Colleen, Ben, Sandy and the entire team at JA Myers Homes were fabulous to work with. They allowed us to make customizations and changes to our new home that other builders would not - "yes we can" was always their attitude! After walking through and sitting down with other builders in the area, and having friends who bought from those other builders and hearing the troubles they had with their homes, we are glad we bought our second home with JA Myers. Proud to say we have been 12 years (10 years in our first home and now 2 years in our second) with JA Myers Homes. read more

Wish I could leave a 0 star. Horrible communication from the company and when it does happen it's unacceptable. Having trash CONSTANTLY in our yard from their crew.Blocking your driveway on the daily with their vehicles. Starting crazy early in the morning and ALL weekend. So many safety construction violations happen on the daily that OSHA needs to address. Along with them coming up and tearing up our yard with a backhoe and there response was "oh your neighbor didn't tell you". I highly recommend not purchasing a house from this company or being under their horrible HOA. Speaking with neighbors it seems nobody is happy with their builds in the Brownstone community. This was suppose to be a happy great NEW construction house. Nothing but issues. BUYER BEWARE. Photos are are from my ring from when I was at work and they decided not to tell me they we ripping up my yard . Highly recommend using a professional inspector do a walk through of the house before purchasing also. 10-15 Updated still daily trash blown in my yard. Thank you J A. myers for having the dirtiest construction crew around. Great job at littering on the daily read more

See all

Also wish I could give 0 stars. My house is less than 5 years old and my dishwasher broke within 2 years, my HVAC broke twice and was finally replaced, my windows are falling apart, the flooring is coming up, the sealing around the light fixtures to the attic is non-existent. Talk about shit supplies and a half-ass job. The other 17 homeowners in my community feel the same way as they have also experienced the same kind of issues. Thought buying a brand new house would be beneficial ha.... nothing but issue after issue. I am super concerned about the electrical wiring now. DO NOT RECOMMEND. read more

Left concrete debris from the brick front on the roof before shingles were installed. Never cleaned the debris off. After a couple years that debris damaged the shingles causing a leak. No supports under the windows, now the water drains into the house instead of away. read more

BUYER BEWARE.......28 years ago Myers built my home with no problems I referred family and friends to Myers who put in contracts most homes were almost $500,000 within 4 months they increased their prices of $ 40,000 while under contract. They claim due to the unprecedented times and inflation!!!! this is unjustified to allow people to get their hopes up thinking they are able to purchase a new home and then have the rug pulled out from under them. Please make sure you read all the small print!!! read more

Recently purchased a home from this builder, Wasmere Acres in Westminster, MD Bad customer service from the start. Once you sign the papers and have a problem especially if you have to contact them more than once concerning the same issue. They get very nasty. My lot and the lot next to us (lot 1) have extreme water drainage issues. Perspective buyer was told by their home inspector all the problems they backed out, per their review on another site. Buyer Beware as many bad reviews as good. read more

If you are looking for an honest company run far far away from JA Myers. (Very long post but worth every word for anyone considering either purchasing or renting from this company). This is in regards to a rental however this applies to them as a company and they conveniently have no place for public reviews about their specific rentals. We lived in a rental property for 3 years. We maintained our home with respect to the property and raised 3 children. We did not abuse the unit beyond normal wear and tear and the most permanent thing we altered was adding non permanent 3M child safety pulls in our cabinets to keep our children out of hazards which was not against our lease. We have always carried excellent rapport with all previous Landlords. We decided to terminate our lease early because we were purchasing a home. We agreed to the terms in the lease when it came to breaking a lease and understood we would pay a penalty. We hired a professional carpet cleaning service as requested in our lease to clean our carpets. JA Myers (Caleen Holmes acting on their behalf) stated she was not happy with the job and stated she smelled an odor so we had the carpet cleaning company come back out again (they did a fantastic job) the carpet cleaning company stated they did not identify an odor and felt as though the property manager was being unreasonable and difficult. After they cleaned the carpet again as requested, JA Myers (Caleen Holmes) stated that they would charge us for a full carpet replacement. It was reported to us by the carpet cleaning company that JA Myers had called this professional carpet company to "get their stories straight and get on the same side" should we take JA Myers to court. They proceeded to charge us in excess of $7,000+ for move out costs such as painting the unit. The paint was ordered and delivered to the property before we even had a move out inspection. There were various other charges that we felt to be inaccurate and inflated. Upon asking for receipts for these charges they refused to give us any proof of these charges. We also asked in general about some of these charges and were completely disregarded and not given a response. They then tried to get us to not only pay this amount but sign a NON DISCLOSURE CLAUSE agreeing not to discuss further confirming our suspicions of their sneaky work. When we agreed to payment against our gut but refused to agree to the non disclosure clause they slipped in there JA Myers (Caleen Holmes) stated that they would take us to court and any payment agreement was terminated. This was AFTER we paid them $2,000. When questioning them as to why they put that clause in there they refused to comment. They to this day refuse to support any of these charges with receipts stating that "legally they don't have to". We stated that we were in agreement to pay should these charges be valid and we simply wanted to see where the numbers were coming from and that the work they were claiming was actually completed and not fabricated. This is a small amount of many issues and inconsistencies from this company. There were also work orders that we placed for items breaking in the home that were never fulfilled until the week we were moving out (more than 6 months after the work order was placed). They will lie and they will misrepresent things to get money and will back you in a corner by threatening to take you to court if you question ANYTHING. Thoroughly read your contracts REGARDLESS of what they tell you or say because they will say anything to you to get you to sign on a dotted line and then will go back and deny anything they said and tell you to look at the contract you signed. This business is not run with integrity at all. Run far away. read more

The "punch list" folks from J.A. Myers took care of the minor flooring and paint/patch issues we had. They were prompt courteous and efficient. read more

First time New home purchase for my wife and I, it started out very exciting and promising. However we have had issues since settlement, primarily lack of customer service and poor workmanship. All the issues that we have had, could have been avoided if Myers and contractors they selected would have just taken their time and done the Job that they are clearly capable of doing (by the numerous positive reviews). That is what makes it so frustrating, we researched and read good things about them, however our experience has been far from good. There is a steep drop off in their attention to you after settlement that is for sure... I can't tell you how many times I heard the phrase "well that's not us that is on the sub-contractor" from Myers people. Um they hand pick the sub-contractors so??? I am not big on righting reviews and I don't want this to be a bashing post, I just wanted to share my experience in hopes it helps someone who is on the fence about choosing a builder. My wife and I are eager to put the "hopefully" last couple issues behind us and just move on. It just really leaves a sour taste in your mouth. read more

We chose JA Myers to build our off-site Avenel home because of great reviews, how long they have been in business, etc. Before we bought our lot from someone else we had to meet with Ben to come up with rough plans for the inside and outside of our home. We told him that we liked the first floor of the Avenel and the second floor of another plan and Ben told us that we can make a 5th bedroom where we would have a loft and and the 2nd floor family room. We LOVED that idea so much since we didn't want any wasted space and had furniture that would definitely fit in a bigger room. Ben was patient with us and our community with building rules and customized our Avenel wherever we wanted to change things to our liking. Mike, our foreman was awesome.; he went above and beyond with his hard work and dedication to our house. We are VERY IMPRESSED with JA Myers and would recommend them to anyone who wants to build. We are VERY HAPPY in our perfect new home. Thank You So Much! read more
