Excellent structure quality and construction!!!
Poor service for repair issues
Garman was extremely professional every step of the way.
Anyone looking for a retirement home I would recommend this development.
Garman houses are unique and gives a warmth feeling when you enter any of them.
The quality of the home is not what I expected, so no I wouldn't recommend garmen home.
Looking at the lots (land) that are being built as spec houses by garman it's obvious that more effort is place on those homes then personally built homes.
I have the greatest respect for Garman Builders!
I have called them so many times about cracks in my kitchen and home, and no one has come to fix it. I have reported cracks in the walls, and I need someone to come and repair them. That would be great.
With prior experience in custom home building, I was somewhat concerned about how Garman would perform. However, I would say that my experience with Garman overall exceeded my expectations for this planned community setting. I was very impressed with their system of planning from the structural phase, through the design phase, and onto completion. Everything was well organized and the crew stuck to the proposed schedule, and I was even able to close sooner than originally estimated. I was really pleased with the communication with Ian Hunt, site manager, throughout the final construction phase, and the pictures he sent each week were a nice touch. Since moving in, the customer service team has been very responsive to my concerns, which, today, is most unusual. Thank you Garman Builders for a pleasant experience!
Best builder we have worked with over the years.
I have told our neighbors from our old neighborhood to come live here, as well as family members and friends.
Do not rectify issues with faulty systems. Terrible customer service. Sub-contractors are not consistent with Garman requirements or their own when investigating issues. There were red flags but we didn’t know until after purchase- like saying there was a deck off the back but by definition it was a balcony (a deck has an exit). We pressed the issue and it was only resolved by us paying a fee to fix. This is not the only misrepresentation that occurred. In our listing and from the Garman realtor, it said that our house was the last in phase 9 of the development…. This is not correct. Two more houses were completed after ours to finish out that phases. Also, our home is the only one in the development without stone in the front. When questioned during a HOA meeting and asked customer service it was said that if they continue to have questions have them reach out. I will add that the last two homes in phase 9 also have stone in the front.
Best Builders in the area
This is the 4th home I have built, and Garman took the time to do things right. They were organized and efficient throughout the build process and took care of any issues that arose.
We love our home!
They are easy to work with and very responsive.
Garman produced a very quality home for us and we were met with professionalism at every step of the process.
They built great homes and I love the style. The style of the home is better than other builders.
Garman Builders is recommended as a good builder, and I would recommend Garman Builders to my friends and family as the #1 builder.
Thing everything in these home was clearly thought out. Everything looks great right down to the basement
Once the warranty claim was submitted, they never came to inspect the issue. We still have cracks on our basement floor.
I am disappointed with the quality of my home as well as the overall experience I had with Garman Builders.
The quality was not was I expected for the price that we paid.
The experience from start to finish was very well done. All involved kept us in the loop through the process and updates of the build. The follow through afterward to finalize the puchlist was very much appreciated.
Garman Builders was excellent to work with. Coming in from out-of-state and needing some flexibility with loan options and the timing of the sale of our out-of-state house, Garman was incredibly flexible. We felt like they were always willing to help and find a reasonable solution. As with any build I assume, issues arise, but each time, Garman worked out a reasonable solution with us. We heard the legend from multiple sources — "Garman never misses a deadline" — while hearing from others — "no builder hits the date they give you"... and in the end, Garman had us in our house on the date they originally gave us. The two key roles for us were Design and Project Management. Both were excellent! Kristen, the designer was key in taking our vision from a few photos from Pinterest and turning it into our dream home. There were even multiple times on her days off where she kept communication with us while sorting out details to keep us on schedule. After design, Ian, the project manager took the lead and was excellent as well. He was a great guy, easy to talk to, very knowledgable and trustworthy. His attention to detail was spectacular. And never missed a deadline! The final orientation and walkthrough was very appreciated as well. Overall, we couldn't be happier. We highly recommend Garman Builders!
Overall, we are very satisfied with Garman Builders. We built our home while living in Western PA. Our trips back and forth were productive and we received timely responses every time we had a question. I must admit, we didn't always like the answer we were given and we did not push back. Anything that we had concerns about during construction generally were handled to our satisfaction.
We love our Monroe home! The floor plan works really well for us and makes entertaining a breeze. No wasted space, which is exactly what we wanted in a new build!
They're a great builder.
There were a lot of times we were unhappy, and also times the service was great. Being told by the project manager to "trust the process" was only viewed as condecending as rain water poured down the walls of our house that was under roof and scheduled to be drywalled the next day. Had we not been there to see the house, the issue would have gone unnoticed and damaged our newly drywalled home.
The third-party contractors were not satisfactory. It has been a year, and a contractor is coming today to fix the tub for the third time.
Garman Builders is one of the more reputable builders in our area. Communication is exceptional. Their craftsmanship and customer service are extraordinary.
Great company. Great builders.
Yes i would recomend to a friend and i have already done so...a few time.
The sub-contractors were sub-par.
Everyone was professional and accommodating. We have built 5 houses over the past 25 years and without a doubt our experience with Garman was the best.
The Garman team is so nice to work with!
Still waiting to get bathroom floor fixed … called and left message no return call …
I was very well pleased with the new purchase of my first home with Garman Builders.
I would have to advise on how little attention is given to the lanscaping.
I like the design of the house. They have multiple options to choose from.
They were wonderful.
Beautiful homes, many choices of styles, great Design Center.
When we first moved in, there were still a few minor issues and problems.
We feel it is a well built house, should have more parking
I would highly recommend Garman Builders to a friend. The craftsmanship of the home building and the process from start to finish with the building process were impeccable. The house is gorgeous, well laid out, and the building timeline was thorough. Our biggest hiccup just came in delays in communication with our sales rep. Overall we would still highly recommend Garman.
Overall, it was an excellent experience. The true measure of a partner is how they respond to issues and problems. No project is without them. It easy to be happy happy, friendly, and satisfies when everything is going fine. Its another story when problems pop up. Building a home during the pandemic its own special challenges From top to bottom, Garman dealt with every problem, hurdle, and issue with practicality, fairness, and professionalism. The result of our experience with Garman is a beautiful, high quality, well built home that we thoroughly enjoy. Everyone who has visited our home has complimented it highly.
We had some good and bad things happen. I don't think I would recommend them to a friend.
Bought a model home
I definitely would.
We had an excellent experience throughout the buying process. The design team was great in helping us to replace backordered flooring that matched our room designs when they experienced supply chain issues. Great service and we appreciated the people we worked with from start to finish.
