Home Builder reviews across the US

I recently moved out of one of the properties after three or four years. The property is nice and the neighborhood is peaceful, however dealing with the leasing company (PSC Properties) was a headache. The manager in office was not friendly on several occasions whenever I needed anything such as repairs or if I requested information. She always came off very nonchalant with an 'I don't care' attitude. Outside of this the monthly rent increased each year. My unit was not furnished like the others with new appliances so to have to pay almost the same amount as everyone else was not ethical in my opinion. Honestly, the duplex I lived in was nice but its overrated if you are looking to save money. Outside of the monthly rent I paid three utilities. The downside to this was that the unit I lived in at (14211 fairhill) was poorly insolated which caused my OG&E bill to run around 250-300 for at least four months out of the year. I sought help from PSC hoping to reduce the bill. They were not helpful. The documents I provided to them were sent back to me. They did nothing so I moved. This was an awful experience and a money pit.

Interesting is the people on here are complaining and still live in the properties. One moved in under false pretenses and she was lucky to stay. She moved in without being on the lease and she is the one complaining here the most and still lives in properties while everyone else is feeding her cats.

If I could provide 0 stars I would, PSC property is by far and mean by far worse company to rent from. After lease signing, they do a walk through for Maintenance to come in and fix but completely ignore the list so I'm unsure what is the point of them doing so. Mike is by far the worse property owner and his office assistant Tina isn't any better, she has no authority or respect from her boss. Don't know why she would work for someone who doesn't listen to her or tenants request. They ask for you to send email but they don't respond back. Save your time and money, stay far away from these people if you can

This is probably one of the best management companies I’ve ever dealt with. My hot water tank was replaced within a week of it breaking. My AC went out in the dead of summer and that too was replaced within a week! 48 hours actually.

Their maintenance crew is always nice and everyone is super friendly when they come in to my home. Messes have always been picked up when made.

Tina will gladly troubleshoot any issues you have before deciding if it needs to be fixed or not.

Do not waste your time renting from here!! I pay my rent on time but of course that does not make a difference. Plumbing will never be fixed. Furnace issues will never be fixed!!! There is no emergency line to call! I put in an email for a "work order" and the email gets put in the trash! I emailed two days ago about my furnace I told them when I first moved in that stopped working!! They "fix it" and it breaks again. Here we are two years later with the same problem. I called at 9am Today and still I am waiting for HEAT at 3pm.

Great to work with, very organized and professional.

I think a true test of a newly built home is how does it stand up to the test of time. We have been in our Schell home for 9 years and you would think it is still a new home. No nail pops or cracks on the walls. All of the HVAC is humming without any maintenance issues. The tile and wood flooring throughout the house has stood up well even with 5 grandkids and 2 dogs doing their best to rough it up when they frequently visit. The outside siding and trim needed your basic painting which is expected near the coastline but no issues with the products used for trim.

We have built 7 new homes during our lifetime and not one of them held up like our Schell home. I would strongly recommend Schell Brothers and if by chance I do build another home, it would be a Schell home.

As of this writing, the last posted review is 2 years old. So… let me update you on a near million dollar Schell Brothers built home that we built. The model selection and design is a beast of its own where they literally nickel and dime you for everything in a home. Now then, after the build and closing: the house is a Million Dollar Turd!!! After living in the house for a month, what we have discovered is extremely crooked walls, a tile shower that has more caulking in it than the exterior. It was built incorrectly as a well built tile shower should have ZERO caulk in it. Here’s a few other issues we’ve seen: crooked molding, terrible miter joints, mixed match molding cuts, a crooked front door that whistles badly when there’s any wind, light switches that don’t do anything, bent HVAC return vent coverings, a screened in porch that has two sides with a 1/4 inch gap that allows bugs through, a sidewalk poured below grade that pools water after a small rain. We paid extra for painted walls and were told that they would use satin paint, they used flat. The paint was cut in and trimmed so poorly… Stevie Wonder could have done a better job. Windows lacking interior trim, flooring that looks suspiciously like it was not installed properly… I could go on and on with the LOW QUALITY BUILD that Schell Brothers created for us. But I think I’ll just do a 5-10 video and post it on YouTube. Bottom line, STEER CLEAR of these folks. They may have built a good product years ago but now I believe that it’s all about the MONEY!! 💰 I hate this house. Jim Walter’s built a better house!

Review of Our Schell Brothers Home – One Year Later

Our home is now a little over a year old, and unfortunately, the experience with Schell Brothers has been deeply disappointing.

While the buying and selection process was passable—it wasn’t great, but it was relatively smooth—that may have been the only positive part of the entire experience.

Once we moved in, the poor quality of construction quickly became apparent. Here are just a few of the issues we’ve encountered:

Extremely uneven floors – A ball can roll from one side of the house to the other without any push.

Substandard trim work – Sloppy cuts and finishes throughout the home.

Poor carpet installation – Pieces were cut poorly and laid improperly, and we were told these aren’t covered under warranty.

Damaged deck boards – Also not covered under warranty.

Faulty HVAC system – We've had six service visits and it still doesn’t work correctly.

Painting – Large sections were left unpainted or done so poorly it would’ve been better if they hadn’t painted at all.

Bowed trim – Trim pulls away from the drywall in multiple areas.

Unresolved warranty items – Some issues have been pending for almost a year with no resolution.

Dealing with the warranty team has been equally frustrating. Responses are often filled with excuses or temporary fixes rather than actual solutions.

Schell Brothers markets themselves as a premium homebuilder, but the only “premium” aspect we’ve experienced is the price. The quality and service have fallen far short of expectations.

Bottom line: I would strongly advise others to avoid building with Schell Brothers unless you're prepared to deal with serious quality issues and poor customer service.
