Maronda Homes will replace the concrete on a one time basis for the homeowner. Thank You,Bob G[redacted]Maronda Homes

While I don't know for sure whether or not you assessed the garage door because I wasn't home (my wife was and she doesn't recall Maronda looking at it), I will take your word for it, though I do appreciate a second look when you come to fix the floor squeaks. I will caulk the second floor window as you describe. If water still penetrates, then we will have to go from there.

Dear Mrs. [redacted], I was able to review the issues with our production manager for the home today. The yard was late ge4tting in as the weather in the beginning of the year was overly wet, and we where unable to get yard in. The yard has been completed at this point.  As in Maronda Homes...

policy book, we grade and seed lots to 50" away from the home or the toe of the slope. While the property line may extend beyond that, the seeded portion is to 50" This is what the customer is referring to, and states the other homes are done the same way. This is correct, and up to the code for the township. Our supervisor will stop at the home tomorrow to review if material had been dumped in the far section and if so will be removed.  We will also review the yard stakes and determine if any yard has been lost. the lot next to this customer is under construction and the property line will be completed with seed once construction is completed.  The swail in the rear of the yard is just that. It is a swail to promote proper water flow around the home. I am not sure why this would not have beenrelayed to the customer as we do not install piping or French drains on any home, and the swails are our drain system, I apologize if this was not relayed to the customer but this information is also in our warranty handbook should it be needed. Thank You,Bob G[redacted]Maronda Homes

Dear Mrs. [redacted],   The roof is being repaired today. Our roofer has contacted us and is on the roof today.   Thank You,  Bob G[redacted] Maronda Homes

Dear Mrs. [redacted],  Our third party HVAC company has confirmed the wrong size unit was installed in the A/C. We will change out the unit to a 3 ton unit per the sizing requirements. Our office has sent this information to the homeowner as well. The replacement will most likely take place in the...

spring due to current weather conditions.   Thank You,  Bob G[redacted] Maronda Homes

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted] and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint.  For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.Due to the length of time that it took for the business to respond, I am not willing to close this complaint until the unit is replaced per the initial submitted energy report. While I understand that the replacement may not be able to be installed until the spring, had the initial request, which was send October 11th, not been ignored as it was, this could have been completed. Therefore, I will not ignore my over-riding inclination that this company will continue to put this off, (as they have with everything since we closed on our home) even in the spring, and will not consider this issue closed until the unit is actually installed.

Bob, I'm not sure who Mrs. [redacted] is but your lack of attention to detail shows in your construction sites. I have been very diligent to avoid new homes being built in the neighborhood unless they are neck door & cannot be avoided. I have been accepting to the fact that I live in a new construction plan & that this could happen but three times to vehicles my husband & I own & five times to the vehicles in our cul de sac is unacceptable. I am pursuing my request to have the cost of my tire & installation reimbursed from Maronda. That would be the responsible thing for your company to do in this situation. I know you have stated in the past that there's no way to prove where the nails have come from but common sense would tell you that if I start my car with no low tire pressure warnings, drive through the neighborhood from one cul de sac to the other & have to stop because of my tire going flat, that I picked up the nails within that 1,000 feet stretch of road.  Im asking Maronda to do the right thing. To reimburse me for ONE of the THREE tires ive has to replace. 
Regards,
[redacted]

Dear Mrs. [redacted] Maronda Homes will provide the homeowner filters and paint as described in our prior emails. Our site supervisor will drop these off at the front door within 3 business days. We will call ahead to see if a day works when the customer can be home. As for the soft close hinges I have reviewed the paperwork and documents as well as what was installed in the home. The home does have the correct hardware that was on the signed selection sheet by the homeowner.  I do apologize that the information was not understood completely or relayed in a manor that could have been better understood, but the hinges and selections are correct and installed in the home. The documents provided do state soft close door hardware, and does not state drawer. Unfortunately the drawer hardware is not included in this cabinet grade.  Thank You,Bob G[redacted] Maronda Homes

Dear Mrs. [redacted],  I have had a chance to review the outside of the property in question as well as speak to the homeowner yesterday. While we had a Maronda representative at the home prior to this who spoke to the customer, which is no longer here at Maronda, I have been involved with this home...

when the issue first raised. As of todays visit I did not see anything on the outside of the home to show any issues on the construction behalf that was visible.  I did view the pictures sent in by the homeowner which shows effervescence on the rear corner. What I would propose is we can preform a water test if the homeowner would approve. We would be willing to soak the foundation from the outside to show that water is penetrating to the inside. Again from the outside I see no signs of that that are visible. If we can produce an issue that warrants the foundation being dug up we will do so. Wile we preform the water test, we will drill a small hole in the interior block and inspect with a camera as well. I have sent this response as a reply to my personal email tot he homeowner as well,.Thank you,Bob G[redacted] Maronda Homes

Dear Mrs. [redacted]   I have been able to review some of the customers complaints. The ones I cannot answer, I will have our service manager reach out to the homeowner and review them with her.  I will try to answer her complaints in order.  The stoop has been replaced, and the...

railing has been re installed. From my understanding with supervisor, the new concrete slab did not match the customer steps. I will have our production manager stop to install a longer grab rail to eliminate the gap seen.  The grout that was used in the bathroom was cracking. We have had a design change and do not install the grout where it meets the pan. I will confirm that the right product was installed and have our service manager contact the customer.  The next three items have been addressed. It is possible to see condensation on the windows during extreme cold days, or where the humidity in the home exceeds outside. This has been relayed to customer on earlier emails. The carpet has been addressed by Maornda and our Flooring company. The carpet was selected prior to the home by the homeowner. The carpet does carry the manufacture warranty as well. I believe there was a claim submitted to the manufacture but was denied. Sliding door lock has been replaced on two occasions. We assume the door is being opened while locked thus causing the issues. No further replacements will be done under the warranty. Maronda Homes uses a center return air system HVAC system. it is not calculated on the standards the homeowner sent in to us, nor is based on square footage alone. I will confirm that correct unit per our HVAC designer  is installed and notify the homeowner. While I do understand the homeowner feels that these items are not satisfactory, they are build using certified products and installation methods.    Thank you,  Bob G[redacted] Maronda Homes

Dear Mrs, [redacted]    I have reviewed our files and show the first complaint to come in apr. 17 2012. The homeowner closed on 11-24-10. While it is possible it was noted on the SIX month inspection, Which I was not able to pull at this time and am working on getting from storage,this is...

the information I have at hand. We will contact the homeowner and review this in person this week. I am unsure of the repair made previously and what the condition was at that time. Our warranty handbook has information on spalling of concrete and the causes, and possibly why the repair was made prior to. Again, we will look at the concrete this week.  Thank You,  Bob G[redacted] Maronda Homes

Dear Mrs. [redacted],   Homeowners where pre-qualified as shown in the automated underwriting approval, but where not final approved for the loan by the underwriter. I have also included a copy of the Hand Money Contingency Letter that was signed by the homeowners. As it states in the letter...

that if there is not a mortgage commitment within 30 days the buyers must send in and invoke a termination of this agreement. The homeowners had not informed Maronda Homes Inc. that they wish to terminate the agreement, nor that they had not been fully approved by 3 lending institutions. As stated in the letter, without notification of termination the hand money is non refundable.   Thank you,Bob Go[redacted]Maronda Homes

I spoke with the homeowner, as well as email communication, and have confirmed that the flooring contractor has contacted her and starting he process for repair. Thank You[redacted]Maronda Homes

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted], and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint.  For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.
First, the floor squeaks have not settled.  There are still significant squeaks in the kitchen by the basement steps and near the front door by the 2nd floor steps. The squeak in the kitchen is most noticeable. I request that Maronda seek out the cause of the problem and fix it.Second, it was determined that the water is coming through the window above the front door. This issue has been occurring since day 1. Therefore, it is not the homeowner's responsibility. Maybe Maronda did not properly install or seal the window. Water should not be passing through and dripping between my front door and storm door. There is most likely water damage to the house because of this. I expect this to be investigated and fixed.Third, I would like someone to come to my house and assess the garage door. It clearly wasn't installed correctly.
Regards,
[redacted]

dear Mrs. [redacted],  I have met with the homeowner on site and reviewed the yard with them. We are going to supply the homeowner with top soil so that they may change the grade to their liking.   Thank You,  Bob G[redacted] Maronda Homes

[redacted]We do not accept the response made by [redacted] on any account. First of all, as per our conversation, we never received a copy of the asphalt drives or concrete in either our warranty book nor in [redacted]'s email response.  This was brought to your attention in our phone conversation.  In response to the specific concrete issue, our issue is that the concrete was poured in inclement weather and not properly protected by the contractor.  There is clear evidence that this particular concrete froze.  It is evident, just by viewing the concrete, please review photos previously sent.  The surface of the concrete should in no way shape or form be effected by freeze/thaw cycles.  Nonetheless, concrete that freezes before it is properly cured can cause the current condition.   We understand that the rising and falling of concrete poured on grade can be effected by such cycles hence our concern in it not being tied in to the foundation.  Maronda's concern about water infiltration is unfounded, due to the fact, that said rods would be surrounded by concrete into a wall that is dead space and the concrete is above grade.  Lastly, if settling does occur then the riser dimension will become inconsistent and subsequently unsafe.  As far as HVAC system, the compressor unit is a 3 ton unit, the square footage of this house far exceeds the capability of this unit to cool the home-please reference previous attachments.  We are requesting the results of the J Load testing [redacted] confirmed with the HVAC designers. In regard to the pantry, if it was intended to be heated then there would be a vent.  Since there is NOT, one would believe it isn't meant to be heated except by ambient air temperature.  In response to [redacted]'s comment "nothing we can do with the layout", did Maronda design the home or not??  Did Maronda authorize the heating system within the home?  Our feelings are, something CAN and should be done.Please advise.

  I don't understand why it takes almost year to get some of these issues resolved and why I had to contact the Revdex.com to get anything resolved. On the issue regarding the grout in the shower, they filled in the missing grout with the incorrect color from what they originally put it. That needs replaced and done correctly. In regards to the carpet, I did select the carpet, but was never shown what padding would be under it. They use a very thin padding which is unacceptable. In regards to my sliding door, I am not opening it when it is locked. It is very easy to tell when it is unlocked and locked. The lever is either up or down. In regards to the air conditioner, that needs replaced. They are replacing and fixing many in this neighborhood because of various issues. I would also like to see how they calculate what ac goes in each home. I am very disappointed with the low quality products that maronda uses in every aspect of their homes. I would have never built a house with them.

Dear Mrs. Cook,   Maronda Homes did offer, as a courtesy, to build the homeowner a new set of steps. We where not using the old material. We where only using the railing section where applicable. Again the steps fell not because of the style of construction, but due to aged and rusted screws that broke off. This is typically a maintenance item. I have checked with [redacted] building codes office, as well as the PA State building code, and as far as attachment of the steps there is not a " code" on how they are to be attached. While Maronda does still build the steps the same way today, it is an acceptable practice for installation.  The building officer reviews the steps prior to home owner taking over the house. This was completed on this home as well, and was approved for occupancy. The code only states the the height of riser, and tread length etc.  Maronda Homes has offered to replace the steps with new ones as a courtesy, but will not re reimburse the homeowner a dollar amount.  As before should they wish to have this done, they can reach out to us at [redacted] Thank You,  Bob G[redacted]  Maronda Homes

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted], and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint.  For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.Maronda is replied by saying they would built us the exact same steps, using the same broken/cracked railing.  This is not acceptable because I had an inspector as well as three certified contractors come to look at them.  The steps were not ever up to code.  Steps do not simply fall off the porch if attached correctly. And, by reattaching that way it will not meet my townships minimal requirements.  All we are asking is for the money to replace them correctly.  
Also, it clearly states on their website that all warranties are transferable. See attachment.
Regards,
