Jim Walter Homes
Ripoff

Over 2 years ago, 12/06 contract date, Jim Walter Homes made my Dream Home into a Nightmare. To make it short as possible, JWH promised that the home would be built within 12 weeks and to our satisfaction. Promises were made and not kept.

As of today the home still is not finished and JWH had no intention on building a quality home for us.

First of all the wood was delivered from Lowe's the day before a heavy rain fall. The wood was placed on the ground with no pallets under them and not covered. JWH reprentive came out 3 days later and cover the wood with black plastic after the wood stayed in the rain and water for 3 days. This process caused the wood to wrap and mildew. The wood was never changed out and was used to build the house with.

In the past 2 years the roof has been torn off and redone. The roof had a leak that they had to come out and fix. The stairs to the second floor had to be rebuilt. The floors has been sanded down and cut to try to take the dips out of it. The front and back steps had to be changed out due to being weak. The house had to be leveled because the piers where not put in proper (level) before the house was even built. So by leveling the house it cause more problems to the roof, frame, and floors. The siding is wavy, cracked, and uneven. House has been cleaned for mildew once and still has a problem with mildew.

JWH has had 4 sets of different carpenters come work on the house. The first set of carpenters set up tents in the house to stay in and would drink while working. Then they brought a woman to camp out with them that they picked up from a bar room.

After they left the job unfinished, another set of carpenters came from Mississippi to finish the job. Well they were trying to cover up bad work that I caught. This group redone the roof for the first time and the first floor outer walls had to be redone due to warping.in the process of doing work on the house, the forman called me a BIT* with an attitude.

After this group left another came in that was local. He tried to fix what was done to the house. He had to redo the roof and replace over Hundred studs in the house.

After the third set of carpenter left, another set came from Texas to work on it. This group had to take off the roof and redo it again. Put in over 75 studs in the house that were needed in place that didn't have any. The floor between the first and second floor had to be reinforced because when the plumbing was put in for the upstairs, the plumber cut floor joist under the tub to put the plumbing in. The carpenters cut and sanded the floors to even out the floors, which did not do any good. The stairs inside going upstairs had to be redone. The front and back steps were redone.

I could keep adding on. But to make it short as possible. After I hired an attorney to handle the case. He found out that in the court house JWH filed all my land for mortgage instead of just one acre. JWH has no intention of building a quality home or even finishing the home.
