I bought a home from Hamlet a couple of years ago ...
I bought a home from Hamlet a couple of years ago and was pretty happy about my investment. I had had a good buying experience with Zack. I did have few things come up after we moved in. They took care of some issues but they didn't take care of my landscaping issues. from the beginning I wasn't happy with their landscape work. They laid the sod without leveling the ground and there were huge gaps. it was a terrible job and i had told them to fix it. They said the first year the ground is going to look uneven but after a year it'd look good. Now, I am a first time home buyer and they took advantage of my lack of knowledge on this matter. They laid the sod in the fall and pretty soon it was covered in the snow. Last year when my warranty was still good I called them and said that the lawn looks terrible, the grass is dead which exposed the uneven ground even more. They came and increase the time on the sprinklers and left saying that the lawn wasn't getting enough water and once the grass got taller the ground would be even. I trusted them and didn't take any action. this is my third year and the my lawn looks terrible. My warranty has expired. i reached out to them hoping that they would take a look at it and try to at least get the contractor out here and show their work, but they just told me that the warranty has expired and they have nothing to do with it now. I tried to ask his boss' number he said he doesn't have it.
I didn't want to post negative comments but they gave me no other choices. I am very disappointed with Hamlet homes lack of professionalism. I regret spreading good words about them to my friends now. I don't want other First time buyers like me to get ripped off by them. I intend to live here for 3-5 years and will be in the market looking for new homes again. I will make sure not to buy another Hamlet home if this is how they are going to behave.
I believe in keeping good relationships and giving a chance to do the right thing. Let's see if Hamlet will do the right thing or just ignore this issue. all they have to do is make their landscapers responsible for their unprofessional jobs and make them do it right. Upon looking at some other reviews, I am not the only one with this issue. I will come back and re-write this post if they reach out to me and fix this issues.
