Adams Homes

The model we were shown we were told is the standard for our home (lies). We do not have a lot that was promised. Floors so loud, sound like a horse is walking upstairs. Flooring man said it’s the subflooring, they have not been back. Weak spots feel like you will sink in, they said it’s not deep enough to be considered faulty. Just trifling. Even had the nerve to say, "Your home better than mine. You should be grateful." I paid for this and should be happy in it. Contracted Feb 2020, Closed April 2021. Had to separate my family and live with others for 7 months all for a faulty home, lying superintendent, lying management, lying sales team. They have no morals. Don’t let build your dog's house. I wouldn’t have given one star but had no choice. I pray God have mercy on their lying souls.

Dean ** from Adams Homes has been to my home twice once in February when I showed up in person to the office in Venice Florida because after several appointments that he failed to show up to I decided to go confront them in person. He came, said, "No wonder your mad look at all the cracks," then turned around and responded to my BBB complaint that there was no evidence of cracks. These are some real idiots. Then in June Dean along with Jason ** from Maverick warranties and insurance come and look. I received a letter from Jason on June 17, 2022 stating that Adams Homes is responsible for the fix. Yet not a word. The cracks have not stopped. There are more. Adams Homes is one of the worst builders I have seen. They do not care about the people who have spent a fortune on their homes and the problems we are having. I guess next step is finding a lawyer.

The last time our home flooded was May 25th and FINALLY Adams sent out the Septic company (Brian Davis Septic) and we watched as they dug up our yard to inspect the septic. That is when we were told the drain line was crushed and needed to be replaced. It was several more weeks before that happened and we only found out it had been done by repeatedly calling Brian Davis Septic. The Superintendent came out to our home and told us that the damage should be fixed and after weeks and weeks of phone calls made by us (my fiancé and I) we still had no answers. Finally Jason in the warranty dept reached out and came out to our home on Friday, July 1st and told us they *might* fix *some* of the damage!!! He told us he would call on Tuesday, July 5th with answers but didn't.

Every time we call we reach Lisa or Michelle and are told Jason is out of the office or in a meeting and will call us back with answers but he never does. It has been THREE MONTHS and nothing has been done to fix our home! We are FED UP! We just want our home fixed so our family of 6 including 4 young children (ages 11 to 1 year old) do not have to live in a house torn apart, missing flooring and baseboards, with water damaged cabinets, doors, trim and furniture. We want answers and we want our home back!!! The home we JUST BOUGHT less than a year ago for $300,000! We want it back the way it was before it was destroyed due to your company's shoddy work and negligence. Since going public I have heard numerous horror stories of the same nature about Adams Homes! DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE TREATED THIS WAY!!!

Guessing Adams homes pissed off the lender who basically told us that he was sick of Adams Homes and that our home was worth more than we purchased for and that the build was purposely slowed down as a tactic to get us to cancel the contract so it could be sold for more money (we were too far in for Adams to ask for more money like they are doing to people now).

We watched houses being worked on that signed contracts after us and their permits went in after us. (Public records don’t lie.) Paint is a hot mess, went in with a marble and found hollow spots in tile floor, back patio concrete is cracked and was told “there are 2 types of concrete..cracked and ones that haven’t cracked yet”, dead grass with weeds (after 2 months we are still trying to get dead parts to grow), 1 closet door was installed backwards and you can’t open it all the way (swings in not out) gaps between the floor and wall (was told nothing can be done about it), sloppy grout and caulking), carpet is already pulling up where it meets the tile, water spout already had to be replaced due to breaking on first use.

Horrible..horrible..horrible experience. You see all these photos of people with the house pic and welcome gifts…we got none of that..all we got was “here’s your keys” (and they didn’t open all the doors..had to call them to do that too). If we had listened to Adams Homes and their preferred finance company, we would have been homeless for 6 months.

Do not sign with their “Preferred Lenders”, do not buy down your rate..lender sold off our mortgage before the 1st payment was due because I told them no to buying rate down. Wish we went with another builder and found our own finance company. The only good experience we’ve had was with Lance (Superintendent) who took over the gory mess of this build in Royal Highlands. I had a better experience when I built my other home with Maronda! SMH DO BETTER ADAMS! You made what was supposed to be a happy experience into a family’s nightmare!

We finally decided that we would walk the house with their permission after they had been working on it for around five months and it wasn't even to drywall stage. While walking the house we found that they had not even installed our shower in the master bath. We brought it to their attention and they said it would be fixed and cause no more delays. Two months later there was still no progress made. At this point they offered to let us cancel our contract and give our money back because they couldn't even provide information on the next step in the process or an estimated date of completion. We spent 11 months trying to get our home built with little progress and a major error. All the other builders we looked at had their homes completed and the owners moved in by school. I was very disappointed with this being our first experience in building a home.

After we cancelled our contract it seems like a miracle happened and they started completing the home much quicker. It seemed to me they wanted us to cancel so they could make more money. I just want to people to know our experience so hopefully they don't experience the frustration and heartbreak we had to. The only good thing to come out of this is that we found another company to build another home and the experience has been totally great with home also being of better quality.
