This is what happens when what used to be skilled trades; now have become low paying labor jobs. Sad thing is the prices went up and the quality went down.
There building homes to fast in a moth you have the land and homes going up my friends house was 480k and it’s a joke looks nice but cheap and you can see the speed that it was build you have a year to get shut fixed for free but your brown Mexican can do much about I will say that maybe measuring and weight the stuff might help but that’s also time consuming
Wtf what kind of inspectors do u people have out there. Homes in Nevada r cheaply built for what ive seen out there. And im talking about good areas henderson and summerlin
Your crazy AF! Those drywall cracks are minimum. The molding splitting is caused from lots of temperature variation in the home which is caused by the owner. The builder should buy back all the homes that passed inspection from the city in the first place??? The city gave the builder a certificate of occupancy which proves the home meets all code and compliance. And you feel that years later or months later it’s the builders fault? A) the builder coulda had shitty sub contractors who cut corner with material and now it’s coming undone. B)That home looks like a cheap mass produced home called a trac home. They are built and the cheapest of levels. Only because the consumer demands a home in that price range. Your comments show your intelligence level. Probably a Democrat if I had to guess. Or part of the woke crowd.
Seems like a good thing to do these days if find an old house and fix it up. Call around and find a reputable renovation place that has been around for a couple decades or so.
Gives you that sinking feeling. I worked for a Development Company as a Customer Services Rep. For the most part the homes were built well, but some had things like a spring under the house, or a very steep hill out back where the drainage couldn't handle the runoff water during a storm. Things like that are manageable, but a crappy foundation is a different story which would take some engineering to solve, and expensive.
I don't trust any new home construction anywhere in the states. As fast as they're going up there's bound to be some shortcuts taken and issues that follow.
My partner and I call them “luxury production” they pop them up so fast, even the million dollar homes, they’re built so poorly. We’re contractors that are always hired to come back and fix things on new builds. So aaf
Beazer has been know for a long time to be the most jacked up builder. There should be a class action suit! I don't understand how they are still around!
@@Dobiegal i love David Weekly homes....had one which I regret selling. Better to buy quality. Bad construction can ruin your health...seriously. Chinese plywood is very toxic. Mold issues are also rampant today. Be careful people.
It’s not the builders fault. It’s the buyers fault for buying homes they know are 💩. The homes past building inspection from the city so it’s not on the builder.
When we looked at a Beazer model about 6 months ago we immediately noticed the cheaply made home. We ran from that builder. It’s almost better to find a older home that was built in the 50s or 60s here in town and remodel it. The home is more solid than anything else that you’re going to find in the new housing unless you have a few million for a quality new build. But you shouldn’t have to be a millionaire to get a quality built home. These builders should be held accountable for shit like this.
These people don’t deserve this. I feel sorry for everyone. You should not be going through this paying that kind of money! Total disgrace! I hope they get help fast!
Yeah you can’t trust nobody and these people are buying homes by people that are illiterate in their native language. Lmao. This is on the buyers not the builders
If you're the owner, read what someone wrote above: "Class action lawsuit, Beazer should have to buy back all those homes." My guess is that it's an issue with the soil and foundation. I witnessed it in another state before. A soils engineer was supposed to study the soil and write a report on it before any foundation was done, to the best of my knowledge.
Any mass-produced new build could have similar issues. It's not limited to KB and also varies a lot regionally. That's why people need to do their own inspections throughout the construction process. The KB home I'm living in is still standing strong after 15 years except a leaky window several years ago.
Im in California in a Beazer new Built home. Nothing but cracks all over. the walls all paper thin. my ceiling is paper thin...I can literally hear family talking downstairs like I was downstairs!
They probably figure that if there’s enough warranty claims and they can’t pay up, they’ll just file for bankruptcy protection as a company but all those executives already made their money. They’ll just set up a brand spanking new homebuilder company after that. Hopefully if it comes to that point, they will be barred by the bankruptcy court from being part of that industry again. Always follow the money and you will know why people and companies behave a certain way.
You watch too many movies. The fact is these homes passed inspection and got a certificate of occupancy which means it’s up to code. These people and the news are complains about minor cosmetic issues like drywall stucco and concrete cracks. Houses settle and the hot summer days and cool nights makes stick frames homes twist and turn which cause cracks. You just fill it with mud later on, lil paint touch up and back to life you go. The comments here are insane
@@marioremondino9837 codes are bare minimums…how do u think those codes passed? That’s why some builders don’t build as much in places like CA because the codes make it more expensive. People who want to build better than “up to code” - their homes actually survive hurricanes or wildfires.
I poured concrete for a Beazer Home subdivision back in 2018 and earlier. The company used a less expensive and weaker 2500 psi concrete on their slab foundations. The standard for residential buildings is 3000 psi. I remember coming home and telling my wife “and they’re selling those homes for $400,000”. Don’t buy one.
I had a new Beazer Condo in Middle Tennessee. One day I heard a loud crash. My son went upstairs and it was the large bathroom mirror that had been glued but no support anchors. If one of us had been in the bathroom we could have been killed.
File a legal claim immediately. All homes are construction guaranteed to include all electrical appliances and the developer is responsible to repair or refund the money. If not, file a complaint with the Registrar of Contractors to have his license suspended.
News flash. Builder warranties are 1 year . You usually have the major problems happen about 2 -5 yrs in. So, who and what are u going to take to the courts . Any one getting into a new construction home better do there homework as far as what builder to go with. I personally would never buy a new home from a builder ,just cause i know the cheap materials they put in.If u want quality u contract it out yourself and baby sit , cause if you dont these contractors will take short cuts and that's how all the problems start popping up down the road
As a Realtor, I cringe when clients want a new home. I recommend homes and neighborhoods that are 30 years old at minimum. That's a good amount of time to know what's going on with the house and the neighborhood.
You know the guys that are hanging out outside Home Depot those are the guys that the contractors pick up to build those homes so they can pocket money they don't want to pay a skilled Tradesman
That's literally who they hire. When I was a kid, I knew undocumented people who worked in construction building homes out in the inland empire in SoCal. Now I realize how that was not ideal.. I mean, they had no formal training in construction. But they were cheap labor ;)
Goes to show you haven’t been on a build site and only watch from parking lot. I’ve work with those contractors that pick those workers up and they mainly do the repetitive labor like clean up, carry cement/dirt, mix, digging etc.
I'm guessing all their foundations are sinking. It happens alot here in North Texas. The clay soil is problematic. My daughter's home just had it's foundation lifted, and it was built in 2012.
I read this in the paper a few days ago a homeowner is suing a local builder because the contractors put light switches that don't turn anything on, tile floors glued directly to the plywood subflooring without backer board, that cracked the first time the homeowner walked on them, bathroom tiles installed in a shower without green board or vapor barrier the shower leaked every time someone in that house took a shower, a well that was not properly dug, and a septic field that was built in the wrong place and up hill.
This is why we chose a home that was older in a well established area. I'm too scared of this type of stuff. My parents want to buy a new home and it worries me.
Its called doing your due diligence: Get the architect's plans/blue prints, find out the materials used to build the house, speak to the contractor who built the house and inspect all the documents filed by the inspectors. Go over the entire house with your eyes. Talk with the Neighbors and ask them are they happy with their houses.. Last be not least, research the actually ground/land the house is built on. Find out if the ground is soft or not... Shit, if you're spending half a million dollars on a house, you better put in the work to find out everything about the house. No damn house should start falling about after a few months. It should take at least 10 to 15 years before repairs are needed on a new construction house.
@@marioremondino9837 So, a custom built home? Most new communities are track houses with most homes being built by the same company and contractors.. What people should be doing is a home inspection instead of worrying about if they have enough space in the closet for their Kohl's department store wardrobe. Seems like buyers put more effort into finding a house with the right kitchen counters instead of looking into housing structure and the construction process...
The foundations are settling. The cracks are a symptom. To solve the problem, rebuild. Every time it rains, it will only accelerate the process. It is a sad thing to buy a home and find out it is not safe. The foundation is not going to stop moving. They would have to lift the home off the foundation of block the foundation up. Then take an enormous amount of sand and/or soil out and stablize the soil and pump it back under the home. This act would cost half or more of what the house is worth. Beazer is not going to take the hit. It would mean admitting they built on soft sand or earth in the area. Which calculate in millions of dollars of restitution. They do not want to do that either.
@@chuckh4077 I had an home inspector for my new construction and he was lousy. I paid him for nothing because now I am finding major issues to the home that he overlooked or like my friend said, he probably knows the builder. You can’t trust them now a days either.
That ground is so unstable you would have problems setting even a mobile home on it.. it's the dessert.. not a good place to live..this is awful.. hope these people get their money back. Builders are just greedy.. I feel so bad for every one of you.. God bless you all.. fight back..
Every one should know and understand that so called 'to code' means absolute minimum standards. And those are government standards ,No one should trust Government standards.
It's not just happening to new homes. It is happening to every industries. The craftsmanship and integrity is non existing. You pay good money but their items or services in return are crap. And they have the guts to call themselves professionals.
Every home before it is completed goes threw several inspections by the city to make sure every step of the job was built correctly, at this point they should also sue the city for signing off the inspection cards smh
Bull crap! We had a stove hook-up for the washer/ dryer, I called building manager, and he said it was up to code! While we weren't at the house, someone came in and changed it!! You can't have so many errors with inspectors. No one is watching!
2:20 The response letter from BEAZER is a "WE HAVE BEEN RETAINED" letter from a Law Firm. When you write a letter expecting a personal response and THAT letter is sent, you HAVE TO KNOW TO CONTACT your OWN LAWYER because some sh*t is about to go down way worse than what you are already experiencing. These builders knew exactly what they were doing.
There really is no soil in the Vegas, We watched how our home was built in a very high end community. They build on top of the desert boulders! I tried to put in a steak to hang a bird feeder and couldn't get it into the ground. The water is so hard every home must have a water softener. Even then it only takes a few years for the plumbing to completely clog up. The normal warranty on a new home is 10 years.
Florida has hard water also. A lot of times people install a water filtration system before the water softener so all of that mineral deposit is removed before the water goes to the softener.
The house is settling and the also did not find the lowest point of the house and then cut studs to match that height. Build exteriors first then put your laser up. It's an extra 2 to 3k for this but you don't run into the problem of having your trusses hit and not hit interior and exterior walls. Also piece rate( the job pays (x amount) finish fast and your hourly goes up...finish slow and your pay goes down.) Quality suffers everytime!
What do you expect ? Cheap material, cheap labor, Greedy General contractors. Plus! They gotta pump these homes out asap with the housing market so crazy
That's what happens when a business does not have a customer focused quality control program in place. Schedule is king and covering mistakes is a common practice.
Let me guess, Beazer only gave them a 10 or 5 year warranty; that’s why they are using bandaids to fix things. Every new house will only last 10 years; even the $1,000,000 homes will collapse due to poor construction
Where have I heard this story before? Oh yes, 2000 / 2001 Avondale ,AZ. Half of the homes in my neighborhood were bad and Beazer played the same game. Wow!
My moms new house is like this. Not even a year old yet take forever to build and the cabinets are falling off the wall. It’s her 3rd new build. The first home was pretty cheap for price and lacked a lot of design detail but man was it sturdy, went up in about 2 weeks and had large rooms too (Fox & Jacobs by Centex.)
Sears kit homes were ordered through catalogs and ship by mail, sold these homes for around 35 years. A lot of the Sears homes are still standing. Beazer wants to make quick profits by hiring unskilled labor, using cheap materials, and covering up things that aren’t up to code or possibly NV codes are more laxed than other states. It’s sad that many young people don’t want to learn the trades and also builders don’t want to hire skilled tradesmen.
Kit homes will always be better than this build on-site prefabs. At least steel-based homes with leveled foundations. These people building homes clearly know nothing about building homes.
Usually an inspector signs off on every phase of construction county is responsible for inspection to insure this dont happen i dont know about codes in your area but look into it they should be held accountable too.
bribery can blind the inspector to look the other way. Maybe it up to code as bare minimum but not at higher standards that last longer then 1 month after they move in.
I think anybody who has bought a beazer home needs to get together with a class action lawsuit that is ridiculous none of those problems should be occurring they knew about the soil and they didn't disclose it on purpose they owe those families millions in my opinion and Beezer should not be allowed to build anything any longer not even a chicken coop
Here in Virginia, our home and our neighbors and many others.... too low quality that water has been pouring in our bedrooms for months... we paid $640k!!!!
So the whole neighborhood is going down. That's a cryin' shame. At least if the rest of the neighborhood has value, you might be able to salvage some value for your home. But if the entire neighborhood is going to rot, you're just in a big mess.
@@eyespy0070 that doesn't matter. They don't have to know about construction. They do know about reputation and I'm sure they know which construction companies have shoddy reputations in the housing world.
@@apexone5502 they don't have to know about construction. I was a real estate agent for 15 years. Real estate agents aren't required to know anyone that. Those house flipping shows constantly show the agents bamboozled by construction issues after they buy doing rehab. You need to realize that the real truth is no one is going to look out for you.
@@eyespy0070 I know that they don't have to know about construction. That's what I was saying but I mistyped and said "do t" instead of 'don't,' so it read as if I said that they do need to know construction. I never implied that they have to warn anyone or that they should tell clients anything. I was just saying that I'm sure that word gets around in those circles on which construction companies are reputable and which ones are of ill repute.
I used to own an after construction cleanup business and was horrified at the construction. These $300k+ homes had gaps around the doors and windows, among other things. I always felt horrible because I knew the buyer wouldn't spot it until it was too late. Here, they hire illegals dirt cheap, and use the cheapest materials. I was forced to clean doo doo from a tub and floors in homes where the plumbing worked. If they're doing that, you know they don't care about the work they're doing.
It is midnight. I cant sleep in this new $640k Beazer Home in Virginia coz I have to empty the bowls that are filling up from the leakage of the roof. I am waiting for the rain to stop at 3 am and hopefully go to sleep by then. If anyone wants to cover this story, plz contact me. It has been 6 months, they just put a band-aid and leave... no one should waste their hard earned money as we did.
If this is what passes for homebuilding quality these days, I’m concerned for homebuyers. Like cars, it feels like we can’t make things to last anymore.
Planned obsolescence was implemented right after WW2. They saw it as a way to get the economy going again after the war. Lightbulbs made today are WORSE than lightbulbs 50 years ago.
Wow these poor home owners.. the builders should have disclosed what type of ground these homes were on.. it's unstable.. sue them, get your money back..
ALL government entities are IMMUNE from having ANY liability on these homes in the State of Nevada. It's the builders and subcontractors that are responsible. NRS 40.
Ann and El Campo was my home. Same thing happened to our homes. Class action really got us enough monies to move. As lawyers and specialists took all the money. Had to short sale. This video brings back bad memories. I feel for all these families.
@@disneyfan9099 I never said a new Beazer house, I believe the all need refunds so they can go purchase new houses from another builder. Beazer builds trash homes.
Oh, these poor people. I bought a new home once and never had these problems. Yes, we had one or two cracks and a small issue in the laundry area, but that was it. When I sold the home 13 years later, the person doing the termite report for the buyer said it was the cleanest home (construction wise) they ever saw. Only had one small issue under the home of a very few small pieces of lumber under the there. Grateful for this report. I am looking to buy again and would love another new home but I will stay away from Beazer homes.
I hired a Carpenter to look over my home before the money. Found so many issues they sold it to someone else. I even questioned the state as to why it passed inspection. got nothing
The builders (Baezer) know EXACTLY who their contractors are!!! This ain't their first rodeo. They have built homes in several states that are falling apart. They are a fraudulent builder with a very revealing history. These poorly built homes are not a coincidence. The many lawsuits are all the proof you need!
@@coriebarnes8680 Contractors come and go. Most builders including Beazer hire these contractor in bulk for cheap labor. Majority of these contractors probably don't have legal papers to work in the US. If you think about it, USA is run by immigrant blue collared workers. Some can stay here without being caught and some are deported. Majority of these jobs, no american wants to do such staying in a hot sun building house. Its not only beazer who has potential to make crappy house but other builders as well. I currently have a beazer house with not issues but have some friends who had bad experience as well. Like i said, it really depends on the contractors and most important, the assigned construction manager. Our construction manager was always on top of his employees. Also, you have to be sure when buying any home from any builder to do your due diligence and hire a home inspector for all 3 phases. To cut this story short, houses in the USA are made cheap hence they are finish within a couples months and when a weather disaster comes, they will fly off by a single 40 MPH wind versus houses in foreign countries can take years to complete and can go to severe weather conditions and still standing like brand new.
@@bj10jgo While I see your point, I'm still not giving Beazer a pass on this. They are business people. Any REAL and REPUTABLE company would do a background check on another company to verify their history within the industry. That's quite easy to do, thanks to the internet. Even I can do that! But, aside from that, there are other sources to verify. NO ONE can convince me that Beazer doesn't know that these contractors are shady especially when they have so many complaints from customers. This is what happens when you look for and accept the lowest bidder ALL THE TIME!!! Like I said, Beazer knows EXACTLY who they are hiring to build these houses! If they wanted the Gold Standard 🥇 they would seek out those contractors because they DO exist and Beazer is very aware of this fact. There's no excuse for them not to do their due diligence, especially since they have so many lawsuits against them. But, as usual, they will take the easy way out and file bankruptcy and skip town. The usual corporate crooks. 😔 And you are right! It is wise for the homeowner-to-be to hire their own inspectors for their home building project from start to finish. You were smart. Most people aren't like you. But, you better believe that people are gonna be cautious after these news stories run their course.
@@coriebarnes8680 Did you have a beazer home built in this community? Before i bought my Beazer home 6 years ago, i did a lot of research of different builders and i did read some lawsuits back then about beazer but if you think about it, you won't find a perfect builder. Every builder will have some kind of negative review you will find online. Most people tend to complain and write things online when they had a bad experience but its very rare for people to take their time to write something good when they had a good experience.
Before l started the video, I knew it was Las Vegas. Idk what’s going on there or the laws. It seems like a lot builders have problems with building bad homes in NV
The same thing happened in Dallas Texas some years ago. The city made the contractor come right back out to fix all of them. Doing short cuts on houses will not pay off in the long run. Just use good material for the homes to last a lifetime.
Beware of Menifee Woodshop which is another business name Walter Lee Mitchell Jr uses to build new homes and remodel homes in San Diego, and southern California area.
My brothers neighborhood has been involved in a class action suit for years with the builder, 500k-1m homes. Over 100 homes. Plumbing problems, etc. Years! The master bath toilet stopped and a shower in a hall bath. Structural problems with counters that leak water, cabinets, etc. It took about 12 months for problems to appear. It's not Beazer, it's another builder and a huge one.
Builders expect uneducated uninformed buyers because experienced buyers get 2 inspections, PRE SHEETROCK, and final inspections, which if any defects with an experienced inspector finds flaws, never sign at closing till ALL is fixed.

@@marioremondino9837 codes are bare minimums…how do u think those codes passed? That’s why some builders don’t build as much in places like CA because the codes make it more expensive.
People who want to build better than “up to code” - their homes actually survive hurricanes or wildfires.
100 year old homes still standing strong with stone foundations and theeen… there are these houses. SMH!
Old houses are the best
Old home have pier and beam foundation s

I poured concrete for a Beazer Home subdivision back in 2018 and earlier. The company used a less expensive and weaker 2500 psi concrete on their slab foundations. The standard for residential buildings is 3000 psi. I remember coming home and telling my wife “and they’re selling those homes for $400,000”. Don’t buy one.
These complaints make me wonder if the whole development isn’t built on a sandy wash.
I had a new Beazer Condo in Middle Tennessee. One day I heard a loud crash. My son went upstairs and it was the large bathroom mirror that had been glued but no support anchors. If one of us had been in the bathroom we could have been killed.
🤦♂️
File a legal claim immediately. All homes are construction guaranteed to include all electrical appliances and the developer is responsible to repair or refund the money. If not, file a complaint with the Registrar of Contractors to have his license suspended.
News flash. Builder warranties are 1 year . You usually have the major problems happen about 2 -5 yrs in. So, who and what are u going to take to the courts . Any one getting into a new construction home better do there homework as far as what builder to go with. I personally would never buy a new home from a builder ,just cause i know the cheap materials they put in.If u want quality u contract it out yourself and baby sit , cause if you dont these contractors will take short cuts and that's how all the problems start popping up down the road
If a person steals $350,000 they would go to jail but if you have a contactors licence you can steal million,s
I live in the Houston area in a new Beazer home. The poor quality must be everywhere, not just Vegas. Lessoned learned, never again.
As a Realtor, I cringe when clients want a new home. I recommend homes and neighborhoods that are 30 years old at minimum. That's a good amount of time to know what's going on with the house and the neighborhood.
You know the guys that are hanging out outside Home Depot those are the guys that the contractors pick up to build those homes so they can pocket money they don't want to pay a skilled Tradesman
😲😲
That's literally who they hire. When I was a kid, I knew undocumented people who worked in construction building homes out in the inland empire in SoCal. Now I realize how that was not ideal.. I mean, they had no formal training in construction. But they were cheap labor ;)
@@---un5mt Me too. I knew someone who would pick up odd drywall jobs at building sites, for extra money and not have to have a regular day job.
Goes to show you haven’t been on a build site and only watch from parking lot. I’ve work with those contractors that pick those workers up and they mainly do the repetitive labor like clean up, carry cement/dirt, mix, digging etc.
Yeah, I brought this house last year. In Las Vegas NV. Right before the covid hit. We have so many cracks in our walla and grout.
These homes go up so fast nowadays ...I’d rather buy an older home! Good luck to these people!
Pretty much everything made today, from toasters to houses , are substandard crap.
So true
And least the low end stuff is…
I was interested in a Beazer home. I’m glad to see this video.
I'm guessing all their foundations are sinking. It happens alot here in North Texas. The clay soil is problematic. My daughter's home just had it's foundation lifted, and it was built in 2012.
I've talked to contractors who say sometimes they just pay to get the home inspector to pass it sad but true
That's why you pay for your own home Inspection. After making sure the home builders didn't use the same home inspector company. 2nd opinion.
@@chuckh4077 you as I both know people don't like filling out paperwork
Yeah that never happens the inspectors are just incompetent majority can’t even read plans
@@DoorTrash haha you wish they didn't but they do..why do you think they never learn how to read plans?
I read this in the paper a few days ago a homeowner is suing a local builder because the contractors put light switches that don't turn anything on, tile floors glued directly to the plywood subflooring without backer board, that cracked the first time the homeowner walked on them, bathroom tiles installed in a shower without green board or vapor barrier the shower leaked every time someone in that house took a shower, a well that was not properly dug, and a septic field that was built in the wrong place and up hill.
This is why we chose a home that was older in a well established area. I'm too scared of this type of stuff. My parents want to buy a new home and it worries me.
Its called doing your due diligence:
Get the architect's plans/blue prints, find out the materials used to build the house, speak to the contractor who built the house and inspect all the documents filed by the inspectors. Go over the entire house with your eyes. Talk with the Neighbors and ask them are they happy with their houses..
Last be not least, research the actually ground/land the house is built on. Find out if the ground is soft or not...
Shit, if you're spending half a million dollars on a house, you better put in the work to find out everything about the house. No damn house should start falling about after a few months. It should take at least 10 to 15 years before repairs are needed on a new construction house.
New homes are best way to go right. now . Just avoid the mass produced trac homes. Like in this video.
@@marioremondino9837
So, a custom built home?
Most new communities are track houses with most homes being built by the same company and contractors.. What people should be doing is a home inspection instead of worrying about if they have enough space in the closet for their Kohl's department store wardrobe.
Seems like buyers put more effort into finding a house with the right kitchen counters instead of looking into housing structure and the construction process...
@@mamadouaziza2536 give mommy back her phone. typical monday morning quarterbacking, from a douche bag.
The foundations are settling. The cracks are a symptom. To solve the problem, rebuild. Every time it rains, it will only accelerate the process. It is a sad thing to buy a home and find out it is not safe. The foundation is not going to stop moving. They would have to lift the home off the foundation of block the foundation up. Then take an enormous amount of sand and/or soil out and stablize the soil and pump it back under the home. This act would cost half or more of what the house is worth. Beazer is not going to take the hit. It would mean admitting they built on soft sand or earth in the area. Which calculate in millions of dollars of restitution. They do not want to do that either.
Caveat Emptor...
Buy your own people. Always.
You can see around the toilet the Tiles
weren’t put down properly.
Thats why home inspection is needed before buying a home. They would issues with the home beforehand
@@chuckh4077 I had an home inspector for my new construction and he was lousy. I paid him for nothing because now I am finding major issues to the home that he overlooked or like my friend said, he probably knows the builder. You can’t trust them now a days either.
Totally unfair to all those families . Refund or rebuild .
That ground is so unstable you would have problems setting even a mobile home on it.. it's the dessert.. not a good place to live..this is awful.. hope these people get their money back. Builders are just greedy.. I feel so bad for every one of you.. God bless you all.. fight back..
They are just riding out the statute of limitation for the homeowners to sue the developer. Sue them TODAY. Don't wait until it's too late.
Every one should know and understand that so called 'to code' means absolute minimum standards. And those are government standards ,No one should trust Government standards.
Those goes with our food too. Things that are "acceptable" are in reality slowly killing us.
Now I don’t feel bad about my 127 year old home
I'll bet you have the BEST ever built home. It's still lasting all of this time. I would be happy to pay to fix up/repair ANYTHING in that home.💖
It's not just happening to new homes. It is happening to every industries. The craftsmanship and integrity is non existing. You pay good money but their items or services in return are crap. And they have the guts to call themselves professionals.
Thank you for this information. I was closer to purchasing a beazer home and aftet watching this, I wont move forward with this.
Every home before it is completed goes threw several inspections by the city to make sure every step of the job was built correctly, at this point they should also sue the city for signing off the inspection cards smh
Bull crap! We had a stove hook-up for the washer/ dryer, I called building manager, and he said it was up to code! While we weren't at the house, someone came in and changed it!! You can't have so many errors with inspectors. No one is watching!
2:20 The response letter from BEAZER is a "WE HAVE BEEN RETAINED" letter from a Law Firm. When you write a letter expecting a personal response and THAT letter is sent, you HAVE TO KNOW TO CONTACT your OWN LAWYER because some sh*t is about to go down way worse than what you are already experiencing. These builders knew exactly what they were doing.
There really is no soil in the Vegas, We watched how our home was built in a very high end community. They build on top of the desert boulders! I tried to put in a steak to hang a bird feeder and couldn't get it into the ground. The water is so hard every home must have a water softener. Even then it only takes a few years for the plumbing to completely clog up.
The normal warranty on a new home is 10 years.
Florida has hard water also. A lot of times people install a water filtration system before the water softener so all of that mineral deposit is removed before the water goes to the softener.
stake not steak
Should always get a good inspection before you buy even when new.
Isn't there a County/city inspector that had to approve each step of the work before continuing ? 🤔
I have a beazer home here in Texas and it's in great shape. Hope they do right by these homeowners
The house is settling and the also did not find the lowest point of the house and then cut studs to match that height. Build exteriors first then put your laser up. It's an extra 2 to 3k for this but you don't run into the problem of having your trusses hit and not hit interior and exterior walls.
Also piece rate( the job pays (x amount) finish fast and your hourly goes up...finish slow and your pay goes down.) Quality suffers everytime!
they are going to keep putting band aids on until your warranty ends --- then they'll ignore you.... you got taken
Big facts
Never buying a home from Beazer. That's for sure!
What do you expect ? Cheap material, cheap labor, Greedy General contractors. Plus! They gotta pump these homes out asap with the housing market so crazy
Omg what a nightmare! These builders should be in prison!
The home buyers need to be reimbursed . Beazer needs to purchase the homes back from the home buyers.
Thanks for doing this story.
LOL...Yeah...No...That ain't happening...EVER..
I wanted to build my home from the ground up because I love the floor plan but this is make us reconsider!!!
Yes, reconsider. It is not worth it.
That's what happens when a business does not have a customer focused quality control program in place.
Schedule is king and covering mistakes is a common practice.
Let me guess, Beazer only gave them a 10 or 5 year warranty; that’s why they are using bandaids to fix things. Every new house will only last 10 years; even the $1,000,000 homes will collapse due to poor construction
Not in Massachusetts it's 1 year warranty
That's a damn shame
I also see that they are selling first time buyers who are non the wiser. It’s a scam.
Where have I heard this story before? Oh yes, 2000 / 2001 Avondale ,AZ. Half of the homes in my neighborhood were bad and Beazer played the same game. Wow!
My daughter lives in Avondale. What neighborhood was your house?
@@janebeatty9472 I don't remember the name. Indian School Rd.was behind me and I lived on Dana Ln.
@@vitahenry2197 You we’re further South than my daughter.
My moms new house is like this. Not even a year old yet take forever to build and the cabinets are falling off the wall. It’s her 3rd new build. The first home was pretty cheap for price and lacked a lot of design detail but man was it sturdy, went up in about 2 weeks and had large rooms too (Fox & Jacobs by Centex.)
I just bought my home 1950 built still strong 💪 no problems with it, these homes that are built so fast, so many problems
Sears kit homes were ordered through catalogs and ship by mail, sold these homes for around 35 years. A lot of the Sears homes are still standing.
Beazer wants to make quick profits by hiring unskilled labor, using cheap materials, and covering up things that aren’t up to code or possibly NV codes are more laxed than other states. It’s sad that many young people don’t want to learn the trades and also builders don’t want to hire skilled tradesmen.
Kit homes will always be better than this build on-site prefabs. At least steel-based homes with leveled foundations. These people building homes clearly know nothing about building homes.
"The American Dream " is really a nightmare
Usually an inspector signs off on every phase of construction county is responsible for inspection to insure this dont happen i dont know about codes in your area but look into it they should be held accountable too.
bribery can blind the inspector to look the other way. Maybe it up to code as bare minimum but not at higher standards that last longer then 1 month after they move in.
Built to code it may be, but does not mean guality or longevity.
That’s Vegas. Bribery is currency
They should all be given their money back
My house has been "settling" for a hundred years and has no where near these issues.
Well, at least we know now, NEVER to purchase a Beazer home. What a trashy organization.
I think anybody who has bought a beazer home needs to get together with a class action lawsuit that is ridiculous none of those problems should be occurring they knew about the soil and they didn't disclose it on purpose they owe those families millions in my opinion and Beezer should not be allowed to build anything any longer not even a chicken coop
It seems that the home owners should be able to sue and get out of their mortgage.
Here in Virginia, our home and our neighbors and many others.... too low quality that water has been pouring in our bedrooms for months... we paid $640k!!!!
This just makes me sick!
They just gonna keep "putting a band aid" on it until the warranty expires then its, too bad..
These contractors should be ashamed of themselves
So the whole neighborhood is going down. That's a cryin' shame. At least if the rest of the neighborhood has value, you might be able to salvage some value for your home. But if the entire neighborhood is going to rot, you're just in a big mess.
Welcome to the new america where nobody do their jobs and still get paid.
That must be why the realtors I knew who were pushing Beazer homes all moved out of the state a few years ago. Glad I dodged that bullet.
Realtors know nothing about construction
@@eyespy0070 that doesn't matter. They don't have to know about construction. They do know about reputation and I'm sure they know which construction companies have shoddy reputations in the housing world.
@@apexone5502 no not necessarily.
@@apexone5502 they don't have to know about construction. I was a real estate agent for 15 years. Real estate agents aren't required to know anyone that.
Those house flipping shows constantly show the agents bamboozled by construction issues after they buy doing rehab.
You need to realize that the real truth is no one is going to look out for you.
@@eyespy0070 I know that they don't have to know about construction. That's what I was saying but I mistyped and said "do t" instead of 'don't,' so it read as if I said that they do need to know construction. I never implied that they have to warn anyone or that they should tell clients anything. I was just saying that I'm sure that word gets around in those circles on which construction companies are reputable and which ones are of ill repute.
This is why I bought a 20 yr old home
I used to own an after construction cleanup business and was horrified at the construction. These $300k+ homes had gaps around the doors and windows, among other things. I always felt horrible because I knew the buyer wouldn't spot it until it was too late. Here, they hire illegals dirt cheap, and use the cheapest materials. I was forced to clean doo doo from a tub and floors in homes where the plumbing worked. If they're doing that, you know they don't care about the work they're doing.
We in in a beazer home in Virginia and it was amazing. We absolutely loved it, I'm shocked!
This is the exact reason why we would never buy a slab house!!
It is midnight. I cant sleep in this new $640k Beazer Home in Virginia coz I have to empty the bowls that are filling up from the leakage of the roof. I am waiting for the rain to stop at 3 am and hopefully go to sleep by then. If anyone wants to cover this story, plz contact me. It has been 6 months, they just put a band-aid and leave... no one should waste their hard earned money as we did.
Beazer builds homes for shareholders, not homeowners.
My home was built in 1967 and solid !
If this is what passes for homebuilding quality these days, I’m concerned for homebuyers. Like cars, it feels like we can’t make things to last anymore.
Planned obsolescence was implemented right after WW2. They saw it as a way to get the economy going again after the war. Lightbulbs made today are WORSE than lightbulbs 50 years ago.
Wow these poor home owners.. the builders should have disclosed what type of ground these homes were on.. it's unstable.. sue them, get your money back..
It's the desert,it sinks and shifts in some places
I pray they are able to get there money back and buy safe home for their families.
County division permit center is responsible and should be fired.
Those people can be bought off. I saw it happen personally, here in Rocklin, CA (city permitting dept.)
ALL government entities are IMMUNE from having ANY liability on these homes in the State of Nevada. It's the builders and subcontractors that are responsible. NRS 40.
Ann and El Campo was my home. Same thing happened to our homes. Class action really got us enough monies to move. As lawyers and specialists took all the money. Had to short sale. This video brings back bad memories. I feel for all these families.
These folks got beazered! They should all be given new homes and this whole neighborhood should be bulldozed!
New homes? Lol so they can get another POS house.
@@disneyfan9099 I never said a new Beazer house, I believe the all need refunds so they can go purchase new houses from another builder. Beazer builds trash homes.
Any updates on Sleazer Homes???
Oh, these poor people. I bought a new home once and never had these problems. Yes, we had one or two cracks and a small issue in the laundry area, but that was it.
When I sold the home 13 years later, the person doing the termite report for the buyer said it was the cleanest home (construction wise) they ever saw. Only had one small issue under the home of a very few small pieces of lumber under the there.
Grateful for this report. I am looking to buy again and would love another new home but I will stay away from Beazer homes.
Liar
Good foundation and building material. Before home builders started using Chinese lumber and drywall.
Beazer bout to go out of business and open under a new name RIDICULOUS
I hired a Carpenter to look over my home before the money. Found so many issues they sold it to someone else. I even questioned the state as to why it passed inspection. got nothing
Corruption. Home inspectors were bribed to giving the home a passing grade. Simple
Most of the time it is not the builder, it's the quality of contractor they hire.
If they hired them..
then it's the builder too
The builders (Baezer) know EXACTLY who their contractors are!!! This ain't their first rodeo. They have built homes in several states that are falling apart. They are a fraudulent builder with a very revealing history. These poorly built homes are not a coincidence. The many lawsuits are all the proof you need!
@@coriebarnes8680 Contractors come and go. Most builders including Beazer hire these contractor in bulk for cheap labor. Majority of these contractors probably don't have legal papers to work in the US. If you think about it, USA is run by immigrant blue collared workers. Some can stay here without being caught and some are deported. Majority of these jobs, no american wants to do such staying in a hot sun building house. Its not only beazer who has potential to make crappy house but other builders as well. I currently have a beazer house with not issues but have some friends who had bad experience as well. Like i said, it really depends on the contractors and most important, the assigned construction manager. Our construction manager was always on top of his employees. Also, you have to be sure when buying any home from any builder to do your due diligence and hire a home inspector for all 3 phases. To cut this story short, houses in the USA are made cheap hence they are finish within a couples months and when a weather disaster comes, they will fly off by a single 40 MPH wind versus houses in foreign countries can take years to complete and can go to severe weather conditions and still standing like brand new.
@@bj10jgo
While I see your point, I'm still not giving Beazer a pass on this. They are business people. Any REAL and REPUTABLE company would do a background check on another company to verify their history within the industry. That's quite easy to do, thanks to the internet. Even I can do that! But, aside from that, there are other sources to verify. NO ONE can convince me that Beazer doesn't know that these contractors are shady especially when they have so many complaints from customers. This is what happens when you look for and accept the lowest bidder ALL THE TIME!!! Like I said, Beazer knows EXACTLY who they are hiring to build these houses! If they wanted the Gold Standard 🥇 they would seek out those contractors because they DO exist and Beazer is very aware of this fact. There's no excuse for them not to do their due diligence, especially since they have so many lawsuits against them. But, as usual, they will take the easy way out and file bankruptcy and skip town. The usual corporate crooks. 😔 And you are right! It is wise for the homeowner-to-be to hire their own inspectors for their home building project from start to finish. You were smart. Most people aren't like you. But, you better believe that people are gonna be cautious after these news stories run their course.
@@coriebarnes8680 Did you have a beazer home built in this community? Before i bought my Beazer home 6 years ago, i did a lot of research of different builders and i did read some lawsuits back then about beazer but if you think about it, you won't find a perfect builder. Every builder will have some kind of negative review you will find online. Most people tend to complain and write things online when they had a bad experience but its very rare for people to take their time to write something good when they had a good experience.
Beazer making a quick buck on these folks
Before l started the video, I knew it was Las Vegas. Idk what’s going on there or the laws. It seems like a lot builders have problems with building bad homes in NV
@@LaDa620 Texas will have this problem next
That builder is not getting my money! No way!
That same builder is creating a complex in my town!
The same thing happened in Dallas Texas some years ago. The city made the contractor come right back out to fix all of them. Doing short cuts on houses will not pay off in the long run. Just use good material for the homes to last a lifetime.
What builder was that and where?
Looks like the builder is just bandaging things until the warranty runs out.
Beware of Menifee Woodshop which is another business name Walter Lee Mitchell Jr uses to build new homes and remodel homes in San Diego, and southern California area.
My brothers neighborhood has been involved in a class action suit for years with the builder, 500k-1m homes. Over 100 homes. Plumbing problems, etc. Years! The master bath toilet stopped and a shower in a hall bath. Structural problems with counters that leak water, cabinets, etc. It took about 12 months for problems to appear. It's not Beazer, it's another builder and a huge one.
Builders expect uneducated uninformed buyers because experienced buyers get 2 inspections, PRE SHEETROCK, and final inspections, which if any defects with an experienced inspector finds flaws, never sign at closing till ALL is fixed.
Stop getting new homes. Get older homes and remodel the inside.
