Fafard Real Estate

The worst contracting company ever.\r They have delayed our construction 4 (!) times. And every time they've promised it would be the last delay. We wasted a lot of money for a hotel (we stopped our lease after P&S signing and before the first delay came up), storage for our stuff, moving to storage... Obviously they didn't compensate for anything.\r Then they ran out of tile and granite for the countertops we chose and offered us to make new choice from a lot less options.\r They ""forgot"" about all the verbal promises they made. That we will be able to come when electrician works and show all the places for outlets, they will divide for us light and fan switches in master bathroom, they will provide hookup for gas dryer, etc. They were ready to do everything we wanted before P&S agreement and nothing after.\r Finally, then we got the house we were shocked by the quality: curved walls, scratches on the kitchen cabinets, broken lock on a window, chipped corner of the tiles on the floor, ugly light fixtures (different from ones in model house), a hole in the garage wall, unpainted doors, scratched window sills and door frames, inaccurate putty holes on walls. It looked as if blind people built it. And moreover the house was dirty, they haven't clean it after cunstruction. And moreover there was very dirty in the house, since they haven't cleaned it after construction.\r It was unbelievably stressful 2 months of our life and we are really disappointed with what we got.\r \r We moved in 1 week ago and house is still not finished, nobody comes to complete the work and the Internet will be provided in one month.

I live in a house built by this company. Since moving in, I have had nothing but issues. So far, I have had to replace the Master Bathroom shower, the Hot Water Heater, the entire front lawn and have had multiple cracks in the foundation repaired. Most recently, my furnace stopped working. \r \r \r \r Initially, when the shower continually leaked into my garage and dining room, the company made numerous attempts to ""repair"" it. When the repairs all failed and the warranty eventually expired, they threw their hands up and told me that we were on our own. I have since had it removed and of course, found that it had been installed incorrectly. \r \r \r \r When the furnace failed to do its job in the first few years of occupancy, the company made attempts to ""repair"" it. They added zones, dampers and even a smaller furnace to address the cold spots and rampant gas usage. Nothing corrected the problem. Once the warranty period was over, they and the contractor that installed it refused to return phone calls. In the last few years, in addition to not working well, the unit has faield on three separate occasions costing large amounts in emergency calls. Finally, a manufacturer's rep was sent out and I was informed that it was installed incorrectly and now should be replaced as a result. \r \r \r \r I believe you can see the pattern\r \r \r more

We bought a townhouse built by Fafard in Milford less than two years ago. The place is absolutely gorgeous. Open layouts, large bedrooms, large sun filled windows. Unfortunately, after living there for six months we started noticing things. Numerous cracks were found running vertically on the walls of our living room (floor to ceiling). There were large gaps between the baseboard and drywall in certain areas. The paint was peeling all over the place and creating bubbles on the wall. The plaster ceiling by the skylight at the stair landing by the master bedroom broke off in pieces and looks horrible right now. There's drafts at the windows, probably wasn't seal tight. All these things happen right after our one year warranty ended and when we called them, they gave us the ""your warranty ended and it's no longer our responsibility."" Just yesterday the sprinkler head leaked and now the wall inside our bedroom has water damage. This place is just falling apart. I work in construction and seriously this is not what I call quality building. I will never recommend anyone buying a Fafard property. It was the biggest mistake we made and now we can't sell it with all these problems until we fix everything first. Considering the place is less than two years old, this is pathetic. Pros: Open layouts, large windows Cons: Bad quality construction more
