I wish I knew then what I know now. I would not have built this home. The quality of the finishing work is below the EG Stoltzfus reputation. There was a light hung crooked (not level) in the guest bath. I pointed it out at walk though and it was never addressed. The paint on the walls was done while there was debris on the walls from drywalling the house. My yard is a mud pit! I know my home was all but completed inside in October. I stopped on several occasions to see if there was someone working at the house. On at least 4 days in late October my house was empty. Why wasn't my yard seeded? There was plenty of time! Very poor quality in the finishing work. Landscapers dug up a communication line in the yard between my home and the neighbor's home. There is still a large hole with a orange cone and two boards. This is a liability for us as homeowners. It should have been addressed. I spoke to both landscapers on the day they made the mistake digging up the line. They told me they contacted their boss and EG. Yet, nothing has been done to correct it. Meanwhile there is excavating equipment across the street. Why not fill in the hole?
Everyone was very responsive. For the most part an excellent experience.
Some of the subcontracted people it seems the workmanship was rushed. Flooring, painting. Had to have flooring people out to fix glue residue on top of the LVP, powder room floor did not go all the way to wall (gaps). They came out and fixed.
There is a horrible sound in the walls when the wind blows as the siding is rubbing against the foam board insulation. Since there is no OSB on top of or behind the foam board. The scratching sound is horrible when the wind blows.
Also by not using OSB I can hear every roll of the neighbors garbage can from my bedroom. Very little noise protection with the foam board.
I am not the first (or probably the last) to complain about this. Some neighbors have had the scratching sound for 3 years without improvement as “the house settles”.
Lastly and maybe it’s the layout of the house, you can hear conversations quite easily through the walls of adjoining rooms. I’m not sure how much insulation is between rooms or if a thinner drywall was used (½” vs ¾”?)
But everyone has been very responsive to our questions, The cabinets are beautiful.
Had to have HVAC company out to rebalance the house. There was one air vent in an upstairs bathroom that was not even hooked up. How that got missed I do not know…
EGStoltzfus made the design process fun and manageable. They helped us make informed decision that fit our unique needs and wants. They offered excellent recommendations and advice to help us.
As I’m sure you know purchasing, designing and watching your home through the construction process is a bit frightening. I was very pleased the way it was accomplished through your company. Even now when a small problem comes up there is someone there to help resolve the issue. Thank you for your assistance.
Likely to recommend because we anticipate that the end product will be beautiful and well built. Potential buyers must understand that the EG process is rigid and the price of options can add up quickly, greatly increasing the total cost of the house.
The design team was helpful, knowledgeable, patient and professional. We appreciated them very much as they guided us through all of the many choices.
The entire Egstoltzfus process is friendly and EASY! They really make a dream home and make sure to listen to any concerns you have! They’re knowledgeable and timely to answer any questions! We’re very happy we went with a Egstoltzfus home! Loving it!
The entire house buying/construction process has been executed perfectly. We are pleased with the quality of construction, the timeliness of the schedule, and the professionalism of the staff.
We like the quality of the home. Loved the frequent communication during the build process. The design studio and selection process were outstanding and the staff top notch.
Quality work. All scheduled completion dates were adhered to. Prompt followup for any issues after closing.
They are a very well known and build quality homes; however, my experience moving into a brand new build has not been great. I have had major issues with my HVAC system which also resulted in flooring needing replaced, and a plumbing issue, resulting in the need for drywall and paint repair. Also, my exterior sidewalk lamp still does not work
This was our second time building a new home, but our first experience with EG Stoltzfus. The communication from the very beginning was far superior to our first experience with a different builder. The design process was seamless with everything done in one location versus needing to visit multiple showrooms/contractors for each design element.
Accurate communication, and timely execution of tasks.
Better quality dish washer and stove should be provided in a beautiful and pricey new home
I would recommend building with EG Stoltzfus to anyone! Re-sales aren’t the only option out there, and building gives you more of a say in the partial custom design. It was a first for me and a great experience. Thank you!!
Egs dropped the ball communicating and executing the final project stage
Some of my friends would prefer last restrictions.i
Everything was excellent.
I like the service, and the options available.
The Design studio experience was good . Further the builder always keep up with schedule. No surprises!
They are very responsive to any problems that arise.
Our family has always dreamed of owning a new EGStoltzfus home. We bought a QMI home, so we did not go through the typical build/design process, but we are very happy with the design choices used in the QMI. The process from contract to settlement was very smooth with all parties involved. We love our new house!
Great to work with at all stages of the development and building of our home.
EGStoltzfus does quality work.
Good builders, great support people, very responsive to call backs
