  Closed on this new home 5 April 2024. Pointed out both trees were dead. They finally brought another dead tree for backyard. I refused it. ****** ****** and former **** knew/know about the dead trees and were on walk thru and on warranty complaint submitted online. Stonehollow gives no copies of what you submit. Will due screen prints from now on. Today ****** ****** says I have to get my own tree for front as I said nothing to **** before. My 1 year warranty expires 4 April 2025 so the tree is covered and Liquid lawn irrigation claimed the front tree was not dead at first inspection. Friday 6 September Liquid Irrigation employees say tree is dead but ****** says my responsibility. I want two good healthy trees and will pursue the other issues with builder until he ignores those too.

  Bought new-build house from Stonehollow Homes. Air Conditioner has been repaired 6 times in the first year and they refuse to replace it. It is a lemon.

  I am rejecting this response because:   This brand new air conditioner has had 6 REPAIRS in less than a year!.  A few of them are FOR THE SAME THING.  It is a lemon.  I don't feel safe accepting this air conditioner.  I am supposed to get a brand new fully functional air conditioner when I purchase a new home.  I don't want to end up spending money on repairs.

  Addendum to complaint:  Air conditioner is now leaking into the drain pan.  Upon researching the subject there are 5 main reasons this happens.  They are as follows: 

   

  1.  Defective Drain Pipe

  2. Improperly installed Drip Pan

  3. A/C drain pan has been damaged

  4. A/C Evaporator coil is frozen

  5. Drain pipe is clogged

   

  None of this is acceptable for a new properly installed air conditioner .

   

  Sincerely,

  The builder has screwed so many people over and I'm just another victim. The builder forgot to install my house exterior lights and I'm the only house in the neighborhood without them. They continually make excuses and never tell me to my face that my requests have been denied. They simply wait until the warranty expires and they give you the middle finger. Already I had the owner of the company promise to fix things but that was a lie. I've left so many messages, emails, social media posts asking for follow up and I got ghosted. They refuse to communicate with me on the matter.

  The Director of Operations met with the family on-site to address their concerns on 10/21/2022. The situation was unfortunate and the lack of communication or understanding early in the pre-construction process led to the current state of frustration for the family. Stonehollow Homes honored the terms of the purchase agreement, and the Director of Operations sent an email (attached) on 10/26/2022 to the family stating all items have been installed per the purchase agreement. The email sent to the family had attachments of email conversations from the community Sales Manager along with the electrical plans, purchase agreement, community specification and a marketing floor plan where electrical items were added on the floor plan.
  
  The frustration escalated further with bad reviews from the family on social media platforms on 1/23/2023 and a message was sent to the family stating "we are sorry to hear of your less than positive experience; customer satisfaction is our #1 priority. Please give our main office a call so we can discuss any issues you may be having **************." The family also sent a message into the Stonehollow Homes website on 1/23/2023 at 12:15 pm CST stating, "I need **** to call me ASAP before I get out of hand". The Director of Construction called the family on 1/23/2023 at 12:57 pm CST letting them know **** would not be able to return calls until the end of the week and if he could address any concerns they may have with their home. The family stated, "You already said No and could not help them".
  
  The Director of Operations also had an engineer from ********************* scheduled 10/27/2022 to address foundation concerns the family had with cracking in the exterior brick faade. A report was generated and emailed (attached) to the family on 11/11/2022 at 10:35 am CST. The report came back clear with no issues to the foundation. A request was made to schedule a ***** to the home to repair/replace any cracked brick and add a couple additional expansion joints on each side of the home.
  
  Currently the Stonehollow Homes Warranty Manager is working with the family to schedule contractors to address and/or repair items on a 3rd party inspection report provided by the family.

  (The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
  During the pre construction meeting the exterior house lights were never mentioned as an upgrade. I spent over 50k on upgrades you don't think I'd spend another few hundred for house lights?!?! The company will say this and that but at the end of the day they messed up and will make excuses. Not the builder type you will want to work with after spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on. Don't work with a cheap company and if story. I'll be happy to go to the open house and let everyone know how I feel. This company has screwed over the whole neighborhood. Simply ask anyone here in ****** ************************* **. It's cute that they would list regular warranty items they are fixing and acting like they did so much for me. After over *********************** the first year of living here I can't say this company has done much of anything good for any homeowner in the neighborhood. Around 15 neighbors came to my house to complain about the company to **** the owner once they learned he was visiting my house. This occurred on a week day around noon so these people left work to address him. That's how bad it is here folks. Don't let then fill you. Just ask around to the owners here.

  From the beginning, entire driveway and sidewalk had to be replaced due to them not following city code.Our grass had to be replaced twice, due to dead sod and corn fields still growing in our yard. Our sprinkler system broken/not working.workers came out to fix the grass again, told them where our fiber optic was, mins later cord was cut unable to work for 3 days. Not reimbursed. And was told by our POC, they don't handle things like that.Primary fan didn't work, the piece they installed was broken. We have stains and a shoe print around our bathroom toilet.We had a major leak from our kitchen island, that resulted in them ripping out all of our floors, and our entire kitchen, leaving us in an uninhabitable home for almost 2 months with a toddler. They didn't even want to rip out all of our floors or check for moisture and the bedroom against the kitchen was also affected.They came in multiple times, and continuously rip out chunks of the floor, which were proven to be soaked with water and mold. And the company coming out and ripping up the floors never cleaned!They wouldn't even vacuum even after asking multiple times to please clean. We had to clean and use our brand new Costco cordless vacuum, which we were promised reimbursement.The sub contractors hired, that work for Stonehollow, came to fix the problem and let us know these problems were already here..Made us take photos of the damage that was done so they were not held accountable for poor craftsmanship.The plumber that came out and repaired the initial leak told us that this leak had been here for a while now. Our contractor told us that he is shocked it passed city inspection. We saw the granite that was installed around our stove top was cracked and they tried to glue it back.They installed a different granite for stovetop.Our front door has a huge chip out of it and still installed it.primary shower pan was installed with rust! Tried to sand it out. Then spray it! Much more to say, limited space here

  Business Response /* (1000, 5, 2022/11/21) */
  Stonehollow Homes and the customer have been in communication on the status/schedule for all repairs to be completed. The frustration came from the lack of communication when a previous employee resigned at the start of the project and the project manager was on vacation at the time. The job sat idle for a couple of weeks after demolishing of the kitchen cabinets and the water extraction process. Once back from vacation, the project manager scheduled all repairs from the demolish and the installation of wood flooring. There was also lack of communication from the subcontractors which added to the frustration. The subcontractors would either show up unannounced or not show up at all for a scheduled appointment with the customer.
  
  Stonehollow Homes offered compensation for hotel stay and a per diem for meals during the re-construction of the kitchen. The customer denied compensation and wanted to seek counsel instead. Stonehollow Homes would like the opportunity to address any outstanding issues remaining.
