Gehan Homes
Reviews and Complaints
Very sad very stupid
we are so stupid as humans we want a big new home and we know its built bad but we still want it cause its new and new and well new. Not the fact that the roof is bad you have a infestation of mice ticks spiders bad bricks hidden mold foundation issues that will make this new home impossible to resale it.
I'm a home inspector you will never sell these homes without the buyer milking you for thousands.
News flash people, were at the top of our bubble in north Texas and our new homes will lose 20-30k by 2020 I guarantee it. My kids pediatrician dad is a wall street banker he is making margin calls and no one is paying.

Gehan Homes - House Construction Review
I just walked away from this builder for not building a home the way I wanted it. The sales representative was let go by Gehan.
I had a upgrade called above to below. It's where you can look from second story to living room. Gehan policy is to conduct a pre construction walk through prior to frame work. I was never given that option.
I had an entry door that cost 2000. The cost of the upgrade and upgrade deco door were added to my final price of home. The final price was sent to my mortgage company. I was charged twice for the upgrade, above to below.
The entry door wasn't going to be installed on home because they didn't order it. Gehan offered me free blinds for their mistakes, of course I didn't take that. I even offered to take a speck home that was the same home I was building. The price of the home I was building was 253,990.
The speck home was 279,400. They would not give me the speck home for the price of 253,990. I even attempted to negotiate three times. They dropped the speck home to 266,000 I countered with 260,000 and Gehan pay closing fee.
They said "NO".
I was told by Gehan the home I build wouldn't be marked for 253,990 but at a higher price. They wanted to make money off me at both end for a mistake they made.
Avoid Gehan Homes
Our Gehan Home is less than 4 years old. The windows Gehan installs are made of the cheapest materials. The glass is micro-thin (you will hear everything and heating/cooling is nono-exisitent) and the vinyl framing is already breaking down. BUT even worse is we have 3 windows which are leaking into the house. Our sheetrock is falling off the walls (pics attached - now are even worse). We’ve tried to contact Gehan; good luck. Calls go unreturned and they will only reply via email that, ‘your 1 year warranty has expired.’ We got the window manufacturer out and they confirmed the windows are strucuturally fine but the installation is not. Hmm....I wonder who installed them. So I’m looking at $5,000 to have windows re-installed.
We also had to have $700 worth of A/C repairs done as the installation of our A/C was done poorly. Several coolant lines were clearly pinched which grew into leaks. Our A/C bills soared unexpectedly until we had it fixed. Gehan Homes didn’t care to hear a word as ‘your warranty has expired.’ Hmm...who installed the A/C?
We continue to get squirrels and rodents in our attic. Climbing onto the roof it is very clear significant gaps were left between the roof line and easements and left unsealed. The gap is large enough I can fit my arm in it. Another $400 to fix all gaps.
I would never buy a Gehan Home again. They want to piece together a ‘structure’, get your money, and run. I have seen better construction out of TuffSheds at Home Depot. I tell every person I see/hear who is considering a Gehan Home to seriously rethink it.

Our new Gehan home has so many serious problems ! Do not buy Gehan home !
We bought new home from Gehan home about 3 years ago. From first year our ground had problems and roof needed be fix and now We had leak water from roof without strong wind.
the person fixed roof said We have more broken singles and comming out from your roof. We might need to fix whole roof or put new roof. We have lot of another problems also.Gehan did very poor job and used cheapest roof so they can make more money. they do not think buyers at all.
they did not want to work with you and they want to sell you and go to another person.
they do not think We have to live this house and We have a life. We do not know what we should do now We have to spend $10,000 more for new roof or what ?

Poor Quality vs Other builder's
Gehan Homes says that they use tankless water heaters and there not. There 1 of the very few builders still using a 50 gallon tank water heater that's in your garage.
They say that they're using a 16 SEER a/c unit and there not. It's a 16 rated unit. So, it's still a 14 SEER unit with a 16 SEER condenser. That means that they can get away with saying there using a 16 SEER A/C unit.
A horrible builder an they treat there employees like ***.
I went thru 3 sales people and 3 builders when I built my home. Make sure that you do your homework and stay away from this company.

Stay away from Gehan Homes
We bought our home in the Westwood development, we bought
the beams in our new home based on what we bought by seeing the upgrade in the model, it was stained and varnished pine but we got rough cedar. The builder chooses to ignore this matter.
The home was very dirty when we took possession and the quality of workmanship is sub-par. The painters and drywall crews did a sub-par job as a matter of fact the whole house is sub-par. I put signs up on my garage warning people about Gehan homes, three people two supervisors and Vicky from the model stopped by real fast not to resolve the issues, she came down and yelled at me and was very unprofessional. Seems all this builder cares about is getting you to sign off and take possession of your home and then you have to fight them.
They sold us a lot they didn't own and have heard stories from other buyers of similar things, like they couldn't build the house they wanted on lots they sold them. They seem to be very dishonest and only care about their profits.
I put my signs up only two days ago and haven't heard any Gehan home owners happy with them. I can go on for ever about this builder but the best thing I can tell you is DON'T build your new home with them YOU WILL BE SORRY

Greedy
Tried to purchase a Gehan home at $319,990 once we showed interest they bumped up the price 10K and try to say its because of demand and low supply. Its just them trying to get you to over pay for their *** product.
They also said i HAD to use their lender because all their appraisal people are bought to appraise high as the price is. They also wanted me to give $5000 of earnest money instead of $3500 so they can guarantee me that i will get the house and they will not sell to anyone else. These people are all about getting your money and nothing else.
Stay away as far as you can from this builder, there are other options out there, i am glad i did not agree to their terms and got screwed over as well. Especially now that i see their reviews are horrible.
