LTS Builders Review

The LTS company fails to add topsoil to its new homes. Instead, you get a quick covering with low quality grass seed and builders mulch. The grass comes up, but within a year a lot is dead, and the rocks are still there. The lawn becomes a rock garden, if you like that, and the lawn care mowers curse every time a rock hits the blade of their machine. They will only cut on very high profile (leaving any grass a few inches tall). Grass can t grow on rocks.

Rita and her staff seemed to cross all my t s and dot all my i s. They informed me of many things before I even asked. This will be smooth sailing til the end. Be assured that when you choose them, you will home in stress free.

Great selection of homes to have built in the Stroudsburg, PA area.

The doors in LTS built homes often do not latch shut. You close the door, then just push it and it opens! This happens in bedroom and bathroom doors. The cylinder does not fit the frame, it's off center. And then they also leave a space of 1.5 inches beneath some doors. Leaves a draft from the basement for example. Very low quality, shoddy craftsmanship. They do a quick cheap job.

The most amazing change in my life was to sit down with the LTS team Rita & Joe and trust them, that I would be a home owner soon. Brand new state of the art features . LTS homes is God sent for anyone buying there first home

We had a special custom project done by LTS Homes that took a little over a year. Everything they did was pretty good. They are very professional and nice people to work with.

Dont don't buy a home from L.T.S. .no one cares once they get your money.the house's they built suck do your home work.do not thrust then they have better builders in area over price for junk call B.B.B and see what iam saying don't trust L.T.S
If u do i feel sorry for you!!! What a mistake my family made.try getting the corp telephone #.they R A joke and if U buy the joke is on U.

Great builder! My house is so beautiful! A couple things they didnt finished before my closing because a need to move in , I got a temporary certificate of acupancy and every time I need to contact them they always reach me back and help. My neighborhood are two builders LTS and Castle bulders one of my neighbor they build with Castle builders and their roof leaked and they try to contact them and never got a call back from castle, I'm so happy I pick the right builder! I'm so happy with LTS!

We had a great experience from the very beginning with LTS! Joe went out of his way finding us the perfect land and home. He was also very patient with me, as I am very particular. And Rita helped us pick out the perfect colors and fixtures. We couldn t be any happier in our new home!!

When I saw the LTS foreman, Rick Wyckoff, with his truck, studying the vacant lot across the street from my home on Wedgewood Lake Drive, I went out to inquire. I knew him, and asked him whether the property was for sale, and he said he didn t know. I didn t even seriously consider inquiring with the landowner, whoever that might be, because I thought surely the foreman, or at least when my inquiry got back to Mr. LTS himself and the others, they would tell me what was up. I figured they were checking it out in case it went up for sale. I found out long after, that some weeks later they had went to the landowner and bought the property for 27.5k. The honorable thing to do would have been to give me a chance to bid. Better, what a sterling company would do, would be to inform the immediate neighbors that they will be bartering with the landowner and give them a chance to bid on a property not listed for sale, before purchasing it. And even when I mentioned to Mr. LTS through this medium that I would like to buy it back from them at cost, he declined. (I heard from a friend that they WILL sell you a lot that they just purchased, but will include in the sale price the profits they would have made, so you better be rich, because it will likely double the cost, or more.) When I saw my vacant lot where I would eventually have my home built, there was an old for sale sign there. Everyone in the neighborhood had a long prior chance to bid on the property. I told LTS about it, to build my home. They did not even know about Wedgewood Lake Drive, as far as I know, until I told them in 2013. Now the lot across the street on Wedgewood Lake Drive, which LTS surreptitiously purchased, is soon undergoing construction. There are beautiful tall trees, and every one of them has a pink dot meaning that soon they will all be buzz sawed down. Located to the west, they shade my house in summer from about 5 PM to sunset, keeping it cooler.

I love my home and all of the work that LTS Homes has done for me. I especially love all of the detail in lighting that they achieved.

LTS Homes started my home and finished on time. They did quality work and I got good upgrades.

I like everything the LTS Homes did for us. I love our house and they helped a lot with the model and lights. I would definitely recommend them to family and friends.

I just found a live chipmunk in the basement of my LTS home a few days ago! How? Somehow it tunneled through the insulation. I saw where it damaged the insulation. It did not come in through the basement door, which was not opened for months and never kept opened. But, there is no evident opening from outside where it got in! The creature ran up my basement steps! Then it ran up my upstairs steps! It attacked! It climbed up a lamp, then threw itself into my face! Then it took an hour to corner it and catch it with a pail! And dump it outside! This was not fun, and maybe it will be back. Only buy an LTS home if you like attacking chipmunks in the home.

I would hands down recommend LTS Home to my friends and family. They did beautiful work on my home.

LTS built my contemporary home back in 2006. 13 years later, the home is super solid and only has minor maintenance issues that are normal wear and tear - 2X6 inch stud construction is key. Not only that, we had a 10 year warranty included, and they came out and made any minor fixes that needed to be done (e.g., bilco cellar doors were a little tight to open - they fixed it immediately!)

I highly recommend them. Just be sure you think about your heating/cooling system as you're going through the process. I should not have gone with forced air in the Poconos at our elevation. Inefficient for heating in really cold temps.

If you ask lots of questions, and educate yourself through the process, you will get the perfect house you want and with the right builder - LTS.

This is a zero star company. Their basements leak. Mold, water, humidity. Slipshod construction. Basement door frames are not square. The elements come in.

LTS helped us with our beautiful home. We could not be more happy with the quality of their work and effort.

We chose LTS because of their high reputation for quality. We were impressed by the ongoing communication we had with Lou and Rita. They were always available to help with making decisions and to answer all questions and concerns no matter how large or small they were.
Lou always updated us and guided us through the steps of the construction process, from the design of our home to the land purchase and development.
Rita helped us choose the correct color combinations for the interior and exterior of our home. She also made logical suggestions to enhance and improve the interior floor plan.
The entire process was very impressive. My brother and I are very happy with our home. It far exceeds what we expected.

I have been in my LTS home coming up on a year this April. I am very pleased with my home. It is very well insulated which this winter has been testing. While I ran into a few issues in the beginning, Rick and Rita were quick to respond and resolve. Rick was phenomenal throughout the process, responded to myriad questions and put me at ease when I was most frustrated. Joe was awesome as well and gave really good suggestions about things to consider for upgrades. I would definitely recommend them.

LTS Homes is a low-level company. They installed an inexpensive smoke alarm system during construction. Every night you look up in the dark and see the green and red lights blinking on these devices. It s hard to sleep when you see these alien blinkers above your head. The alarms can sound in the middle of the night unexpectedly. LTS used low qual batteries, and they need 2 kinds of batteries. A few months after home purchase, the smoke detectors signaled that they needed new batteries. How? They are all connected via inside home wiring and they all go off with a sharp prolonged alarm, and voice commands bark from the detectors. Inevitably, this has happened in the middle of the night. Somehow it was at 2 or 3 AM. This occurred several times when they needed new batteries. But, there is no way to know which batteries are dying. So you have to change all of the batteries. Get up on a tall ladder to reach them, like in the garage. If you make a mistake you are doomed. If the batteries are installed upside down (direction is not marked well or at all on the smoke detector, or in tiny writing) it s such a cheap system that it shorts the detector! Then the next day it starts acting erratically and barking voice commands. I had to disconnect one unit because of it, and now I don t even know if the others will work. I just want it to stop!

This was our second house by LTS and the overall experience very good. Although a smaller house I must say LTS has improved in every area; using high quality up to date materials, responsive, better timing and communication and valuing their customer s opinions. I would build with LTS Homes again.

I built my home 21 years ago with another builder and regret it to this day. Every friend or coworker of mine with an lots home has a truly quality home with fine details and no shortcuts.

I absolutely love my LTS home! The staff was extremely professional and very attentive. I highly recommend LTS Homes.

From the time I started the process to the end of the process. Rita and her staff has walked me through the process with confidence. When I had doubts, Rita and her staff reassured me. I always wanted to be a home owner. So on September 11th of this year my dream became my reality . I'm so thankful to God and Rita and her wonderful team!

Rick was phenomenal, listens and comes back if there are issues. He is the one guy that is holding LTS Homes together. Very fortunate to work with him. Him and Bill Fisher are fantastic. They listened to what I wanted.

Helpful, friendly, courteous and knowledgeable as it relates to being a residential inspector.

My house was built by LTS --- the deck was never flashed, not even bolted to the house...just NAILED. It collapsed while I was ON IT -- almost killed me. So much water damage, the side of the house collapsed as well -- I had to have a crew here lift the entire structure up to fix. ALSO-- theres BARELY ( if any ) insulation, NONE in the floors --- and for some reason they decided to run all the pipes through the garage which has NO HEAT and NO INSULATION. The roof was nailed on with ONE or TWO NAILS for some reason, ALL the windows ARGON are spent so I have to replace all of them. The DRIVEWAY now, they didn't remove the tree stumps just piled gravel over them-- now I have SINK HOLES in three places and you can literally see the tree and its roots.... I called LTS and I was told " oh, this is a different LTS the LTS who built your house is no longer in business ".....yeah right.
