Instead, we experienced disorganization, poor oversight, construction issues, and ongoing repairs that have cost us nearly $100,000 to address since moving in. > From the beginning, there was very little accountability from our project manager or subcontractors. The project management was so disorganized that our project manager would regularly call and text me asking for updates on the progress of the house. At one point, we were told construction was delayed because flooring had not arrived, despite the flooring sitting in our living room for weeks. > Communication was equally frustrating. Whenever we reached out to our project manager with questions or concerns, he rarely seemed to have time to talk and often made it feel as though we were inconveniencing him simply by asking for updates or requesting help. For a project of this magnitude, homeowners should never feel like they are a burden. > Subcontractor management was equally concerning. Drywall installers were smoking inside the home during construction. The siding crew was only staying a few hours per day, and I ultimately paid them cash out of my own pocket to encourage them to stay longer and help keep the project moving. > The problems did not stop after move-in. Since taking ownership, we have dealt with issue after issue that no homeowner should face in a newly built home: > Multiple leaking pipes causing water damage > Doors that do not close properly > Windows that leak during rain > Interior stairs that failed within the first three years and required replacement > Incorrectly installed patio ceiling requiring outside repair > Concrete driveway and patio sinking because pilings were not installed despite the soil report recommending them > Master shower drain and washing machine draining directly into the crawl space because they were never properly connected > Over $10,000 in HVAC repairs > Repeated master shower leaks requiring multiple repairs > Body jet in the master shower failing within the first month after move-in > The list honestly continues beyond this. > Because of the extent of the problems, we have hired outside contractors, specialists, and engineers to evaluate and repair many of these issues. Multiple professionals have commented on the low-quality materials used throughout the home. In several cases, contractors uncovering and repairing defects found installations and workmanship issues so surprising that they literally stopped to point them out because they could not believe what they were seeing. Hearing experienced tradespeople react that way to a relatively new home has been incredibly discouraging. **★★★★★ — Jayme Parker, Dec. 2020** > My husband and I were very nervous and excited to build our home we plan to be forever and met with a few builders before we chose Renewal. I had a vision of what I wanted and my husband had a budget he wanted to stick with. Wendell spent months with us tweaking our blueprint trying to get all my wants while being cautious about budget. He took time to get to know us and not just what we wanted in a house but why that is what would work for our family. The whole process was smooth and actually went so fast once we broke ground. We could not be happier with the project from start to finish! There were no surprises in the end and we never felt overwhelmed with anything because they keep it all organized. Wendell is very honest and we felt each person he had in our home working did a great job for us and shared the overall integrity of Renewal Homes. We still have some basement to finish and some added projects and wouldn’t have anyone but Renewal complete these! **★★★★★ — Justin Kashman, Feb. 2020** > My wife and I enjoyed working with Renewal Homes on our new home build. We were told many cautionary tales about building homes, but with Renewal, the process was easy and exciting. Renewal was helpful, knowledgeable, fair, and everything was completed on time. If we ever build again, we know who we are calling! **★★★★★ — Kelsey Heckaman, Feb. 2020** > We chose Renewal to build our forever home last year and we are so thrilled that we went with them. Wendell and his team are so meticulous and detailed throughout the entire process. They go above and beyond to make sure every square inch of your home is perfect. They are honest, caring and a joy to work with. We are still amazed at the quality of the work they did. If we were to build again we would hands down choose Renewal. I don’t have enough good things to say about this business and the quality of their work! **★★★★★ — Jennifer, Nov. 2017** > There is a reason why Renewal homes consistently wins the Parade of Homes nearly every year: they produce lovely homes and are always available. > We're not planning on building any time soon but we'd recommend Renewal to anyone. **★★★★★ — Ted Zolman, June 2017** > If you are looking for a quality, custom built home, be sure to check out Renewal Homes. They work with you all the way throughout each detail of the process to ensure your goals are met and you are one hundred percent satisfied. Renewal Homes provided us a home that far exceeded our expectations! **★★★★★ — Kevin Escapule, June 2017** > We chose Renewal to build our dream home in the country and it was an excellent experience. They were great from start to finish and the contractors they use were so professional and great at what they do. We have been in the house for 9 months and are so happy with our choice to use Renewal. This was the fourth house we have had built over the years and this was by far the best experience. **★★★★★ — Taylor Seward, May 2017** > We have built two homes with Wendell Miller and Renewal Homes. That, obviously, says a lot as we would not have been a repeat customer without being totally satisfied. Wendell focuses on your needs, is flexible to make changes throughout the process, is very honest, has very qualified sub contractors, runs his construction on time and on budget...all the while making it an enjoyable process for buyers. He is just a solid guy who produces a quality product! **★★★★★ — DENNIS CLEMENS, May 2017** > Renewal homes gave us advice on our lot and positioning the home on the lot. They worked with our drawings and ideas in construction. Each person who we dealt with was courteous, informative and friendly. We are pleased with all aspects of our finished product. **★★★★★ — s\_bradford97, April 2017** > Renewal homes is a top notch company, we worked hard before we built, to get all of details in place, they was with us all the way through the process, if we had something we wasnt happy with, they changed it to our likes, i would recommend renewal homes to be your home builder, **★★★★★ — Marvin Ramer, April 2017** > Renewal Homes Was the General Contractor on our house and they were very professional from the beginning design ideas till we Moved in ! ## Selected projects - [Tippy Lake Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/tippy-lake-home-pj-vj~7808358) - Location: Leesburg, IN - Photos: 6 - [Hoskins Haven](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/hoskins-haven-pj-vj~2302276) - Location: Warsaw, IN - Photos: 14 - [Classic Farmhouse](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/classic-farmhouse-pj-vj~2553370) - Location: Warsaw, IN - Photos: 24 - [Price](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/price-pj-vj~2305403) - Location: Warsaw, IN - Photos: 18 - [Hilltop](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/hilltop-pj-vj~2527462) - Location: Warsaw, IN - Photos: 14 - [Shepherd](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/shepherd-pj-vj~2445710) - Location: Warsaw, IN - Photos: 21 - [Lakeside](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lakeside-pj-vj~2305249) - Location: Warsaw, IN - Photos: 19 - [Bradford](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bradford-pj-vj~2305349) - Location: Warsaw, IN - Photos: 13 - [The Trailside](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/the-trailside-pj-vj~2302261) - Location: Warsaw, IN - Photos: 11 - [Modern Farmhouse](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-farmhouse-pj-vj~2751072) - Location: Warsaw, IN - Photos: 49 - [Stately](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/stately-pj-vj~6547719) - Location: Warsaw, IN - Photos: 18 - [Modest Craftsman Style Ranch](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modest-craftsman-style-ranch-pj-vj~6125127) - Location: Warsaw, IN - Photos: 13 - [Chapman Barndominium](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/chapman-barndominium-pj-vj~7880850) - Location: Warsaw, IN - Photos: 6 - [Chapman Lake Hill](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/chapman-lake-hill-pj-vj~7844781) - Location: Warsaw, IN - Photos: 6 - [Etna Green View](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/etna-green-view-pj-vj~7844769) - Location: Etna Green, IN - Photos: 8 - [2024 Parade House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/2024-parade-house-pj-vj~7844736) - Location: Winona Lake, IN - Photos: 21 [See all 16 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/home-builders/renewal-homes-llc-pfvwus-pf~2014447155) ## Video - [Company video](https://player.vimeo.com/external/1177415345.m3u8?s=9be2f578d289ec29a98e43a8d53fbdba066a0d9b&oauth2_token_id=1384357804) ## Frequently Asked Questions **Do you handle permitting and inspections for new home construction?** Yes, as a design/build company, we handle the entire building process from start to finish.
