SeaGate Homes

Andrew Hitchcock

Let me begin by saying I'm a lifelong construction person. Have been since 7 years old when I was handing my father tools. Now I work on the desk side of things. So, I do know what is right and wrong in construction from a few different perspectives. That being said, Seagates supposedly stellar reputation I have found is a smoke screen. I thought I was lucky to get into one of Seagate's first available inventory homes in May of this year (2022). This IS the company that has a highway billboard that lists all the years they were voted "best of". With my background, I wasn't going to have anyone but the best build my home because I can spot anything wrong from a mile away. I thought this would be headache and stress free. Boy, was I wrong. To go into every little thing would be too long. I'll just say the roof framing, the most important part of a Florida home, is shockingly bad and sloppy. It was only after I made a stink about it that Seagate called the framer back to fix the really bad stuff, but not everything I flagged. I don't know why I was the one flagging this stuff. There is a guy named Lou who oversees the construction on site who doesn't check the work apparently. All of the framing in the house was just a slop job from roof to walls. It doesn't stop there. The concrete that will be exposed, such as the rear patio and the garage, has numerous issues that Seagate told me I will just have to live with. To this point, that's as far as I've gotten because the construction stopped. 6 weeks after signing, I asked why the house wasn't progressing all that well. That's when the excuses started. Now, what was originally a September completion date is now not able to be determined at all. In closing, avoid this company. Not only do they lie about completion dates to get your signature and deposit but the workmanship is garbage. I tried to get my contract cancelled and they told me no and that I'd lose my deposit if I did. Now I have to explore legal means to recoup my money. What a mess.

Right now is not a good time for new construction with any builder. The builder has no control when there are supply and worker shortages. The demand is too high and the supply is too low. We built our Seagate home in 2012 when building was slow. They worked tiredlessly with us to modify the plan the way we wanted it. We were there daily to see the progres. Seagate was very happy to rectify any issues. The only thing we were unhappy about is they did not do the entire roof hip as we requested. The front is hip but the back is gable. Unfortunatey we didn't catch it during construction. Also we adressed our pool deck floods badly during heavy rain but they wouldn't correct the issue.

RUN, RUN, RUN if you are thinking of building with Seagate Homes. Whatever you are doing, if you are in the market for a builder, take your money and run away as far as you can from Seagate. We were told on the onset it would be 12/14 mos. to build, as were others, it is now 20 MONTHS INTO THE BUILD, and they are still not finished. DO NOT, if you don't want an ulcer, have this builder build your home. We procured them to build and signed a contract in November 2020. It is now May 2022 and they are still building. I have an ulcer that isn't getting any better, and under a doctor's care. These people could care less about you or your home. They have also committed a crime against seniors, since we have paid for the building of our home in its entirety, and they are still b u i l d i n g. Don't put yourself through the misery. See if you can find a real reputable company to build for you, and check them out thoroughly before hiring them. Building with this company is the worse thing that you can possibly do, and that has ever happened to us. I advised you not to do it for your health and your sanity.
