Constraction reviews in Charlotte, North Carolina

I'm a single mamma that has STRUGGLED most of my parenthood.
I FINALLY found land that I saved and saved for and 2.5 years later, I was able to build a home for my kids and I!
I thought this would be my dream come true. To have a home of our own after years of struggle, hardship, loss, abuse and displacement.

A good portion of the subcontractors they hire are subpar! I feel like could paint way better then whoever they hired and im not trained.
There's missed areas, pain runs EVERYWHERE, HORRIBLE patch jobs around windows and outlets and THICK slopped on paint around others.
My back door with a window looks like it was picked up at a second hand shop. Blemishes, dings, bondo, and thick sloppy paint all over it, includingthe window.
There is significant daylight coming in all around my "sealed" doors. French doors are hung NOTICEABLY uneven.
Door knobs weren't removed when painting. There's white all around them and missing paint where the door handle moves a little that's is VERY visible.
Bedroom door handles won't stay on, one time leaving my son locked in his room because it fell apart in his hand.
The bathroom accessories have all come off in both bathrooms. IE, Toilet paper holder and towel.
Blue tape items "fixes" were kinda a joke. They seemed in a hurry, unprepared and ill trained. There is STILL blue tape in spots that weren't touched 😂
I was talked into NOT putting knobs on any of the cabinets... HUGE mistake.
Good luck trying to change ANYTHING after going to the design office and signing. EVEN things like cabinet pulls that are already included in the price!
OR pay them extra to change the flooring before anything has even started 🙄.
I HATE the carpet in my main areas. They do NO landscaping and almost non existent hay layed just barely around the red clay circled house.
It would have been NOTHING for them to extend in in my open floor plan from the kitchen.
I could go on, but I will leave you with, they also do little to NO cleanup of your property. Trash and cigarette butts from the workers and screws, weather wrap nails and roofing nails GALORE!
Expect to get some tires repaired if you park anywhere close to your new house.
Then make sure you invest in a rolling magnet 🧲 to pickup as much as you can, so your not trying to get to work in the morning and come out to a flat.

Ok, I didn’t want to write this review because it’s been almost 1 1/2 year since we moved to the house that Madison built for us. I could have written this review when the issue happened but we decided to just let it go but now that we are dealing with another problem because of the poor quality of the Construction/ system of Madison then I have no choice. First of, I want to say that our house is beautiful and we loved it but when we moved to our house there were a few issues that took over a month before it was resolved not to mention the VERY POOR communication from the Construction Supervisor Tim.

1. The master’s bathroom tub- When we moved it still has that green covering on it and we were not able to use it immediately. It took over a month before the green thing came off.
2. Touch up paint was not even done when we moved and basically took them 2 weeks to finish the touch up.
3. The metal vent downstairs was not fitted on the air condition vent so for a while there were just holes on the floor until the company came and have the correct metal vent.
4. We moved in December and few mos after that we had a big Typhoon and our windows started leaking and it took Madison more than a week to send a guy to fix it.
5. Door knobs and towel handles started falling and getting loose few mos after moving in.
6. The septic smell coming from the bathroom has been a CONSTANT problem one year after we moved in. We had plumbers come out a few times,at first the plumber that they have sent said it was a stagnant water that was stuck in the pipe so we just had to run water every now & then to avoid the smell to come back but few mos have passed and the smell is back and since house is no longer on warranty we had to call a local plumber to check/ re-seal the toilet which cost $500 then again now we are dealing with it again so another plumber is coming out to do a smoke test which would cost $700. I do not think that an almost brand new house ( <2 yrs)should have problems with septic if it’s really done correctly.

The NIGHTMARE from a subpar builder hiring subpar contractors is just endless. So if you’re trying to build a house DO NOT go with Madison.

Add:
After 3 mos. from the time I wrote this review until now there were NO warranty Manager or whatsoever that reached out to us to fix Septic smell issue. So I would still up to this day would NEVER recommend Madison.

UPDATE:

3 years since our house was built & we're already having problems with our brand new-ish AC unit for a year now!!! ALL of the heat/air technicians that came out here has been telling us that this should not be a problem since this house is not even 10 yrs but because this builder chose probably the LOWEST QUALITY unit in the market now we have to deal with it. So for those who choose to go with Madison- Enjoy your new built, it sure won't last long until a problem starts arising. I have ZERO clue how did this house pass inspection due to the fact that it was poorly made & we the paying customers have to face & deal with consequences because builder chose to use the CHEAPEST materials & allowed POOR & LOW QUALITY LABOR

I recently closed on a home deal representing the buyer of one of Madison Simmons’ homes, and the process was honestly so smooth. Working with their agent Amanda was a breeze — she was so proactive and made sure everything stayed on track.

The attention to detail in the home itself is amazing. You can really tell Madison Simmons takes pride in their work. During the new home orientation, every single thing we noted was addressed right away, and by closing day everything was handled.

My client is beyond happy with her purchase, and as an agent it’s such a relief working with a team that’s thorough, communicative, and cares about the end result. Big thank you to Amanda and Madison Simmons Homes for making it such a great experience.

I wanted to wait until we had been in our home for some time before leaving a review. We are coming up on one year and we have not had a single major issue. I haven’t even found a single bug in our house and we live in the woods so I think that speaks to the quality and things done right. Madison built a beautiful home and we truly love it. We were going through some pretty heavy stuff during our build in our personal lives and weekly site visits was something we looked forward to and kept us going. Over all once the build started we had pretty smooth sailing after a few hiccups before construction began that didn’t have anything to do with Madison. They have been very communicative post construction on small things we needed and we are very satisfied and would use them again!

Madison Homebuilders gave us a wonderful home building experience. You always hear horror stories about building a house and this was far from it. Jeff was great about answering any questions and helping us select a plan. Our builder David was awesome. We were always kept in the loop about what was going on. Very proud of our Madison home!

Working with Madison Homes was a wonderful experience. We had the best Superintendent, David Hinson. David was always available for questions. He returned texts promptly. He kept us informed every step of the way . He was so organized with his subs. There was no long wait while no one was working on your home. As soon as one set up subs completed their tasks another group came in right behind them . We had a wonderful perso who helped pick out our options and another helped with our closing. I would not hesitate to recommend Madison Homes.

We had a fantastic experience building our home with Madison Homebuilders. Jeff Price was a wonderful through the sales process and was always available, helpful, and attentive, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. Kimberly Barley was exceptionally helpful, kind, and always quick to respond and a pleasure to work with. David Hinson, our superintendent, was amazing throughout the build—always thorough, detail-oriented, and committed to ensuring the quality of our home met the highest standards. His excellent and quick communication gave us complete confidence every step of the way. He is a master at scheduling the subcontractors! Our home was completed quicker than we expected, and thanks to this incredible team, our dream home became a reality. We are truly grateful and highly recommend Madison Homebuilders.

We recently had The Novak Group renovate our master bathroom with a limited timeframe. Brian and his team did a phenomenal job removing an old tub and constructing a beautiful walk-in shower. We are very pleased with the end result and would recommend The Novak Group to anyone!

I worked with the Novak Group to turn four rooms into one large room and couldn't be happier with the result. He worked with me to let me perform some of the work myself to save some money and he was clear on the constraints and upfront with cost. His colleague Ellen was on site for most days to coordinate. As with any large project there were a few miscommunications, but always addressed in a short amount of time. Would use again and recommend to others. Some of his competitors were equally good and they provided more hand-holding and personal attention, but they all charged for their time, so make sure you find a contractor that fits your needs.

The Novak Group came to our house and gave us 100% professional service from the very beginning. Senior management evaluated our situation and formulated an effective strategy to not only get us back to where we were, but instead moved us way ahead. They are on your side if dealing with an insurance claim. They offer tremendous quality, value and unparalleled customer service and satisfaction. They were not satisfied until we were satisfied. They are not only our first call for any project, they are our only call! We have used them for more than one situation and will every time we have a need. I would highly recommend the Novak Group for any project. I can also be contacted for a personal and private evaluation and recommendation.

My husband and I hired the Novak Group to design and renovate our 1970s kitchen and laundry area. This included knocking down two walls, adding windows through brick, moving the electrical panel and updating wiring throughout, changing the footprint of the kitchen and moving plumbing lines for laundry. Not only did his team do an amazing job, he completed the project on time and budget. He communicated with us almost every day along the way and I can’t think of any time where there wasn’t someone at the house doing something. Never a lull. The process was smooth and the result is magazine-worthy. We couldn’t be happier and plan on hiring the Novak Group again when we are ready to do our master bathroom.

Professional and reliable projects in residential and commercial location

Great job done by reliable professionals. Would not hesitate
to use this team again.

Raul and Andres are attentive to details and get the job done, very happy with my fence installation!

"Raul and Andres are great to work with! They are super skilled and capable, easy to communicate and schedule with. If you have something you need added or renovated in your home, they are great people to do so for you. I really appreciate the fact they handle all scale of jobs, from something as simple as hanging up things on the walls, to landscaping or exterior work, to building and installing cabinets for you, they can take care of it all!"

Very professional family business. Andres and Raul were able to offer a variety of home remodeling services. We hired them specifically to work on our kitchen remodeling and flooring, very impressed with the job they completed.

My wife and I recently hired Ramanso Construction for a kitchen remodel project. They are a family owned / run business and it shows. Raul and his son Andres were very friendly, accommodating of our requests, and knowledgeable of code requirements and associated setback distances. They helped with the overall vision for the project and spent a lot of time making sure that we were getting what we wanted. Two thumbs up for Ramanso.

Andres and his team are amazing. Very realiable and honest! From kitchen cabinets refinish to building an outside deck. They are a licensed General Contractor so they can really do it all. Thank you Ramanso Construction!

We had the pleasure of doing business with Andres Ponce and Ramanso Construction. We had all existing carpet removed and went with Nucore LVP as a replacement. The process with Andres was smooth from beginning to end. The install went quicker than expected by all and his team ended up doing some much needed interior painting as well. We found his communication and workmanship to be excellent. Our home looks beautiful and we will call on him for future projects.

Andres did an excellent job after I closed on my first home to address some needed plumbing updates. He was prompt to deliver a competitive quote, attended to cleanliness and details throughout the SOW, and made sure I was entirely satisfied with the end result upon completion. I would happily hire again for future needs!

The techs came over and were so respectful and professional. They got the job done quickly and let me know that if I needed anything else done that they'd be able to help.
