Faber Homes

I've lived in this piece of *** for over a year now and it's my fault. All I saw was a low price, should have remembered you get what you pay for. The warranty dept won't return my calls and now I'm stuck with a mortgage for junk.

It was a nightmare..Talk to the neighbors before you buy.

I'm a little surprised at some of the reviews I've read on here. We could not have been happier with our building experience.

From our sales representative Anthony, to Anna who helped us navigate through the endless design options, to Jim who was the foreman on our build, everyone was wonderful. We started digging in May 2016 and closed in August, as promised. We had endless questions and concerns and every issue was handled and resolved quickly. Building a house is expensive and can be stressful.

If you are looking for an experience that is without problems, setbacks and some compromise and disappointment, then I recommend you never build a house with ANYONE. If however, you are looking to build an affordable and beautiful home, in a great community, then I would recommend Faber to anyone.

We love our house, we love our neighborhood and I can honestly say that we continue to periodically reach out to some of the Faber staff with questions and still, even after closing, are responded to quickly and with professionalism.

Run away !!!

Faber has teamed up with HUD for the Regency Park building sites.

There goes our home values.

Thank again Faber for screwing us again.

Aweful experience since day one. The employees outright lie to you.

I have spoken to many of my neighbors and not a one has anything go to say about there Faber experience. The basement floors crack, because they build the houses and let them sit for weeks before having the electric turn on. So without electric, the pump doesn't work and the rain water backfills through the pipes. One neighbor, bought her house in October of 2014 and has replaced the roof down to the particle board, because it leaked.

The egrees window has leaked in many of these houses. Mine did on three separate rain storms. Months have gone by and they still haven't come to fix it as promised. I have actually fixed it by adding drain tiles and soil.

There warranty department and customer service is useless. If you can get them to your place to "fix" a problem. It means that they will patch the problem not "fix" it. My brand new house had nicks and cracks on the cabinets.

They came to "fix" them, they ending up adding molding to cover the nicks and cracks. My lawn looks aweful. It says in the contract that you are suppose to water the lawn after they install it. The problem is that they installed it in early July and I closed the end of July.

It didn't rain in July, so it didn't get watered. I have seeded it and fertilized it and it still looks aweful. Faber says it my problem. These are just a few of the problems that I have had, There are many more.

I bought a new house because I didn't want to have to spend the time fixing my old house.

Now I am fixing a new house. In hindsight, I wished I never bought this house.

I built with another home builder in 2005 and then "upgraded" to another new home in 2013, this time by Faber. There were definitely bumps in the road BOTH times.

No matter who you chose to build your house, YOU WILL HAVE ISSUES!!!! It is inherent in the process. I refused to build with Ryan because 2 friends built with them (in different subdivisions) and had issues - 1 had leaky roof and basement water problems, the other has sewer backup issues and they both were at their wits end getting the problems resolved. Another friend built with Gerber Homes - they have issues with poorly fitting windows and doors.

I had to take Faber to task a few times on some issues during construction and during the warranty period. But I had to do the same with my last builder, so for me it wasn't much of a shock because I knew what to expect and how to deal with it. Overall, my house is solid and I haven't had any major problems with the big stuff (roof, plumbing, foundation, electrical). We do have nail pops there are minor issues that can be fixed down the line.

Honestly, I would consider building with them again if I was looking for another new house down the line. The problem is the people equate "brand new" house with "flawless" house. This assumption will leave you disappointed and upset - you house will not be flawless. Worry about the big stuff not the nail pops!

If the big stuff is fine, you can always fix the small stuff. And the best advice I could give you is read the Faber Warranty book cover to cover. If you don't understand what is in there, you WILL be disappointed.

Also, make sure to go over your house with a fine tooth comb at pre-closing and the 6 and 12 month warranties - find every little issue and have them address it. Because, once 12 months have passed you will be on your own.

We built our home in 2009. I felt compelled to write today because the only things I ever hear on our neighborhood FB page are complaints, and honestly, I have very few complaints about our experience with Faber and our home.

We came from a 1930s house, so while I miss the old house charm, our new house is solid. While building, we weren't happy that we had to pay for the upgrade to architectural shingles, because that is the standard currently, but it was well worth the upgrade since most people with the 3 tab shingles aren't happy. Our roof is perfect.

Many people complain about nail pops. We didn't have enough to even warrant our 12 month inspection.

Our basement has never had a drop of water. We paid to upgrade our kitchen cabinets and it was well worth it. The ~$3600 we paid in cabinet and counter upgrades would have cost us $10,000+ to do on our own if we had decided NOT to upgrade and do it later.

The flooring selection could have been better for the base options, but again, we chose to stay with what was included because we had a toddler and a dog. And honestly, 6.5 years later, we still have the same flooring and it's really holding up decently.

Our only regret looking back now, which we can't change, is not going with 9 ft ceilings. It wasn't something that we even thought of at the time. We also wish our driveway were a bit flatter, but that's if I'm really looking for something to fix here...

Our family is very happy with the house that Faber built for us. It's not a luxury home, but we also didn't pay for a luxury home. We paid for an average 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath house in a neighborhood with sidewalks. That's what we got.

The sales people at Faber,especially don are useless he lies all the time and never calls you back when you call him.And Ann Marie does not tell you everything that you can upgrade to your house she is really useless probably cause her mind is on ray the Forman......

The only people happy with Faber Homes are the ones that don't know they've been screwed!!!!!

And if you paid for the upgrades with Claridge then your screwed yourself even harder.

knock on the neighbors doors, talk to his employers, call the building department, check the better business bureau but dont be fooled by the price of the house.

The Owner is nothing more than a crook, he could make it as a lawyer so he decided to build houses and rip people off.

Faber homes are cheap for a reason, so if you wish to life in junk with no chance of selling it later than Faber is for you. i dont wish to be treated poorly only to life in a problematic piece of ***.

I personally work hard for my money and cant stand nasty people.

Don't be fooled, the site foreman is a drug addict, the Contractors are unethical and if you chose an upgrade with Claridge it'll be the biggest *** "f" of your life. There's so many better builders out there.

Shop around, get references, call the building department and most importantly read Faber's contract, its not in your favor.

I've lived in this piece of *** for over a year now and it's my fault. All I saw was a low price, should have remembered you get what you pay for. The warranty dept won't return my calls and now I'm stuck with a mortgage for junk.
