclosed that the basement was flooded prior to closing, and their employee lied to my husband and said it never flooded. Well at 1230am my husband heard a strange sound coming from the basement, went to go investigate and found a basement under water. He woke me up to try to get everything we could off the floor. We called an emergency plumber for help (more expenses) and he informed us that the pump that is suppose to keep the water from flooding the basement was incorrectly installed. Later on that morning, we contacted the builders who said we would have to contact our home owners insurance even though the flood and damage to our personal property (including a coffee table that my husband inherited from his grandfather when he passed away) happened because of their "quality" work. Now a customer service manager is telling me that yes it was flooded before and we were lied to but that guy was fired, and even though the flood happened because their company installed the pump wrong, we are just shit out of luck with our personal items!! So they state they have quality work for an affordable price... I call bullshit!! read more
