Exceptional, exceptional building experience!!! A+ experience from start to finish. Jordan Kaerek made the building experience absolutely seamless and easy. So grateful for Jordan's expertise, from serving as our realtor in the purchase of our Kaerek spec home to guiding us throughout the process. He has been personable, kind, and so polite. We were able to make many of the selections, and the quality of the home (the Hampton Elite) for the price was absolutely unmatched, for I shopped around. The Elite contained so many upgrades, and the price was second to none. Jordan was extraordinarily responsive to emails...usually within an hour or two!! Such a strong knowledge of all things related to the build and purchase as our realtor. Brittany, the lead designer, is so talented and kind. I always looked forward to seeing her, and the final design turned out so incredibly beautiful. Thank you, Jordan and Brittany! If we ever build again, we will without fail call you again. read more

Stay away! I would NEVER recommend this company to anyone looking to build a home or buying a pre-built home. We have had a Kaerek spec home now for a handful of years and its like pulling teeth to get them to come out and fix problems that are 100% under warranty. Jordan Kaerek, the entitled son, does not like women. He has gaslit me more times than I can count, spoken to me like I am an idiot and completely disregarded any issues with our home. My neighbors who also have a Kaerek home have experienced very similar situations with Jordan as well. Our home which is still under the 10 year structural warranty, has had issues after year 4-5 which the team came out to fix. We are having the same issue at year 7 to which Kaerek is REFUSING to fix. They will not even give us the time of day and are completely disregarding our issue. In total, this is a company that wants your money but wants nothing to do with you once you sign the paperwork. There are far better companies out there to work with, stay away! read more

Kaerek Homes just recently completed our new home, and we were blown away by their professionalism, follow-through, and customer care. From our first meeting with their design team to the final closing they were a pleasure to deal with. We found their commitment to quality, integrity and service refreshing in what could have been a stressful project. We are delighted with our choice to build our new home with Kaerek Homes Inc. and could not recommend them more highly. A giant "THANK YOU" to the whole Kaerek team. read more

I would like to be clear: this is not a business I have ever used but will be clear in that they are one that I will never use based on my interactions with one of their service vans on the highway today. Today, I was on the highway, in the merge lane, going 25 mph, and clear in front of the Kaerek van. The Kaerek van was also going the same speed and did not slow down causing me to hit my breaks at the end of the merge zone. Not only were they not acting safe while driving, the driver of the van then proceeded to give me the middle finger as he passed me. WTF? Apparently the driver forgot they were driving a company vehicle.... read more

I went back and forth between 2 and 3 stars.. here's why. This was my very first experience building a new home. We found this build already framed so we didn't go through the whole process of finding land- finding a builder, etc. I wish we would have gone that route knowing what I now know. We were told our house would be completed in May.. didn't close until end of August. This was so poorly communicated through out the process the thought makes me sick. I reached out for timelines / deadlines and never got a straight answers (now of course we have delays in building right.. sure-this was beyond that). Whenever I reached out I was made to feel like I was the BIGGEST inconvenience. They have WAY too many jobs apparently and no one to work (why keep doing more than you can handle) Instead maybe they should focus on quality and good business practices. Our expediter was the hardest person to get ahold of it was truly pathetic. I won't name any particular contractors but when inspection time comes I was told they would do "drive by inspections" and never even step foot in the house. Scary right. I think people in the building world know what I'm talking about. The little odds and ends that needed fixing is taking quite some time to finish- but the lady I'm working with (Zaina) has been by far the most responsive and professional. I'm nervous for what the future holds as I reference other reviews. But I do love my house and take pride in keeping a nice home. read more

As a return customer, we had another awesome experience with Kaerek Homes and would recommend them to anyone. The Kaerek Homes staff was always very friendly, easy to work with and always addressed any concerns we had immediately. We had no big issues were them. We are very happy with our new home. read more

We love this company. All the people that work there are the greatest and will do all they can to make everything just the way we wanted it. They are very flexible with any changes (within reason) we wanted and frequently there wasn't an up charge. If we wanted to upgrade it wasn't a fortune. Things were done on time, weather exceptions noted, and our go to guy Mark was always keeping us updated. He is wonderful! They use quality products, and most everything they had to offer was simply Gorgeous! Now in the house over a year, they took care of everything under the one year warranty very promptly. My husband and I had a great building experience and it was fun. Thank you Kaerek family! Karen and Gary read more

If i could go be zero stars to them I would. They literally have the worst customer service on earth. During our building process they messed up countless things. They refused to bring dirt to level and grade our lot even though it was in our contract. They refused to fix the drywall from a leaky tub their plumber installed because it was past the ONE YEAR warranty. A family drops $350K on a house by them, but they refuse to go the extra mile for their customers. If i could go back in time I'd never build with them. Please, please do not use Kaerek. I've heard great things about Korndorpher (sp?). My friend had her windows leak after two years in their new house and korndorpher came and replaced everything. read more

We have had an excellent experience with the Kaerek team from beginning to end.

Thank you Kaerek Homes for building us a wonderful and beautiful new home on a perfect scenic lot. Our experience was fantastic. You guys really do build a quality energy efficient home. If we were ever to move again and build a new home, we would choose Kaerek Homes again!!!!! read more

If you are anything like my wife and I, the decision to build a new house is big! For us to pull this off, we understood it was going to be a long term house and financially paralyze us for some time. So the decision was not easy. But building has its benefits, right? Not dealing with old, worn-out mechanicals, unsure of what problems might be hiding behind the walls, what the previous owner(s) did or covered up..... I would be happy to be in a pre-existing house and uncertainties that come with it over the time and stress of building with Kaerek. Here are some things to think about if you do sign on with Kaerek. 1. Read every document and KNOW WHAT YOU'RE SIGNING!!! I was not entirely through the documents when the salesman felt we were taking too long and there were "other people that were interested". It was the only lot we were interested in so I jumped....bad choice on my part. In addition to the documentation, when we worked with the municipality for our yard, we were told that the layout and design were not the best fit for the lot. This resulted in excessive costs to make the yard usable. Whats more, the municipality told us they communicated this to Kaerek! Had we known this, we would not have built! I can only assume they did not tell us because it would have killed the sale. 2. Know that they (Kaerek and/or the subcontractors) can change anything they want and not be held accountable. Your prints will have a footnote that states this. Once you sign off you're stuck. We had a design change and they refused to fix it. First they told us it was changed because it needed to be. When I proved them wrong, Kaerek used the footnote to clear themselves from any responsibility. 3. Be aware of the subcontractors that are being used. Kaerek pulls the CHEAPEST subs money can buy. Ex 1, Painter was primarily a landscape/grass cutting business. Ex 2, I had to pay professionals to fix our ceiling. I could go on and on with subcontractor issues. The point is, Kaerek approves these companies and doesn't hold them accountable. Kaerek will post a sign that displays Job Site Rules. I personally witnessed excessive music and smoking on the site. Remnants of drinking was also present. Its not my team to discipline so I brought it to Kaerek's attention, including actual pictures as proof. Kaerek did nothing about it. Also note, if you want to communicate with job site workers, you will need to be bilingual. I believe Kaerek is using some companies that are cheap and starving for work because they've been black-listed from other reputable companies. 4. Monitor the craftsmanship & quality of products being used. -Lumber was low grade. 2x8 on one end, 1/2x8 on the other -Moldy drywall -Visible drywall seams -Windows very drafty, cold to touch, low quality -Walls so uneven the fireplace mantle is sitting 3/4" off the wall on both ends and flush in the middle. The owner doesn't care, and it shows. Some employees even expressed how surprised they are by his lack of caring. My recommendation, based on my continued experience, would be to do your homework all ahead of time. Don't let them use any tactics to rush you into a contract. At that point its too late. I've only ever built this one home but in my opinion there is FAR better out there. I am not ok with things being fixed with band-aids. I'm not ok with products used being less than par and being told "that's just what it is". The majority of neighbors I've spoke with have similar experiences. Based on my brother's newly built home, he has a much better built and quality home for a very similar price tag. He does not have to worry about a lifetime of monitoring his windows for condensation spilling onto the sills (which are conveniently not covered under warranty). He doesn't have to worry about leaking water in his basement or garage and being told it is "mother nature" and unwarrantable. Looking at Kaerek for a build?

Delays, delays, and more delays. Concrete poured that is now cracking everywhere, moisture evaporating from the concrete, collecting on the walls during vortex freeze, turning into black mold everywhere which we had to pay for remediation because of their sloppiness and neglect of doing the job right. I joists that cannot hold the weight of the granite, refrigerator, and stove-- resulting in floors and and island bouncing like an Olympic springboard. The high school kids come out and attach OSB at the bottom of the boards to sister them to the I joists but don't bother to attach them at the top making them totally useless. This was the same fashion that they re-hung sheet rock after mold removal--with huge gaps and the sheetrock had screws in the studs behind it. I had to tear down and re-attach correctly. The sheet rock in the garage basically was installed so poorly and uneven that when insulation was blown in it all pulled away from the studs. I was told "we build a lot of homes and know what we are doing." MCDonalds makes a lot of hamburgers, but that doesn't mean they are quality. The worse building experience in our life. read more
