    The list is so long on how much this company’s customer service, quality of work, and communication sucks. It all starts with the head of the company Jeanie DeWitz who will talk to you with a smile during the building process then talk to you as a child whenever you have a problem that needs to be fixed. We had snow coming in our sliding door this winter on the coldest day with four children in the house and her response was that it wasn’t life threatening. I wasted hours of my day going back and forth with her about coming to fix things. The quality of the work is just garbage from squeaky floors, off center lights, horrible painting, and complete disrespect I wouldn’t recommend this company to my worst enemy. The fact of the matter is buying a home is a big deal and the person you trust to build you that home should have your best interest at heart and that’s just not the case with DeWitz. I’m writing this post only ten minutes after Jeanie left my home telling me she has tried to fix the problem (which she did but didn’t fix and clearly seen it wasn’t when she was here ) and they tried to the best of their ability so they won’t be trying again and we can hire someone else to come fix it. That’s the costumer service you get.

    DeWitz Home Builders has been to this home on numerous occasions.  We (and I) have never disregarded the complaints/concerns.  The patio door had a bit of snow come in the corner during the first snowstorm of the season with 50+mph winds.  The homeowner expected me to send someone out immediately during this blizzard event.  I was not going to risk anyone driving in these conditions. This was on a Friday evening and we had already had scheduled visit for Monday morning.  I explained to the homeowner that this would need to wait until the ********* came on Monday morning. Upon meeting Monday morning it was determined that the ******** patio door was warped.  We immediately ordered and replaced the door covered under ******** warranty.  At this meeting we also generously repaired bifold door tracks that were damaged from misuse.  

    The homeowner also called on a floor squeak.  We addressed this squeak on two different occasions.  We were able to quiet the squeak quite a bit but not 100%.  I explained to both the husband and wife that I can not guarantee a 100% squeak proof floor and I have done what I can to quite it down.  This response was not what they wanted to hear.  They think that the wood subfloor should make NO noise what so ever.  This is just not the case in building on a wood joist.  I explained that we glue and s**** the subfloor to the joists. It is impossible to guarantee a squeak proof wood floor. 

    I personally have been helping buyers build their homes for over 35 years, my family has been in business for over 65 years.  Of the thousands of homes we have built, this is the first BBB negative review.  I am proud of our company and take great pride in helping our customers understand the dynamic of owning a new construction home.
