  We closed on our home September 11th,2023. We were never told that we would have to install aluminum gutters on the home. How could you possibly pay this much for a home and never be told that it does not come with rain gutters. Now I have flash flood rains falling on the cement in the flower beds that hold the pavers in place that has destroyed areas of the concrete that will cause the pavers to loosen. On top of the fact that im reading on the community page that the *** is giving everyone a hard time with this. When I went to the design center in ********. I spoke with ********************* and I stated that I wanted the lighting the way it was in the model. Now I get there and, the area above in the dining room where the light is. Is uneven and the area above the breakfast nook has a chandalier insted of a led ceiling light and that is uneven as well. I have about 30 items that have not been corrected as of yet and the cabinet company that is ********** is teling me that I have to wait until January of **** until they can come out and assess and order cracked cabinet drawer fronts .I filed all of the 30 items on the warranty page for Taylor Morrison. Will everything be done by the end of ****? Your guess is as good as mine.I would at this point say to anyone considering purchaseing a Taylor Morrison home Buyer Beware!!!I spoke with ********************* who deals with Taylor Morrison complaints and can honestly say that she hasn't really done anything of any signifigance other than saying that things will get done. I was there twice and pointed out everything before closing and nothing was done. Mulitple employes have been fired or transferred. That were suppossed to be supervising employees for my build. I recently was introduced to the new supervisor ************************************* who I recently asked did you order the trim piece that was missing from my microwave and said he did not. Supsequently I called GE myself and complained that it was missing and they are sending me a new one

  Good afternoon, as of this November 6th day of 2023., I still do not have a formal resolution with the respect to the more than 30 items to be corrected. *** taking a wait and see approach to this matter. Example I don't know anything with respect to the fact that there were no gutters installed on the home and why it was not disclosed at the time of sale? The fireplace rough in was not installed correctly and certain ceiling fixtures were not installed level or centered. I will be flying into that location on November 12th thru November 16th at which time only some and not all the items will be completed. That should have been done prior to closing on the home.

  Purchased new construction in 2020 Builder refused to seal cracks as cracks are owner maintenance (this was first year.!). This year we received a quote for gutters. Contractor pointed out large wholes that were unfinished and open on building. Also, our window seals on all upper windows looked like Swiss cheese with openings throughout from defective or wrong caulk being used. We submitted a ticket but TM builder refused to correct citing owner maintenance. We dont believe its reasonable to need to replace ALL upper window seals after 2 years. Builder TM was then deceptive telling us they did not install windows! We believe on our behalf TM builder should correct this issue instead of ignoring calls and e mails. There are also 8 homeowners also experiencing same issue!************ warranty office is not helpful.

  While the homeowners complaint appears to suggest otherwise, Taylor Morrison did in fact make certain stucco, sealant and painting repairs. Taylor Morrisons third-party trade contractor installed the windows and Taylor Morrison provided the homeowner with the window installers contact information. Homeowner is correct in that Taylor Morrison did not perform certain work requested by the homeowner that it believed to be a homeowner maintenance responsibility, as manufactured products are excluded with homeowner warranty. That being said, Taylor Morrison has offered to have the homeowners concerns re-evaluated and is currently trying to coordinate an inspection.

  I have tried since October 6 to communicate with the ** ******** ** warranty office after *********************** and ***** came to look at upper windows, without a ladder.  I do not consider that an inspection. The completed work ** referenced in their response was regarding a separate matter As of today, 10/19/23, ** has made further attempt to remedy the  problem that involves 5 upper windows.  Further, American Builders Supply may have supplied ** with the windows; ABS has stated sealing and painting was done by builder. Therefore, ** needs to stand behind their promise of quality craftsmanship and make necessary repairs, or see that ABS makes repairs for us ASAP. *** does not deal with the general publiconly builders. I did not purchase the windows, Taylor Morrison is their customer. This is known to ********************. The ********************* office is ignoring any further correspondence from us and we need to have this repair completed asap. This has been almost a year of stalling by the builder. What has happened to the upper window seals is not owner lack of maintenance.  It is the result of shoddy work or the use of the wrong product used to seal windows. Window seals should not look like Swiss cheese after only 2 years. Am looking forward to a date for this work to commence. Thank you,

  Unfortunately this is a long and drawn out story, and based upon all the other complaints about TM, I would have never entered into a contract with them. I had went under contract on a new build in Castle Rock, CO in February of 2022. I was told the home would be done in August. At this point sold my home in Arizona and moved to a rental in Colorado with a 5 month lease term. Things seemed to be progressing ok until there was a big lull in construction every time I would drive by it. I was told I would receive weekly updates that started fine, but then wouldn't happen and there was always an excuse that they had meetings or someone was on vacation. I addressed my concerns and was told that now there was a new construction manager and that would solve the problem. I met with the new manager and for that 1 hour, yes I felt taken care, of, but soon after that, it all went back to the same ghosting and not hearing or being told something I "want to hear" like "you are next in line for electric". Which went on for 6 weeks.... I was frustrated and new that the timeline was getting pushed back and I would have to change my rental, but they would never give me a better timeline- september, then October, then end of the year. It was too much and I wanted to cancel my contract due to the poor customer service, the lies I was told by the sales team and construction manager. but was told I would not receive my money back. I contacted HQ and tried to work something out to which they said I could use it towards another location within 12 months. Asked if I could use it in CA as I would be moving there, and waiting almost 10 months finally getting an answer that I couldn't!! Only because I had to email them 5 times. Also in that process tried to even start buying a property in a different location in CO and that sales person ghosting my agent as well. I even offered a reduced deposit refund and some compassion to a difficult situation and received nothing again.

  Taylor Morrison appreciates the opportunity to respond to this customer's complaint.  The customer elected to cancel their contract in 2022 and when they contacted Taylor Morrison with this decision, the customer was told numerous times by multiple Taylor Morrison employees that doing so was a breach of the Purchase Agreement.  Given Taylor Morrison’s award-winning expertise and commitment to its buyers for 100+ years, Taylor Morrison was accordingly distressed to have received notice of customer's election to breach their Purchase Agreement and not purchase a home with us. By walking away from the customer's contractual obligations, Taylor Morrison retained the Deposits as liquidated damages for its own loss in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement agreed to by customer.   Further, the customer's clear election to use the Better Business Bureau in an attempt to harm Taylor Morrison’s business and reputation, rather than exercise the provisions in the Purchase Agreement for the proper venue for dispute resolution, constitutes another breach of the customer's Purchase Agreement.  For these reasons, Taylor Morrison respectfully requests that the Better Business Bureau close this matter as resolved in accordance with the legally binding agreement in that we met all of our own obligations and the customer has demonstrated that they have no intention of performing their own contractual obligations.

  This is untrue.  As stated, I tried to fulfill my end and utilize the deposit towards another home in Colorado.  When my agent went to their property in Aurora, she was met with resistance as they didn’t like I was working with an agent and the gentleman said he would have to “talk to corporate” to see if that was possible.   My agent never received a response and continually tried to contact him and to this day still hasn’t heard back.

  its quite evident by their rating on the bbb that this is not a one off instance, and its not the intent to slander them but to point out the lack of customer service and willing to help a customer out in a time of need or just worry about profits and legality.

  Flooring is failing and Taylor Morrison is no help. They keep hiding behind ***** and their suppliers as if it is our fault. We got all the way to talking about a payout to now starting the process over 6 months later. We have brought the issue up for 4 years and they finally agreed to take a look at it. No one is helpful and they keep blaming me for homeowner negligence. Even though when they were out here they agreed the flooring needed fixed due to Humps and dips in the floor. I submitted a complaint regarding a rude phone call I had and when the manager called me he just said that the other guy wasnt wrong and never apologized for the way I was talked to. They just constantly give a run around and drag their feet. I would not recommend buying a home from them. Please be aware. They sell you on a warranty that isnt real unless you want people showing up at your house on the wrong days and times with a caulking gun. Everytime I talk to someone their level of service is terrible and they take no accountability. They blame the fact that the flooring is no longer made. If they would have fixed it 4 years ago when we moved in then the flooring was available and we would not have this issue. Im sick of being picked on as the homeowner when I just want our floors fixed. When the customer service manager called he stood up for the other person saying he wasnt wrong. Why send someone out to attempt to fix something, they make it worse then go back and say its the homeowners fault. This needs to be resolved but they keep saying this could take 6+ months because of the manufacture and honestly were at the point where we just want to take legal action and get our floors replaced correctly as they should have been from the start.

  Taylor Morrison values its customers and takes great pride in building a quality home.The Taylor Morrison Limited Home Warranty Program is designed to provide an appropriate and convenient method for asserting claims, to ensure that each home is built in accordance with the building plans and specifications,industry standards, applicable building codes, our Limited Warrantys quality standards and meets all contractual requirements as detailed in the Purchase Agreement. Each of these provisions was reviewed and accepted by the Consumer prior to closing.  
  Our warranty manager met with the Consumer on September 6th to discuss his concerns regarding the flooring as well as a few other concerns. Upon inspection of the floor it was determined several areas did not meet our quality standards, therefore we will replace the floor with a new material since the current is discontinued and the Consumer can choose one that is similar in cost to the original material. The consumer is very happy with this decision.
  We apologize for the length of time it took to resolve this issue. We consider this matter addressed, and ask that, based on the information provided, the BBB similarly considers this matter closed.

  Taylor Morrison built my home. Since moving in I have continually complained about the **** system pouring out insulation from the venting any time the ** is turned on. They have looked at it, had someone else look at it, had the **** cleaned out, and then claimed they brought in another outside company that actually repaired it. The warranty manager told me he took pictures proving it was taken care of. I did not get those pictures. However, insulation still pours out. As a senior citizen I am being subjected to unnecessary health risks. This should not be happening. it's not a condition I should have to live in. It's stressful being subjected to this environment. My nasal passages and eyes are starting to hurt. I need to see about what's happening with my lungs.

  We moved into our new home in Ovation at Meridian in July of 2022. While my complaints are many, the 2 primary reason for this complaint is: 1) Nearly 2 months before closing, 2 damaged cabinet tops, 1 damaged cabinet drawer and missing trim was noted. Allegedly, these have been ordered, the order has been lost, they have been reordered and one order arrived too small and damaged. This is NOT a warranty issue - this was damaged and documented before close and still has not been remedied. No explanations, no communication, blame and excuses. The damaged top was installed, but not finished; thus, we have damaged drywall, no caulking, etc. 2) Our carpet was damaged before closing. We submitted pictures of garbage, stacks of materials and scrap wood directly on our new carpet. Multiple stains on a NEW carpet. We requested a replacement and they refused. Our NEW carpet was steam cleaned before we even moved in. Discovered a large seam running across the same carpet. Their own installers stated it was a bad install and/or different dye. The seam is very evident and noted by all guests and visitors. They refuse to do anything about it. Their trade rep not only refused to listen to our request, she chose to video tape me, on my property, without my permission in an attempt to intimidate me into yielding on my request. This was observed and reported to several Taylor Morrison officials who have ignored my request for assistance. I have left messages, sent emails and even resorted to submitting reviews in an attempt to get a response, acknowledgement and resolution. No response.

  Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to address the Consumer’s statements and provide details about these matters. The countertops and cabinet material the Consumer mentions are currently scheduled to be installed on October 5th, 2023. Unfortunately, previous attempts to install these materials were made, but could not be completed due to the material being damaged during shipment. We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused. Regarding the carpet seam, we have made several onsite inspections and determined the appearance of the carpet and seam meets all quality standards. The location of the seam is determined by the size of the room; therefore, we communicated the seam will not be relocated or carpet replaced. We have documentation of the interaction between the carpet company field manager and the Consumer during an inspection and have a different account of that interaction. Our team continues to communicate with the Consumer and are committed to completing remaining warranty items as efficiently as possible. 

  Customer response

  We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused. 15 months after move in; "We apologize" for the inconvenience. BBB gets a response. Not the "consumer." The inconvenience includes scheduling, taking time off from work; living with damaged drywall, uncaulked cabinet tops AFTER the install of a damaged replacement part; having to take pictures to remind the warranty team of which counter tops we are talking about; frustration, stress, etc. We have documentation of the interaction between the carpet company field manager and the Consumer during an inspection and have a different account of that interaction . I want copies of the documentation to include communication with Jeremiah (warranty manager) who committed verbally and in writing to follow-up with Primera management and with me. He did not. He indicated that if there were no seams visible in our other rooms, this would be considered as possible validation of a poor install in the master bedroom. I would like the documentation to include pictures taken in my home and of my dog by the field manager. Documentation should include statements from the 2 installers who indicated the install was poor and suggested solutions. No follow-up regarding our concerns has been taken - aside from this response to BBB.  This is a matter of principle; one magnified by the inconceivable delay in correcting issues noted over 14 months ago. Further magnified by conduct by an employee - treating a sensitive, frustrated, emotional and unhappy customer by video-taping them, on their own property. Whatever the "different account" is, the bottom line is that it was inflammatory and forced a conflict-oriented posture. The "different account" cannot dispute the fact that my unrelenting efforts to communicate, seek acknowledgement/validation - much more than any form of restitution - was and has been driven by the way we were treated.

  Thank you for the opportunity to respond to the Consumer’s concerns once again. Taylor Morrison corporate and division team members have been in communication with the Consumer and working towards completing the remaining warranty items; installation of a cabinet drawer front and countertop, scheduled for November 17th. We also acknowledge further communication is needed to properly resolve a dispute and we are in the process of scheduling a meeting when the Consumer’s schedule allows. We appreciate the Consumer’s patience and understanding while we continue to service their warranty items. We consider this issue addressed, and ask that, based on the information provided to the Consumer supporting the foregoing, the BBB similarly considers this matter closed.

  I built a home with Taylor Morrison on lot 2006 in ********** (********) and closed in Feb 2023. I have 2 critical issues, 3 important issues not complete, and 2 minor issues. All my texts, calls, emails, and online warranty request don't seem important enough to get a return call back. No one seems to care. I will list them in order of importance. 1. There is a leak in a wall that we just discovered a couple weeks ago. We thought the chest freezer in our garage had a slow leak so we emptied and defrosted it but water kept coming. After moving it we found where water was coming out of the wall, has separated the base board, and mold is visible. I think when ************* the cabinets on that wall, they punctured a drain pipe coming down from upstairs. There is probably mold inside the wall.2. I have no way to attach hurricane shutters on all front ***************** and we are in the middle of HURRICANE season. TM installed the shutters before the decorative foam trim on the front windows, so when ************* came to install the trim they pulled out all the bolts/studs that the shutters attach to because they were in the way. 3. Stair landings are not finished. TM redid the landings due to massive gaps between the planks, but never came back to sand,stain,*********, repaint trim. It's been months. I get to see the 20x a day.4. Incomplete elevation foam. My elevation is supposed to get foam column crown caps on my front balcony. I paid for an upgraded elevation. On the plans, never installed.5. M bath window was listed on my punch list by the super as having a broken seal. Window punch guy came but did not bring a replacement sash. Wasn't on house work order. 6. Pocket door rubbing and leaving black streaks across the door.7. One door needs to be adjusted as it self closes.I'm a patient guy but not communicating at all is ridiculous and unprofessional.I heard this is TM's worst run division in the country and I believe it.

  We closed on our brand-new Taylor Morrison home in the ********** community in ********, ** on 6/29/22. Due to poor quality construction, we had a long list of pre-closing and two-week post-closing items that are still outstanding over a year later. Weve been through many construction superintendents and *************** (****** being the best to date), and have made very little progress. We had our kitchen completely demolished and redone starting 2/20/23, and it was to be a **** day project BUT it is still not complete as I type this. Taylor Morrison has consumed a ridiculous amount of our time with the constant rework, no-shows, and actual work being done, and we keep putting off and have not been able to take a family vacation, due to constantly being in a wait status for contractors to complete the job. For 19+ weeks our kitchen was inoperable, again, due to poor construction decisions and lack of quality work and builder supervision (some of which we communicated early in the build process and was never remedied). And, to top it off, our kitchen is still not complete! We have just been sitting idle and the work that we were told would be done before or shortly after closing is still not complete over 13+ months later. Almost all of the issues weve had are due to poor quality workmanship or shortcuts made by Taylor Morrison. There are many other issues we have decided to just do ourselves so that we know it is done right. For the last year we have been very gracious and patient with Taylor Morrison, but we have had enough. All of this outstanding work needs to be completed so that our family of five can carry on with our lives.

  Taylor Morrison values its customers and in a show of support of its customers after closing, the Taylor Morrison Limited Home Warranty Program is designed to provide our customers an appropriate and convenient method for asserting claims, to ensure that each customerr's home is built in accordance with the building plans and specifications, industry standards, and meets all contractual requirements as detailed in the Purchase Agreement. Each of these provisions are reviewed and accepted by the prospective buyer prior to closing on their home. 

  Taylor Morrison regrets any frustration and inconvenience the warranty process has caused them.  
   
  We have been in communication with the customer since this complaint was entered and an in-person meeting has occurred. Since this meeting, the majority of the kitchen work (and reimbursements) has occurred with the exception of paint work, which has been scheduled.

  Delivering a quality home with excellent customer service remains our focus and promise to the customer. We thank the customer for choosing ******************** and ask the BBB to consider this issue resolved, since we have provided information regarding the status of repairs.

  To date, we have not received the full reimbursement nor has the remaining paintwork been scheduled as the previous communication from Taylor Morrison indicated. We even checked the ** warranty platform to see if either has been communicated or even started on **'s end, and no where does it state that it has been scheduled or payment for final reimbursement initiated. It's mind-blowing that a **** DAY job takes well over six MONTHS, and it is still not complete. Plus this does not include any of the warranty items from before we closed in June, 2022, the two-week walk-through, or the other warranty items we have submitted since. Unacceptable!

  Thank you for giving Taylor Morrison the opportunity to respond to the customer's feedback to our initial response.  The reimbursement check has been sent to the customer via ***** and we received confirmation from ***** that the check arrived at the customer's home on Saturday, September 23, 2023.  We apologize for stating in our initial response that the check reimbursement had been completed.  Upon further investigation, the check reimbursement was indeed being processed at that time, however there was a discrepancy with the dollar amount submitted, which delayed the check request, and it could not be processed until the error was corrected.

  The **************** Representative has been in regular contact with the customer, ensuring the customer was aware once the check was fully processed and out for delivery, as well as closing the loop to schedule the remaining open warranty items.

  Thank you for allowing us to address the Customers concerns.  We consider these issues resolved and ask that; the BBB similarly considers this matter closed.
