We recently purchased a JMC Home. We heard everyone talking about how the quality of the homes were…read moremuch better than any other homes in the area. When looking at a model home, these are put together very well. This is how they hook you! When you buy a regular home with no upgrades, it's literally like any other home, but you're paying much more! Dave was amazing and I have nothing negative to say about him. He was always helpful and professional. We did our first initial walk through. This was a real eye opener of how things are thrown together and the quality control of making sure the house was ready for move in does not happen. You would think when purchasing a residence that their employees would have walked the residence and made sure everything was damn near perfect and ready for move in. Not the case! There were broken titles on the house, paint noticeably thin on the walls, shutters broken, spackle around windows falling apart, base boards not matching, issues with the wood trim outside, on and on. We blue tapped the house like crazy. Was so disappointed. We were told these things would be fixed by the final walk through. Final walk through, only a few things had been fixed. When I asked Miguel and Jesse about why they weren't fixed yet, they kind of shrugged it off and blamed it on the third party contractors they hire. Or they simply played it off like we have a year to have it fixed! I shouldn't have to move into my house and have someone come out and fix an issue that was already brought to their attention twice! When you point things out to repair they literally use a paint brush and spot places so it's obvious and doesn't blend. They used goof off for almost every fix, the seal on the garage was warped, Miguel just shoved some pieces in the rubber to make it expand instead having it replaced, and things like eaves were never repaired. Was told they come in and clean the house prior to move in. Nope! Absolutely filthy and dusty. The appliances are on the cheaper side. The doors and kitchen lights are already having issues and it's only been two weeks. Above the fireplace they have the hookup for tv, but there's no stud to hang it in the middle so the tv is offset. Then the real kicker on top of all this! There is not proper drain from the back yard to the front yard. So when we hired a landscaper they had to do the best they could to get it to drain to the front. Miguel being nosy walking around had the audacity to tell our landscaper to make sure it didn't drain in our neighbors yards. When my landscaper mentioned how they short cut the drain, Miguel knew this and said it cost money. So you charge approximately 100k more on your house and they can't even properly run drains to the front. Not good! Oh and let's not forget to mention Shane! He's a reach peach! I brought toilet paper to the house since the walk throughs take anywhere from 2-4 hours and there's no bathrooms near by. Plus I'm a woman who had just recently had a baby. Immediately upon walking up the garage, Shane rudely asks if I'm ready to move in. I told him I was, thinking he was being nice and sincere, not the case. Then he rudely tells me I'm not allowed to bring anything in the house until it closes. It's literally toilet paper to go pee. Just unbelievably rude! Even Jesse was apologetic for Shane's attitude! Honestly the purchasing of the home is easy, but the rest is horrible! Knowing what I know now and how this house is, I would have never purchased it and kept looking. Really disappointed!

The quality assurance is beyond lacking. If you buy one of their homes, get ready to fight over…read moreany single thing that needs to be repaired. We had issues with nearly everything and they only repaired less than half of the problems. Oh, they will tell you they will rectify it but then there is ZERO follow through. In fact, they had "repaired" something we didn't even ask for... Well, let's just say, it here was no repair to be done. Instead they filled in mortar between the fascia stones for no reason at all. That shouldn't ever be done; so it looked horrible and no way to rectify it other than redoing the entire pillars. Insult to injury, they left the job half finished in the end. That issue doesn't even scratch the surface. I wish I was joking, but I'm not. I've purchased from Centex and Pacific Standard before and never had such immense quality issues and such lack of care post sale. Do not buy from these jokers unless you like chasing repairs they will delay or deny within your warranty period. You will very likely regret it.

Those are really the only two things I can say about Durango that aren't purely positive. From the moment we visited the sales office, to the time we signed forms, to closing escrow, and moving in, the Meritage team was stellar! Often times the outstanding customer service would end at that point; but not with Meritage! It wasn't until we sold the home and began the process of purchasing a new home from a different developer that we realised just how extraordinary Meritage is when it comes to customer service and going the extra mile. Mike, the construction superintendent, always answered our calls and continued to respond anytime we had issues arise or concerns. Not only did he respond, he took action to see to it that problems were solved! Oh how I miss Meritage! The thing is we needed more room both inside and outside. We are looking forward to moving into our new home, once KHov (the new builder) gets their crews in gear, and begins working on the homes in the order their management team released and sold the home sites. In the future, if we decide to buy another new home in California, we will definitely give due consideration to buying in another Meritage community.

My husband and I started planning to build an ADU for my mom after she retired. We wanted her to…read morelive near us, but have her own space with her own privacy and comfort. We interviewed a few construction companies and felt that A+ Construction PRO was the best choice for us. The project itself was a detached 1-bedroom ADU in our back yard. The process was so much easier than I expected. Rod presented the development process and details in a very realistic manner. He didn't make any false promises or try to sell us on lots of unnecessary upgrades. The design phase of the ADU took a little time to come to completion because my mom continued to modify the floor plan and the finish out of the kitchen as we moved through the design phase. The team was very patient with my mom and helped us to come up with a design that best served her needs of her space. I like that they paid close attention to the practicalities of the bathroom and the storage in the unit. I think designer Irene did a great job in this area. The crew was very professional. The site was always cleaned up after each workday. Communication with the office was good throughout most of the construction process. One minor thing that impacted the project was the typical delays that there are with inspections. But this was not a problem for us as we were always made aware of when each inspection was scheduled and any resulting delays. My mom loves it and ADU honestly turned out better than I could have imagined.

My family hired A+ Construction to convert our garage into an ADU. Since we hardly ever used the…read moregarage and needed additional living space so much more than storage space, it was a no-brainer for us. The finished ADU is being used by my younger brother while he is in college, and it has turned out to be a real small home for him instead of just a small addition to our house. The folks at A+ were very forthcoming in their bid process and told us what to expect. As opposed to some of the other contractors that gave us a very general number that could change depending on when they got around to it, A+ spelled everything out for us and gave us a solid idea of what our garage conversion would cost. Our project manager Nick was pretty accessible before construction started and even more so once the work began. He was pretty prompt in returning my mom's calls. I also liked that the construction crew was consistently on site. I've heard of a lot of other contractors leaving a job to return days or even weeks later to complete more work. That didn't happen here. The finished ADU is very clean and modern. The mini-split is very functional. The insulation added to the garage is very noticeable on the hotter days and the completed ADU is very spacious and never feels closed in. All in all, we had a pretty good experience with A+ Construction, and we would likely hire them for future projects.

You will not be allowed an opportunity to come back with your own realtor. How do I know? Because this happened to my grandmother. An 87 year old woman who just wanted to check out the new community now cannot purchase a house if she wants to use a realtor of her choice because she already looked at the houses. She didn't sign a contract. Didn't make any commitments. Just got stiff armed and made to feel like she was trying to do something unethical. This is outrageous. If you're going to have a policy this strict, your "consultant", not realtor, not salesman, but "consultant" should proactively ask if the person has a realtor first and inform them of the policy. We will not be doing business with such a company. I suggest you don't either.

We had a broken leaking water heater, and they refused to fix it for two months. The water bill just came in, and it's almost $400 for less than 60 days. Lennar finally swapped the water heater, but refuses to pay the exorbitant bill that they ran up. I repeatedly alerted them to the issue, made multiple requests, and at each appointment, got lectured how go use a water heater. It was broken. The codes stated that, and it wasn't working, so lecturing the homeowner wasn't fixing anything. And the solar they included in our contract? They refuse to complete their part of the paperwork, so it remains discontinued. GAF, the company they chose to partner with, is unreachable. They do not answer The phone number, nor return any calls. Currently, when we flush two toilets at the same time, the fire alarm goes off. We have to report this, but DREAD how they treat customers. It's incredibly frustrating.

Terrible! I tried Craig Kadden since I was pre approved. This guy was the worst loan officer l…read moreever worked with and met. He always had something to do and it was very hard to get him to finish my file unless he thought it was a quick sale. After he reported he couldn't help me I found a home and purchased the same home he couldn't get me approved legally in 8 days. In an attempt to stick to the facts of this awful experience which led to a waste of money, time; which is priceless, energies & did I mention precious time? I have decided to organize the list of unethical piss poor business practices I experienced in working with one Craig Kadden. 1. He withdrew filing my case to the underwriter stating I didn't have enough documents to prove, which was a lie on the day of supposed to be moving into my place. 2. craig sat on certain required pages of the purchasing contract for weeks at a time delaying the process. Each time we would discover documents missing & then trace them back to her he would provide them but always late in the day killing yet another "business" day. The list goes on. If you are purchasing a home from Lennar make sure that you confine in someone except for Craig Kadden. Trust me you'll be saving a lot of time and money.

5 stars all the way! Omar saw our "complicated" project, and let us know he could do it and was…read morehappy to take on a challenge. We are very happy with Omar and his company. I have done a lot of work over the years and am happy to say that if you live in this area, he is your guy. He was fair and honest from the get go. The price he gives you is the price you will pay. I never received any surprise "change orders". As contractors go, Omar was VERY open and communicative. No problems ever getting him or his crew on the phone. He had great suggestions on all things we discussed. Always seemed to know a lot about his work and various things people like. The project was a big one, and I am super happy with how fast it went. He even got started for us over Thanksgiving and Xmas, and his crew would show up on Saturday or Sunday sometimes to keep on working (which was fine with us!). There were no subcontractors involved... everything was through Noor Construction. If we had any minor issues that needed correcting, Omar would come and look at it and tell his crew what to do. We really appreciate the details, crown molding and trim was superbly done, and the tile was just amazing, we are very impressed with his team. I mean seriously anyone who has attempted to do crown molding in the past knows what I am talking about. For details if you've made it this far, our story: Where shall I start. I suppose we start with the idea: build a bedroom in the second floor space of our "great room" which has really tall ceilings... like 30 feet plus. So basically add a bedroom in the second story "empty space" above the first floor. Easy right? Well, after getting ghosted by several contractors, I finally called Omar. He informed he thought we were probably getting ghosted because the architect had told him that footings were needed to support this new bedroom which would be sort of like an island in the middle of the house. We live on a hill, so these support columns would have to go through the first floor, basement, and then under the house. This added to the cost, but we really wanted a bedroom in that space. Omar gave me a price. I told him no thanks, my wife and I thought well maybe we changed our mind as the cost came in higher with the footing work. After a few weeks, we talked it over, changed our minds. We really needed the bedroom. I called him, thinking "gosh he probably won't want our work". Omar came back, no change in price, same deal as before, he didn't even bat an eye, he was ready to go, and this was like 4 weeks later after I told him no. So yea, it was project that I was told was too much for people, everyone didn't want to go get permits or deal with the footings... Omar told us what to expect and stuck to the plan. He dealt with the County and the inspector always came and said even himself "these guys know what they are doing". We passed all inspections. Omar even was super flexible about adding things to the project as we went along, as you know I get ideas about what I might want, we added some carpeting and shelving, and additional tile work that he added at no additional cost to him. He really just knows what he is doing and is super on top of things. So go with Noor Construction if you have the chance, you won't regret it!
