Dec 27, 2001 Builders
replaced by homeowners in Canyon Gate By:Norm Rowland, Staff
Action not necessarily related to specific problems but new director says
a number of people are 'upset' with builders of homes in the subdivision.
The Canyon Gate Homeowners Association elected three homeowners to the
board of directors Dec. 17, replacing three builders' representatives and
giving homeowners all five seats on the board.
The election results may or may not have been affected by problems two
homeowners, Amy Weaver and DeLynn Archer, have been having with Royce Homes,
according to Richard Kirkpatrick, one of the new board members.
Dec 19, 2001 Added new websites about Royce Homes in Katy TX. Please
visit their sites about toilet overflows and sewage problems. Could that
be why the surrounding homes are not selling?

woman says her $248,000 dream home in Cinco Ranch has turned into a recurring
nightmare because of bad plumbing, faulty gas connections, mold and an
unwillingness of the builder, Royce Homes, Ltd., to correct the problems.

Michael Thomas Homes, Royce, Enclave
Beware of what you CAN'T see when purchasing an "inventory" home from
this builder!
My name is Amy Weaver, I am a single, working mother of two
girls. My greatest achievement or "dream home" for my daughters has
turned into my worst nightmare! A sewage flood, the day we moved
in, was an omen to what was unknown to the naked eye. It began the
day we moved into our new home, which was March 4, 2000, when a toilet
backed up and flooded the master bath/bedroom. This was just the
beginning of the many construction defects, which I would find, after hundreds
of hours of research.
This home is approximately 3700 sq. ft., 2 story, all brick, costing
approximately $248,000. After 18 months of being in this home, the
builder has yet to admit any defects with this home. I have had numerous
visits with various Employees of Royce Homes, repeating my story time and
time again, with the same response, "we'll have to get back with you".
I have been told by their sub-contractors that there is absolutely nothing
wrong with my home, yet have had various agencies confirm my allegations
of poor workmanship.
Examples of the problems in this so called, estate home, are:
1) sewer lines that do not meet state code, 3" versus
4" in a home with 4 commodes;
2) sewer lines that have 5 bellies, therefore the
sewage cannot drain properly to the sewer and toilet's constantly
backing up, requiring warnings to family and friends visiting to utilize
the plungers in the bathrooms;
3) gas lines that are not of adequate sizing to support
the number of BTU's in the home;
4) gas line behind stove was open for months, causing
major gas leak in the home, where my children and I experienced severe
headaches for months before Entex located the problem;
5) gas line to downstairs furnace was not even run,
therefore additional gas line was run to the furnace, approximately 7 months
after I moved in.
6) rafters in the attic that are not to code, therefore
not enough support to maintain the structure, causing dips in the
roof;
7) wood floor on first floor is now discolored and
buckled due to flood, causing mold contamination;
It is imperative that home buyers be aware of their rights, PRIOR to
signing a contract with a homebuilder. I am now in a situation where
I am being forced into arbitration because of the arbitration clause in
my contract. I want to warn other trusting home buyers... be sure
to know your rights by such organizations as HOBB. It is time
we stand up for our rights as consumers and demand justice from fraudulent
home builders, do not let this injustice happen to you and yours.
