DON’T BE FOOLED!! If I could give 0 stars, I would. I do not recommend buying any home/condo from Pratt Homes. The quality, attention to detail and customer service is terrible. Homes are built quickly and materials used are very cheap. Cracks, holes, walls that are not straight, floors uneven... and the list goes on. This was my first home purchase and it was nothing but frustrating and disheartening. It’s disgusting how much you pay vs the quality you get. Upfront, they seem organized, professional and give the illusion they pay the utmost attention to detail. When in reality it’s the opposite. The customer service is a joke, you will receive nothing but excuse met with hostility. RUN from Pratt as a builder!

“Pratt Homes: Houses leak, and the after-sales service leaks even more.”
“Easy to buy, impossible to live in.”
“Value your life — stay away from Pratt.”
Poor construction, worse after-sales service, and zero accountability. Buying a home isn’t about flashy ads, it’s about safe living — and Pratt fails at both.

I would consider any other builder then Pratt homes when purchasing a property. They use low quality parts and subpar contractors to complete the work. We had deficiencies named in our PDI 30 day not fixed. We were advised that because we missed our one year the only things that were noted on our 30 days and PDI would be addressed. After pictures were sent and not "visible" to the team I created a document to resend them. At that point Pratt turned around and said it been too long and that they wouldn't be fixing anything. For example - We had a door frame completely kicked in by the contractors for them to get into the house during the build phase. All the did was shoot some nails and paint over it, however this is still unfixed after we had noted it multiple times. If you don't want a headache run away. I will never buy another house from this company and advise no one else should.
