Recognized Excellence - Everyone! Dade, Kayla and Alina have been wonderful to work with. All three have been very professional and helpful.

Not sure I’d say that is Kent’s fault, but perhaps creating more awareness of that up front would have been good.

Additional Comments

Additional Comments - Appreciate how everyone has been so helpful at Kent. You make building for those not local pretty easy.

Overall, our experience with Kent Homes was very positive. Being the first time we ever built a home, we were extremely nervous. But, after reviewing the process, we felt much more comfortable & learned a lot. Archie, our PM, was our lifeline to the build & was patient with all of our questions & concerns! If someone wants a quality home & a more stress-free experience, build with Kent Homes!

Clean & Safe

Clean & Safe - Archie is the best! He was on top of keeping the job site safe & cleaned up at all times.

Quality Of Workmanship

Quality Of Workmanship - We had a few minor issues, but they were addressed with no problem.

PM Professional & Organized

PM Professional & Organized - Again, Archie was on top of everything & was always very professional.

Communication

Communication - Archie was timely with his communication & very detailed.

PM Expertise

PM Expertise - We’ve never built a home before this one & Archie made us feel comfortable that he knew what he was doing. We certainly didn’t!

PM Problem Resolution

PM Problem Resolution - Our original floor was found to be defective by Archie just about a week or so before we moved in. He notified us right away & we were able to pick a new floor & it was installed before we moved in! There were other smaller issues that were addressed & resolved quickly.

Condition of Home

Condition of Home - Cleaners did an “ok” job of cleaning the house before we moved in. I did find lots of “construction dust” on all the surfaces that I cleaned up.

Orientation Punch List

Orientation Punch List - Archie compared our list to his & did a good job of addressing the items on the list.

Areas Of Satisfaction

Areas Of Satisfaction - The final “product” has exceeded our expectations. We love the house more than we thought we would! Your process is sound for a non-custom house (room to tweak!). Your numbered step by step guide made it easy to follow & understand where we were in the build at any given time. I’ve heard from MANY people having homes built by other builders that their process was a nightmare. We were over 500 miles away while our house was being built & maybe it was naive, but we weren’t really stressed at all!

Areas For Improvement

Areas For Improvement - - We were surprised by the extra cost to get the lot prepped. I think Kent should up that basic cost so it isn’t such a shock right off the bat. - Landscaping costs. Again, your basic cost that’s built into the contract is too low. Kent needs to review those costs & make sure they’re realistic. - Your selections process: too short. A day & a half is not enough time. And our house is small! And, we did our homework!! Minimum 2 days for a smaller house & some people may need three days. - The “book” given to us with options for selections was difficult to navigate & had lots of black & white, low res pics. We went on line to try & find better pics. Most of your links did not work. - The house plan. It would be best to construct a more immersive plan. 2D or even 3D. A flat black & white view on the computer screen was difficult to really tell what was going on when sitting with our selections rep & looking at it at home.

Recognized Excellence

Recognized Excellence - Carol Hobbs. So knowledgeable & helpful & responsive.

Additional Comments

Additional Comments - It’s a big step to move to a new state/town knowing no one. And, we aren’t very trusting people when it comes to major purposes &, honestly, hiring professionals without a personal recommendation. We did our research, that’s for sure. But, in the end, we made the leap hoping the experience would go well. It did!

Lead Source

Lead Source - They are one of the preferred builders for the area we wanted to build in. We heard about them from our realtor.

Areas For Improvement

Areas For Improvement - During the selection process, several times the selection consultant was kicked out if the system used to document the selections and our last 1-2 hours fo work was lost. This piece was frustrating as we had to go back during our review process to uncover items that were missing and undocumented from our selections.

Areas Of Satisfaction

Areas Of Satisfaction - Kent Homes delivered our home to us on time & without any major issues/concerns.

Areas For Improvement

Areas For Improvement - We are very happy with our Kent Homes Shelter Bay. Our selection’s appointment with Amy was an easy experience, until we saw the pricing of some of the upgrades we chose. Basic/included features and allowed amounts just aren’t adequate for the average “custom home” buyer. Examples, bathroom fixtures & lighting options…to choose fixtures to our liking/design style added a substantial amount to our bottom line. Landscaping allowance for our community is not in line with the mandatory requirements of our POA. We understand the building process, and economics of building, and overall we are very pleased with our new home. ZERO REGRETS about choosing Kent Homes as our builder.

Recognized Excellence

Recognized Excellence - Every person we worked with during our building experience was professional, fun, knowledgeable and experienced. Kate DaSilva was amazing & so helpful!! Amy McKay was great in assisting with our selection process, and then as Kate’s step-in when Kate went on maternity leave. Chris Moore was the perfect addition to complete our building team. Chris always had our back in the process!

Areas Of Satisfaction

Areas For Improvement

Areas For Improvement - From my experience, there is room for improvement in the design phase and completion of final plans. There were mistakes made in capturing my selections and it appeared that it was my responsibility to identify those errors/mistakes. The plans submitted to me for review were not aligned with my conversations during selections and there were several iterations that were sent to me that did not include changes I identified. I did not have confidence that what we discussed was captured and spent hours reviewing several versions of plans as they were updated. It would have been helpful if there had been more comprehensive review by Kent personnel to ensure that the plans were complete.
