We purchased our home from Forrest Homes a little over a year ago. From day one we had issues, we did our final walk through before closing, had a list of items not completed or done so with little to no concern for quality. We closed on our home and a year later, and several email and calls to the builder, and they won’t even respond. Our “home warranty” is as good as useless. The company’s project manager did fix a few small items after months of trying to get it done, once we were able to speak to him when he was working on another hone being built. But still have many issues with our

I was looking to buy a house from this builder.
It was cash payment so I asked if I’m not satisfied I’ll back off.
They are very slow to do everything on time. They delayed my closing date for house not ready, there’s no power and for hurricane Sally which I accept. But my closing date was on 15 September before hurricane Sally.
My private inspector inspected the house on 1st of October then I did a walk through on 9 October after they told me they fixed all flaws in my inspection file but actually they didn’t.
The flaws were 2 exterior doors gaps, 2 roof leaks, bathtub drain slowly

My husband and I closed on our home a few days ago and so far we have not had any follow up on when our punch list will be completed they have not completed or started the projects that were stated in our contract there has been very little concern about our needs since before and after purchasing this home We are not at all impressed with this builder or his staff .....dishonest no follow up I am thinking now that I wish we had looked at other homes and not jumped into this so quickly before buying from these people do your research I wish we had shame on you Forrest homes n steel construction

Unprofessional and lazy are the best words I can think of to describe for Forrest Homes. Forrest Homes went out of their way to cut corners and only half-finish tasks.
Starting from the outside in, the yard of the house needs to be completely redone. They will water it and make it look presentable for closing, but after walking on it for a few weeks, you will start to make unwelcomed decoveries. The roots to the grass are shallow at best due to the mountians of debris that are just covered up with a little dirt. This debris includes whole roof shingles, nails, 2x4s, an entire bag of concrete,
