Drake Homes Corporation

Aug 2024

This is the second time I have built a home so have some basis for comparison. Poor craftsmanship and quality and communication all over (we were nowhere near as important as the Texans building two homes) but I think the best example of their failures is the "color chart." This is the list of selected colors, finishings, etc. When there was a discrepancy between our choice and their work, owner Avery Adams explained it wasn't a contract. So we were held to our choices, but they could make changes (for the cheaper, worse) as they saw fit. In our color chart, for example, we signed off on half light garage doors with built in blinds. They installed half light doors with no blinds. When we asked them to install our selection, they refused and said not to worry, we hadn't paid for the cheaper doors they put in. By that logic they could have put in cheaper flooring, windows, faucets, and refused to change any of that. But our fixed cost contract did not change. We paid the contacted amount without receiving what we selected.
