Schell Brothers

Arthur Gowran

I am a retired environmental attorney who lives on Cedarwood Lane in Lewes, Delaware. Schell is building the Welches Pond housing development within proximity of my home. As a result of the company's water diversion at the site, my toilets and water heater have been degraded with silt. I will have to replace the toilets and water heater. Next week, I am having a filter installed at the water intake site in my crawl space in an attempt to prevent silt from ruining my toilets, water heater and appliances. I, along with a neighbor, visited Schell's corporate offices in Rehoboth Beach in an attempt to speak to a corporate official about the degradation of the water in our neighborhood. I was met by a stonewalling receptionist, who insisted there was no one available, and she was extremely rude. Finally, after I asked to speak with the project manager for Welches Pond, she put me in phone contact with the production manager for all of Schell Brothers' projects. Clearly, that was not the person I wanted to speak with. The production manager was rude, condescending and demeaning. He insisted Schell was not responsible for our water issues, and there was nothing he could do for me. He then proceeded to lecture me, a a former litigation attorney and prosecutor of environmental cases at the US Department of Justice, on how, should I bring a lawsuit against Schell, it would be impossible for me to establish a nexus between Schell's water diversion at Welches Pond and the degradation of my water supply. It is clear to me that Schell is only in business to make money, has no concern for the damages it causes to people and their property living within proximity of its construction projects and refuses to accept responsibility for the deleterious effects its projects have on the environment. Be sure to do your due diligence before you purchase a home from Schell Brothers. Caveat emptor!

This company is building a development called Welch's pond half a mile from my house. They are diverting all the ground water. We have no water and our wells are dry. The trees are starting to die. Our clothing appliances everything is getting ruined. My neighbor had a well person come this morning and they had to replace all the corroded pieces .

Cadillac of Builders. Walk through their model homes and neighborhoods then go to the other builders. It wl be clear to you why they are more expensive. Noone does entrances into a community or Clubhouses better than they do. They also know how to throw a great party!!!

We recently moved into our brand new Lilac, built by Schell Brothers. The home building experience was a dream from start to finish! They communicated with us every step of the way, and made the entire journey seamless. We felt it was a perfect balance of having choices to pick sections at the design studio, but not say many choices that we felt over-whelmed. Our vision of how this home would look is spot on, thanks to the guidance we received from the Schell team throughout. We could not be happier with our dream home.
