The staff are friendly, HOWEVER, build quality is NOT quality. Furthermore, ANYTHING that goes wrong that you reach out to Prohome, their warranty company, will be dismissed or dragged out until your warranty expires. I have had cooling issues in my house since the initial walk through (almost 2 yrs ago) and have been going back and forth with them since then. I have finally given up and am just spending my money to fix the issue. Being a disabled veteran on a fixed income doesn't help this.And what is the fix? Having a heating/cooling company come out and fix the insulation in the attic (WHICH WASN'T TO CODE IN SOME AREAS), fixing the ductwork (which wasn't properly sealed in many places) and rebuilding the ductwork layout.This is only ONE of many quality of build issues I found in my home after closing.Review from Janice F

I would never tell anyone to purchase a pacesetter home they use the cheapest items that they can find. They put the cheapest faucets on the bathtubs and they also do not repair the items that they tell you they will take care of after the closings. The kitchen counters have chips in them and the tub faucet water has to run forever due to the faucet being too little for the tub so the water hits the side of the tub and their construction manager ***** will come in and tell you anything like you are supposed to believe what he is telling you just so he can get out of repairing the items, the painting of the homes are horrible. PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM PACESETTER HOMES. If you are looking for a great home go with ***** or Bloomfield or highland homes they have much better homes and built with great quality.Review from Nirmala J

REGRET BUYING FROM THIS BUILDER 1st Issue We have moved into this house Dec 2022 in ***** ************* in *******, ***We had water leak and it was fixed (atleast that is what they told).It had heavily rained (June 2024) and it is leaking again and we are out of 1 year warranty.2nd Issue Front door alignment was not correct from the beginning. We have told about this during walk through. Somehow it did not make it to the list and finally we were out of the warranty. There is a clear gap I AM GOING TO TELL ALL MY FRIENDS AND EVERYONE I KNOW NOT TO APPROACH THIS BUILDERReview from James F

I just tried to make a warranty claim with ProHome for my Pacesetter built home.I've been in my home for just over 3 years now and recently noticed a water stain on my ceiling. Checked it out in the attic during one of our recent rainstorms and found that one of the cheap plastic roof vents was cracked in one corner and was leaking (a slow leak, hence the 3 years before it became visible on the ceiling. Probably been leaking since it was installed.) Well, since I'm past the 2 year warranty period - Denied!I then tried the 10 year warranty people. Nope, 10 year warranty is only structural and doesn't cover leaks. _ Denied! I'm not sure how I would have found this any sooner as I typically don't spend time in the attic during rainstorms looking for leaks.Bottom line - Next time it rains spend a couple hours up in the attic checking for leaks and take care of any warranty items right away because Pacesetter will reject your claim if they possibly can and they don't stand behing their work.Review from SUDIP S

For the most part I've not had a problem with them. I purchased a townhome that was already built. However, they have built a community they advertise as Eco-Friendly & with ****** Fiber. These were all great sounding to me. I had some repairs that were suppose to be completed before closing. 1 repair wasn't, it took a month after we closed to get it done. This involved the the area the solar panels are on. This means I've not had use of the solar panels since I've moved in. Another problem is that they advertised ****** Fiber (1 gig). I've been trying to get access to that for a month as well. They have washed their hands of this since they consider it ******s issue. It doesn't do any good to advertise ****** Fiber if you can connect to it due to concrete being in the way. Not to mention you have no other internet options in this community. I would have hoped that they would work with ****** to get this resolved.Review from Jon H

Our intent has always been to build you a home that is in accordance with the design and quality standards outlined in the Purchase AgreementThat is part of the last message Id received from them after deciding that it would be better for me to lose 15 months and $15K than to spend $400K+ on a home that I simply did not trust. So why was I so willing to lose all of that time and money? 1. ************ cuts too many corners (literally and figuratively) for my liking. My suspicions really started to kick into high gear when I saw the frame and how badly it was constructed, including the materials used. ************ uses finger-jointed boards and, as Ive since learned, these are A LOT cheaper than typical straight boards. While they may be structurally sound, one of the drawbacks to using these is that the walls in the home may not be straight. Again: the walls in the home may. not. be. straight. And on that note2. During my final walkthrough with their team, I pointed out that 5 walls are indeed shocker not straight. The kicker came when, during that final walkthrough meeting, I was informed one wall cant be straightened due to my crazy decision to have a water softening loop installed. I know: silly me. (Side note: at the conclusion of that conversation I was told that no lie the walls in their model homes, probably arent straight, either.)(Side note to the side note: youve gotta love it when a company tries to gaslight you into thinking shoddy work is somehow perfectly fine and that youre the crazy one for expecting the walls in your BRAND NEW home to actually be straight)So if these are in accordance with the design and quality standards [as] outlined in the Purchase Agreement then Im 100% convinced that I was right in cutting my losses. There are many other issues, but they are too many to list here.Review from Eric B

This is my overall the experience of dealing with this home builder from November '20 to March 23 has been poor. The sales team is a fair to good experience initially. The build was 11 months and as started fair to good and then continued to falter as the process continued with both sales and build management. My initial construction manager was ****** who was helpful with mindful of my concerns of the build. I then got switched to ****** about 5 months into the build and the build and communication started to take a down turn. I had to watch the build attentively as mistakes mounted and hired a 3rd party inspector as I found build errors throughout the process that need correction. Communication was fair with ******, but not as attentive or mindful of my requests with ****** during the build. ****** was also not completing repair requests at final walk-through before closing and strongly vocalized that these problems can be addressed with warranty. Warranty was very poor with *******. All warranty requests that I had took several phone calls and email follow *** to complete. I had several no shows for warranty repairs. **** (director of construction) was also poor with communication and following through with completing outstanding items after close. There was also a issue that I had complained in April 2022 to **** about damage cause to my water utility valve housings caused by pacesetter contractor digging water lines for a new home next to my property. I emailed **** to have it repaired and was referred to a construction manager named **** to help. I pretty much got the run around for 11 months on the repair from **** and attempted to reach back out to **** with no resolution. I ended up having to repair it myself in March 2023 due to the inability of both **** and **** to follow through with repairing the damage their crew caused to my property. These two individuals drove the nail in the coffin for working with pacesetter in the future.Review from JB B

Im being generous giving them one star. Absolute WORST experience weve ever had building a house with them. They refuse (along with *******, another joke of a company) to get any of our punch list fixed after insanely shoddy work done all throughout our house in the first place. Our year warranty is now up after theyve delayed and delayed getting our issues fixed and now theyre saying its too late. Weve tried for over a year to get things fixed and they just keep avoiding doing any of it. Absolute C*** company with no integrity.Pacesetter Homes Response

We do not have any record of this person. in our system. Sometimes people who write reviews are not on our contract and therefore not in our system. We request the name on the purchase agreement and address of the home so we can follow up. Your satisfaction is important to us, and we are disappointed we were not able to meet your expectations as we have with **** percent of all our closed homebuyers YTD as reported by ************, an independent customer satisfaction company. Our decision in choosing the ProHome to help manage our warranty is because they are the largest and most successful customer service company in America. ProHome ******************* Services delivers customer service to thousands of homeowners in over 115 markets across the country. We understand no everyone will agree with this decision, but we feel ProHome can help ensure our homebuyers continued satisfaction with their new home.Review from Randa H

Don't ever buy a Pacesetter home. I'm a realtor who has a buyer that is under contract with Pacesetter for a small townhome in *****, **. We went under contract in March 2022 we are now being told they won't likely be able to close until April when the initial projection was Dec 2022. There's no way such a small project should be taking this long. The service we receive from the sales team is horrible, no one can provide any information of substance as to why other homes have been completed prior to our contracted home. Also there are significant design flaws with the framing that also can't be explained. The constant push back has cost my client money with a month to month lease, not to mention the market & rate volatility that we're experiencing. As an agent I can't keep advising my client to take the mental abuse he's experiencing. After seeing these reviews seems like after closing things won't get any better. This is a lose-lose situation. A resolution to this would be addressing the design flaws, closing the home no later than March and offering additional incentives for closing costs as ******* them will probably cause additional issues and headache.
