This company has caused me over 8 months of having to deal with water damage & mold issues in my unit. I'm still dealing with this issue. They honestly do not care about how they affect the people's lives that they build the homes for. I've attached photos of the hole they left after we removed the sheet rock from my living room wall. That's not the only issue, there's more water damage in my master bedroom that we haven't to this day really found the root cause. It's only funny how when they first came to assess the situation, they immediately lay blame
