Tilson Home Corporation

I had the very best experience anyone could ask for out of the Katy, TX location. Arecely Harris was my sales person. She did an excellent job of helping me pick my home, colors changes I made to the plans before the build etc. Tilson is very lucky to have her. On the building side I had the best site Superintendent, Johnathan Bass. He stayed on top of the entire construction process, and kept me in the loop of what was next. He made quick corrections to any errors (Which were very minimal). It’s going to happen with any builder. The construction crews were very professional as well. Tilson is also very lucky to have Johnathan Bass tool. I highly recommend Tilson Homes. The attention to detail and quality is superb!

Tilson San Marcos built our weekend vacation home. It came out better than we expected at a very fair price compared to competitors. Inspector informed me it was built very solid. We receive high praises from our guests. Trey at San Marcos office was great to work with.

Don’t do it!!! Buyers beware. They don’t care about the end product at all, nor the customer! We are getting a remodel to a home that we have not even moved into yet… there were so many errors on my house it is not funny!!!
The President & COO both don’t care about the customer satisfaction.

We decided to build with Tilson Home Corporation and they started our 3700 sq ft home at the end of April 2013. They poured the foundation by the end of May 2013 and when they went to pull the tension on the post tension slab we had two blowouts on the back porch. Within 24 hours we had a crack that ran from one of those blowouts throughout the entire house and out to the front porch. The house is broken in half! Tilson did not seem concerned and told us that concrete cracks. We felt uneasy so we hired our own engineering firn only to get core samples back that revealed that our concrete was below industry standards (3000 psi or above is industry standard). We finally had to tell Tilson to STOP building as they had just finished the drywall in the house. Since then we have heard very little from them. We sent them a letter last week (09−03−13) and have gotten NO RESPONSE from them. Since they left the build we have since found out that one of the pump trucks delivering the concrete broke down in front of our house spewing hydraulic oil in a huge area of our front yard. When the pump truck broke down they did not send for new concrete they poured that batch hours later after it sat on the truck and was being watered down, reason for the subpar concrete. Anyway, Tilson has seemed to have run for the exits instead of taking care of us, the customer. It has been very sad and upsetting to see our dream house turn into a nightmare.

UPDATE: 01/​16/​2014 Since writing this review back in Sept 2013, Tilson’s top people met with us at our home and they DID step up to the plate. Through the help of our independent engineer and Tilson’s engineer they dug under our house and put in 90 steel piers and lifted the house 3″. So far we are very happy with the work Tilson has done and we are about to finally move into our new home. The house looks fantastic with just a few thngs left to do before we move in.
