Holiday Builders

Hello Everyone, I am starting a review that I plan on updating as we go along. My Wife and I signed our contract on August 1st of 2021. At the start we were told 12-15 months. Which was fine. Sign a new lease at our new place and keep going. We have had to reach out to sales to get updates on everything with not much ever being known. Had to do my own research to see that permits have been approved as of February 1st. These permits had been rejected 3 times from the City as well, delaying things even more. As a builder they should have known the codes that where rejected as well. We currently do not have any time line on a move forward plan. This is disheartening as everyone knows interest rates keep climbing. At this point I know things are delayed but would really like a time line on our beautiful home being built. On another note, one right next door to ours with the same permitting time has broken ground and already started to build. Update: I have started receiving regular updates as well as a potential start date for building our dream home. We are still very excited and happy to see quick response from multiple people on the Holiday Builders team!! Update: I have continued to receive updates and the build has been pushed forward. Will continue to make updates as Holiday Builders has stepped up considerably and will update as the build starts. Update: We have now been told our project is projected to close in 28 months. Delays delays and more delays filled with one bent truth after the next. First it’s supplies to start, that’s a lie the buy them as they go, then it’s labor, then it’s permits. We have seen entire apartment complexes built in less time. When I ask for more hands on deck I get no responses. Guess we just sit and wait…….

I had the Kings Bay built and love the house, but I have had interior doors sitting in my spare room for months waiting for someone to install them, The only reason they are in the house is because the originals warped with the heat, so to save them and not cost the company any more money I put them in the house. I had the floor people come and fix some planks that were damaged and they made them worse, shutters are falling off my house. Just to get anyone out here to fix them is a project. I understand COVID-19 hit, but people are starting to go back into work and still no one is reaching out to me. I am frustrated. The one thing that sticks in my head was the day that the door guy Charlie told me he was extremely busy and had 18 other houses to do, and I would have to wait, and he never showed up. My husband took the day off from work. Every time I call about having these things done, I'm told that someone will get in touch with me to have these things fixed. I also have a laundry room window where the pain is crooked and was told oh the window people wont fix that. If someone from Holiday could please reach out to me so that I can get these things fixed. My house is only 5 month old I shouldn't have these problems lingering like this.

This company took advantage of my elderly mother. She lived in another state at the time that her home was being built. They did not take the time to make sure that the lot that the house was being built on was level before the house was built there. Now her backyard is comparable to a swamp every time it rains hard in Florida. They neglected to put any handles on any of the interior cabinets in her house. The driveway had an unapproved design glaze put on it and the dirt collects in all of the crevices and has to be pressure washed to remove it. The interior of the house was painted with inferior paint and she had to hire another contractor to come in and paint the entire interior of the house again. This builder will do anything to save a buck if you are not present when your house is being built or immediately after it is finished. They state that they only use employees to build their houses when you visit their showrooms. Yet, when I showed up when my mother was in another state, no one spoke english in the crew that was present at her new home's location.. Buyer beware, do your homework and shop around for other builders. This company is comparable to a used automobile dealership. You don't get what you pay for!

STAY FAR FAR AWAY!!! I had a home built in 2018 in Port St Lucie and refereed 2 others to have homes built. However all of us and a few neighbors have had very similar issues. Leaks from the walls and foundations. They claim it’s gutters and erosion however 2 of 4 homes have gutters so that the theory is out. I’ve called numerous times to at least have someone from holiday come look or take my photos but they refuse. So I hope they can see their cheap work here. I am under warranty for structural damage however they are doing their best to ignore it. Now we just discovered we have mold growing in my 2 year olds nursery and she has had respiratory problems for over a year and we’ve just begun the journey cleaning up their mess. It’s amazing how their negligence and lack of accountability will have lasting effects on my family. I’m sure they will put some PC comment below but trust me stay away. They also want to nickel and dime you on the front end of the sale and will funnel you to use in house lenders which they have interest in. Do NOT take that bait it is a complete under the table scam. Builders in this area are a dime a dozen so no need to deal with greedy corporations like this one.

We are very happy with our new home built by Holiday Builders! We just closed today and couldn't be happier. Communication from our project manager Bryan Ducharme was amazing. The quality of the house is excellent. We would definitely recommend Holiday Builders to anyone looking to build their dream home.
