We purchased a home from Smith Family Homes (SFH) in mid-2020…read more The quality of our home is outstanding. Over our first year of ownership I have come to appreciate the attention to detail at every level of construction and design. In addition, SFH promised to fix anything and everything for a year. They have honored that promise 100% with grace and courtesy. For example, as the house settled, many doors needed to be realigned. SFH did that quickly and efficiently at no charge to me. Thankfully, there have been no major issues. During the freeze in February 2021, we lost power for 43 hours. My SFH house stayed at 60F for most of that time while my neighbors' houses dipped into the 40s. I had no issues with pipes, etc. My only complaint about SFM is that they recommend that we work exclusively with Strotek for the AV in the house. This was not a good recommendation and now we are stuck with Strotek.

Way too many issues with repairs and not honoring the warranty issues by having people come to do repairs that have no clue what they are doing at times having to come back 5-7 times for the same thing and still not repairing it. I submitted all repairs to my insurance and a professional appraiser sent by my attorney estimated the damages close to $200k mind you this is a $750k home.

Due to a pipe leak and resulting mold under our entire downstairs wooden flooring, we had to remediate the mold problem, replace the wood flooring, kitchen island & cabinets, re-route the underground piping, repair sheetrock, re-route the electrical wiring, replace the fireplace, as well as a host of other construction repairs. I don't know what we would have done without Rodney's assessment and planning skills. Rodney's knowledge, expertise, and due diligence insured the appropriate scheduling and co-ordination of multiple disparate construction disciplines and subcontractor specialists that were required to perform all the various construction trade activities. His professionalism, great attention to detail, and taking control to make sure everything was done correctly was key to completing the project in a timely and quality manner. Rodney communicated and kept us in the loop during all aspects of the planning and implementation of the work. These days reputable, accountable Contractors that you can trust are hard to find. I don't think you could find a more qualified, ethical, and responsible contractor than Rodney Meyers. I strongly recommend Rodney Meyers. You will look back after your project is completed and know you made the right decision to contract with Kirby Taylor Homes.

My husband and I were in the process of purchasing an inventory home from CastleRock Communities in…read moreArgyle, TX. We were very serious buyers and proceeded in good faith until we received our third-party inspection report, at which point we were absolutely shocked. The inspection revealed major issues: -missing portions of the roof and incorrectly installed roofing material -exposed plumbing in the garage -electrical panel not even screwed into the wall -wiring issues -water meter reading usage-indicating a leak -several other serious foundational and structural concerns. These things are not cosmetic or minor punch-list items; they significant construction deficiencies that should never exist in a "new" home being marketed as move-in ready. And if they cut corners on these things, imagine what else they may have skipped. What made this experience worse was CastleRock's response. Rather than taking accountability, the company attempted to downplay and obscure the severity of the issues and made efforts to sneakily and hurriedly repair some of these issues behind our back to "prove" that the inspection was false. We were then met with resistance and vitriol (particularly on behalf of the division president) when requesting the return of our deposit, despite the fact that the inspection findings clearly justified terminating the contract. The sales woman at the sagebrook office told us on two separate occasions that our earnest money could be refunded. The division president we dealt with was condescending and dismissive, which only reinforced our concern about the company's ethics and customer treatment. At no point did we feel respected as buyers or that our legitimate safety concerns were taken seriously. Purchasing a home is one of the largest investments a family makes. Based on our experience, CastleRock Communities has demonstrated a lack of integrity, transparency, and professionalism. I strongly encourage anyone considering buying from them to do some research into their open suits and their well documented history of poor construction quality and failure to uphold their warranty. Better yet, just avoid buying a CastleRock home altogether

This is a follow-up to my original review since purchasing my home from Castle Rock, and…read moreunfortunately, my experience has continued to decline. Since moving in, we have dealt with multiple serious issues, including two separate leaks, damage floor tiles, damage cabinet drawer faces in the kitchen and bathroom, and a hole in the foundation that has resulted in one corner of the master bedroom floor becoming unleveled and an ongoing rodent problem, which appears to be the result of an opening connected to the roof. These are significant construction concerns that should not exist in a newly built home. I contacted the building site supervisor regarding the opening issues that could possibly be connected to the roof and was told I would receive a call back. That call never came. The lack of communication, accountability, and urgency has been extremely frustrating and unprofessional. Based on my experience, it appears the homes are rushed to completion, with little attention to long-term quality or proper inspection. I would not purchase another home from Castle Rock, nor would I recommend them to others considering building with this company. I strongly encourage potential buyers to do thorough research before making a decision.
