I love my Chesmar home. I also hired my own inspector that did a 3 phase inspection during the build. I did have minor issues come up during the first year and the warranty department responded very quickly.
Informative video, especially for new home seekers, appreciated
Thanks!
@@livinginhoustonwhere would you rate Centex and Beazer?
This is very informative was looking for a video comparing the different builders
First America?
Very helpful and I agree with your ratings!
Thanks!
Very informative video.
How will you rate
1. Davidson Homes
2. Smith Douglas Home
3. Terrata Homes
4. Pulte Homes
Thanks
Would you share your Westin homes ranking ? Thank you
@@guzmanbe2 A-/B+
What about first texas homes and grand homes?
Question? Is there a difference in builder from C and D list that build more higher end homes. Are those still in the same rankings?
Some do for example, Lennars higher tier builder is village builder and centax’s higher tier builder is pulte. You’ll get more design features included but overall the quality and material is most likely similar.
@@livinginhouston Thank You
How about Tri Pointe? Where do you rate them?
What of Westin Homes?
A-/B+
@livinginhouston How about Taylor Morrison ranking?
I have a Chesmar new build, and while I love my home... there are so many imperfections. It all comes down to subcontractors and how well construction managers do their job. One of my bath tubs is coated with an orange tinge since I got the house, during construction they did nothing to protect it... I still havent been able to get it completely clean. If you were to look at my tub, you'd think it's several years old due to how scratched and unpolished it looks.
Some of my surfaces were scratched like the countertops. Wall texture inconsistent throughout the house. The painters did the worst job. All of my interior doors look like they were painted by toddlers. During my first walkthrough I addressed the issues with the CM, but he did absolutely nothing to fix my concerns. Unfortunately, I had to move in regardless of these imperfections. I know we are only human, but at the price point... I should expect better quality and I did not get that with my home.
I love Chesmar and would love to give them a high rating, but due to my experience... I'm not so sure I would recommend them to anyone.
are they finding mold because they didn't do any inspections?? If you do a pre dry wall inspection and a final inspection, shouldn't that help by detecting mold or not getting mold in the first place?
How about Perry homes, khovnanian, & Taylor Morrison ?
She rated Perry Homes as an "A" level builder at 6:51 in her video. I agree. I had a high dollar custom home from an unknown builder that ended up going bankrupt. The home was gorgeous, but very poor quality and had many problems with electrical, plumbing, structural, etc....but all of the finishes were very trendy and beautiful. It just didn't last. ASAP, we sold that home and built a Perry Home almost 20 years ago. They allowed us to make changes and we have been extremely happy. The plan lives well and has great space in bedrooms and closets. Their plans 20 years ago were pretty vanilla, but extremely well built with a good use of space. We used design selections (and made changes after closing) to make the home more the level of finish of our previous custom home, but with the peace of mind that the home had been well built. We have not had one problem in 20 years and people who visit our home still marvel at the quality of construction. We have updated through the years and made design and decorator changes, but the bones of good construction live on. Viva Perry! In seeing the current offerings of Perry, it looks like they are now offering plans and designs that are more cutting edge...but with the still high level of construction quality.
Smith Douglas and Anglia?
Low b for both
Hi. Where would you rank Village Builders?
C+ village builders is the luxury product of lennar. You’ll get more things included but the material is probably very similar to lennar since it’s the same company.
2 corrections on your D ranking. First, suggestion is to have a home builders inspection prior to closing, and one prior to the 1 year expiration on the home (not 2 or 3 years as you suggested). and last, regarding DR. Horton includes all in the base price without upgrades: washer, dryer, front and back grass, water sprinkler, fridge, tankless water heater, garage, gas stove, dishwasher, smart security watch, 9 feet high, bathroom recessed light (coleman extra $150/ea). stairs to the attic.
@@alberttom1610 maybe for some, but not always the case for every DR Horton community and house across the nation.
What about toll brothers and drees
Empire/Ashton Woods?
What about Westin and Castle Rock
Westin B+/A- Castle rock-C+
I was wondering which category Westin homes?
A
A
Where would you rate toll brothers and ashton woods?
A
I would rate them as B. Good builders but not top top tier.
ROC Homes? any opinion?
Have never built a home with them so can’t speak to quality or process. Online reviews are not too positive.
Have you heard of Longlake ltd builder? I want to buy one of their house but can’t find many reviews of them
C-
C
@@TripleMachine they charge like they have A ranked homes, I noticed
@@tyerrascott6596 They are cheaper here in the Houston area. They selling 4000sqft homes for $570k and Perry/Highland/weekly for +$750k
Kickerillo homes?
How about History Makers?
Between a B and C depending on community
I don't just avoid those D-tier builders, I avoid any community that *has* those builders.
Agree!
How about Tri Pointe, Sitterle?
A, A+
