Carrollton, on Jul 22, 2019

[removed] has been very responsive to our warranty claims. Our home is high quality, but there were a lot of warranty issues, including one very serious leak that caused much damage and inconvenience. But warranty service ([removed]) was responsive and effective. [removed] seems to have pretty serious construction quality control problems, but the warranty service was conscientious in fixing them.

[removed] a 10 because the design elements were not anticipated/coordinated through the house for consistency in the offerings and execution; during some parts of the process we experienced resistance from builder with respect to some customisation requests; the subs weren't conscientious of each other's work at times; there was an observable inconsistency in the framing from house to house;but the final construction is solid and well-conceived.
