After retiring from 20 years in the military, we were excited to finally become homeowners and purchase our very first own new home. We went with Carefree because the model homes were lovely, and the sales rep was very kind and responsive to all our questions. We were told that all of Carefree Homes were built to model home standards, and that could not have been further from the truth. After blue tape, which felt rushed, there were still so many little things left unfixed, like paint splatters, stains on tile grout, but since we closed at the beginning of COVID, we let those little things slide. Along with a bedroom that is always hotter or colder than the other rooms, another bedroom has an uneven floor. It feels as if you walk slightly up and then down, and it runs the length of the room. There was also a hole on one of the boards on our stairs, and we saw it during the construction, and we were assured it would be replaced before carpet got put in, but it wasn't, it was fixed after we closed. The tile work, especially in the bathroom showers, was horrible. Instead of the shower being an oasis where one can relax, it would only upset us to see the horribly uneven grout lines, the ragged cuts on the tiles, the undulating, ungraded shower floor, and all the bits of mortar that were not properly cleaned off. Our large master shower with built-in shower seat, was not graded properly, so water was pooling on the shower seat and on the floor. When the warranty team started working on houses again when COVID started to trickle down, they did come fix some issues, including re-tiling our shower, but that issue in particular, got way worse. After re-tiling, a leak started, so Carefree came back, added more silicone, which didn't work, so re-tiled again. The shower was never properly fixed so the leak continued. Long story short, it was the shoddy workmanship of the tile crew. We decided to gut both our bathrooms and our contractor found the cause of leaks and the damage. Oh, and the mosaic that was an upgrade in both our showers, the paper backing was not removed, so water was seeping in through the grout and leaking down. The shower pan liner was torn in two places, but Carefree kept telling us to reseal the shower edges...also the shower bench that we paid extra for, was filled with wet sand. Since pictures speak a thousand words, I will attach several. We will never recommend Carefree Homes to anyone who asks. read more
