Review of Celebration Homes

Dealing with Celebration Homes has been one of the...

Dealing with Celebration Homes has been one of the most ongoing frustrating experiences of my life. What Celebration advertises is not what they deliver.
-Celebration advertised street lamps. 9 years later with all houses built NO street lamps. Celebration just kept building knowing it was an issue saying it was the developer who says it's the builders responsibility. Again building is complete with NO street lights. Celebration advertised lights.
-Celebration advertised a private lagoon. Private lagoon for the developer not the residents. Duck blind leased to hunters for years on our PRIVATE Lagoon. 5 babies under a year old this past duck season being woke by gunfire (legal since the blind is just past the 100 yard buffer). Celebration never disclosed this to buyers even though it has been going on for years.
--the landing to the lagoon has been tore up so badly residents can't even keep it mowed resulting in excessive snakes this year.
-Celebration still has a rental in the subdivision. Yard upkeep was so bad pictures had to be sent to Celebration to have it mowed while it sits empty. The number listed on the house would not pick up and their mailbox was full so we had to go thru a Celebration VP to have it mowed.
-Celebration APPOINTED an HOA board without notification or an election. They were voted out the second meeting.
-the list goes on and on over the years. Their only concern is to keep the developer happy so that Celebration can build another subdivision behind this one without the infrastructure complete in this one.
-as far as the actual home building quality it is average at best. Added square footage to the original plan. They used an undersized heating and cooling unit, not enough roof support causing excessive creaking in high winds, garage door button fastened to the dry wall without the metal backing causing the door to literally come down on my truck, plumbing not connected correctly, concrete cracks and breaking down. The list goes on. If I listed all the different issues my neighbor's have had with their NEW homes the list would be extensive with many things hidden or not showing up for years.
Good luck if you have or are considering a Celebration Home. Again this review only scratches the surface of dealing with them.
