SOUTHFORK HOMES

I am writing in response to the only other review of Southfork homes. Certainly companies change over time - but Southfork built our home in 1993 -1994. We are still in the home and loving it! I recently just had all of my duct work inspected, and they said the builders did a great job of running the correct size duct work and placing my two units to load-balance the house. I still have the original HVAC system - original hot water heaters! As I remember - the owner - Ron U. - was not the most pleasant person to work with - but I do not remember any specifics.

This builder built our home in 2002. I have been telling anybody that would listen to not build with them. It has been almost 10 years, we are having to replace the heating and A/C because they were lowest builder grade they could install at that time. They forgot to hook up the a/c unit so they put it outside the basement window that can't be used for a spare room because in the summer time the unit will run for 20 hours a day. We also learned during the a/c and heating inspection that the duct work was insufficient for a house our size and the return air ducts on the north side of the house were not installed at all. This is just the latest issue. The builder ignored my complaint about the house being terribly hot upstairs in the summer that first year during the warranty period. About 4 years after the house was complete, our house was "Red Tagged" by MUD because our stop valve had a severe leak and had created an underground lake. The contractor was amazed that it wasn't worse, because the stop valve had been leaking for 4 years and finally corroded enough that it became noticeable. I kept telling the builder that I heard water running, nothing was done. I wrote a letter to the builder after my $3000 repair asking him to pay half since it was a faulty connection at the time of construction. I got a letter back saying it wasn't his problem since the builder warranty was over. Right after the builder warranty was up we had a roof leak, I repeatedly try contacting the builder to get the name of the roof contractor so we could have them come out to fix the leak. He never called us back. At the final walk thru we noticed the back sliding glass door was warped. They came out and fixed it, by leaning it on the railing of the deck and hammering it to make the frame fit. It obviously didn't work, but the superintendent for the builder that was in charge of our house told us that was as good as it's going to get. So, needless to say the door was replaced about 4 years ago. notrea

The company made sure to answer all of my questions and made sure I was comfortable with the finished product. They did not take a long time to build the house and the workers were always on time and friendly as well. I would recommend this company. I was very pleased with the service and I have no complaints.

They did an alright job. I was not too pleased with this company. I felt they could have put more detail into the house and taken their time a little bit more. The price seemed reasonable, but there was still some serious slacking. The workers were not very friendly or punctual either.
