Business ProfileforStanley Martin Homes LLC

MY EXPERIENCE / MY OPINION: I terminated the contract with Stanley Martin Homes for Phase 1 townhome before closing and ultimately surrendered a very large deposit. Besides having to deal with barely any communication from the project managers (quick turnover within a week) from the beginning, water intrusion into the home over an extended period of time caused significant mold growth which was further affected due missing barrier materials at the base of the home and roof. Our inspector found numerous issues including the mold, which was all along the entire backside of the home including the shared firewall in the moisture prone bathroom. Verbally told on more than one occasion that all items would be resolved. The mold was 'treated' by applying a bleaching-type agent with what appeared to be a plastic shovel and letting it dry. When we addressed our concerns prior to insulation installation, including input from a 3rd party mold expert to have these areas cut out/removed, I was ignored. Insulation proceeded. Note, builder does not have to address findings from the private inspection per contract. I was told mold testing is not done throughout the duct systems. I was told they replaced one dripping wet duct but never heard back when my realtor discovered a second one. Buyer is responsible for any mold growth (or regrowth) after closing regardless of the cause including warranty related issues. We were told the matter would be escalated only to have that individual be copied on emails without any communication, including not showing up to a meeting scheduled to discuss concerns. The contract is super long and exhaustive, as if they have been through this several times? I could go on with other issues. They will resell that property probably for more than what I was going to pay for it. If this helps just one family!
