RUN... *****Please read this before you move forward*****

Absolutely the worst experience I've had. Zero communication, terrible sub contractors, Zero follow up and follow through. Please contact me with questions, I have some very interesting information for you if you're considering letting these clowns build your house. Build started in January 2017 and still not done as of October 31, 2017. Complete mess, first builder quit, second got fired, third couldn't care less. Branch manager quit, office left without leadership for 3 months before position filled. Disorganized office staff, missed charges, added bogus charges to make up for their screw ups. Oh yeah, move in date pushed back another 6 weeks because the builder that got fired failed to mention that Duke needed to be contacted to move the power meter off the temporary pole onto the house. We understand that each build introduces it's own obstacles to overcome, but the way this process went off the rails is something else.

****Update - February 28th, 2018****

Well, it's been 4 months since we've moved in and what a mess...

I'll try to stay focused here but there is a lot of ground to cover...

The windows leak due to improper flashing. This has been a known issue for over a month and no progress on getting this resolved. Apparently they don't know how to properly flash their own windows that they install. So everytime it rains, guess what? standing water inside the window and frame and floor... What a freaking mess...

All of the interior door frames are all 1/2 inch out, so when you close the doors you can see the other room through the crack.... the fix is to take the casing out and shim the frames out... again, no progress on getting this resolved...

There is some siding that was ruined during construction that still hasn't been repaired. Sub has come out to look but no progress either.

The 'warranty' that offer is a joke at best and a nightmare in reality, trying to get the sub-contractors back out to fix their screw ups is next to impossible because they've moved on to the next project and couldn't care less.... Their warranty guy is a dumbass, he wants to come out and take a look at stuff that he's looked at several times before. Why not just do one site visit, then schedule the subs to come back out to fix it? Why does he have to come out and try this and then try that and waste time... I think he believes that by doubling his efforts he can make up for lack of know-how...

They seed their contractors from out of state, so you've got guys coming from South Carolina, Tennessee or the eastern part of North Carolina to do their work. I don't know why they don't use local subs as it would make things a lot easier as far as getting them to come back and fix or finish their work...

Schumacher is by far the worst builder in the area. They have a great front-end by getting you in and showing you what they can give you, blue prints, options, the whole nine yards. Where it falls apart is in the execution, it's like they don't know how to build what they sell. The communication is beyond non-existent and they have a high turn-over rate with their staff. The general manager brought in after Steve quit was Zachary, he lasted about 2 months and then he quit due to the fact that he was tired of getting yelled at by pissed off customers.

They're one of the least expensive builders in the area, but there's a reason for that... If you like poor service, shoddy workmanship and being upset all the time and considering litigation, then these are the guys for you. If you like getting what you pay for and expect the builder to deliver on what was agreed upon, then avoid these guys at all cost.

Feel free to email me at brian8677@***.com with any questions.

Unprofessional and rude

Years of waiting to build a home and my first experience was bad! Meet with Bob the new home sales consultant, Moorseville location not a good experience, I had lots of questions that were not answered.

All he wanted to do is do all the talking he did like me asking questions. His attitude was its my way or the highway, not flexible at all. The advertisement on internet has prices for each floor plan, but it doesn't tell you all the hidden charges like $35,000- $50,000 for prep fees, and 20% or more on up grades. They give you nothing, other companies have some standard upgrades in there prices.

So, that $200,000 house on the internet is over $300,000. They tell you they are transparent, if that was so they would tell you hidden charges on the website. Do your homework if you are looking to build, look for a company that cares about you, all they only care about making money off of you!

Like looking at land to see if the land is buildable $1500! Don't be fooled by there models, there are better builders out there.

Bob is one of the problems, Bob told us he would do the rework that we requested if we gave them yes on the survey, I told him to kiss my *** I would not recommend Schumacher homes to anyone.

Guest

Did the same to me, Bob is a very rude man, I couldn’t wait to get out of our meeting!

Guest

you right he did me the same way. I didn't know about the extra cost until I went out there for a second look with my family.

I was told about the extra cost from another sales person she was very nice. she even invite us to the next open house that they are haven this month.

Retirement Home-Nightmare

Schumacher Homes - Retirement Home-Nightmare

Schumacher Homes - Retirement Home-Nightmare - Image 3

When beginning our retirement process for a new home, we visited many locations of sample homes. We thought the quality of the model home would be our home.

Instead we get a home with problems from day one. First our concrete driveway cracking all the way, we are told they cracked and we drove a tractor on it, however we were in a different state. We had holes in the wall, paint issuesm doors not installed properly, kitchen cabinete molding falling down. Some of these were fixed with much prodding and pushing.

As days progress we keep fidning more issues. The siding was put on sloppy and not correct in some places. Nails in drain holes. After pleading for months someone came out and fixed some issues.

We went to do landscaping and found concrete buried from a mistake on where porch was to be. A light in master bedroom rusting. Screws missing on almost every door if there they are stripped. Today GM came to the house and told me the siding was not wrong and that is how they do it in this area.

I told him I saw three new houses that were not like that in this area that didn't represent that. I told him I had pictures and he responded he didn't build those houses. I got angry with his response of them not going to fix it. The people that they hire mostly do not speak English and some don't have correct working documentation.

When I signed with them I didn't expect the sloppy unprofessional and poor quailty work. That is when I lost it, I am human and it was my earnings and money for my dream home. I am sorry to GM, but after a year of lies and empty promises I am so frustrated. I spent alot of money on this home and expected way more than I got.

My dream house has become my nightmare. I have many pics to back up claims.

Why would you hire such a cheap company to build your dream home ? Schumacher is synonymous with cheap materials, subs and poor quality.

Guest

Do you find the problem is more with the trades Schumacher hired for your project or Schumacher itself. I was considering using them (here in the Triangle area - North Carolina) and know several people in the building industry that I would prefer to use as the trades on my project (if that is allowed).

If the trades were the issue I wonder if using my preferred companies would solve that issue.

I am interested in your opinion. I have only gone to an open house and haven't visited the Benson office yet.

I don't believe your partners would be allowed. They have a contract stating this.

No issue has not been resolved. Still looking for hardware and light fixed....Siding to our satisfaction and something about driveway.

Guest

So you got a well trained inspector? Just one?

And you didn't realize any of these problems before buying?

This seems like something that should be inspected prior.

Its not hard to turn on the water for 10 minutes and tell them you're making sure everything is fine. Especially if the water damage happened the first time it was used, this could have been prevented.

County inspector had to go through our house for all stages of build. So our assumption he was qualified.

And we did realize pages of things that we brought to their attention, but unfortunately there were so many more severe than these. And some of these were discovered and we have been asking continually to be fixed to our satisifaction. So in answer to your question or statement, we did!!

We did check water in all areas except that one was overlooked.

All others were fine and believe me and that rate we were finding things and telling the personal builder our disatifaction and him telling us it would be taken care of, very easy to miss that bathroom. Trust me

Guest

Is this the Schumacher Homes of NE Ohio ?

They are large and grand with offices that look like a mansion.

However, I remember them back in the 80's when Leroy Schumacher personally begged our small company for a renovation contract because their company was nearly kaput.

Looks like they've taken a different tact and would prefer to deal with the ordinary (read : gullible, trusting) homeowner instead of professional engineers such as ourselves ....

This company hires the worst subcontractors of all time. They are constructing a home at the end of the private road I live on, and they constantly leave trash, destroy the road, cut down trees on private property to move their equipment. Talking to a supervisor is like talking to a brick wall.

If they really were cutting trees on private property without permission you would be handling it legally, not posting a rant on a website. Sorry, don’t believe you.

I disagree. A legal solution isn’t always possible.

Same thing happened to me with DR Horton building on our lot next door. Knocked my fence down and cut trees on my property. Would not own up. It was only $350 of damage (they would have just planted new trees) so not worth the time and expense of going to court.

That’s what they were banking on. Why would this person get on here and waste time lying anyway??

Review Charleston SC location

we have had a long process to building our dream home. like others, was really easy in the beginning to close and pick out finishes. once the house became underway builder didn't want to talk to us about home, would be rude when we called and made us feel like a burden. just got a new contractor that is a lot more helpful. house is getting wrapped up now, and should be closing in the next few weeks. overall happy with home but process took a lot longer than expected, and staff could be more friendly and helpful after contracts are signed.

Schumacher Homes - Worst experience of my  - Image 2

Worst experience of my life. There was no communication throughout the process.

At closing they charged me an additional $15,000 for things that they gave me no notice of before and certainly had no consent for. They made changes to my house design without consulting me. The house was incomplete at move-in, and contained a number of hazardous items. We were told these items will be taken care of within a couple days, but at the very latest would be on the 14 day punchlist.

It has been three weeks, no one has been to work on our house, and these items remain incomplete and dangerous. The builder Stephen George is non-communicative, lazy, and will lie to your face. The house was also two months behind schedule. During construction, there were weeks and months on end where no one would be working on our house.

I have so many complaints I cannot even list them all here. With all the great builders in the Asheville area please do not support this company. You will regret it. I will say that Stacy and the office is fantastic.

But once you sign on with them she is no longer your contact. Here's a couple pics of my "finished" house 3 weeks AFTER move in.

I've been considering using Schumacher as my builder and spend time asking them questions while visiting their Akron, OH home models. I asked them about using other suppliers or 'trades' providers and they told me 'no, we've finely honed our system to a science and you'll need to work with our system to get the great value we provide."

Guest

So sorry for your issues, but unfortunately we understand. We still have issues that we need attention to but we are not getting any satisfaction because we are past the 12 month warranty period.

Hidden issues... still dealing with Punch list a year later!

Schumacher Homes - Hidden issues... still dealing with Punch list a year later!
Schumacher Homes - Hidden issues... still dealing with Punch list a year later! - Image 2

We signed the contract in March 2015. Construction didn't begin until around August finally, but then wasn't complete until May 2016.

We had a punch list of items to be fixed - including floor boards to be replaced that their sub damaged by "walking" our expensive Viking double oven across the hardwood floor from living room to kitchen! A solid 20+ feet of damaged dented floors. They actually tried to "repair" this by using paint and wood putty. I laughed and said try again.

All in all, I thought the rest of the punch items were fairly minimal. For instance, they ordered the wrong size kick plates for two vents so they sat gaping holes. Four months later, my husband loaded the dishwasher and headed to bed. Heard a weird noise and came back in to the kitchen to find the hose had broken loose and was now *** hot water onto the kitchen hardwood fast.

Got Boss Restoration here within 30 minutes to start drying. Entire kitchen and powder room floors had to be replaced. $550 electric bill that month. While Boss guys under the house, discovered 2 ax vents not attached - so 4 months of open holes in floor and air conditioning the crawl space.

Also discovered the powder room sink was never actually plumbed to anything so every time someone washed their hands in that sink for 4+ months drained to our crawl space. Repairs for these found issues were slow. Plumbing came quick enough, then hvac came. While here I asked why it was so hot in the master bath - vent cover never removed under cabinet, had to be cut out.

Floors finally replaced but Schumacher didn't come back to replace trim until late December after several complaints. And that work was done by a young guy "warranty manager". He's been the only person we've seen since then. Fast forward to our one year warranty review - where they repair nail pops and things.

We noticed our custom master shower keeps getting mildew in the edges, wasn't sealed and the front ledge appeared to need grout. Floor sub sent to take a look. His look of concern mirrored my assumption of something sinister going on in there. The ledge was swelling away from the frame.

He was reluctant to say anything more than that their company is a new sub for Schumacher and he didn't want to touch it until he reported what he was seeing bc he didn't want to assume responsibility. Same Warranty Manager guy shows up yesterday unannounced to "take a look at the supposed leak issue" and begins easily removing tile and scraping away the wet cement mud bed and soggy wood underneath. He does this in complete silence with me watching. So I say "huh, I'd say there's a leak.

And what's the plan?" He says they need to rip out the bottom few feet of tile and whole bottom and redo it. Could take up to 3 weeks. No one wants to claim responsibility for this" so I laugh and say "well I know who ISNT responsible and you need to get it done faster than 3 weeks." We've had multiple electrical issues, HVAC issues and now a few major plumbing issues. I'm honestly concerned on what I'll find next outside the warranty period.

We paid A LOT for our new home. As with other comments, they added a ton of "allowances" that we never saw come back nor saw pricing for actual. Was quoted $378k to build and would get a 10% incentive off so thought we'd be looking at $340-350k range. I paid out more than $400k all said and done and not even sure how or where.

Went thru 3 different foreman from start to finish. Design flaws as others have said and no common sense to correct them like the garage door opens right into the dryer in the laundry room. It's July. 14 months after we moved in and the punchlist is still incomplete, and the warranty issues worrying.

How did some of these actually pass inspection? There are months I'm in love with my house and months I worry there's more going on I can't see. That worries me.

While Schumacher built me a beautiful home, some of the work was clearly sloppy, expensive, and I hope I've seen the worst of it. Considering hiring an inspection on my own just in case.

The issue is with the subs they use, AND their unwillingness to accept full responsibility for problems and concerns that arise from said subs. My house was over 750k to build and we have lots of issues going on.

So, I have decided to fork over an additional $2k to get a home inspection done and engineer to look over the entire house from top to bottom BEFORE their BS 1 year warranty runs out. That gives me a nice legal document that my lawyer is seething to have. I RECOMMEND YOU ALL DO THE SAME.. then hold their feet to the fire and get rid of them completely.

I know one thing.. they will never build another house here in NC by the time I finish with them..

I guarantee that. Social media can be as much of a *** as Karma.

Sales people were very nice, designer was great, builder was really good guy, but the homes they build are terribel. The sub contractors are the cheapest they can find, door very poor work, and are very unprofessional. Materials are way below average compared to Bill Clark, Truss and other builders. I will not build with them again and wont recommend them either. They say custom builders but they didn't use my plan (my choice) and i wish i would have stood my ground on the build. Never again.

Horrible Horrible Attitudes from Management

Love the showroom and options and the quality of their construction. BUT during our pre construction meeting with the CAD person, Building Super, and General Manager at the Lewis Center location, the General Manager(Keith) appeared annoyed about even being there.

When we asked about the breakdown of the $1700 charge for some changes we made to floor plan, he could not explain in detail the charges and became very defensive and said It is what it is and that's it. You can go back to the original floor plan if you don't like it. When we continued to ask for the breakdown of the charges he became even more defensive and said well we can cancel it all together if you don't like it. Worst Customer Service we have EVER received by anyone.

We were building a $350K house with them and Keith (General Manager) let us walk out of the meeting as if he could care less about us building with them or not. All we wanted was a breakdown of a $1700 charge. And his response was "Do you know how many of these drawings I look at a day, I can't memorize every cost detail". The correct response would of been.

You know I don't have it on me now but let me get that for you and get back to you. This general manager should never be allowed to interact with customers in any aspect of the process. His attitude is just horrible. Way to make a customer who is willing to spend $350k with you, feel like just a number and not an individual.

I can't speak about other locations but I would recommend not dealing with this one. Sales staff were wonderful and the building super was great as well (very personal with us).

Looks like we will be building with someone else at this point and are willing to lose our $1000.00 contract price hold money, that's how much of a horrible experience this one meeting was. We are glad we experienced this now instead of in the middle of construction.

Schumacher Homes changed the whole elevation of home. They left 18 inches of extra foundation showing all around.

When i questioned them about it there response was they had to do it. No mention of it during preconstrution meetings and final plans we signed off on never showed the change. The district manager in Ravenna, OH was rude and unwilling to make it right. Also electric heat pump was hooked up wrong causing first electric bill to be $950.

Technician came and even stated it was drawing to much amperage and changed wires around.

2 months later still nothing done about reimbursement. So much for being an exciting time, building a new home!

The garage is designed to fit golf carts. The build schedule is a joke - there is no schedule.

As I was reading everyone's comments concerning Schumacher homes, a television commercial came on with a promotion till the end of May if you signed with them. Apparently a free outdoor living space would be done. I have never had a new home built, my current home was previously loved and owned.I hope something can be done for your reimbursement, short of threatening a lawsuit.Good luck.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

They are great when you are planning. They aren't so good with execution. They hire the cheapest sub contractors. And they must do so without any background checks. Subcontractors could not read blueprints.

Outlets and lights in kitchen not per print. Closet turned into cabinet because HVAC didn't want to put cold air return per print. (No, this wasn't approved by us)

Foyer not to print. Front door and foyer light do not align.

They left my house unfinished as we refused to pay for re-works. At the time they walked out, I had an exposed leach field because it was done improperly. Didn't finish our steps to bonus room.

Had our house reviewed by liscenced contractor. To correct all the things done poorly and/or to bring the house inline with blueprint would cost over $50K.

And three years later I find out they put a lien on our house. Didn't have to pay the lien but it cost us to have it legally removed.

And today we discovered that the cold water feed to the master shower must have been leaking since day one. Leaking between interior wall and shower stall. This week it went from a drip to a spray. Had to open a wall to find the leak. Unfortunately, not before tiles in bathroom and kitchen (oh yeah, it was flowing through walls and floors) began to lift. Kitchen cabinet is swelling and trim work in bathroom and kitchen will need to be replaced.

Is there any wonder why my hubby calls them "S**tmacher? No, it's accurate

On-going Nightmare

Our house deadline wasn't met. Even after extending the date by months, we arrived with the movers from another state, our house was literally under construction.

We ended up moving in with an unfinished house, construction debris (in and outside the house), construction dust, scaffolding. Our floors looked white (they are dark hardwood) there was so much dust. Here we are coming up on our one year move in date and we still have a list a mile long of things that haven't been completed or issues their contractors created when they came in to "fix" things. We have serious HVAC issues, dust blowing in through our vents, doors, windows, and outlets leaking cold air into our house.

Our electric bills have been astronomical. We have so many cosmetic issues I had to create an excel spreadsheet to keep up with all of them. We brought in our own inspector to ensure the safety of the house. He brought to light some issues.

The most concerning is that the diagonal support braces in the attic aren't high enough. We live on a ridge and get wind gust of 60+ miles per hour. I sit in our den and pray the braces will hold.

It has been a complete nightmare. I am happy to provide the pages and pages of spreadsheet I've kept up with since December of 2016.
