My wife and I purchased our first home, and Imagine Home a couple of months ago. We decided to buy a new town home, built in 2018, as opposed to an older house specifically because its our first home and we didn't want to deal with costly remodeling or ongoing expenses that come with an older home. Fast forward to today and it turns out the main sewage line under foundation is cracked.
Even though Imagine Homes fixed this for another home exactly like mine just two houses down (all homes look the same, they are town homes), outside of their "plumbing" warranty, they are not doing the same for

Erin Kopplin was just not honest with us... not professional and does not stand by her actions... definitely showed us where not to go for future references... you must learn you represent your company even when not on the clock... TAKE RESPONSIBILITY and pride yourself by mistakes you make.

We’re currently owners of an Imagine Home. Once the home settled, we had an issue covered within our warranty that was addressed in such a thorough and timely manner by Bridgette! They truly take pride and responsibility for the quality they produce. We were very impressed with her responsiveness and follow up!

I unfortunately need to update my review. Everything below was written a year ago after I moved in and remains true. A year layer with poor drainage between the houses I am left with a swamp that has not been addressed. This is common with the Claremont homes in my neighborhood. if you are buying one of these houses please be mindful of the drainage problem between the houses that eventually turns into a mud pile. We ended up paying around $1,000 to have a contractor place stones there to fix the problem.

The quality of Imagine Homes is excellent!!! These homes are so well insulated our utility bills are about a third of other non imagine homes in my neighborhood and our house is about 500 square feet larger!! I can go on and on about the quality and attention to detail. I want to give a special shout out to Bridget she is great and was always there to answer any questions and Bridget has always responded the same day.

I love the floorplans shown on their webpage but apparently the office address shown isn't a manned office so in turn the hours shown as open are confusing. I would really like to get with someone personally to go through what they have to offer but the webpage doesn't have up to date information. We like a few of their floorplans for purposes of building on our property.

We had a terrific experience working with Imagine Homes. They worked with us very well and built our home in a timely manor. The project managers were great to work with. There were a few hiccups, but we worked together to find win-win solutions. The quality of the building is excellent. We highly recommend them as a home builder for you.

Unfortunately for me, I live on a street where Imagine Homes is building several new properties. I'm sure their houses are perfectly adequate, but their behavior in our neighborhood has been anything but. They leave garbage all over the yards of the houses they are working on, to the point where it drifts out into the street and creates a hazard for drivers. They leave Porta Potties on the sidewalk-- sometimes not even in front of their own properties. They treat our neighborhood like one big construction site, completely ignoring the fact that people actually live here. This is a company that
