ADAIR HOME BUILDERS

HORRIBLY!  In the end this project did not work out at all and the $2700 I spent was wasted.  If you are working with Adair I would recommend finding out if they've built in your area before you let them convince you that their homes always appraise for more than they are built for.  Mine appraised for much less than it was to be built for, meaning my down payment would have been almost $100k.
In general, their service was terrible, they were late on every deliverable and in the end when the appraisal didn't come through they dropped me like I never existed.  I wouldn't recommend them to my worst enemy.

Adair's roofing was questionable by all roofers inspecting the garage roof since Jan. 2008, but no inspections have ever been done by ADAIR Homes. Tom did not address our problem with the roofing stating that it appeared to be built properly and accepted the additional work proposed by others costing us an additional $2,500.00 At Tom's written recommendation, added venting through one of the roof vents and an industrial strength dehumidifier was added in our garage. We had a totally sealed, vented, electronic dehumidifier garage greenhouse installed in '07. Strangely, Tom blamed a perfectly dry and sealed garage greenhouse to be the total problem. Apparently, no ADAIR Home can have a professionally built indoor greenhouse in it; regardless of hiring the best licensed and bonded contractors to build it. This is problematic in that all other builders will approve indoor greenhouses when built properly by engineered licensed bonded builders. Tom refused to acknowledge the moisture coming from under the garage cement floor, wetting all stored materials as there was no cement underlayment in place. Tom's letter commended me for taking additional steps to rectify the situation at my cost and insured the validity of our warranty. Tom came to our home at a later time and viewed and approved all work done, but denied Adair responsibilities once again for Adair's carpenter installing most screws into the support hardware into drywall rather than the wood studs allowing the entire railing to collapse with the slightest pressure. Adair would not take responsibility though easily collapsed railings for we seniors can mean death. Even though we treated the OSB board with bleach in 2008 removing all mold etc. and installed recommendations, the water is still being introduced along the roofline in the garage and home. All structures under the roof continue to be wet and moldy but much worse than last year. I called again and told them that the roof was still leaking (exuding lots of moisture). Adair came out and wrote very fraudulent reports. They assumed we had a crack in the concrete, that I had a gas heater, and denied pertinent pages of all current licensed/bonded roofing and mold contractors. Adair disputes all licensed bonded businesses that clearly told Adair there is a problem. Adair uses the cheapest products available assuming they have no liability. Adair fraudulently writes documents when a homeowner questions them denying the right for the homeowner to check source of documents. The owner came up with thousands dollars of repairs because this company refuses to recognize their warranty. Because of their fraudulent observations, they have taken the warranty away. They are threatening to put me into mediation with their mediator if I sue, which I would have to pay $7,000 for as there is no owner input allowed in choosing a mediator. I consulted many (2009)licensed and bonded roofers, mold experts and they all agreed that Adair built a home guaranteed to create moisture problems in roofing and foundation, proper venting design, roofing materials guaranteed to leak; Adair accepts no responsibility, costing the homeowner thousands of dollars. Other home owner reports concur with mine. One needs only to research on-line complaints which Adair verified as true complaints. ADAIR consistently lies to the homeowner as evident in their response-all necessary reports were given to ADAIR by the homeowner. Owner response to company: There are many unhappy ADAIR Home owners?one needs to just surf the net. ADAIR clouds their response by inferring that ?Homeowners? approve, but who is ?Homeowners? ie. an organization or just ADAIR?s idea of how to hide behind the truth? ADAIR HOMES never has honored my warranties and insists on misleading ?talking points? instead. Their contract states ?Neither party (especially NOT the homeowner) may initiate, maintain, appear or participate in any court or legal proceeding...? and ?Any request by the Owner for mediation...personally delivered to....CAS (ADAIR?s chosen mediator, NOT an owner?s mediator)...with a copy of the request and payment of Owner?s..arbitration fees ($7,000)sent to CAS...? Again. Angie?s list is not a legally binding arbitrator as ADAIR alleges and refuses to utilize. Now, can you see why ADAIR Homeowners are threatened to NOT SPEAK OUT? ADAIR insures that their warranty is invalid.
