Lighting package, switches, placement of switches is chaotic at best. The placement makes no logical sense. The lack of two-way switches for rooms with multiple entrance points is consistently poor throughout the house. Landscaping provided was significantly below expectation in terms or quality, planning and thoroughness than what I would expect at this price point.
My home is made of quality work and materials for the most part. There are some things that I would have appreciated the option to upgrade (back part of a drawer has plastic pieces, would have upgraded to metal, a front door that doesn’t have so much glass, space between island pendants are not equal, primary shower- tile to ceiling, shower along back wall making it bigger, primary toilet-install a door, different door handles (instead of round)
I would recommend everybody to Garman.
Our home seems very well made.
Garman was easy to work with. They gave us a detailed schedule and delivered on time or ahead of schedule, as promised, at each stage of the process, which in our experience is rare for a builder.
Garman worked with my schedule in order to let me plan my move efficiently. They answered my questions throughout the process and had my quality home completed ahead of schedule!
Be more flexible with options, and hire subcontractors that do better quality work
There was a design flaw in the kitchen with the island too close to the main counters. The stairs to the first floor were too steep for children, another design flaw in their Davenport plan
We like the beautiful styles, floor plan and stonework of our home. The team has been professional and prompt with all of our concerns.
The workmanship and also very organized. Really like the Garman book we received at home orientation.
The closing process was a disappointment.
Very pleased with the quality, design and schedule for building of our house. Stan Martin was extremely helpful through the entire project and Sue in Customer Care took care of any issues that we had.
Quality and responsiveness.
The project manager was extremely helpful and attentive. The home style and design are all top quality. We are very pleased overall.
The out sourced team handling sales and settlement process was not concerned about my needs. Their lack of communication and people skills was clearly evident. Several people left the consulting company during our building process.
Felt that the communication during the build was excellent. Micah was wonderful in keeping us updated on progress and plans. The quality of the build of our house was superb. Very well done, with almost no issues.
Everything about the process was smooth, organized, efficient and easy to follow. We would highly recommend Garman to anyone! And we do!!!
Garman builder were very easy to work with from the beginning design process to the end of construction. I really liked their organized process and how they stuck to their schedule almost to the day, and even finished my home over a week early. All workmen I encountered were professional and courteous.
Overall, I had a good experience, however I feel as though short cuts are taken with the HVAC duct work in the basement. The duct work should be insulated and not drip water if 2 dehumitifiers are running 24/7.
Nice House overall. Was hoping for semi custom got a development house, but that is okay.
I’ve purchased several homes before and some were new construction. These homes were from local builders and some very large nationwide builders. Garman by far out performed them all!
Good focus on the presales and sales experience and effort, so far the post sale support has been slow and could improve. Lack of attention to landscaping, exterior appearance of property is a detractor.
We are having things like our walls and trim break - it’s clear that Garman did not use the best materials. They also short cutted our back yard in terms of an easement
Overall experience was great. We had some hiccups along the way, but Garman was able to work through the majority of them. We are still waiting for some items to be completed (almost 8 weeks after settlement), but I recognize this is likely outside of Garmans’ control.
We are very pleased with the quality and the communication between the builder and ourselves as a house being built.
