FRENCH HOMES LLC

1.0 out 5 stars "DO NOT use this builder. If you want a quality built home you will not get if French Homes builds it. We know they built ours. Interior fit and finish is sub par. Cement work is sloppy. Watered down stain and paint was used on the interior and exterior. Stain was slopped on the cement when the porch wood and the rails going to the garage was stained. I asked Don to clean up the stain. He refused. Twenty five feet of ridge vent shingles where left off the roof. Plain shingles were stapled on where the ridge vent shingles were supposed to go. The stain on the front porch started peeling off after about nine months. I had to re-stain the entire porch. Before doing that I had to fill in about 200 screw holes that were left unfinished. The original stain came off with a wire brush. Quality stain would have soaked into the wood and would not have come off using a wire brush. Some of the non supporting joints are not joints. There are big gaps in them with nails showing in the gap. The interior stairs and the floor on the second level squeek. Most of the electrical outlets upstairs and several downstairs blow the fuse in the garage when the vacumn cleaner is plugged in and turned on. The bathtub upstairs was not leveled when installed. The caulking around the tub is wider at the rear of the tub than at the front. The caulking was very poorly applied to the tub. The tub not being level causes water to puddle at the back of the tub. This has made the caulking at the back of the tub to mold leaving it almost black. Cleaning with bleach, vinegar, and several other types of cleaner has no effect on getting rid of the stain. Don was made aware of the problem and he told us to cut a hole in the closet wall and put wood under the tub to prop it up and make it level. I didn't install the tub. His workers didn't level it when it was installed. French Homes should fix it. We had an issue with the grout around the the bottom of the walls when the tile floor was put down. The grout was cracking from day one. We wanted to get it redone right away but Cher told us to wait about 6 to 8 months because there might be other issues and all of them could be taken care of at the same time. We waited. Big mistake. Don brought over Jim the owner of Webco. They installed the floor tile and the carpet. Jim and Don walked in the front door and Jim started going on how the grout being cracked was not his fault. He was rude, arrogant and condescending. He argued with us the whole time he was here. He ended up blaming my wife and I for the cracked grout. We had never met a miserable excuse for a business man and a human being as Jim owner of Webco. Webco did nothing to rectify the problem. During the whole time this was going on Don stood there and said absolutely nothing. Don let this man insult and berate his customer. He should have stood up for his customer. After all he hired Webco. The door upstairs that goes to the attic will not stay latched. There are 10 holes in the "
