So far, so good. It is a community in development so we will see, but pleased so far.

Not a Spec Home!

Your process. It was extremely confusing as to what Melanie was responsible for documenting vs what Kristen at Design was responsible for documenting. It was also mentioned that we were guinea pigs and I have to say, what we went through was tough. Not always knowing/understanding who should be doing what was extremely confusing. Also, we had to spend hours each time we were sent a document to ensure things were correct and nothing was missing. And we found items during most reviews, why, not sure, but that was frustrating.

Attention to detail despite your standard of excellence.

The quality of their work was excellent and they stayed on schedule throughout the project.

Having built 4 houses, this was the most enjoyable of the other experiences due to the organization and professionalism at Garman.

Our home seems to be a solid, well made home overall. It has updated design features that support our family functionality.

I was satisfied with the construction except for the ceiling fan. Other than that, I have no complaints.

QUALITY OF WORK WAS GREAT

It would be nice if Garman would get back to us within the two day timeframe as promised. In the meantime grinning they did, however, there are issues of concern. One being the screen they came to look at needed replaced still hasn’t been replaced. The yard situation is daunting. Still loads of bugs rocks and debris making it very difficult to navigate with a dacshund. Our dog stares at other yards. Also had great weather so that excuse is invalid.

I have built homes before and I feel like some corners have been cut. Stan Martin is first rate. He was my contact person and kept me posted. He was attentive and concerned that things were done right.
A gas water heater was installed and we have propane. We were w/o hot water for days and that could have been very dangerous
Every time I asked for an extra outlet or can light there was an extra charge. I don’t like the fact that the outlets are not totally hot, and some of the placement and lack there of is disappointing.
I was disappointed that the garage was not painted or the hall leading down to the basement. For a house that cost almost a million dollars, I would think those things would have been taken care of.

Available and quick close.

Everyone was very nice and helpful.

I have no comment.

Everyone through the buying process and warranty period were extremely kind and helpful especially since they knew I was a first time home buyer.

Depends how final repairs turn out.

Overall the process was good and Garman houses are nice. My only complaint is the lack of transparency mostly regarding the difference between a base house and what you see in a model home, in terms of both price and features, but also regarding local development and lot characteristics. The house has VERY low water pressure and I understand from the HOA that we were meant to be informed prior to purchasing the house but this was never mentioned. Some things I fully understand will be upgrades in the house, but others were surprising for a house of the price and overall quality of a Garman home. The most surprising was having to pay an upgrade to have fronts on kitchen and bathroom drawers that were not just nailed on. That is something that should definitely be included in a base price home.

Excellent structure quality and construction!!!

Poor service for repair issues

Garman was extremely professional every step of the way.

Anyone looking for a retirement home I would recommend this development.

Garman houses are unique and gives a warmth feeling when you enter any of them.

The quality of the home is not what I expected, so no I wouldn't recommend garmen home.

Looking at the lots (land) that are being built as spec houses by garman it's obvious that more effort is place on those homes then personally built homes.

I have the greatest respect for Garman Builders!

I have called them so many times about cracks in my kitchen and home, and no one has come to fix it. I have reported cracks in the walls, and I need someone to come and repair them. That would be great.
