I understand what you are going through with your new house and the disagreement this represent to you and your family.
I purchased a new home with Coleman homes in Feb 2007. We moved into our new house in July 2007, a couple months after we have moved into the house, my husband and I started noticing defects around the house. I contacted the builder and they sent Charles, the man in charge of fixing houses within the one year warranty. I showed him the list of things he needed to repair and after reviewing the list and walked around the house checking all the items, he said to me that nothing I had in the list was cover by the one year warranty.
Here are a few of the items he refuse to fix assuring me that they were not cover by the one year warranty: the master shower grouts turn yellow and crack within a few months of us moving in, the master shower door was placed to high and because of that, the water was flooding out to the floor, the a/c unit panel in the attic was leaking, nails were coming out the ceiling as well as the kitchen cabinets, one of the garage doors doesn’t open and my back yard fence fall off on one side, because they forgot to put the poll on the corner, and the list goes on. At this time I was 8 months pregnant and I told the builder I was going to take care of everything after having my baby, just for the fact that they were giving me a hard time with it.
After I brought my daughter back home from the hospital, she started having respiratory problems, she was vomiting everything she eat, and my 20 month old daughter had a chest congestion for quite some time, I inspected the entire house inch by inch and to my surprise, I found black mold in the master shower and the tub due to the cracking of the grouts, which moisture was going through and allow mold to grow. The mold was eating through the walls, I this point the walls within is full of mold. I contacted the builder again with regard to the shower and explain to them the health problems that they had cause to my babies; due to poor workmanship in the building of my house. Their response was shocking, Charles assured me that it was not mold and that I was exaggerating, all this over the phone, they have not come to even take a look at it. I started talking to one of my neighbors and she had the same problems I have in the master bathrooms, their some was sick for approximately 9 months, the doctors could not find out what was wrong with him, until she found the black mold all around the master bathroom, they inmetially move their son out their room and he started to get better within days. We were advice by our pediatrician to remove the babies out that room ASAP. Unfortunately, they are still refusing to fix the problem.
I have called the president of Coleman homes for weeks now and there is no answer from their side, I contacted the channel 11 news and there are coming to air our story, I will be the second home owner to air the problems.
Wish you the best of luck and GOD bless you and your family.
hope your husband is doing well. |
