We were proud owners of a Pepper Viner home in 2004, when we built from the ground up. There were definitely construction defects from the time of the build but being first time home buyers we did not pay enough attention to the details. I would advise anyone looking to have Pepper Viner build their home to have frequent checks of the construction throughout your build and warranty. We have had major water leaks and damage from our bay windows (which Pepper Viner admitted was due to faulty installation and attempted to fix it several times without success) but will no longer take any responsibility beyond the warranty. Another major disappointment was our concrete was stained prior to being cured resulting in permanent flaws. The concrete contractor did make it right, NOT Pepper Viner, by signing an agreement with us directly to have yearly treatments to our floors. There are several other defects in the construction; however, our bay windows and our flooring have been our biggest challenge. Be advised that although your home may look great early on, they do NOT age well.

Building with pepper Viner was so smooth and simple. As a first time buying they helped give me all the information and tips I would need! They also continue to improve your home after you move in!

We have only been in the house less than a month so this is not based on an extended observation

We love the amount of custom options for our home inside and out

We feel the home is constructed very well

We like the designs we had to chose from

Customer service was great with Alma Newberry.

We had a disappointing experience with sales rep and some venders.

Time frame of home completion kept getting pushed back.

It was the smoothest, professional environment, and most pleasant and satisfy outcoming that I could possibly hope for.

There was so many things wrong upon move in.

Overall, it has been a good process with some very unique design considerations that can be difficult to find with other builders. Pepper Viner also permits a fair amount of customization at lower price points (200-300K). In general, the sales and building management team seem to be on top of the build process.

They did not pick a good management company for me to deal with. I was not pleased with them.

Janet made my first made my first time buying experience great

There were too many mistakes made by Pepper Viner’s sales staff during both the preliminary sales process and the build AND the follow-up to the “punch list” has been so slow that it’s been more than a year and fixes have still not been completed. Communication from initial offer through today has been confusing if not nearly absent. There has been shoddy work in places that Pepper Viner representatives have either dismissed or hoped we wouldn’t notice. We have been very disappointed because we had once thought of Pepper Viner as the premiere local builder.

Phenomenal home, built as promised.

Areas For Improvement

Areas For Improvement - None, great experience overall

Areas Of Satisfaction

Areas Of Satisfaction - Shelby Mowrey did an amazing job for me. She kept a keen eye on my house project, knew my needs, was able to identify a few issues as they arose during the build, and get them solved for me. She was proactive and helpful through the entire process. I've had a home built before through Centex Homes... To their detriment, they did not have anyone working directly with their clients and I had no point of contact for things that came up during the building process. Shelby not only was a great point of contact, but she exceeded my expectations on so many levels.

I love my Pepper Viner home. All the amenities work as planned except for the toilets. I would never choose a Sterling toilet. They require a lot of care to keep them clean.

Expertise

Expertise - I give a lot of credit to Steve the sales manager for coordinating our deal and making sure everything was running smoothly. A big thanks to Sean for making sure the little things were finished and our house was ready to move into. Sean has been great about returning our calls to help us fix anything that needs fixing on our house.

Construction Quality

Construction Quality - We just love our house. Our house was a spec home and you all did a great job picking out things that Amber and I just love. We love the tile, the quartz counters in kitchen and bathroom, the vaulted ceilings, the way the drywall is hand done. We love the outside lights and the metal roofs. We are very happy!

Value

Value - Our house appraised exactly for what we paid for it. We love the upgrades that you chose.

Areas For Improvement

Areas For Improvement - Area51 process could be explained better. I think a walkthrough with them on the house and what we could expect from them would have been great. We were told a camera would be installed in the front of our house but it was installed in the backyard where we will never use that. The router that was included with the house did not cover the entire house. We ended up having to go with Cox modem and now they say we cannot use the automation features in our home.

Areas Of Satisfaction

Areas Of Satisfaction - You have good people working for you. Sean, Steve, Marsha and office admin people like Joe and Margie all were very accommodating to our needs with our house.

Current Referrals

Current Referrals - Very likely

We are in our home now 2 years and not all the follow up work has been completed at our house.

The follow up repairs from the initial 30 day checklist took nearly a year for most to be completed. Some of the same items carried over to the 1 year list. As of today, 2 years and 2 months later, restaining of the back patio (on the 30 day and 1 year list) which was inspected and agreed to be stained, hasn't been addressed.

Everyone we had contact with went above a beyond to try and make this a pleasant experience.

Expertise

Expertise - Out sales agent was very knowledgable; but if she had any questions, she was not uncomfortable in asking the construction supervisor for assistance. They were the perfect team!

Professional & Organized

Professional & Organized - We were kept up to date with any problems or delays. There were no hidden suprizes.

Areas Of Satisfaction

Lead Source

Lead Source - We were looking to relocate from out of state and had visited several locations. We never considered building, but are very happy with the results.

We’ve been in the house a year now and still loving every minute! We enjoy the quality craftsmanship, the attention to detail, and the personal care each Pepper Viner employee takes when scheduling work repairs and/or follow-ups.

Great experience and I would recommend this builder to anyone I know!

Pepper Viner Homes staff are very polite and easy to work with.

Absolutely not going to recommend Pepper Viner to anyone much less my friends

I am very satisfied with the construction of the home. The only thing I have a complaint about is the strip of land outside the house that gets muddy when it rains because they didn't put gravel down.

Areas For Improvement

Areas For Improvement - They didn't.

Lead Source

Lead Source - I heard about them travelling down the road, plus my sister-in-law highly recommended them for not just their craftsmanship but the quality and efficiency of the house itself.
