NELSON HOMES

We paid 1/2 in cash down on the house. They did not start until 3 months after they said they would. The owner of the company was nasty and belligerant. Anything they asked of us we did immediately. They dragged their feet and sometimes I thought we would never finish this house. Of course there were things wrong when we moved in because the building inspectors told the builder that he had to let us move in before going to settlement because he was taking so long to complete the house that we had moved 4 times. They weren't real major things, but if the house had been inspected by the builder with a punch list then these things would not have been wrong. The diswasher was incorrectly installed and it leaked all over the kitchen floor the first time we used it. The carpet was not seamed correctly and a representative from a carpet company had to come and redo all of the seams. The inspectors were so disgruntled with the builder that they told him they would charge him $50 every thime they had to come out to inspect something because he didn't get professionals to do the plumbing, etc., just the guys who worked for him did the work and they didn't do it correctly. It was a lot of small things but the frustrating part was they cut down some trees to get the house in and then they took a bulldozer and pushed them down into the woods near the creek. We had to spend another $1500 to have them removed because it looked trashy. When they put grass seed down they didn't even remove the twigs and branches and the gravel from the yard - they just seeded over top everything. It has just been one thing after another and with little or no response from the company. I would not recommed them to anyone.
