      In February 2021 we sat down with American Homes Sales Representative Graig H***** to order ****** Homes model A32063-P (referred to as The Florida) and began the process of laying out changes and receiving pricing on the upgrades we requested. One specific upgrade requested was a complete sheetrock package to include smooth walls/ceilings throughout (stated on the quote sheet) and were quoted that option for $6000.00 additional, which we agreed to. The signed order sheets dated 05/03/21 show the finished drywall throughout for $6000.00 and the same stated again on the order sheet to ****** homes. Our home was finally delivered on 03/02/2022. During the first walkthrough we began trying to address this with them and kept getting the runaround and was told to call my sales representative. After a few back and forth calls with Graig, he finally got frustrated and simply stated "well that's what you ordered so that's what you got" and claimed we never specifically asked for smooth ceilings. We have several emails between myself and Graig where I confirmed he indeed ordered the sheetrock package to include the smooth ceilings as we requested and the other upgrades. All upgrades listed except for the additional water faucet and smooth ceiling were completed by the manufacturer per the order sheet. After getting nowhere with American Homes on this matter I contacted ****** Homes directly and requested they discuss this order sheet with me. I spoke with Jody at ****** Homes who confirmed they did indeed see the finished sheetrock request under the Misc. portion of the order sheet but explained that this was not the proper way to order that package and most likely where the miscommunication came from and why we received smooth walls but a textured ceiling. She concluded that this was the error of the sales representative at American Homes, and I would need to bring this to their attention again for remedy.

      The initial experience of purchasing our home was pleasant. Our sales person was accommodating to our needs. Setting of the home was completed without incident. The contractor for the site work was amazing. The frustration occurred after the Trim work, we learned a few things. The Interior Basement door wasn’t on site; light fixtures were missing the covers; fireplace conversion kit was missing; no connection for our jetted tub; numerous floor gaps & abundance of poor workmanship items. Siding fell off in back area. The first visit after the house was set, the AH rep did his best to cure some of the items. He acknowledged the poor workmanship throughout. We were told the items that did not arrive with the home would take 6-8 weeks or more as per the terms. This was unreasonable given the items could be purchased locally for less than that time. And, no basement door is a hazard. We eventually purchased the Interior Basement Door, bulbs for the light fixtures & cured (a few) of the floor gaps. AH returned to fix a few cracks in the bathroom tile, installed the missing parts for the jetted tub & dropped off the conversion kit. We are vetting painter's; all were shocked at the poor workmanship. All stated they would have to complete tapping, caulking etc..before they would paint. Which adds cost. The Service Dept personnel; specifically Cecilia & Lance were professional. The siding was repaired immediately. They answered every question I had. The design of the house is beautiful. However, the numerous items that need repair takes away the joy of the house. Our first house was a stick build. The workmanship was top notch. My expectation was the manufacture home would be similar; not the case.
