They do offer what seems to be affordable homes which are advertised at affordable prices and home owner warranty to put the buyer at ease. You ll find out quickly the warranty is next to worthless.
In 4 years of living in our new construction build, we have experienced 3 failures to the air conditioning unit totaling out of pocket expenses exceeding $2500. Several windows had broken seals which yielded a cloudy film being left between panes of glass. The vents on the roof leaked rain water within 18 months of a owning the home causing some internal water damage to our home. Each time when we inquire with them, they are slow to respond and tell us our repair is not covered by the warranty.
We took on a complete remodel of the home to remedy all of the craftsmanship issues which existed due to shoddy work. These homes just go up too fast and there is a lack of attention to detail and/or quality of work.
Now with the remodel behind us, our home is great with no lingering issues but you shouldn t have to spend 10 s of 1000 s on a home that is less than 5 years old to make it right. Last point, when it s not right for your customer, you should do everything in your reasonable power to make it right. This is where Legend just misses the mark.
UPDATE: Shortly after posting this, the builder reached out to discuss our concerns. While that was appreciated, all prior efforts to work with Legend did not yield any outcome where they took responsibility for shoddy workmanship much less any action to remedy what we felt were warranty related issues, For example, when you have an in warranty claim with an air conditioning unit, you should not have to pay hundreds of dollars in labor costs for someone to come out to replace an in warranty part.
After several failed attempts across various levels of leadership at the builder, we gave up on them addressing our concerns and hired our own contractor to do so. The purpose of my post is to ensure people understand the warranty the builder provides doesn't cover what you might think.
