Main Street Homes

Very Disappointing!
The people and service was great, they really sold us on their products and kept giving us all these reasons as to why they were top of the line. Our house was literally thrown together in 3 months. We appreciated the short time line but would have appreciated quality more than time. We have been in our home for 1 year and every day we find more and more wrong. The work was cheap and the house is cheap. Floors creak, the paint is crap (rubs off if u wipe it) a million and one nail pops, cracks in all the trim because it should have been painted before it went on the wall not after it was up. The deck is cracking so whatever treatment they claim to have used must not have been very good. Hardwood floors suck! The wood splits, cracks, breaks etc. HVAC sucks, rooms are all different temps and I don’t see any savings from what they call Energy Star. There are many other things that we do not approve of. Everything is just cheap and for the price, we should definitely have better quality. The only thing in my house I love is my granite counter tops. I would not recommend Main Street Homes to anyone. Sadly, we regret the buying of this house and are looking to sell.

We are now at the one year mark after moving into our Main Street home. Here are some things to note: they don’t negotiate the contracts — they don’t need your business and they don’t try to hide that, they told us that during the whole process but we went ahead anyway. The design people only meet during office hours — both my husband and I had to take three days of leave to pick out fixtures. Again their attitude is «we don’t need your business.» They closed our house 2 weeks late during which time they charged us $ 10,000 rent to store our stuff in the garage since we had already sold our previous place. They put that 10k back to the down payment but it was done in such a clunky way that I’m pretty sure it was illegal from the start. During closing we were screwed out of about $ 5000 because of loopholes. Some items on our punchlist were never finished. For instance there are piles of wood where they cut down trees that they never cleaned up. Now at the one year mark I asked them to pick them up and they refused. They also refused to fix the driveway which has significant damage after one year. I hated this experience. I don’t recommend Main Street Homes.
