      Status:
      Answered
      We purchased a home from Nilson Homes in February 2021. Several times our exterior was mixed up with our neighbors leading to workers walking over our newly poured driveway. We have footprints in our driveway because of this. We immediately brought it to Nilson Homes attention & said we wanted it fixed. We were promised a new driveway several times during & after construction. We told Nilson Homes we wanted a written letter before closing stating they would replace the driveway, which they said they would provide. We then get a call stating we needed to do the final walkthrough the next day & close the following day due to a personal need of the superintendent. We showed up to closing & there was no letter. We asked for it but was told we HAD to close that day & would be getting the letter shortly after. "Due to the quick closing," they couldn't get the letter in time. Because Nilson Homes was so nice during most of the process, we believed them. We never got a letter. I called Lee the warranty manager at the time & had several conversations. He physically came to our house to look at the driveway stating we were owed a new one. He gave us the runaround, we need to wait until spring & other excuses. After no response, we were told by the warranty dept he was no longer employed there. We've tried contacting the warranty department & get ignored. I made comments on social media & privately messaged Nilson Homes with a response from almost a year ago stating there was a delay. I sent other messages through social media that have been seen by Nilson Homes with no response. I filed a complaint with BBB to get their attention but they focused on other warranty claims that I did not complain about. We also were never advised of a meeting that was held. They did come to our home & then came up with an excuse later that "they were at the wrong house." Joe who sold us our home, was standing on our property when my husband got a call from the warranty dept that a new driveway was approved.

      Two complaints that I've repeatedly forwarded on to Nilson's warranty department and people. 1. I have significant water drainage problems. This is a problem that Nilson created when they excavated my home and then allowed the fence company to come in after and build up the back of the property at fence install. The water now grades back towards my home. This development is generally flat but somehow I also ended up lower than my neighbor. This has turned my backyard into a lake this winter and water has entered the basement. There would have been more water had I not been out repeatedly pumping the water away from the home. The fix is expensive according to the quotes I have received and Nilson is unwilling so far to address the situation they created. A 10 foot grade away from the home in dense clay **** with a grade that returns the water back towards the home is not an acceptable solution. This home had water issues prior to close. I was told they would return to fix the issues if I saw them again. Those promises have not been fulfilled. Others in the neighborhood have also had water in their basement. The issue is chronic. 2. My driveway is chipping away. According to concrete contractors I've consulted, the issue either relates to the initial concrete mixture, which was left too wet allowing the aggregate to rise to the top, causing the spalling, or due to the dilution of the concrete as it cured. It was allowed to stay too wet. Either way, my driveway looks 10 years old and I've been told by Nilson, since they cannot guarantee how it was cared for (over the four months I had been in the home), they will not assist. Concrete cracks, etc. etc., but this concrete was doomed from the start. And months of me keeping salt and snow off the concrete did not save it. Nilson has records on the concrete mixture. I've asked to see them and have seen nothing as of yet. I've asked for meetings beyond the warranty department and have been denied so far.
