TRINITY HOMES

THERE WERE NUMEROUS PROBLEMS, INCLUDING THE MORTAR FALLING OUT, DAMPNESS ALONG THE WALLS, A LACK OF RESPONSIVENESS IN SEVERAL SITUATIONS, AND A LONG LIST OF OTHER PROBLEMS.

THEY INSTALLED INSULATION AND DRYWALL BEFORE THE ROOF WAS FINISHED. WATER FLOODED INTO THE WALLS ON THE FIRST AND SECOND FLOOR WHERE THE ROOFING WAS MISSING. THEY DID FIX THIS PROBLEM, BUT THEY FAILED TO STOP CONSTRUCTION BEFORE THE DAMAGE HAD BEEN DONE. OUR CONSTRUCTION MANAGER, ED VEIRS, SAID THAT THEY WOULD NOT STOP THE CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE FOR ANYTHING. THEN, TWO OR THREE DAYS BEFORE CLOSING, WE DISCOVERED THAT COLD WAS HOT AND HOT WAS COLD IN ONE OF OUR BATHROOMS. HOT WATER IN THE TOILET WOULD HAVE MELTED THE WAX RING AND CAUSED A WATER LEAK FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE TOILET. THEY FIXED THIS, TOO, BUT WHY DID IT HAPPEN IN THE FIRST PLACE? NOW, I AM NOTICING THINGS LIKE CROOKED HEATING AND COOLING VENTS IN THE CEILING AND OTHER MINOR IMPERFECTIONS. AT LEAST I HAVEN T NOTICED ANYTHING MAJOR SINCE WE MOVED IN ON JULY 17, 2003.

BE AWARE THAT THE SALESPEOPLE ARE DEFINITELY OUT TO GET YOU SIGNED. OURS DID A STANDARD ''HAVE TO ACT NOW'' DEAL ON US. IT RUSHED ME AND MADE ME FEEL LIKE A NUMBER, JUST BEWARE

THE INSTALLATION WORK PERFORMED IS INCORRECT BECAUSE ONLY ONE SPEAKER CABLE WAS RUN TO ALL THREE ROOMS INSTEAD OF THREE INDIVIDUAL RUNS WHICH RESULTS IN SERIOUS DEGRADATION OF COMMUNICATION'S LEVELS AND POTENTIAL DAMAGE TO THE SOUND SYSTEM RECEIVER.

MADE NUMEROUS MISTAKES AND REFUSED TO CORRECT THEM. ORIGINALLY WANTED A CRAWLSPACE AND THEY TALKED US OUT OF IT AND TOLD US A SLAB FOUNDATION WOULD BE BETTER. THE FIELD INSTRUCTIONS WEREN'T APPROVED BECAUSE THE COVENANTS REQUIRED EITHER A CRAWL SPACE OR BASEMENT. WANTED RIDGE VENTS AND TALKED US OUT OF IT, FOUND OUT THAT OTHER HOMES IN AREA HAD RIDGE VENTS IN ROOF. MADE A MISTAKE ON OUR FLOORING CHOICE AND WOULDN'T TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT. THREE CONSTRUCTION MISTAKES WERE MADE AND THEY WOULDN'T FIX.

WHEN OUR HOME WAS BUILT THEY LAID SUMP PUMP DIRECTLY ON GROUND. THEY LEFT IT LAYING IN THE YARD AND KILLED OUR SOD. THEY HAVE BEEN ASKED TO FIX IT AND THEY REFUSED.
