During 4 months I have leaking shower, flooded garage, loosened burned electric wires, cracked tiles because of cracked foundation. Nothing has been done to repair shower or flooding problem. I have installed gutters at my expenses to stop garage flooding but it’s not enough as there is a construction problem with garage floor and driveway. The builder told me that it’s normal for garage to flood during rain, but it was not my plan to buy flooding garage. After repeated flooding, there will be mold eventually. I had cracked tile in the laundry room and after builder removed tile, there was huge crack in foundation which caused tile to crack. Time will tell what will happen next…

Likes & Dislikes

Likes & Dislikes - I like the floor plan. I like big windows which brings a lot of light. I like the kitchen, laundry room, entrance. I wish to have a bathtub and walk-in shower in the master bedroom’s bathroom and towels hangers for big towels. I wish the guest bathroom had shelves for shampoo and etc. I wish the entryway was a little wider as delivery guys scratched the door frame during delivery of the fridge, I have to repair it now. I wish the filters were installed in the reachable area as they are on the ceiling. Regardless, I love my house, it is comfortable and beautiful.

We feel blessed to have our home built by McCaleb homes. They have a fabulous plan. This plan helps their customers feel comfortable with building their new home. We have been guided each step of the way. We are indeed thankful.

A number of homes have been started long after ours and have been completed, closed, and new owners are living in them, while ours is still not completed. Our house is the smallest house among McCaleb’s plans for our neighborhood. I would not disparage McCaleb Homes, but neither have I recommended them to others. We have spoken with various neighbors, and they are well aware (and puzzled) regarding

Additional Comments

Additional Comments - Very excited to live in a McCaleb Home.

The quality of the home, the personal attention we received and the communication between the McCaleb team and my wife and I throughout a tumultuous market year was excellent. We love our new home!

Sales Knowledge

Sales Knowledge - Khai has been amazing throughout this process. He was very helpful in the beginning and put up with our questions and requests. He did not overpromise a single time.

Likes & Dislikes

Likes & Dislikes - The home is beautiful, we are still pinching ourselves! I honestly can't think of anything I dislike about the home! It's already worth thousands more than it was when we started this process.

Easier Than Expected

Easier Than Expected - Khai Berry and Ryan Hardy made the experience so easy! They are fantastic and McCaleb Homes is lucky to have them!

Recognized Excellence

Recognized Excellence - Khai Berry and Ryan Hardy!

High quality home builder creating very attractive neighborhoods. Thoughtful designs.

Construction Quality

Construction Quality - We made some minor changes to the floorplan before construction began. Plans were redrawn, exactly as we had requested, and when we have been able to make site visits, we've been very pleased with what we've seen. We've walked through at least a dozen other McCaleb homes at various stages of construction and are always pleased with what we see.

Problem Resolution

Problem Resolution - Ryan Hardy has been our project supervisor throughout most of our build. He has been available, easy to access, and is a good communicator of where we stand in the build. He's being shifted over within McCaleb to another neighborhood they are building, so we will be assigned Ty Higgins at our upcoming "trim walk". Every construction project will have its hiccups, but Ryan has calmly guided us through each resolution. Ty comes with a good reputation and background, so we are looking forward to working with him too.

Understand Building Process

Understand Building Process - Ryan Hardy has been very helpful.

Selections Process

Selections Process - Terri and Matti are very talented. Also, having dedicated contact people at the lighting firm, the cabinet builder, and the window covering firm has been very helpful

Easier Than Expected

Easier Than Expected - Because of the timing of our build (2021 and 2022), there have been many delays and supply chain issues, unrelated to the normal McCaleb Home process. From where we stand, I believe McCaleb has navigated all this well. I think if we were to be buying this home contingent on the sale of another one, it could be quite gut wrenching just simply because of supply chain issues!

Communication

Communication - Kailey was fabulous with communication,even from the delivery room!

We started looking at downsizing about 6 months ago, we stumbled across one of their communities and fell in love. We were so impressed with their process and their family friendly approach. We jumped on it and bought a lot. We have custom built many homes and this by far was the best experience for us.

Improvement Suggestion

Improvement Suggestion - More 3 way light switches in the main bedroom and bathroom. Take more time in the initial meeting to discuss possible upgrades customers might be interested in.

Recognized Excellence

Recognized Excellence - Taylor came into our project halfway through after some personnel turnover. He jumped in and was exceptional. He has been pulled in multiple directions over the past several months but always kept us up to date, kept the build on schedule and always kept a wonderful friendly demeanor. He is a real asset to an already first class operation.

Covid was an issue, there was a lot of miscommunication, and the timeline agreed upon was not met, there were some issues in my house in regards of being delayed, we closed and they are still doing some work in my house. the quality and time weren't matched to my expectations.

Caleb and his team were wonderful to work with in every aspect of the process.

Schedule

Schedule - Everyone worked as hard as they could to stick to the original schedule which is extremely difficult to do at this time.

Additional Comments

Additional Comments - Kailey, Taylor and Ford have been wonderful. Any questions we have had, kailey has answered promptly and accurately. Taylor and Ford were great during the Pre con meeting and answered thoroughly any questions we had. I’ve worked for other builders in the past, and now I work with many builders now that I am with Star and see their processes and build quality daily, so there is a reason we chose McCaleb for our build above anyone else. Working with Justin, Lance, Taylor, Ford and Terri has been a great experience.

Additional Comments

Additional Comments - We love our house and the community. They did a good job and we are very happy.

From the moment we walked into the model and met with Kailey, we felt like we were home. We had toured several other new home communities, but this particular community of Town Square just felt "right" for us. Not only did Kailey spend time answering all of my initial questions while we were there (we were on a limited time schedule due to needing to leave to catch a flight back to California), but she was quick to respond to all my emails and texts for the next 3 weeks after we met, until we decided to put down a deposit on the lot we wanted. I know I was a thorn in her side with all of my questions, but she was always quick to respond and was friendly and personable and made me feel like we were part of their extended family. Aside from the wonderful service, McCaleb homes offers high quality homes with many included features as part of their standard package that many other communities would up-charge for. They also work with you to customize many of their finishes as well. This has truly been a wonderful experience and we can't wait to move into our new home!

I love my new home and neighborhood! There are so many amenities that are included! A great place to live!

Recognized Excellence - Lance Baisden was great to work with and always quick to respond to any questions we had.

No proactive communication.

Our situation wasn't ideal since we are out of state. We have visited the community a few times, been through models and attended the parade of home last year. We've studied floorplans and elevations online. We've communicated with the online marketing staff throughout. Due to an increase in lot sales and an upcoming price increase we decided to work through the process of executing a construction contract via Zoom and phone with the sales person. It's amazing that's even possible! It was challenging with Q&A and discussions along the way but with the sales person's help, we finalized the contract in time.

We had an excellent experience with McCaleb Homes from the selection of the lot to closing. We were really impressed with the materials and attention to detail. We highly recommend them to any of our friends.

Thus far

Communication

Communication - Darcy was easy to talk to, easy to schedule with, and clear about his availability, etc.

Professional & Organized

Professional & Organized - I especially appreciated receiving calendar invites for appointments, etc.

Understand Process

Understand Process - I appreciated the opportunity to view almost all costs/choices that will be associated with the process. This front loading of mental labor was helpful for me. I also appreciated the list of meetings I will need to prepare for going forward. I don't enjoy the indeterminate waiting period before those meetings though, because it provides me with no real sense of when the next step is and how long I am looking at overall.

Communication

Communication - They go above and beyond to make sure everybody is on the same page. That is very important. Building a house can be very stressful and taunting. Communication solves that.

At the beginning they tell you how they like to communicate and that is great.
