Oliver Homes, Inc.

Terrible communication every step forward has been us calling the salesman. After finally getting them to do the site visit almost 3 weeks went by before we called to find out what was going on with getting a final price and we’re told to come in that Friday and they would have the house drawings and price together we arrived on Friday they forgot we were even coming in and didn’t have pricing together. After 2 hours sitting in their office with them putting the changes to the drawing we had told them about from the beginning they needed to price that. After sending an email asking when we could expect final numbers 3 weeks have went and haven’t even got a response. We started with Oliver at the beginning of of July and it is now October still no numbers

In our opinion, We advise you to explore other custom home builders. When we selected and hired Oliver Homes to build our custom home we thought we were selecting a true quality custom home builder. Unfortunately, this was not our experience. The quality of workmanship, project management, communication, over site over in house employees and sub contractors were significantly lacking. The scope and number of issues we experienced pre and post construction are completely unacceptable. We can not and do not recommend Oliver Homes as a custom builder.

Subpar at best. We would not let them build a dog house for our dogs! There is no supervision or quality control. The exterior paint looks like a kindergartner painted it, there is concrete splashed everywhere on the house and on every basement post, forgot to insulate behind the fireplace, been back 4 times to fix the gutters that still leak at the seams, level or plumb is random, drywall mud splashed everywhere in basement stairway and garage floor (was told it's unfinished space we are doing nothing), concrete work is shoddy, every door was dinged before we moved in and so much more... At 13 months the powered room faucet needs replaced, the kitchen sink drain pipe came apart and flooded and the vinyl floor seams age coming apart. Not very impressed, after a year was up the response we got was to just file and insurance claim. They take no responsibility for their work and know even less. It's a shame when you need to take a legal action to correct the negligent items. It sucks to have a house you hate!!

Oliver homes has been great to work with, they broke ground in a snowy February and we settled in the July. They met their deadlines and we're open to discussions along the way about the floor plan and changes we wanted to make. We've been in the house ~6montha now and are very happy with the quality of heir work and responsiveness as things arise.

I have never had a home built before, but I was very happy with this builder. I am a pretty demanding customer. I can't help it. It's just the way that I am. I warned them upfront that I am afflicted with a bad case of "change-order-itus" But they were very patient with me (and charged me accordintly), professional, and very responsive to my requests for information. I was very involved with the decision making process and had a home in their portfolio custom designed to our needs. I would find ideas on Houzz that I liked and would send them the links to the pictures describing what I wanted to do. I liked that they put the prices of their models online and are creative with financing. They have been around for a long time, and rightfully so. They did not dissappear after closing and conitnued to answer any questions that I had about the building process. If I had to do it over again, I would definately hire them. Not so certain they would choose to work with ME though...... :)
