BREACH OF CONTRACT, WARRANTY DEPARTMENT NEGLECT BEWARE
First Texas warranty department literally destroyed an upgraded vent hood we selected and now are telling us we have to live with unacceptable repairs. We have been very patience for over a year and after the 8th visit this week at their attempt to fix it I'm just livid. The stainless steel is warped and the install looks nothing like it looked at final walkthrough before they came it to repair another issue with the wall. DO NOT BUY with FTH if you want superior outstanding workmanship or good customer service.

To be honest we love our home design. It needs a new paint job after 5 years. (We lived in our previous home for 12 and didn't need a paint job). The major issue I have is the stone on the outside of our home is falling apart. The mortar is literally cracking and falling apart. This was "fixed" during our initial walk through. One would think this is structural but it is not covered. So if the actual brick/stone is falling off the home it's not covered. First Texas Homes Warranty Response:

"No, the stone does not hold the home up. Structural components are ones that

I just moved into my First Texas Home two months ago and it's been and it's been a headache. Despite this being a new build, everything, and I mean, EVERYTHING has to be fixed.

1. The tankless water heater stopped working the first week and I had icy cold water in my shower

2. There was air coming through my balcony door

3. The HVAC is a joke. It's been "fixed" six times in two months - and it's still not working correctly. When the system is off, it blows out hot air when it's hot outside and cold air when it's cold inside.

4. The facet in the kitchen

Our experience with Kim (Sales) and Jim (Project Mgr) was awesome! They really care and try hard! They were also open to all of our suggestions regarding modification during the planning stage. Our problem with First Texas Homes is the quality of the craftsmanship as well as the poor quality materials used. It appears that most of the matrerials used to build our house were procured with only price in mind. Within the first four years we've had numerous failing receptacles and breakers throughout. All toilet seats have broken and been replaced, the engineered hardwood is delaminating, the

Buyer beware - Our home was built as we agreed upon. The issue you need to be aware of is the HVAC. L&S mechanical is contracted through First Texas Homes. We have had nothing but issues with our HVAC. We keep getting told its a builder grade system and it will only cool 20 degress cooler than the outside. That means if its 105 outside it will olnly cool to 85. They have changed vents and now they have moved out=r thermostat into a bedroom. My last home was built in 2001 and you could hang meat. If you have someone else come out to check the system they will void your warranty. Our neighbors

I'm still getting inbox messages from others asking about my experience with First Texas. RUN and go with another homebuilder if you can. If you can't find a Google review OR a Facebook review on them, it's for a reason! It's because they don't want you to know how terrible they are in regards to customer service and with building.

I really like my new First Texas home, and appreciate the work they did. Nothing is ever going to be perfect, and that's why they have the warranty period... which has been very responsive whenever I've brought something up. To me, they've all seemed like really good and honest people. One thing they mentioned a few times during the final walk was that they'll come out once to touch up paint/crack/caulk issues, so you wait until the warranty period (year) is nearly up before submitting those issues.

Overall, excellent!
