            In 2022 we purchased a new construction custom home from JA Myers Building & Development. The entire process was a nightmare, and getting the builder to make repairs and perform work correctly on a 500k home has been like pulling teeth. While some issue have been addressed, others have not. In our kitchen/family room/dining room, we have numerous walls that are not close to being square and are eyesores. JA Myers comment is there is nothing we can do about this. We even pointed these out during walkthrough, walkback, and numerous monthly inspections. Next, we had a leak in our powder room, JA Myers took 4 attempts to get a plumber out to make a repair. A month or so after the repair, the tube that was supposedly repaired, blew off while we were eating dinner and no water was running and JA Myers says not out problem, call your homeowners for the water damage. Upon further investigation after the failure, the pipe was never correctly installed as there are no bite makes. We have photo evidence of this. Third, we have numerous large cracks in the basement and garage concrete. We informed JA Myers this is not acceptable, they are too large and they don't seem to care. However, the newest homes have saw cuts in the concrete, which is how all of them should have been done. Then we have the driveway. Almost every driveway in the neighborhood is sinking where it meets the garage. This isnt caused by parked car, but is definitely an issue from not compacting the ground, and not rolling the blacktop correctly, because you cannot get a roller into the area of the driveway to garage interface. Next we have the comment of "stone to grade" that JA Myers publishes. Out house does not have stone to grade, they stopped stone a couple rows above the grade and piled up dirt (full of rocks) to hide it. And finally we have the yard grading. Township regulations require no fill over 12", we have dug out a pile of 12"+ rocks. Additionally the yard doesnt drain, water just pools.

            JA Myers is not an honest company. We lived in a rental property for 3 years, maintained our home with respect to the property and raised 3 children. There was only normal wear and tear on the unit. We terminated our lease early because we were purchasing a home knowing there would be some fees. We hired a professional carpet cleaning service as requested in our lease. JA Myers stated they were not happy with the job and still smelled an odor so we had the carpet cleaning company come back out. The carpet cleaning company stated they did not identify an odor and felt the property manager was being unreasonable and difficult. After cleaning the carpet again as requested, JA Myers stated they would still charge us for a full carpet replacement. It was reported to us by the carpet cleaning company that JA Myers called the company to “get their stories straight and get on the same side” should we take JA Myers to court. They proceeded to charge us in excess of $7,000 for move out costs such as painting the unit. The paint was ordered and delivered before we even had a move out inspection. There were various other charges as well. We asked for receipts for the charges and they refused to give us any. We asked in general about some of these charges and were completely disregarded and not given a response. They tried to get us to sign a NON DISCLOSURE CLAUSE agreeing not to discuss anything with anyone. We agreed to payment, but refused to agree to the non disclosure clause. JA Myers stated that they would take us to court and any payment agreement was terminated. This was AFTER we paid them $2,000. They refused to comment about the addition of that clause. We had work orders that we placed for items breaking in the home that were never fulfilled until the week we were moving out (more than 6 months after the work order was placed). They lie and misrepresent things. Thoroughly read your contracts REGARDLESS of what they tell you. The company is not run with integrity.
