David Weekley Homes

TOXIC MOLD PAGE. [NO LONGER ACTIVE] My house is infested with toxic mold 58 times the outside levels of Penicillum. David Weekly is doing a good job of fixing the problem, though. The cause was a faulty transition fitting from the cPVC to copper pipe going to the water heater (in the attic) along with a sheetrocker's nail that had peirced the cPVC pipe during thecontruction of the house (pressure tests are being done on new construction -- required in the City of Houston, but not the county).

David Weekley Nightmare [NO LONGER ACTIVE] To provide an instructive example, here we document our own family's toxic David Weekley home nightmare.Ý We hope that by making available the knowledge we gained through our horrible David Weekley Homes experience, itÝ will help you make the decisions necessary to keep your family safe.Ý

KB HOME

(Kaufman & Broad)

KBHOMESUCKS.COM 

KB HOME, the second largest builder in North Texas, tried to make the webmaster of KBHOMESUCKS an offer about the LEMON house that they built and KBHOMESUCKS.COM.

No Picture is fake and no story is staged in any way. We are just telling facts. See how one of the Biggest Home Builder is practicing  Customer Service. Describes foundation and other construction problems with three neighboring homes.

Kaufman and Broad: A Homeowners Story  Terms and Conditions for the Use of Kaufman and Broad: A Homeowners Story. We have had our share of problems with our new home. From the time we moved in (1995) until now, we have had, everything from construction defects too inadequate warranty repairs done by Kaufman and Broad employees and their subcontractors.

The K&B Files. Judge for yourself how Kaufman & Broad Builders relate to their customers (homeowners) and their neighbors. These links were found on the WWW using search terms such as "kaufman and broad", "problems kaufman and broad" and the like. In part, they demonstrate that the issues at Oak Park Trails are not unique, but a recurring theme. We are not alone.

Kaufman and Broad Homes Suck . A Real Homeowners Point Of View [NO LONGER ACTIVE.] Kaufman and Broad builds new homes. Homes should be built on a solid foundation and not on a companies reputation. Shoddy homes or shoddy buildings are not what you expect from one of the top ten builders.

Kaufman and Broad Quality Is Only Lip Service. The big leaders are setting the trend in construction. What are the big leaders doing to get so rich so   quickly? If our home is a representative sample of what the construction industry is up to then the real     impact on our economy will not be felt for the next thirty years.

My Experiences with Kaufman and Broad. [NO LONGER ACTIVE. ] 100% Satisfaction.  That's the goal of the Director of Customer Service of the Inland Empire for Kaufman and Broad.  Let me tell you a bit about the experiences of the new homeowners in the tract where I recently purchased.   To date, one or more of the homeowners have experienced the following.

Lake Pulte

Lake Pulte is named for one of the lakes that used to be present on the land that is now the Williams Grove Subdivion in Brentwood, TN.

What is lakepulte.com?

lakepulte.com is the website that was created to distribute the factual information about the lakes that were previously present in this neighborhood.

 

http://www.getpulteoutoftn.com/  GetPulteOutOfTn.

The Purpose of This Site

This site is designed to express the owners opinion of why Pulte Homes should not be allowed to continue to operate in the State of Tennessee as a licensed contractor.

October 07, 2003   www.getpulteoutoftn.com 
This site is designed to express our opinion of why Pulte Homes should not be allowed to continue to operate in the State of Tennessee as a licensed contractor. On the page are descriptions of the problems we have been having with our home (including the roof, exterior walls and  the ground on which the house sits).

June 21, 2001 Another Pulte Website. www.pultelemon.com. WELCOME TO THE "PULTE LEMON"  HOME WEBSITE THIS WEB SITE IS DEDICATED TO PERSPECTIVE PULTE HOMEBUYERS. AVOID THE NIGHTMARE WE ARE EXPERIENCING!!!!!!!!!!

July 26, 2000 Added to Homeowners Websites: Pulte Home Nightmare. DON'T SIGN AWAY YOUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS  We signed away our 7th Amendment Right to a jury trial when we signed a Purchase Agreement to buy a Pulte Home.  This agreement had an Arbitration Clause.  Be warned - don't let this happen to you!

July 26, 2000 Owning a PULTE HOME has been a total DISAPPOINTMENT for our family. Pulte Homes Corporation is one of the nation's largest homebuilders, historically advertising themselves as "Master Builders". Our goal is to inform the public and potential  homebuyers about our frustating experiences with our home and provide access to other  opinions & info about owning a Pulte-built home.

Blackstone VS Pulte Homes. [NO LONGER ACTIVE. ] This site was an EXCELLENT site concerning one man's fight with his homebuilder, Pulte Homes, and the results of a mandatory arbitration clause in the Pulte contract.This site is no longer active. We do not know if the problems at .....South Carolina have been repaired or not. 

Pulte Homes, Master Builders? So you want to build a new home. Great! You have decided on Pulte Homes as your builder. I will not tell you that this is a good or a bad   choice. My opinion is not what this web site is about. However, I will show you some pictures and reports of my home. You will learn of my   family's experience with Pulte Homes.

Pulte Homes. Freeing Nashville of its terrible tree infestation! Our experience, and the experience of our neighbors and various other Pulte Customers  around the country, has been considerably different. This claim would have you believe that they have a good product and good customer service. In our neighborhood, both the product  and the customer service were much better before the original builder was purchased by  Pulte. Quality, size, selection, and service (not to mention the trees) have all declined since Pulte got involved.

Henry Homes

Hayward hornsby vs Henry Company Homes. In the early spring of 1995, Hayward Hornsby decided to pursue the American Dream:  home ownership. By the summer of that year it had turned into an American nightmare.  The following is the true story of  Mr. Hornsby and his ongoing battle with a home builder who is attempting to abuse our government and  the judicial system and manipulate them to its advantage.  The statements made herein are verifiable  through the public record as noted.  The story is told to correct certain misconceptions previously reported in the local media and to help others avoid Mr. Hornsby's predicament.


Beazer Homes

Hi I'm beazerhomes. My home did not receive the warranty service promised by Beazer Homes. When this site went online, service started. I like to think that my home is again under "construction". While my home is under construction this site will remain under construction. Please come back soon and visit me.

OUR BEAZER HOME HAD MOLD. We have a two-story 5 bedroom home built in Plano, Texas by Beazer Homes USA, Inc. in 1997. Our home had mold. In February 2001, we had to move out of our home because of significant mold contamination.

American Heritage Homes

“In every community there is one homebuilder that manages to establish itself among homebuyers as an incompetent, untrustworthy, and poorly managed company with low standards for quality, style, service and value.  In the St. Louis Metropolitan area, it is American Heritage.”
