Salesman was 'take it or leave it' kind of guy. We left.
Description of Work: We couldn't get passed their showroom. You pick from what they offer. No leeway. Sorry. We're spending A LOT of money and we'll pick what style and types of items we want in our new home. We walked away. So glad we did.

Description of Work: We chose Schumacher Homes to build our house because of the floor plan and they seemed like they were easier to deal with than other companies. While I will say that we love our floor plan I absolutely do not like Schumacher Homes out of Greensburg (not sure if the problem is nationwide or not). | |We began our house in June of 2013. Our house was finished April 1, 2014 - way beyond their promised 120 day build time, approx 5 months passed their deadline! There were concerns that we expressed for the build i.e. hitting rock during the foundation that were ignored repeatedly and then we received a bill for $15,000 in change fees. Plus changes fees for their oversight in extra stone and concrete. We would receive change orders with no prior authorization. AND we had 3 different builders on our one house. | |Getting answers to our questions from the office and builders is like pulling teeth, nobody seems to have any answers. We almost had subcontractors walk off the job because of Schumacher's downright ignorance to the consumer. They are awful to deal with and even harder to work with. Another great example of Schumacher hard at work is our porch beam. It didn't pass inspection the first time around due to lack of support. It took Schumacher almost a full 3 months to determine a new design to ensure it would pass inspection. | |Living in our house now for almost 7 weeks we are seeing spots of "shotty" construction. Our soffit under the porch looks like a 5 yr old put it up. There are paint spots that were left unpainted. It took 7 weeks to get them to finish the weatherstripping (the warranty guy was AWESOME to deal with, the only Schumacher employee that I would work with). The interior doors all needed readjusted. The outdoor doors needed readjusted because they wouldn't deadbolt. The ceiling in the master bathroom is terrible - it bows and arches above the shower and sinks. And we have a cracked header above the steps going upstairs, which we have expressed that this needs corrected but have not had a response back. | |All in all I would never build with Schumacher, nor would I ever recommend Schumacher to anyone; unless of course you are looking for bad construction, lack of answers to your questions, or have no timeline to finish construction.

Description of Work: Built a custom home on our lot. Many delays, many different tradesmen involved in each aspect. Turnover in personnel,(3 personal builders, 2 different painting contractors, 2 different trim contractors, lots of excuses and apologies. Numerous change orders and additional, unexpected costs. Though it took months longer than expected the finished product is pretty nice, but we're still waiting and waiting for finishing touches.

work in process.
Description of Work: I attended a meet the builders with this company. It was very informative, spelling out the process of building, costs etc. We got to meet the person that would build the house if we decide to go with them. All in all, I went into the meeting with 3 choices in mind, build with them, another company or just buy a house. I have decided if I dont buy a house then I will be building with this company. At the iniatial Meet the Builders, we were late due to traffic. When we got there, Jackie took us around and showed us everything....She is what made us want to come back. After a couple months, we decided we wanted to move forward with building. So we contacted schumacher again, met with their sales rep and picked the home we wanted. he went through the extras we could add on with us, but never pushed upselling which was nice. What I dont like, is I dont always get answers to my questions. I have emailed him on several occasions and he pretty much just ignors them. Very frustrating. I am spending a lot of money and feel that I should get better service. Currently we have signed thier initial papers, and pending mortgage approval and some other meetings (picking colors, final meeting with builders) we will move forward. I will keep you updated as we move forward.

As the customer I will look at this review in a few different segments. There were so many moving parts that a short review will not do it justice: 1. Pre-Sale: We worked with Bill, who was fantastic. He worked very hard to find our needs and match them to a home that met those needs. He always kept us updated, and responded quickly to our questions and concerns. We needed to sell our home before we could begin this process. We were so pleased with how willing Schumacher was to work with us, even when we had to have our deadline extended. The options, costs (of home) and process were explained to us flawlessly and we accurate and complete. My one concern with this process was the company's unwillingness to help us understand what the costs would be for developing the lot I selected. To me, the lot I chose depended greatly on what the development costs would be, and I was not satisfied with Schumacher's inability to help me in this area. In the end i selected a lot on blind faith, and had to make the sale contingent on Schumacher's review of the property. Luckily, it all worked out. However, had the costs been significantly higher than budgeted, we would have had to start over on finding a lot. It is my opinion that Schumacher should be more willing to analyze the property and provide you with exact figures, before you put an offer on the lot. 2. After agreement: This is where things got a little dicey. I don't want to be too h****** them, because I really do feel that they did well, but this step could have been handled better. We received bits of information about what was required of us from several different players (sales, builder and coordinator) and this information is hard for a lay person to digest and act on. It was my responsibility to locate an engineer and surveyor. It was also my responsibility to locate and coordinate utilities, and to find out township requirements. This resulted in dozens of phone calls and so much back and forth. It was a lot of work. They make this part sound far easier than it is, and often provide you with information that is contrary to the information provided by your township, utility company and other professionals. Also, because there was no comprehensive list of what needed to be done, at least not that was provided to me, it seemed like the information gathering would never end. Further, each answer received changed the costs we were expecting. Certain township requirements nearly pushed our dream out of our price range. Just like the comments on the lot above, I think this information should be researched and provided by the builder. As a lay person it is common that you don't know the questions to ask. These costs, like the lot costs mentioned above, would have influenced our decision on where to build the home. 3. The builder: The builder (who will act as a general contractor during the build) was fantastic. My wife an I both noted how much we enjoyed working with him. he seems very knowledgeable, friendly and willing to work with you. I am looking forward to working with him now as we head towards the beginning of construction. 4. Other costs: There are a few items that Schumacher holds you responsible for, that many other builders cover. I feel like this was hidden during the sales process. I know it is not exactly their responsibility to admit the negative comparisons, but they are noticeable differences. Schumacher requires you to carry a builders risk policy. The policy that they require is very difficult to find. Many big name insurance companies laughed at us as we asked them if they offered this coverage. They told us that our builder should be covering insurance during the build. It took us almost a full month just to locate a company that would write a policy that satisfied their requirements, and for the record it cost over $1,000 for a 12 month policy. Another surprise for us was utilities. Most builders cover the cost of gas and electricity during the build, Schumacher does not. When we called the gas and electric companies they expressed surprise (just like the insurance company) that we were being required to cover these costs. Lastly, brick to grade. Every builder that we spoke to included brick to grade on the foundation. It never occurred to me that Schumacher would not, it just seemed like a standard feature. Well, it was not. When we asked how much it would cost to do the brick to grade they advised us it would be $15,000 (over double the estimates I have received from outside vendors). I will update this review with more information as the process continues,
Description of Work: We have employed Schumacher Homes to construct a new home for us. While construction has not yet started, the purchase process has completed. I will update this review throughout the construction process

It looked like they had a good product. The cost to add things was pretty high. Their base price was really reasonable, but then if you wanted to add anything it jumped the price up pretty quickly. They did a good job. I would consider using them.
Description of Work: Schumacher Homes gave us an estimate to build a home. I don't know if we are going to use them.

The overall experience was fantastic and I would recommend them to anyone!
Description of Work: We went through a sales rep who helped us pick out each and everything we wanted inside and outside the home. The rep and customer coordinator made the experience second to none. It was fun, painless and exciting! The builder was punctual and knowledgeable. For a large company their workmanship and quality is top notch!

So far they have been great. They let us get into the detail that we wanted for our home. They have a square footage based pricing system so it is easy to see how much each change will cost. They are very responsive when we have questions.
Description of Work: They are currently building our home.
