This company and the employees that work at this location are not qualified to build homes or represent America's Home Place. Using this company was the worst decision I have ever made.
The staff at Brunswick Ga were amazing.
From the first phone call from Amanda to the final walk through with Heath. And everything and everyone in between from Chuck who was always there to help with anything at all to Tomi helping with payments and finances to Kevin who oversaw all and was always there when needed. You could not ask for a better crew! I miss talking with them they were always so pleasant and professional! Our house turned out gorgeous even better than we hoped for!
AHP is Incredibly easy to work with, very straightforward process and we felt very confident about the detailed project plan and commitment from AHP. There were no surprises with AHP.
For us being a first time home owner, but also building a home for the first time, America's Homeplace made our experience easy as possible.
When it came to designing the house and working out details, the initial steps were professional, smooth, and courteous. When it came to building, they kept us as informed as possible with photos. When it came to moving in, there was a lot of debris in the yard for us to clean up.
They have been wonderful to work with and communication was great. Their attention to quality was above and beyond what I expected.
Very professional and knowledgeable.
Yes I will be recommending AHP to anyone who is looking to build.
No one else would even respond to us and AHP did and was never pushy.
AHP's plan selection and willingness to customized makes them a unique builder in this area.
You placed the plumbing for our bathroom in the garage which then needed to be cut out leaving a 4' x 8' section of floor that was obviously cut and no longer uniform. After lengthy discussion, I was informed by our foreman that the office manager, Matt Dibb, stated it was a take it or leave it fix. Approximately 5-6 months later when the office manager wanted to close before years end, then he was willing to make amends and offer something additional for our inconvenience. So, he became a professional when he wanted something.
Also, after accommodating the manager with closing, we found out from the local inspector that the manager signed on our behalf for a variance, which we didn't authorize nor were we informed of this. We believe this was done to avoid bringing the mistakes made on the front porch up to code for cost and timing purposes. In the event we went to sell our home at a later time, we would have to incur the cost of bringing things up to code, which is what your company was supposed to do in the first place.
We found Mr. Dibb to be unprofessional and more importantly, not trustworthy. Our foreman Jason was someone that I would work with again. He was professional and helpful during the entire project. Jordan, who also needed to get involved was an absolute professional. My apologies for not remembering his last name. He was a complete professional that always called when he said and followed up whenever he said he would. I recommended to Jordan to have Mr. Dibb follow him around for a couple of weeks so he can learn how to be a professional. Not sure if that would help him with being trustworthy.
We love our new custom built home. We are thankful to have had the support and expertise of AHP though out this process. Our home was finished timely and is beautiful. The team at Oxford AHP was always there for us and helped make our big dream a reality.
I liked being able to customize the floorplan and details of the house
Good communication throughout the process. From initial inquiry, planning, and construction. We knew what was going to happen and when.
Great custom home builder will go above and beyond for the customer.
I would highly recommend America's Home place.
Scheduling - They were great at keeping me informed.
Areas Of Satisfaction - This is the first time I have dealt with a company like this. I have built a few houses, and this is the first time someone did what they said they would do. They did it for the price they said they would do it for.
Additional Comments - I want to express how smooth it went. Everything they said they were going to do, they did, and did it efficiently and with the professionalism. That's a big thing. The professionalism was bar none. I have never dealt with a company that was as professional and as knowledgeable as they were. If they couldn't do something, they would tell you. They didn't lie or sugar coat it. They never said no to me, but they said no to something a friend of mine wanted to do. Furthermore, they know their limitations, which I don't know what they were. They did everything I needed to be done. Everything came out perfectly, and I am super happy with these guys. I hope they get all the business they can.
America's Home Place, Fredericksburg Office, treats you like family and their goal is to work side by side with you to ensure your desires and needs for your new home are met. They want your path to your new home to be as stress free as possible. They are truly the best!!
Sales Knowledge - Howard was extremely knowledgeable, thorough, polite and his enthusiasm proves he loves his job. The rule is "first impression is the most lasting impression" and Howard made a GREAT first impression when I first spoke with him on the phone and solidified that first impression when we met face to face. He made sure every question got answered right there. I highly recommend the Fredericksburg office!!
Sales Process Satisfactory - Every person at the Fredericksburg office was always accommodating, responsive, caring, knowledgeable, and such a delight to work with throughout the entire home building process. Our first introduction to Greg Gallagher and working with him side by side was just over the top FANTASTIC!!! Greg is absolutely determined to do his very best to ensure you receive top notch A+ service!! And that is exactly what we received. He sealed the deal and then blessed us with Dominic!!
What Would You Do Differently? - Yes. If my budget would have allowed at the time, I would have enlarged the porch/deck area in the back and made the laundry/mudroom larger. And perhaps the garage larger.
Additional Comments - As I mentioned before, the Fredericksburg office staff have become family, most especially Greg and Dominic.
Accessibility, flexibility, guaranteed rates, visual samples, timeliness
PM Communication - Flawlessly Available via text, email, in person and on site meetings
Additional Comments - I sing your praises. Thanks for making the process painless and enjoyable!!!
I am highly satisfied with the work. They were very communicative.
PM Professionalism - Lincoln was always available for contact and took the time to converse with us about possible problems, suggestions on how to fix them or otherwise.
Decision Making Factor - The primary reason we chose America's Home Place was because of their affordability, reliability, and ease of communication and working relationship
Areas Of Satisfaction - America's Home Place exceeded my expectations with the quality, communication, and the work crew. The work crew was exceptionally polite and communicated very well with us. During the build, we were allowed onsite at all times to see the progress. It is an excellent build.
Quality Of Materials - Some wood was damaged but that changed it out quickly
What Would You Do Differently? - I was very pleased with colors and material selection so I don’t think there would be anything
Easy to work with and confident in their ability to build our home.
Scheduling - Yes, AHP always kept us informed.
Decision Making Factor - Reputation we had heard from advertising and quality of the models we visited.
The following is our opinion and some reasons, based upon our recent experience with AHP, as to why we would recommend AHP to a friend or relative: Unfortunately, home construction contractors (very generally speaking) often don't have a great reputation in quality, time frame, completeness, and cost of their work product. Especially the largest outfits and the smallest (mostly individuals) outfits. AHP is in the sweet spot of being large enough to ensure a secure & cost-controlled supply chain of quality materials & appliances, and employ a permanent pool of design and construction professionals along with credentialed professional sales personnel and a representative complement of complete model homes at their regional sales centers. At the same time, they only focus on custom home building for individuals instead of mass-produced cookie-cutter housing projects. AHP's wide selection of pre-existing designs and their capability to offer customized options to modify their existing designs, is impressive. Their offered portfolio covers a wide range of price, floorplan, and size options. Therefore, their teams work closely with each individual purchaser with the objective of meeting or exceeding the desired outcome the customers have decided upon for the contracted price.
Quality Of Materials - 1) The base for the exterior heat exchange unit of the HVAC should have had a level concrete pad installed under it for the composite base underneath the actual heat exchange unit to sit upon. 2) The three-section folding ladder installed for access in the garage ceiling to the attic is made of wood and extremely heavy & dangerously awkward to deploy and to return to its folded & closed position. Aluminum or similar lightweight material would have been MUCH preferable and safer. With those two current exceptions, we have been otherwise quite satisfied with the quality of materials used in the construction of our AHP house.
Condition of Home - Other than some not unexpected initial punch list items that were subsequently corrected, we were very satisfied with the condition of our home upon move-in.
Scheduling - AHP's Chris Munsey and Eric Hess were excellent in keeping us updated on the construction tasks progress.
Areas Of Satisfaction - Construction time speed and budget accuracy & control both happily exceeded our expectations!
PM Professionalism - Never hesitated when I asked a question. Explained in layman's terms and really was a blessing1
PM Problem Resolution - Was always willing to listen and help when needed. We still have an issue on some electrical and final grade things but Quinten is still helping and involved.
Would not contract AHP to build a dog house. Biggest regret of my life!
The group I worked with at America's Home Place was great. They were understanding. They listened to what I wanted and helped to achieve my goal.
Floor Plan / Layout - I like that I put the master on the floor so that I can live here until I am like 100 years old.
Two Favorite Features - My two favorite features in my house are my kitchen and the living room because it is two stories and has a fireplace that goes all the way to the ceiling.
We finished paying for our house bill 2 to 3 months ago and that is still not done, so I'm not happy right now.
Areas Of Satisfaction - Overall, a very good experience
Jesse was very communicative and clearly worked hard to everything right for us
Areas Of Satisfaction - Build quality for the price, Jesse's responsiveness and effort
I am very likely to recommend because it was a very painless and pleasant process
Decision Making Factor - We liked their energy. It felt right after meeting with them and seeing how helpful they were.
Floor Plan / Layout - I like how flexible and helpful they were with finalizing the floor plan
Floor Plan / Layout - I like the size of my kitchen the most.
Two Favorite Features - My favorite features of my home is the high ceiling and the basement.
Fast build.
Decision Making Factor - Ability to start in a timely fashion.
Additional Comments - Harry did a very good job .
Excellent build and price with great team and contractors. I already recommended AHP and they have begun their new home journey.
What Would You Do Differently? - We maximized the home’s potential in our current financial parameters. Nothing could be better unless we had a higher budget
Areas Of Satisfaction - They were very accessible and patient in the early process, we changed our preferences on the aesthetics a lot and they obliged us happily
Getting started was fast and simple. We altered our floor plan by about 15% in one single visit. The architects responded back with some simple but well thought out changes, and in the end, we loved the floor plan. All of the available options were on display in the showroom which made selection day incredibly easy. It was very stress-free to have quality choices, but limited choices. No pouring over websites or driving out of town to the lighting showcase or the plumbing store, and having to make tough decisions. The build was trucking along until hurricane Helene hit. The wind destroyed the not quite complete carport. But they came back and rebuilt it bigger and better built than originally designed - to withstand the next hurricane this time. Of course at no cost to us. One of the dormers was not built to the advertised size. When the project manager, and I discovered this after the house was nearly complete, without any question or hesitation, they rebuilt it.
We recommended them to a friend who subsequently used AHP, and they were just as pleased with their new house.
I highly recommend America Home Place for your next house.
Areas For Improvement - A little clearer communication at times since this was our first time building a home
Areas Of Satisfaction - Friendly and actually mean what they say. Are trustworthy
Exceeding Expectations - The quality check by Kevin was really great. He didn’t miss anything and was knowledgeable about building houses
AHP is very reliable, organized and dependable company. They truly delivered what they promised.
Sales Knowledge - Everyone involved in our build process was an expert in their own specialty.
Salesperson Accessibility - The very first person we talked to stepping into AHP Valdosta office was Beth. She is wonderful to work with, very friendly and always there to address our questions and concerns. She patiently guided us thru the process.
PM Problem Resolution - He is so good at addressing issues that often times he already is resolving the issue even before we can bring it to his attention.
Decision Making Factor - The staff. From Beth, to Jasmine, to Chris (the manager) and our special PM, Chris Newsome. The process. It is well laid out in phases, no guesswork needed.
I would definitely recommend
Salesperson Accessibility - Manuela was absolutely great!!!
Scheduling - I was always informed and kept in the loop with the whole process
Salesperson Accessibility - Janna was awesome. Patience and will to help.
Additional Comments - Overall, it was a nice experience and I would recommend to my friends and family.
We had a very good experience with America’s Home Place. The whole process went very smooth. There was good communication. We had our first home built (by another company) many years ago and it was not a pleasant experience.
So we were extremely pleased when one of my husband’s co-workers recommended America’Home Place. America’s Home Place was able to do it all. They were able customize the house plans to per our specifications and it all turned out beautifully.
Salesperson Accessibility - Amy and her team were very responsive and accessible throughout the building process.
Areas Of Satisfaction - Communication was excellent from all of the project managers and office staff. And we were thrilled at how quickly the whole house building process was completed.
The entire AMH staff were very nice and kept us informed through the entire process. We are thrilled to share that experience with family and friends.
Sales Knowledge - Bill, Bailey and Turner were very knowledgeable about the entire build process and even helped us out regarding a final build design issue.
Trust - AHP was on top of things and made good on promises made after the contract was signed. We had to make a change to the width of one of the bathroom doors so it was handicap accessible. The change fee was clearly understood before we requested the change.
They have all been very professional, friendly, and reliable. Their work is for the most part quality. If you find things, hey address them quickly. For the most part, I have enjoyed the projects. I never thought I would have a process as smooth as this was for building a house.
PM Professionalism - Absolutely, Ben has been reliable and responsive. He has a few things left outstanding, but I have no doubts he will do what he said he will do.
Areas Of Satisfaction - I was shocked that they said it would be done by the end of the year. I don't know how they did it, maybe they had elves working at night. They got it done when they said they would, which is rare in the industry. That was above expectations.
Additional Comments - I love my new home.
Sales Knowledge - Kirk was extremely helpful. Insightful and made the experience very pleasant
We were looking for turnkey construction for our house. AHP is a contractor with turnkey experience.
The whole team from start to finish was great! They made everything seamless. No question or concern was too big or small. Requests were dealt with swiftly.
PM Problem Resolution - Patrick was phenomenal with taking care of concerns. He was actually more critical of some things than I was. Like he was building his own home. Great to work with !
Quality Of Workmanship - Some of the finer details like Caulking and molding could have been better. Some areas were sloppy.
Two Favorite Features - Screened in porch. Kitchen.
Exceeding Expectations - Communication
Additional Comments - They build faster and under budget
Many issues, communication was not good, things not completed as expected, etc...
Our house was built in Florida, and we lived in Alabama at the time of the build. We weren't on site very often to see what was going on. America’s Home Place was very thorough in giving us weekly updates. It all went very smoothly. We did have a contractor change during the build. We were a little worried about the transition, but the new contractor just picked right up and moved forward.
Sales Knowledge - I have nothing negative to say about Beth; however, I am a visual person. I have to see things. I can't just see things in my mind. I wish that prior to the build, we could have had the ability to see what the house was going to look like. Once we made the decision that we were going with America’s Home Place, it would have been nice if Beth had the tools to be able to show us what the house would look like inside and out, especially since we were in Alabama. It would have been easy to just do it over the computer.
PM Professionalism - Chris was the new project manager after the build started. The first contractor left the company, and we were a little worried about the transition. Chris made the effort to come out on a Saturday to see us, because that was when we were in town, so we could meet face to face. He showed us different things. Every week my husband would get a call or text from Chris letting us know what went on the past week and what was going to happen in the next week.
Exceeding Expectations - America's Home Place needs to continue to do everything they have been doing. The weekly updates are great. Having a designer there to help is great. I got a lot of help from Jasmine, the interior designer, there in the office. She was wonderful helping us pick things out. I am not very good at that. Everyone who comes into our house says how wonderful everything looks and works together. I contribute that to Jasmine. The only thing is that I wish America’s Home Place was able to show us the house and what it would look like on the computer in the beginning.
Additional Comments - It was a wonderful experience, and the speed of the build, too, was great. They told us 7-9 months, and we were in here in 6 months. They under-promised and over-delivered.
I had a great relationship with Mr. Ted. He is the home coordinator or building supervisor. He was definitely there for me all the way.
Two Favorite Features - My favorite features in my new home are my widows in my living room, and my deck and I love my front entry of the home. It is beautiful.
Decision Making Factor - They built us a home in 2015 and it was high quality and we knew when we’d build our forever home, we’d want it to be America’s Home Place
America's Home Place was really professional. They communicated, providing information to the client in a good manner. Everything was really good.
PM Professionalism - Todd made a big difference. We spent the most of our time with Todd. He made a big difference. He understood and communicated. He explained things in a simple way to us about the process. He is the reason that we give 5 stars. I spent more time working with him during this process, and he made it easy and clear for us. Step by step. He's a very professional person
Floor Plan / Layout - Together, we found a way to customize my home. That was a plus of working with America's Home Place. I could change anything structurally within the guidelines, which is something most other companies don't allow. They really exceeded my expectations.
Features: Wish List - I would change one closet. I made one at the entrance of the restroom. If I had more knowledge, I would put it behind the shower and move the shower to give more space in the closet. That's not something you would know until you are in the house after it is done.
From start to finish, America's Home Place filled every hope we had and exceeded all expectations.
