Judd Builders Reviews

There are numerous issues with construction work being done by Judd Builders for new house being built for me in development. To start with, not fulfilling promise of 150 days for delivering the house after getting permit, missing rain water pipe on roof, missing installation of large windows on side walls in basement, not installing shower head in center in master bath, issue with grading, there are some more, major one and worthwhile to mention here is, issue with stone work on front of the house. Signed the Schedule B document on 08/19/2017 for Bucktown Fieldstone stone with “off white” mortar. When the construction still being done, on June 18, 2018 found that the stone work was done with “gray” mortar. When the issue was reported to Judd Builders, the mistake was accepted as this was an act of workmanship negligence and they offered me a credit for that. But I wanted the stone work redone with “off white” mortar. I was told they will look into it. In hurry, over the weekend of 7th, 8th July 2018, they did something with stone work without my approval and signature as a buyer on “revised work order”. On July 9th, 2018 when I looked at the stone work on front of the house, I was shocked and very disappointed with the sloppy, poor workmanship job. They smeared white cement over exiting gray mortar to hide the existing gray color mortar, it looks horrible. Not sure how and why they have started doing this kind of sloppy, poor workmanship job lacking quality. May be because of new project manager, may be lacking effort put into quality control on construction site. As this house is costing me a fortune, as a buyer I will not accept this house without stone work redone and I want Judd Builders to redo stone work with quality workmanship using off white mortar before closing. In case Judd Builders doesn’t want to redo the stone work, I will not be in a position to accept this house and I demand Judd Builders to return all my money (paid so far to them) with interest back to me.
