Therma Tru - Rotten door
At 2.5 years one of our Thermatru doors was rotten, though it has a lifetime warranty. Thermatru inspected and found that defective assembly at Huttig, the exclusive Thermtru supplier., Had voided the warranty before the door even left the shop at Huttig. So we asked Huttig to replace the doors. They agreed, but would not deal with 3 point lock replacement...

Scam artists!!! I hired CED Development in November of 2013 for a simple 3-4 day fence project that still isn't finished. This was a horrible experience that consisted from excuses galore, to credit card fraud. I do not recommend the use of there services. Period!!! I don't really know where to begin, so here goes. When Tony Pinzine, owner of CED...
Leon Pikor - Do Not Hire This Contractor!
DO NOT HIRE LEON PIKOR!!! If you do, you will regret it I promise. To start with, he has NO INSURANCE whatsoever. No worker’s comp, no general liability, no personal liability. He wrote on our contract ‘$1, 000, 000 commercial liability has been added to your home’ and then handed us a bogus insurance certificate. Do not do anything until you have hi...

Nightmare experience trying to build house house with UBuildIt. It is all smoke and mirrors. Little substance to their value proposition. More trouble than worth trying to manage UBI when I am paying them to insure quality contraction. Untruths abound. Excuses always point to someone other than themselves. Over costs because of re-dos and mistakes are...

I fell for Kairos Home marketing messages and thought they were one of the top builders. The Kairos Home is one of the poorly executed projects with inferior quality tiles, doors and interiors. To add to this they have been lying to their customers about delivery and not delivered the project even after 6 years (might take another 2-3 years to complete...

Spoke to one of the staff at an upgrading project, was very rude and hostile. His name is Richard Ng. How on earth would a company hire someone like that? it is beyond my comprehension. He might belong to the construction sector which is known for its' rough and tumble people but his attitude is way worse than anyone I have ever encountered. Keep up the good job and keep hiring more brutes like Mr Richard Ng.

Novum Homes, Previously Pantheon Homes, promotes their "Affordability, Flexibility and Transparency." However, our family's experience was quite the opposite. Affordability: Actual building costs were much higher than Novum/Pantheon's guaranteed bid (not considering any upgrades), due to the company being a combined ~ $50K off on their excavation and...

We went to M&A Glass to purchase a custom shower door for our new bathroom. All was good. Loved the unit and they were great to deal with. Then came the fun. Their first attempt to install the unit wound up with a tile breaking. We stopped the install and asked that M&T repair the tile. They pointed to their standard agreement saying they were not...

Lonestar Barns cheated us on our custom four stall raised center aisle barn that we paid for them to build and deliver and construct on our concrete slab. It is obvious that Debbie (owner), Mike (husband), and the shop manager son, know nothing about building or construction. There is poor to zero communication and an inability to stick to deadlines. There...
CertainTeed - Window seals failing/ no warranty
I purchased about 20 of the Certainteed windows in 1992. The cover of the warranty stated very clear (LIFETIME WARRANTY, LIMITED NON-PRORATED) In 1992, the Certainteed windows were made by Viwinco in PA. In Certainteeds warranty it also states, they only warranty the vinyl lineals and not any part not made by them. They also state that they licensed other...

As a new and first time K Hovnanian home owner I am deeply disappointed in the quality of construction and Home Owner services K. Hovnanian Companies provides. Living in my current home for less than two years I have already spent more in repairs on my new home than I had in the previous six years living in my 25 year old condo. If I was suffering alone, I...
