countless construction errors, code violations, lack of communication, arrogant and abrasive communications, dis-honest, lack of follow through. House has in-adequate HVAC, On demand hot water lacks recirculating system so now we waste water. Home is supposed to be energy efficient, but we see daylight around exterior doors. Items pointed out on final walk through still not resolved / addressed 18 months later. Peter Castanos most rude and arrogant member of this inept team and shouldn't be involved in any customer interaction. Sales agent dishonest about lot availability, homes that became availability, and gave different pricing depending on whether she liked you or not. Many options for the home that state throughout the home, had exclusions not mentioned in the contract and their response was simply we just don't do that. Oil rubbed bronze fixtures throughout home, however laundry room had cheap plastic chrome faucet and builder wouldn't replace without a $400 charge. Home has option for 8 ft doors throughout, however two doors were standard height. Their response was we don't do that. Courtyard option stated masonry wall, however it was built out of 2X8 pine, plywood (OSB), and stucco. Many neighbors unhappy.
Description of Work: buld of home. I would not recommend this builder. My wife and I have built 8 homes between us and this company is by far the worst we have dealt with.

THEIR PROFESSIONALISM WAS TERRIBLE. THE PEOPLE WHO I SPOKE WITH JUST SAID WE BUILT YOUR HOME FOR YOU AND THAT WAS IT. THEY DIDN'T EVEN SERVICE IT FOR ME. I HAD TO TAKE THEM BEFORE THE LICENSED CONTRACTING BOARD TO GET MY BACKYARD FIXED.
Description of Work: I HAD A CREW FROM THIS COMPANY COME AND BUILD MY THREE STORY, FIVE BEDROOM HOME.
