I just want to congratulate you and hiring one of the best superintendent on your roll call. Philip is amazing always gets stuff done on time always goes above and beyond what is expected for the buyers. Boy does this guy know his stuff on houses. Do not let this gem get away.

I recently Bought a house from Dryden Inc. The house itself looks great, but our problem lies with the unresponsive superintendent Brian, and the horrible staff at their office. Our yard floods constantly, we have punch items that arent being completed. Tons of construction debris under our sod; nails, pieces of wood, trash litter our front and back yard. The worst of it all is we cant get a decent response from anyone at Dryden.

House is pretty but everything Dryden builders do is RUSHED. The electricty cuts off in the main rooms, living room and dining. I don't even have alot of thing plugged in either. Why have a house if it's not working properly? They tell us it's because we don't have surge protectors but even with that, it's still shutting off. Walk through was horrible. So many things rushed and not functioning. They never came to fix my uneven fridge. Don't buy unless you want a rushed house. They don't come fix things when they say they will and would say it's "completed" but it was never fixed. Never met anyone

We bought our first home through Dryden. They were late on closing for the house and upon closing there was a wall sized square cut out hole that had been hastily patched and looked awful. They also did not clean anything! My mirrors were dusty and had a greasy film. The sod was dry and dead upon install and was told it would come back and isnt covered and never came in so I had to argue for 6 months to get it fixed. I had my final walk through repair list that was incomplete and never came back. Save yourself!

I had some issues with grass growing in my backyard. I reached out to Phillip and he responded quickly to assist me. He made some phone calls the same day and a landscaper contacted me the next day to schedule a time for them to come out and repair my yard. This was done within 2 business days. I spoke to the landscaper on Thursday and services were complete on Monday. Thanks a lot Phillip!
