Report
Terrible! Terrible! Terrible! Construction has been delayed due to little to no communication. Both myself, my builder and my wife have tried multiple attempts to contact and work with their schedules to get a redraw done. My entire project is being held up by this terrible company! Two plus months waiting on these people and nothing has been done. We are in complete limbo with this company and can't even get email or phone responses back. Giving them one star is inaccurate. I would give negative stars if I could. Steer clear!
