[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are currently building a home with Evergreene.  Given a choice I should have paid more attention to the reviews on this site. Evergreene makes their money by constructing a home as quickly as possible and churning out 200+ homes a year. They do not listen to any input from the buyer. They are very rigid and I can only caution you to make sure you have everything documented and requested before you sign. Changes after they have your money and contract are almost non existent. The trades they are using are not craftsman and little supervision is given over the quality of the work performed. Communication is non existent. Calls and emails are often ignored with the hope that you will eventually give up from asking any questions.  As the construction progresses you may see things that were not in the contract but should be addressed. They are not at all flexible. They build to the code but the work isn’t the best. Given the skill level of the workers more direct supervision is required to get a better quality product. Given a choice and based on my experience to date, I would not buy from Evergreene.  There is not a good mutual working relationship between the buyer and builder. I think they could be a quality organization, but the production people executing the plan could care less about you. As other reviews have indicated I would be very cautious of selecting them to build your dream home. They are strictly a production builder, more dollar focused and not customer oriented. [/quote]

Building contractor here.  Telltale sign of a bad, low quality builder is the type of home wrap they use.   Industry standard is Tyvek or Typar.   Home wrap like many other infrastructure components are covered up, mostly to never be seen again.  Builders who are ultra cheap cut things like this - they know they can get away with it.  Heck, most home buyers don’t even know the purpose of home wrap!!!  It served an important function as key component of the building envelope.   When I drive around I can spot Evergreen Homes a mile away - they use the cheapest home wrap available!  Looks like cheap plastic of some sort.  In fact, I’m willing to bet their lumber supplier just gives it to them for free!!!  People think they are getting a deal but you really only get what you pay for - cheaply constructed dwelling guaranteed to fall apart after the shiny finish wears off.  [/quote]
