Report
We recently built a home with the group and although we like our house it was certainly a nightmare process. There was constant miscommunication and it was the most disorganized experience Ive ever had. If you have the time to manage these guys through the build process then the house is nice, we ended up driving out to the house once a week just to make sure everything was right. Even after moving in there are several things that have been left unaddressed (like the wrong lighting that they installed) and we continue to experience problems. Again, if you have the time to deal with them then
