------TopNotch-Home builders------

After I bought my Top-Notch home the smoke detectors were constantly going off for no reason. I had been calling the electrician for literally months and couldn’t get him to replace the faulty detectors. I assumed it was because he was busy, but one day I caught him on the golf course with the builders! These people are UNBELIEVABLE. They have absolutely no conceptual understanding of ethical conduct. I’ve had other problems too – I’ll just say this:

Do NOT buy a home from CMS Sullivan or TopNotch-Home builders in NH, MA areas!!!

TopNotch Homes & CMS Sullivan
Tewksbury (Ames Run), Dracut (Meadow Creek) and New Hampshire areas.

Here’s what to expect from these builders:

Improper plumbing - sewer gasses and odors entering the house, Routing lines to the dishwasher – punched through cabinet woodwork with a hammer
Hot water feed kinked to the dishwasher, Trash and debris left in the yard, basement, underneath porch...etc. These builders are NOT trustworthy!

My husband and I purchased an Ertzberger home from Peggy Slappey reality in Jefferson, GA. The night that we signed our buyers order, we were promised three inspections of the home. One was scheduled prior to closing, another one month after closing, and yet another one year after closing. We were told by the real-estate agent that we were probably going to find repairs that needed to be done after we had closed and actually moved into the home. He was right, however, Peggy Slappey Reality and Ertzberger Builders, LLC, are not honoring their word and are refusing to do any further repairs. Such as; paint, hunks of sidewalk are missing, doors were not completely painted, floor pops, and electrical problems, just to name a few. We do not want to go into arbitration, but will if it comes to that point. For now we have decided to hit them where it hurts. We are picketing the neighborhood, posting a web site, taking a news paper add out, and reporting them to the better business bureau in order to warn the public about these two dishonest companies.

My house was built in 2002 and I moved in April 2002. The builders of my house did not install a water meter. The village inspector missed this one. Now I am getting outrageous water bills and the reason for this is supposed to be because they had to estimate my usage because the builder forgot to put the meter in when they built the house. What can I do about this, besides continuing to pay these high bills?

I am getting tired of calling KB Home to come and fix the water leaking in front of the foyer. They have attempts to address this issue for at least 4 times in the past two years but it is still there. Water used to get inside the foyer and soaked up the carpet and into the garage. There are also lots of minor issue that they only bandaged and told me it was ok.

Keystone Construction LLC

The list of workmanship defects is very long but here are a few:
1. Outside Brick is stained of paint and cement that was promised to be removed. It makes the building stand out as the worst one in the subdivision.
2. Roof Vents were not installed. The opening was there, but they did not finish.
3. Bad construction of the fire housing unit and mailboxes.
4. Cement Driveway is already cracking
5. Numerous small details that are still pending inside the building.

Loan was postponed for months because the building could not pass inspection. The costs of the loan were passed over to me. Overall customer satisfaction (1 worst - 10 best) is a 1.

Please anyone reading this do not buy a home from Keystone Construction LLC. The promise the best Customer Service, but they don’t have any; I don’t know how they stay in business. I have found other unsatisfied customers, but they don’t where to complain.

We had a home built by Pringle Development, Eustis, FL. The home developed structural issues during cosntruction. We agreed to allow the company to make repairs subject to a opne-year test period. The company agreed to buy back the hosue and reimburse our carrying costs if the repairs failed at the end of the test period, October 2007. It was clear from visual observation that the repairs failed. Pringle Development is ignoring our request to meet their commitment to buy back the house and reimburse our costs, as promised. The company slogan is "Do The Right Thing" and offers a "Money Back Guarantee". Pringle does not walk the talk.

Problem Solved!


This letter is written in “Good Faith” as a retraction of any foresaid statements.

According to my conversation on April 10th 2008 1050am with Connie at Cheldan Homes, I am to write a letter of retraction and apology for the statements made on the internet, the BBB of Texas and the TRC. This letter has been written to show "In Good Faith" that our differences have been resolved.
There has been verbal misunderstandings and miscommunications between Cheldan Homes and myself in which we have now resolved these issues at hand as I have sent a letter of explanation on the cancellation of building a new home last week which satisfies the refund of $500.00 dollars which I understand Cheldan Homes has received, Cheldan Homes now has promised me the refund on April 11th 2008.

Recently I contacted Armadillo Homes Warranty Dept. concerning an inquiry about a house I purchased brand new in August 2005 (I’m new to Texas). In the time frame from then until now I have had issues with the siding of my house separating and nails popping out that were used to actually tack the siding down. I was told by Armadillo Warranty Dept. that normally the homeowner recaulks all of the siding on their home yearly here in Texas, and they also replace the nails as necessary, and that they do not see any claim that involves them. If you’re interested in seeing the pictures I sent to Armadillo Homes Warranty Dept. please contact me. I’m just wondering if what I have been told is true, and if it is true I’m impressed by the number of home maintenance specialists we have here in Texas
