Homebuilder Customer Reviews

No one knows more about a homebuilder's quality and service than the builder's customers.

Since 1984, Eliant has been independently evaluating the performance of homebuilders across the U.S., Canada, and the Middle East:

  • We ask recent homebuyers to evaluate their builder's purchase process.
  • Then, we ask homeowners to evaluate their builder's quality and service (1) after the first 5-months in the home, and (2) again at the end of the first year.

In "Homebuilder Customer Reviews", we present the ratings and comments collected from new-home buyers at these three points in time.

Eliant verifies that only evaluations completed by actual customers are included in this "Homebuilder Customer Reviews" site. No other evaluations - whether collected by the builder or those appearing on other public sites - are included here. All customer comments are included verbatim, no editing is permitted.

Grand homes never gave one date for move in. they initially said Dec 2024 target but eventually the house was completed 3 months later. Custom bed room window was not built as it was promised

Working with [name removed] & [name removed] made the experience of building our first home a good experience. They are both great guys who went above & beyond for us.

Everything was exceptional with the exception of the brick & how it turned out with the company that laid it. Poor lay & finish to the brick.

Grand home misplaced kitchen island by over 1 foot per blueprint which did not allow full size refrigerator to be installed. A Grand homes error. Pre close cleaning not done, dirt everywhere when we moved in, no one completed a check on home for defective items prior close. Only broken promises. I have built 5 houses prior to this one and this has been my worst experience. Grand homes should fix their errors and do what they promise!

The entire process of building a Grand Home was seamless for us, from the initial contracting through move-in! [name removed] was great at listening to our wants & needs, and continued to work with us on different model options until we decided on the Edgewater Lake [name removed]. Once we got into the build stage, I cannot praise [name removed] enough of how awesome of a builder he is! All of our questions were promptly answered (even after moving in), and we always felt secure knowing he was doing everything possible to build us a flawless home. THANK YOU BOTH!

What we liked was the semi-customization option, the selection of materials, and the options available through the Design Studio. However, we did not like the level of customer service across different departments.

Everyone was extremely Accessible and answered all our questions. If [name removed] said something was going to happen, he kept his word.

I wish I had better experience at design center because me and [name removed] agreed on some second kitchen cabinets but those weren't added to the PSA and I thought they were but at the design center, I got know that i'll have to pay $1800 to get those cabinets. Even [name removed] told design center about it that there is miscommunication and design center girl emailed her boss but my request was denied and I ended up paying for it. Which wasn't my fault. Also, when you building new home there should be more options or suggestions for little details you could miss and it's really hard to get it done later on.

Everything was great. Although I was a little disappointed in [name removed] not returning phone calls or texts. He seemed very attentive initially, but after a few phone calls and texts he disappeared. On the other hand [name removed] was GREAT! Super attentive and professional.

Lack of transparency in Move-in and Closing dates, Poor workmanship causing multiple rework, material shortages and delays, Use of non-documented citizens (illegals used to do skilled labor cheap taking away American jobs as part of a documented Subcontractors work force) performing sub standard work requiring rework, Contractors drinking alcohol on job sites on the weekends and evenings after Project manager is off site. Workforce inability to speak that native language of the USA (English) you are unable to communicate basic concepts to them due to that barrier. Despite cheaper labor being used homes have doubled in cost in the last 10 years. this is my 2nd grand home and It is unlikely that I'd buy another or even recommend [name removed] to anyone else. Warranty process is very bad, their focus is controlling costs not customer service. they are very capable folks to put the problems back on the customer vs take ownership and solve it within the first 30-60 days. should be a no questions asked policy the first 60 days. Cold water supply line froze to hot water heater I was told just to wait for it to get above freezing to thaw out...3 days later.....no hot water...Sprinkler line was not glued causing water main pipe to separate and burst. I was told to take a picture and call the city when it was clearly on [name removed] homes side of the supply line. So many issues 7+ warranty claims in first 30 days of home. Walls and sheetrock are not smooth and even you can see the seams of sheetrock and sheetrock tape that bunched up on wall, badly patched areas of sheetrock and more. it's just a really bad quality of home.

We've had the worst contract experience! From not getting accurate information about the house we're building, to getting the feeling you don't care about our business, and you'll sell the house whether we want it or not... and not responding to any of our emails regardless of who the emails were being sent to! The overall design experience was good. Even though we had a couple of items that were agreed on in the design but were never implemented, or were done in a different way that was agreed to. The building process was awful! We started with a really good initial meeting and very promising setup. But after that things started going downhill! From changing the builder a couple of times, to not listening to most of the directions or pointers that were discussed almost on a weekly basis especially towards the final phase of the build, which resulted in a delay in closing and having to go back after closing and fix many of these issues that were pointed out before!!

Closing was not that great . The dates did not work With my work schedule. I was pressured to close since it was the end of the year . But I was still under the 5 day period of notification. I was told penalty fee etc . So the excitement of new home was not there . I came just signed and left back to work and took keys 3 days later .I was made to rush to sign documents and get done asap as it was going to be past Dec 31st. They could have accommodated closing better . The shutters in front of my house were not painted even after closing . So family pic infront of house , I could not share with family and friends . I had to hide / edit pic of that part of house . So that aspect busted the family excitement . It is what it is . [name removed] was excellent , [name removed] was awesome . They did a great job . I appreciate their commitment and hardwork .

We were disappointed in the entire experience. Not only would we never buy another “Grand Home” or recommend it to anyone. We make it a point to share our negative experience with anyone we can.
