Tilson Homes

Update 11.24.24 - foundation is still crumbling. Door and windows getting worse. More pics added. So disappointing.

Our home was built on a 42” grade. The pad was built by a contractor that had never built a house pad. That’s what he told me. He told me he did not know how big Tilson wanted it. I assumed he contacted Tilson. I never saw Tilson visit while he was building the pad. Pad was not built to speck. It’s is suppose to extent 10 feet out from the foundation. It is 7 feet. We paid extra $5,000 for extra peers to prevent movement. Foundation is moving and cracking causing the sheet rock on the walls and ceiling to crack. Interior of our home is falling apart. Unable to open and lock doors. Huge cracks can be seen under vinyl and tile floor across entire length of home. Exteriors rock cracking from foundation to roof. Tilson blames us. Says we did not water the foundation right. Why didn’t Tilson water during construction? We have gone back and forth with Tilson on the amount to water. They say water, then don’t water. It is just getting worse. It seems the more we water the more movement we see. Soil is eroding under our foundation.
While I’m at it, poor quality paint, cabinets, ceiling on patio porch falling through nails, nail joist in attic separating, hump in roof. The images are only just a few. Very sad experience all around. We were so excited when we signed to begin construction. Buried both my parents and my brother the during the building process. The year of and a couple years after signing was very hard. Way too much anxiety. The warranty they offer protects Tilson not you the homeowner.

This was our second home built with Tilson. We are extremely pleased with the entire team. Our sales rep, Jessica was helpful, friendly, knowledgeable, professional yet not pushy. She was always available to answer our questions and to educate us. Our builder, Covey was extremely knowledgeable as well and friendly. We will always highly recommend Tilson to anyone that wants a beautiful quality built home. They build more homes and they have the experience. Their homes speak for themselves!

I highly recommend Tilson. They built our home and we love it. They were super nice, informative and helpful. From when I first met my sales consultant to my superintendent. They are all great. The structure is good. We get compliments on our home all the times. The financing they provide is very helpful.

Home Building

The initial process, choosing a plan, interior & exterior elements was awesome. The entire staff was extremely helpful, knowledgeable, available and professional.
The building process; however, was a completely different experience. The builder's time and availability was little to none. The workers were definitely not craftsmen and showed little to no experience in their respective fields. Nothing is square in our home the foyer & bedroom openings do not line up. We requested a pocket door for our laundry room in the beginning and it could not be installed properly, so we had to go with a regular door. They light switch had to be moved and it is very difficult to get in our freezer because you have to close the laundry room door to open the freezer.
These are just a few of the problems. If you choose Tilson to build your home be ready to be at your job site every day monitoring everything. Be ready for delays. It took eleven months to build a house just a little over 1800 square feet and we had good weather.
