We were set on purchasing a Palo Verde Home due to their “quality” however that was not our case. During the walkthrough of the home, we noticed several issues that really shouldn’t be overlooked. There were large gaps in the roof, gaps between the kitchen island and the floor, and the same type of gaps under the bathroom vanity. These concerns were excused by saying there had to be gaps as they would let the owners become aware of a leak. If the gaps were not there we would notice the leak too late and cause further damage.
In the master bedroom, there was even a large hole under the sink that surprised the foreman when he saw it. Behind the large tub in the primary bathroom, the wall wasn’t straight — it was noticeably curved — and when this was pointed out, the foreman said nothing could be done because the walls were already up. When all of these concerns were brought to him, he dismissed them as simple “human error” and said that since the home is man-made, we should expect imperfections. However, these aren’t small imperfections; they’re issues that really should have been caught and addressed.
Unfortunately these were errors that left us feeling dissatisfied and unwilling to accept. I would strongly recommend a drone footage of the roof prior to purchasing any of their homes.
