Our Bucher Construction home is beautiful to look at but is a mess. We have lived here 2 yrs and have had trouble from the beginning. The home has 2 hot water heaters. They have both gone out, the last one's tank split!! Our finished basement has water damage and there was no warrentee because the Buchers got it for free! The unfinished part of the basement has a drain but the floor was poured sloping away from it. The geothermal htg/cooling system leaks regularly. Bryans fix was to build a damn around it! It should have been a bigger unit due to the size of our home. We have to put in an entirely new system! The htg/cooling ductwork is too small and not enough was installed. The front porch is cracking at both corners and what started as a crack is now a 1/4 -3/8"" gap. The front pillars were made of a material that absorbs water and then set directly on top of the cement porch. They are already rotting. We asked if the well water smelled and were assured it did not. We had to install a $3,000.00 water treatment system to get rid of the sulfur odor. We were deliberately mislead on the property line. We literally could not mow / enter out backyard without going through our neighbors property! We just purchased a small part of our neighbors side yard so we could enter ours! Our driveway is a mosaic of cracks and is crumbling is spots. These are just the huge issues. There have been many small ones. Some of the small issues have been corrected by Buchers. The large ones are always ignored. Our last meeting with Bryan was 2 weeks ago and he promised to work something out by Fri. Fri came and went and we heard nothing from Bryan. We did not build this home. It was Bryan's home. I will be filing complaints with the BBB, and Attorney General's office. We will probably get no satisfaction but at least others will be warned and not taken advantage of like we were.
