Teclon Construction LLC
They build shoddy homes they take forever to build and they do not honor their warrantee

In June I purchased a condo to be built by Teclon Construction in Saugatuck. Mi. We put $25,000 down on it and it took the rest of the year to finish. On several occasions we were pressured by Teclon to close well before the unit was completed, once when it was still only 2x4 walls. We closed in late December and moved in, in January. The quality of workmanship was poor and not up to the standard of a luxury condo ($300,000). We found appliances not hooked up or operating properly, doors out of square, cold air leaking thru the basement door, and a water problem.

In February we found a huge pond of water in the foundation pits for the next units next to our unit filled with water. We, at our own expense, had a sump pump and drain system installed in the basement and were now constantly pumping water out of the unit. We were in effect recycling the water from the outside pond since as fast as we pumped it out, it would seep back in from the pond and refill the sump pit. This went on for nearly three months until the water finally dried up.

We complained to Teclon about this water problem and occasionally they would pump out the pits which refilled as soon as the pumping stopped. On several occasions we and the city building inspector were informed that a "french drain" would be installed outside our unit running along the property line to take the ground water away. This was never done.

The shoddy construction techniques in the unit resulted in the kitchen counter, island counter and wet bar counter all being at different heights, the wood floors were scratched and gouged from moving appliances and equipment over them without proper covering, numerous doors were out of square so they opened or closed on their own and other issues. We tried to get these issues addressed by Mr Baarda and Teclon and always had the same response, "we will get back with you later". We then began repairing some of these issues at our own expense and have not been reimbursed.
