Another TRCC Closure: Defective Choice Home Sold on the Auction Block
âI bought a defective home built by a builder that is not licensed and wired by an unlicensed electrician. I was stuck with a house that could not be insured, that I couldnât live in or sell. I got no help from the City of
Princeton
or the State âBuilderâs Protection Agencyâ TRCC. I canât sue the builder because of a binding arbitration clause or any of there subs, yet the builder somehow has a gag order on me so I wonât tell any of the other homeowners what has happened. So⦠welcome to
Texas
⦠my dream went down the toilet when my house was sold on the auction block,â said Cam Taylor. See new construction in Princeton Texas...Homebuilding Texas Style
Another TRCC Closure: Defective Choice Home Sold on the Auction Block
By Janet Ahmad
For the past 4 years Cam Taylor fought his builder Choice Homes over his dangerously defective house located in Princeton
Texas
in
Collin
County
.
Taylor
âs house had foundation problems, bricks fell off, defective roof construction, and the builder used an electric company operating under the name Romero Electric that used a subcontractor on the job who was not licensed nor were any of his workers.
Although the city knew of the problems of unlicensed electrical contractors unlawfully operating, the Mayor of Princeton who also serves as the Collin Co fire Marshal took no action. Due to the defective electrical system
Taylor
âs house was considered unsafe and the insurance company canceled his homeownerâs policy.
The state did fine the master electrician $6000.00 and the Texas Residential Construction Commission (TRCC) confirmed the defects however, Choice Homes failed to make the necessary repairs.
