We bought our first home this year, from a private homeowner, but the home was built by Preferred Homes. We love our 2yr old home so much when our mother needed to move to our city after losing her husband, we searched for a Preferred Home and got her into a brand new home, in a good quiet section of town for a great affordable price! Before her final move-in date, the company did a "New Home Orientation" to acquaint her with all of the mechanicals/workings of the home and who to call if something wasn't working properly as she has a warranty obviously. A couple of days before her move-in, it was noticed her toilet valve was leaking and we called Preferred up, spoke to the owner directly who ensured us he would have someone over within a day to fix it. He did, and the issue was fixed instantly. They also said if the water did any damage to the tile, they would replace that as well. I couldn't have asked for better service and workmanship for my mother. The only thing I would say could use some work is the tending to new yards. They didn't grade/seed my mother's yard in August, and it is still simply mud and weeds. I did tell her to call them to find out about the seeding, and when she did they said that at the time of year it was, it was too late to seed as it wouldn't have time to grow/establish. So not sure how we will get this issues resolved for next year, but my fiance will likely make some more calls to see if they can come out in the spring.
Description of Work: Selling of new home to our mother upon her move to WI. A new home orientation. Fixing a leaky toilet valve (for free). Grass/seed consultation.

Few problems -- 3 very minor issues to be specific -- after the first year in the house. They cam out and corrected 2 immediately and assured us the third was not a problem, but rather a cosmetic issue.
Description of Work: Purchased a new home from Preferred, while not the highest quality of materials, they used good/standard materials and workmanship at a descent price.

Don't buy
Description of Work: If you buy a home and move into it but not all of the work is done , you will wait and wait and wait to get the work done. They are non responsive and very arrogant when finally able to make a contact. A common wait is 4- 6 months of living in mud. They use every trick known to man to stall, and delay and when pressed, they threaten to "put you at the bottom of the list".
