Chesmar Homes

Chesmar Homes advertise about higher standards but their homes are of the lowest quality. They use cheap materials and extremely negligent and irresponsible contractors. Chesmar's resources who should be responsible for maintaining quality and overseeing jobs done by contractors are not bothered to pay a visit during the construction process. This company is pathetic. You get so many issues in the first year itself. It takes so much of your valuable time just scheduling these maintenances. They will only take care of minor issues that do not cost contractors much. For anything significant, their contractors will just refuse to do it. Chesmar Resources will just communicate emails and notes from contractors. You are at the mercy of contractors for maintenance. Chesmar hardly has any sway over its contractors. They must be hiring the cheapest contractors. Chesmar has no control I had such a nightmare experience with them. I thought they would have better products than budget builders and paid a huge premium price for the house. If I had known that I am going to get the cheapest quality product then I would have paid the cheapest price per sqft. Do not go by their advertisements and marketing. In reality, they are no better than lowest-tier budget builders. Their salespeople lie about almost everything. They are only trying to make you sign their documents and collect their commission. I wanted to buy the model house for which they used better quality materials but the salesperson told me it has already been sold. They put the model house for sale a few months after we signed the paperwork.

I want to start off by say that we like the community and amenities of the Wasser Ranch neighborhood, but the quality of home built by Chesmar has been far below what they advertise. During the construction of our home they were multiple with poor quality workmanship. We noticed it first with the plumbing because the concrete contractor broke some of the pipe in our foundation. Working as a plumber in the area I knew what to look for before and after inspections were done. They tried to pass a lot of the faults off as “we would have caught that” but didn’t want to make the repairs until we stated that we would not close on a house that wasn’t built properly. Later on in the build of our home we learned that the a/c had multiple issues on thing that weren’t installed and things that were installed improperly. After calling for an inspection from a local a/c company and going back and forth with AirTron the a/c faults were repaired after a couples weeks of emails. As for the plumbing, it took the plumbers (Diamond Plumbing) approx two weeks to get the house up to code. When the plumber first finished the house we walked through and found leaks and beer bottles all over the house. When we addressed some of the issues with the plumbing, Chesmar wanted me to explain to their plumber the faults in the plumbing. A few of the faults were not corrected until I called for a state plumbing inspector to come out to the house. As the build with the house went on there were other issues with flooring, damaged tubs, and multiple other finish items in the house. The mortgage company recommended as there premier lender had multiple issues as well, come to find out that their owner by Chesmar as well and our closing was delayed by 2 weeks. I have multiple emails stating the things were finished by multiple different contractors and after we moved in, we now have other emails contradicting the original emails. Since we have closed in less than 2 month I have missed 7 days or work, so they could finish the construction of our home that they had an extra 2 weeks to finish due to their mortgage company. Since we have moved in we have had the floor repaired once that wasn’t done right, and they have to come back to do it again. We’ve also had to be here multiple times for a tub that was repaired and wasn’t done right so now we have to take at least two more days off in addition to the first two we missed for tub repairs. 2-3 more days to meet with Clint King the construction manager about all the repairs needed for (floors, tubs, fixtures, paint, doors, garage door, irrigation, sod, and a/c). The a/c has broke twice since we closed less than two months ago, that was another 2 day ordeal with a run around about why it broke. All in all we have missed a lot of time from our live and work for incomplete construction, Clint King says “its normal to have this many repairs in a new construction home” and that it’s not a big deal miss work or to wait around for “warranty” work to be done.

We are building now

Well I signed a contract for a new home with Chesmar Home. Next, I hired my own home inspector, which he found lost of things that needed to be fixed. The sale person told me everything would be fix in a timely manner which did not happen. After that I got my money back and went to another builder.

A great company to work with. The people that we've had the opportunity to work with, I guess you call the salesperson out there, helps you with all the upgrades and stuff, she is just really a sweetheart. We have met with the superintendent and also the guy in charge of the building with the finance people and the quality of the homes that they build are absolutely outstanding. We had the opportunity to meet a good builder, an independent builder that was looking to purchase a home and he is a home builder. We were talking just in general terms and he says if I decide to buy a home this is the home home I'll buy. They know what they are doing. I thought that was darn good. I highly recommend Chesmar Homes.
