[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We purchased a home built by KUL Homes and overall the quality of work is poor and the builder doesn't stand behind their product.  Our home is 3 years old and in that time we've uncovered the following issues:
2 roof leaks
incorrect mechanical discharge
Interior trim installed on the exterior
Exterior trim is a mix of PVC and wood where the wood is rotting.
Tile floors aren't installed with full setting bed, just spots so the grout is falling out and the tiles are starting to wobble.
The pre-wiring for data is not fed to anywhere, just 12" into the wall.
One bedroom has no mechanical vent for heat / cooling
Low quality appliances in which we have already had to replace the fridge and dryer.

And today when trying to fix a shower leak I found our shower is framed with standard drywall, not cementboard or even greenboard which is needed for walls exposed to water.

Our early attempts to work with KUL Homes to correct issues resulted in the lowest quality subcontractors, who often didn't show, or were hours late or unprepared without basic materials such as an appropriately sized ladder.  This resulted in hours of missed work for my husband and I for a mediocre fix.

I will note the home was done and built when we bought it, so we were not involved in the construction or product selection.[/quote]

I'm not 100 percent sure but I think kul homes is the same builder as relux homes.  Relux homes used to make some pretty cheap homes with some high end finishes for a relatively cheap price on McMansions.  See old posts about them.  I think they renamed themselves as kul homes bc relux had such a bad reputation around here.  They are doing the same thing from what I can see.  Again, I'm not 100 percent sure but I think this because: 1)the realtor at kul  is often the wife of the builder of relux.   2)their staging is exactly the same between the two companies.   3)both the companies jump on the "wow" bandwagon with finishes that are trendy at the moment---almost edgy, but more trendy.
