Fischer has had a very rough time with the construction of my new homeI will not detail the myriad of severe and negligent issues we have dealt with withThe most current issue at hand stems from our warranty period, where we had notified Fischer's superintendents of an issue with water filling our non-operational sump basinThere was no active plumbing, however the sump basin kept filling with waterFischer did not address nor attempt to fix the issue during our year warranty periodThey stated that it was not an issue and that we should just keep an eye on it and let them know if it gets worse Nearly a year later, we started noticing water seeping up from the basement slab (from a previous repair they performed that was not to their own engineer's specification)Fischer agreed to remedy the situation They came out to my house in Early April, opened a foot by foot chunk of my basement slab, found that the sump basin was not properly installed, and also found that the

Service and warranty issues not completed as promised We have put in warranty/service requests again and again concerning the issues with my home. I have a paper trail of emails concerning the issues. The following is a list of outstanding items that we were told would be corrected and have not: 1.Driveway & sidewalk cracked in need of repair. Sections of concrete that were left out need to be installed 2.Bent Screens not replaced 3.Caulking in master bath shower needs to be re done. Caulking has now started to peel off. Also, shoe molding in upstairs bathrooms need caulking 4.Skins need to be installed for water damage underneath kitchen sink and guest bedroom that was never repaired 5.Missing section of wood on stairs need to be addressed 6.Bathroom wall damaged from defective shower bar 7.Chip repair never done in master bath. (This along with the skin in the guest bedroom were items addressed on the walk through before the home was purchased. It should not take this long)
My home was purchased in May of 2015. After one year, I submitted a list of items to be corrected as per our agreement with Fischer Homes. Fischer Homes has not completed the list as required. A few items have been completed but several items remain. The main issue is the wood floor in the foyer and kitchen areas. The floor was installed incorrectly as described by an associate from the flooring company who came to our home and inspected the flooring. The floor squeaks in several places and is separating in most areas due to the poor installation. I worked with the local assistant superintendent, from Fischer Homes, about the issues and he said his hands were tied. The flooring company came in and replaced approximately 10 slats in front of the sink but did not address the rest of the areas. Pleas to the assistant superintendent has fallen on deaf ears. Several of my neighbors are experiencing the same problems with Fischer Homes not standing behind their warranty. We paid $270K for o
Return of earnest money
The sales people are the worstI was told by Ted Erickson (sales person) that "if I decided not to go with Fischer homes for whatever reason they would return my earnest money"He stated Fischer homes is not in the business of keeping people earnest money"Yet, it's been weeks and I haven't received itI have texts and voicemail to support thisI also have a form that was recently sent to my realtor that tried to trick me into signingBut my realtors was smart enough to send it to his company's lawyerThe lawyer said not to sign it because it was misleading I want my money returned
we bought this beautiful home in September of We had many warranty issues and code violations, and most were addressed It took months to address the the issues found in the initial walk through prior to purchase and the items found after we moved in We are still finding little things that we know will be addressed at the month warranty point However, the biggest issue we have, which is our floor joists in the basement supporting the main level of the house has not been resolvedThey did some work to try to resolve the problem, but they didn't install properly to begin with and the result is we have floor vibrations through out our main living spaceThey had an independent engineer come out and say that the joists and supports are adequate now We had to pay $for another engineer to come out and say that although it "meets code with the fixes" the result did not fix the problemThe fix would cost several thousand dollars as we have been told by several contractors we have had look atWe sent the report to Fischer a month ago, and still no answer months we are waiting! Unacceptable!
silt fence failure property damage
I have on going issues with improper drainage, no burm on a construction property next to my houseNow with the storm this weekend my yard, playset and sandbox have been damaged by a lot of water and clay that came through and improperly built silt fenceI need to work with someone at the top and not receive the lip service we will get it in the futureWish is the local guys way of saying not my problem
Purchased a Market (already built) home from FischerA presale home inspection revealed two major issues 1) improperly installed siding 2) drainage issue in rear yard that threatens to flood basement among a host of other issuesAfter six weeks of occupying the home and numerous visits, meetings, inspections and promises, only one minor fix has been accomplished
A manufacturer's representative for James Hardie Siding stated the siding was improperly installed after viewing pictures I sent him of the installationFischer hired an independent inspector to refute the claimNo actions have been taken to fix the issue
An independent landscape contractor I hired proposed a solution to the water drainage issue which I forwarded to FischerFischer's landscaper agreed to the solution but nothing has been done
Each issue that arises makes me more suspect of the quality of construction even though I was assured the home was "Built to Code"

Fischer Homes builds very shoddy homes that barely pass inspections For months I have complained about the following items that Fischer has blatantly refused to address:
Corners where walls meet ceilings are far from straight Many rooms have corners where the ceiling drops about an inch to meet the wall Master bedroom floor is not level Whole room shakes when somebody walks in the room Main floor, whole house shakes when you walk through the house Gutter drain overflows and ground under driveway is eroding Ground just washes away under the driveway and nobody can tell me, or bother to investigate, where the dirt is going Fischer promised to get a contractor with a camera to run in the drain That was months ago Driveway is eroding Concrete pour was done in the middle of a rain storm and the driveway looks like crap and is eroding away Clouds of white dust blow away when I use my leaf blower Fischer talked to my minor child and believes this

I am a senior citizen who purchased a Fischer Home In the process of my home being built, the question of my neighbors air conditioning unit came into question It was going to be installed across from where the master bedroom of my home was to be built Sound sensitivity is an issue for me especially when this purchase was to be my retirement home
The initial promise to me, by a builder employed by Fischer Homes was that if the sound issues caused by the air conditioning unit proved to be a problem, Fischer Homes would fix it, that he would guarantee it and said they would fix it, The Fischer Homes builder said that he would research the ways and means to fix this and that they would deal with it at the time of my month Final Service, even though this was not a Warranty Issue Since buying this home,, this has been promised to me verbally and with a hand shake by three of Fischer Homes builders, at different times, while addressing the issue I even have the sign off sheet where this issue was designated not as a warranty issue but as a courtesy to me The builder, the Construction Supervisor and the assistant Fischer Homes builder all , verbally or written, assured me they would make corrective measures to fix this The stress and sleepless nights have been horrible for meFischer Homes did not Honor their wordI would never recommend, if asked, for anyone to have a home built by Fischer Homes

Our brand new home turned out to be just an expensive a fixer upper
The many days of repairs have already disrupted our lives, and our home still isn't fixed after days My wife was crying
No quality control was used in the construction of our homeThey quickly built our home paying no attention to quality, fit, and finish and keep trying to push off fixing their errors - no matter how major - till the month period
The construction supervisors make promises of quick repairs that turn into liesThey're just trying to keep people quiet till the warranty time is up; meanwhile, they expect you to live in embarrassment as your visitors and guests notice all the mistakes made in the construction of your new home When we complained about poor fitting/sharp edges on our fireplace, a neighbor said that at least it's not crooked like his
The entire upstairs floors were not level and severely creaking and still are an issue They've lifted the carpet so much in the

Since we purchased our home 2/we have had the worst experience with getting warranty work completed by Fischer Homes They have had to replace our driveway, repair an uneven sub-floor upstairs It?s been over months and they have been unable to fix the problems with our distorted ceilings and we are still waiting on them to replace the crown molding on our stairs, repair nail pops, and painting issues No one with this Company has a clue what?s going on and they seem to use vendors/contractors who often show up and can?t communicate because of language barriersFisher Homes leave it to the homeowner to work with the contractor with no oversight from their Superintendent who is nowhere to be foundOur frustration of working with them has reached the end
