This company is a DISASTER and so is the top management, Fred Loucks. When we first contacted the company, we were so excited about the professionalism of Matt Helpingstine who handled their sales. Matt said he was leaving the company just prior to our build date, but not to worry because our home design was all complete and the building had begun. Once we were exposed to Fred, we immediately felt like we were dealing with a con artist because he called a zoom meeting and pulled out a blank sheet of paper and wanted to help us design a home. After selling our home to start construction, he told us that he couldn't build our home for a profit so we needed to design a new home. He tried to make US feel bad because HE didn't want to honor the contract! Mind you, WE HAD ALREADY SOLD OUR HOME TO COMPLY WITH THE CONTRACT!!! We threatened to stop the bank draws if they didn't agree to keep building the home so he flew to California to meet with us to ask us to continue the bank draws and said he would complete the home. (That could have been done via phone call, but he chose to purchase a last-minute, 4-hour flight and showed up with his Starbucks coffee to tell us he didn't have the money to complete our home!) One month after moving into our home, we found severe black mold on a wall and requested that the building foreman, Corey Lavender take a look at it. They found a plumbing leak that required the removal of the kitchen stove, cabinets, and walls and a wall in one of the bedrooms. Mold abatement came in on May 23, 2023 and the kitchen has still not been restored because of their vacations, contractors that don't show up on time and poor planning. I'll have to sue them to be reimbursed for having to hire another company come in to restore my kitchen and for our hotel stay due to the mold. There are so many other design flaws, flooring that is coming up, mold still on the carpet, baseboards pulling away from the walls, etc. I've attached a snippet from Fred's email to me saying that the construction defects are happening because we are "bad people" who didn't allow him to break the contract!! Does this mean HE caused this destruction on purpose...and all because we asked him to honor the contract that was in place?!
RUN FROM THIS COMPANY!!! read more
