"Preston of G-1 Plumbing performed the services and addressed the toilet & drain problem. He was unable to stop leak(made it worse) & submitted his recs to Choice Home for review. I was unable to understand Choice Home's response regarding the faucet leak. Their review stated faucet needed to be replaced BUT it was under "builder's warranty." I built this home in 2005. There is no "builder's warranty" now. I cancelled the proposed work order & paid out-of-pocket. A Friend, who was familiar with my builder and knows faucet components, came to my home, adjusted/cleaned the faucet cartridge and stopped the leak. The CHW tech, Preston, is conscientiuos, however, IMHO lacked the knowledge & experience to stop my leak. Home Warranty Companies, at least in my area, hire owner/operators who need the work to build their business and are NOT the most experienced/knowledgeable & are willing to work for less money. In my experience, Home Warranty Companies want the CHEAPEST resolution, not the BEST. I would recommend G-1 Plumbing for most plumbing issues."

"We got off to a rough start. He said he’d meet me but then sent his girlfriend on several occasions. She was nice and helpful, but I was expecting to meet up with Larry. I finally bought all materials and roofing myself, to avoid hassles. Larry met me with his trailer at the home improvement store, and again at the roofing store. I paid him for labor only, upon completion....in the amount of $3,000. This was for replacing a section of exterior wall, replacing a small section of sub-flooring with plywood, painting the exterior of the building, 16x20, painting the door, and putting on a new roof. An old deck was taken apart and put back on, as well. I’m pleased with the roof and painting of the exterior walls and door. He had to come back and replace a section of wood. He wanted to use wood putty but it was a large area and needed to be replaced with wood, so he replaced it with wood as I requested, and I will soon paint it myself. The deck could look better but since old wood was used, maybe it will look better after I paint it. Using old wood was my choice to save money since the wood was still good. Larry did help me to save money on this storage building. The problems that occurred weren’t so much due to the quality of work, as they were about several other issues and follow through: 1. Being on job site on the days promised, 2. Meeting me when he promised, instead of sending someone else after knowing I was on my way. I’m an hour away. 3. Not being tactful to me or showing professionalism to me as his customer (his bread and butter). Businesses teach the customer is always right. He threw a receipt at me that I didn’t need...and spoke down to me harshly. His texts have been very ugly many times. 4. Serious cursing...MF...and often, every few words, I was told. 5.My neighbor was not happy with some issues that occurred on his property during this time, but Larry says he isn’t responsible and doesn’t know if his workers are responsible or not as Larry wasn’t always there. Larry does not want to do anymore work for me and said he put up dealing with my **** for months and for me not to call him anymore. Therefore, I will not call him anymore. I’m a patient person and hoped to find a handyman I could call on through the years for various projects, but I haven’t found him yet. I found Larry through Home Advisor which is a name I have used and I trust, but he is no longer with them. Larry thinks I don’t like the job they did, but the repair is fine, the painting is fine, the roof looks fine I think, though the wood that hangs over on the corners may have needed replacing...I’m an older woman and don’t know about these things, and the deck isn’t pretty but seems to be sturdy...made from older wood I had."

"The contracted the work off to a third party. Jon took longer than expected. The windows was installed pretty good from the looks. Communication could have been better with knowing the job will take longer and what types of trims I wanted for the windows. As the contractor that was hired for this job by this company. Did a good job with putting up decent trim. As for the new windows they look great. I purchased the myself and hired sentri homes to install them. I will need to have a my siding on my house redone to be closer to the new windows so the gaps are not so obvious. That was not expected at first. But from old storm windows and not knowing how they were put in originally. There was some unknown things that was learned from the job being completed. I will have the siding of the house slightly done to match really good for what I wanted later on. My only concern is better communication with sentri homes. Overall they were great when I did talk to them."

Home Building FAQs, answered by experts

Safety is critical during home building in Clanton. You must secure the perimeter and elevate materials to protect children and pets from venomous snakes and fire ants common in AL. Manage standing water to prevent mosquito breeding. Since local red clay becomes extremely slippery when wet, install secure walkways. Consider adding a storm shelter for severe weather protection, and always install secure fencing around the completed property.

Helpful?

Assess your lot's soil and slope to determine if it is a good candidate for home building. Properties in Clanton with steep grades or heavy red clay require engineered foundations and retaining walls. You must check flood zone maps and confirm zoning compatibility. Lots with existing municipal water and sewer connections are excellent candidates. For older AL properties, test for hazardous materials and inspect the foundation for uneven settlement.

Helpful?

Before starting home building in Clanton, secure all necessary permits for construction, electrical, plumbing, and septic systems. You must obtain a soil boring report to assess the local red clay, which requires specific foundation designs. Check flood zone maps and plan your site grading to handle heavy AL rainfall. Schedule your foundation work to avoid the peak spring storm season and extreme summer heat to prevent costly weather delays.

Helpful?

When planning home building in Clanton, focus on climate-responsive designs. You should incorporate covered porches, deep roof overhangs, and screened outdoor spaces to manage the hot, humid summers and frequent insects. Metal roofing is highly recommended to withstand severe AL thunderstorms. Traditional Southern and craftsman styles remain popular, alongside practical additions like storm shelters, large mudrooms, and whole-house generators to handle occasional power outages.

Helpful?

Local inspectors closely evaluate your foundation and soil conditions during home building in Clanton. They verify footing depths, moisture barriers, and drainage systems due to the expansive clay soil. Framing inspections focus heavily on wind resistance, requiring proper storm connectors to withstand severe AL weather. Certified specialists will also scrutinize your septic system layout, duct sealing, and rough-in work for all electrical and plumbing systems before walls are closed.
