  I bought a condo that was constructed by Edge homes. As soon as I started getting neighbors moving in, I started hearing them. I can hear cabinet doors opening and closing, neighbors talking to each other, neighbors walking around in their units, tv and music, cars driving outside, and babies crying. I contacted Edge under my home warranty several times to resolve the sound issues and they kept promising to fix it but never even sent anyone out to my home. This isn’t an issue of my neighbors being excessively loud - this is an issue of every day noises being carried across units. These noises disrupt my daily routine and often disturb my sleep. I should have the right to privacy in my own home. Edge has now stalled long enough that my home warranty has run out, despite me attempting to contact them regarding the noise issue prior to the end of my warranty. I’m worried that they will now refuse my claim because of their refusal to address my claim within the time limits of my home warranty. I understand that no soundproofing can stop every noise and if my neighbors were being excessively noisy I would be addressing this issue with them. However, I am hearing their conversations, tvs, music, cupboard doors opening and closing, etc. at levels that I shouldn’t be able to IF Edge constructed the condos the way I was told that they did.

  Representatives of EDGE Homes and the insulation company met with the customer on Monday the 21st. We explained to the customer the insulation and sound reducing components installed in the walls and floors between the separate homes in the building, as well as the inspections that were performed by the city inspectors at the time of construction.
  The customer mentioned she was having a third party inspection of the home and offered to send us a copy of the report. Once we receive it, we will review the report and make any code required corrections.

  Complaint: ********
  
  I am rejecting this response because: as stated multiple times to Edge, my complaint is that Edge has constructed a home that has such poor sound insulation that I can hear my neighbors coughing, sneezing, opening and closing doors and cupboards, playing music, and watching TV at reasonable levels. I don't care that Edge is saying they built the condo up to code - they were still negligent and didn't soundproof my condo enough. Whether they built the condo up to code or not is suspect, but the complaint is that I can hear EVERYTHING and I shouldn't be able to just because Edge can't properly soundproof.
  
  Sincerely,
  ***** *******

  We bought a condo from Edge Home, and the microwave is broken when we moved in. We contacted the appliance warranty contractor, and they came and checked the microwave. The microwave was dropped to the ground when Edge installed it, and the warranty contractor said we need to get a replacement from Edge. That happened in June. Now Edge is ignoring our request for a microwave replacement. We have been trying to get them to replace the microwave since June and we still have not got any resolution from Edge.

  This has been resolved. The microwave was replaced a while back. Please advise if this complaint needs further action.

  When my partner and I first started the process of building our home we worked out some numbers with their preferred lender and at the time the monthly payment was doable for us. Now, with the rates being higher it made the monthly payments about $1000 more and its just not doable for us anymore. We initially started working with one of their agents but a few months ago she quit and we were given a new agent that we spoke to once over the phone only because we asked to schedule a call with him and now we cant even get a hold of him at all... All we want is to speak to someone to cancel our home and get our money back that we were promised we would get.

  Due to the rising interest rates our property we are building with edge homes has become over $1k higher per month in payments. Because of this there is the possibility we will not be able to afford the home when it is done. We reached out to the Edge representative in charge of our build and they put us in touch with the ** of Sales who promised our Edge realtor would get us details on whether or not Edge could buy back our home. We were promised this information over 2 weeks ago at this point and still have not heard back from the realtor in charge of our sale even after multiple attempts to get that information.

  I am rejecting this response because: I received a verbal promise from the ** of Sales that I would be able to sell our home back to Edge during our initial conversation. On this next conversation they have indicated that this is only for warranty work or related to life altering circumstances. It feels like they backed out of what was promised. I will reach out to legal to discuss this more in depth but there is no resolution at this point. 
  
  Sincerely,

  There is a dirt sinking problem in edgehome's neighborhood. Most of the houses have been affected on my street. Edgehomes has blamed it all on bad landscapers and refused to fix it. We first had an issue with the side of the house where an 8 feet sinkhole appeared under the stairs to the basement. We had experts come look at it and they all suggested that the builder did not compact the dirt properly. Even the city inspector told us that Edgehomes likely only did the bare minimum to meet the code but probably not good enough for the dirt in this area. Edgehomes said the sinkhole was because of a berm that was removed by the landscaper and refused to fix the issue. It was comical because we never had a berm, it was a ditch when we moved in. Edgehomes claimed they took pictures. I'd love to see those. Eventually, we didn't want the hole to keep growing and fixed it ourselves.Then dirt started sinking all around the house. Edgehomes said the problem is with my downspouts being blocked by the grass. Which is completely false. I have a video prove otherwise, the downspouts can pop and drain the water easily. Furthermore, the backside of the house has no downspouts whatsoever but still sunk. All the neighbors we've talked to said the same thing, Edgehomes blamed all the dirt sinking problems to bad landscapers. One of our neighbors doesn't have his landscaping done and you can see a gap between the concrete steps and the dirt. It's not a landscaper's fault. It's not a water pooling issue either. The steps got a good nice grade on both sides.

  Bought a condo build by edge homes in phase 1. During this time the salesperson promised us all units were fitted to be sound prof (that was a huge selling point) Other buyers in the complex were told the exact same thing. Turns out the complex has 0 soundproofing at all. We now have more than 50% of owners and tenants complaining about the issue.

  Hi *******, Thank you for reaching out! We have done our best to minimize sound by creating an air gap between floors, designed to reduce sound, and we have received an independent Sound Transmission Class rating of 62, which is considered excellent. The *** rating goes up to 65, but most products don't promise anything above 55. Unfortunately, nothing is completely soundproof, and some outside noise will enter your space.

  I am rejecting this response because:

  Are you sure? Take a look at these photos

  Outside noise is one thing, being able to hear your neighbors sneeze is another.
  This issue is big enough that a local **** news agency is getting involved.

  I suggest Edge Homes reach out to these communities and repair this work before the broadcast airs. 

  Sincerely,
  
  BW
