Maronda Homes

Karen of Palm Coast FL (04/03/09)
My husband contracted sight unseen for me. It's a builder's spec home...what you see is what you get. We have some small issues, finish work is not the best but for the price this was what we got. It was not a custom home. Updates were our responsibility. The house is great, we are happy and yes, there are little pissy things that are not up to our expectations but have been taken care of by my husband and I. Being from South Florida, this became a very very reasonable place to live, taxes, insurance, houses are so much less expensive and a wonderful community to be in. So, we have to put up with a few inconveniences..perfection comes with 500,000 homes!

Purchased a house in 2002 as second owner, but as a first time homebuyer, and was was unaware as to the problems with the house and which were not pointed out by the home inspector.

The first problem occured shortly after purchased when it was discovered the the roof had leaked in prior years and had ruined the dry wall in numerous rooms and on numerous floors. The flashing on the roof was never installed.

The second problem was the siding used, being T-111 which was recalled by all makers and was the loser in a class action lawsuit. The T-111 had to be replaced in 2004 due to rain water seeping thru the walls as the T-111 was no kaput.

The third issue is the Polybutulyene plumbing (PB piping; Qest E PB 2110 ASTM D3309), which is intermixed with copper and fittings. The PB piping is much cheaper tha all copper, and also fails withing 10 years of installation. The piping has leaked on numerous occassions and in all areas of the house. The kitchen, laundry room, water heater, wash tub, two full baths, and also a half bath have all had leaks and major breaks in the pipes.

PB piping was recalled and outlawed in many states in the 1980's but not completely until the 1995 class action lawsuit which prohibited it from being sold any longer. The windows used in the house were also of poor quality and were part of a recall. The windows had to be replaced due to fogging and leaks.

The poor quality of this house, and the other houses in this plan, and the fact that Maronda knowingly built these homes with poor quality materials, are in fact defective homes, and acted in an unfair, deceptive and unconscionable manner speaks volumes of this builder's lack of conscious.

Major repairs and renovations. The entire house had to be resided, windows replaced, entire house plumbing, and numerous other issues to date.

during walk thru contractor stated all repairs would be completed, called his boss she came out and looked, the trusses are too short for this house and she said they would have to repair the entire upstairs, the ac leaks into the garage, several boards loose, co came to look and said the joices were also to short to support the frame. Now I can not get a call back from Maronda after calling for two years. There is also leakage downstairs at the baseboards the has caused mildew to boards.
