Home half built sitting in the elements for a month
my close date was may 31 here we are may 16 and they now tell me 100 days or more to complete the job. For the last 4 weeks my home sat in the rain and wind. my walls sat strapped in the mud and elements my poured basement sat water filled for who knows how long. I questioned ask the builder .com about this and they said the chance of 20% per cent chance of saturation and molding can and probably will occur, this is also in queens park area...stay far away from these people I now have to settle in court my grievance because all they tell me is everything's fine. here are some photos of the job over 4 to 5 weeks, you'll see no changes in wood piles and water standing,in basement.

Landscape Nightmare!
The grading performed by Faber Homes has left 2 inches of standing water in our yard and their claim is that they performed the grading so that storm water would run off to areas where it is collected. Well, it is collected in my yard. After numerous attempts at getting this fix and despite their very own sales rep, site foreman, and landscape contractor saying that this is a problem that needs to be fixed, Faber has done nothing. We also never received the topsoil that we were contractually promised as I watch them dig *** for a basement in out neighborhood and spread that all over our yards. When I approached the crew that was doing it they said, "the landscape contractors do the topsoil." I then called Faber Homes and told them not to spray grass seed until our grading was fixed and we received the topsoil. Two days later they sprayed grass seed over the fill from someones basement. We can not get anything to grow in most of our yard. When installing a patio that was only dug 6 inches deep, we had to dig up hundreds of rocks from the sizes of softballs to the size of many the size of basketballs and larger for a 10 foot by 12 foot area. This has been a battle for 2 years now and has not been resolved. We have tried everything, from the warranty process to lawyers. Caution to anyone building a Faber home, keep the money that they will hold in escrow from the grading and the lawn and use it to hire a reputable contractor who will do it right or you will be sorry. Many homes in our small neighborhood have had similar problems with them. One even had a french drain installed be them after the fact to try to deal with the water and Faber just ran it to the street where the water got dumped out and froze on the road creating an unsafe condition. The town even said that was illegal but Faber never came to fix it, the town had to dig it up and run it to a storm sewer the way it is supposed to! This has been a miserable experience and we have not been able to enjoy our yard or grow grass for 2 years! I will never deal with these crooks again and would urge anyone who is considering them to think twice!

Faber Homes - Review in Home Construction and Repair category
It was a nightmare..Talk to the neighbors before you buy.

Great experience
I'm a little surprised at some of the reviews I've read on here. We could not have been happier with our building experience. From our sales representative Anthony, to Anna who helped us navigate through the endless design options, to Jim who was the foreman on our build, everyone was wonderful. We started digging in May 2016 and closed in August, as promised. We had endless questions and concerns and every issue was handled and resolved quickly. Building a house is expensive and can be stressful. If you are looking for an experience that is without problems, setbacks and some compromise and disappointment, then I recommend you never build a house with ANYONE. If however, you are looking to build an affordable and beautiful home, in a great community, then I would recommend Faber to anyone. We love our house, we love our neighborhood and I can honestly say that we continue to periodically reach out to some of the Faber staff with questions and still, even after closing, are responded to quickly and with professionalism.

Covenants and restrictions for The Regency Park Subdivision
A document created and agreed upon with Forest Creek Equity owned and operated by Mr. Iacovangelo and the Town Of Greece was signed 11th day of May 2010. States in section 7 of this agreement that, " No licensed or unlicensed standard and/or recreational vehicals, mobile homes, camper ( pop-up,5th wheel, travel trailer or otherwise), commercial vehicals, step vans, BOATS, storage trailers shall be left in the driveway of any yard. All such vehicals may be stored in the garage. " This document and it rules do not apply if you have worked for Faber homes, recently purchased a Faber home, and live in Regency Park. I am very sure that this document was given to each owner from Faber including former employees. Then on the other hand it is not the responsibility of Forest Creek Equity, Faber, Gallo and Iacovangelo to be responsible for the actions of former employees or the Regency homeowners. This matter will be brought to the Town of Greece code compliance team. While talking to them I will also be bringing up non agreed upon fencing, over grown unsold lots that are so over grown with weeds and grass. So if you intend on purchasing a lot and home in the Regency Park Subdivision make sure you receive the " Covenants and Restrictions for Regency Park Subdivision" Understand the restrictions and guidelines before you make that commitment to purchase.

Faber Homes - Could be better, could be worse...
I built with another home builder in 2005 and then "upgraded" to another new home in 2013, this time by Faber. There were definitely bumps in the road BOTH times. No matter who you chose to build your house, YOU WILL HAVE ISSUES!!!! It is inherent in the process. I refused to build with Ryan because 2 friends built with them (in different subdivisions) and had issues - 1 had leaky roof and basement water problems, the other has sewer backup issues and they both were at their wits end getting the problems resolved. Another friend built with Gerber Homes - they have issues with poorly fitting windows and doors. I had to take Faber to task a few times on some issues during construction and during the warranty period. But I had to do the same with my last builder, so for me it wasn't much of a shock because I knew what to expect and how to deal with it. Overall, my house is solid and I haven't had any major problems with the big stuff (roof, plumbing, foundation, electrical). We do have nail pops there are minor issues that can be fixed down the line. Honestly, I would consider building with them again if I was looking for another new house down the line. The problem is the people equate "brand new" house with "flawless" house. This assumption will leave you disappointed and upset - you house will not be flawless. Worry about the big stuff not the nail pops! If the big stuff is fine, you can always fix the small stuff. And the best advice I could give you is read the Faber Warranty book cover to cover. If you don't understand what is in there, you WILL be disappointed. Also, make sure to go over your house with a fine tooth comb at pre-closing and the 6 and 12 month warranties - find every little issue and have them address it. Because, once 12 months have passed you will be on your own.

I don't understand the problems others are having... Our house is great!
We built our home in 2009. I felt compelled to write today because the only things I ever hear on our neighborhood FB page are complaints, and honestly, I have very few complaints about our experience with Faber and our home. We came from a 1930s house, so while I miss the old house charm, our new house is solid. While building, we weren't happy that we had to pay for the upgrade to architectural shingles, because that is the standard currently, but it was well worth the upgrade since most people with the 3 tab shingles aren't happy. Our roof is perfect. Many people complain about nail pops. We didn't have enough to even warrant our 12 month inspection. Our basement has never had a drop of water. We paid to upgrade our kitchen cabinets and it was well worth it. The ~$3600 we paid in cabinet and counter upgrades would have cost us $10,000+ to do on our own if we had decided NOT to upgrade and do it later. The flooring selection could have been better for the base options, but again, we chose to stay with what was included because we had a toddler and a dog. And honestly, 6.5 years later, we still have the same flooring and it's really holding up decently. Our only regret looking back now, which we can't change, is not going with 9 ft ceilings. It wasn't something that we even thought of at the time. We also wish our driveway were a bit flatter, but that's if I'm really looking for something to fix here... Our family is very happy with the house that Faber built for us. It's not a luxury home, but we also didn't pay for a luxury home. We paid for an average 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath house in a neighborhood with sidewalks. That's what we got.

Its your well being.......
If you think the price is right for a Faber Home, your completely completely mistaken. The homes are junk! The Employees are ***-holes! The Contractors are low paid scums! Save yourself 10 years of headaches, read the complaints, talk to the neighbors, walk through a couple homes during and after construction, have a lawyer read the Faber contract, call the local building department and they'll recommend a Builder with "integrity" Its common sense not to use them!!!

Don't do it..........
The only people happy with Faber Homes are the ones that don't know they've been screwed!!!!! And if you paid for the upgrades with Claridge then your screwed yourself even harder. knock on the neighbors doors, talk to his employers, call the building department, check the better business bureau but dont be fooled by the price of the house. The Owner is nothing more than a crook, he could make it as a lawyer so he decided to build houses and rip people off.

Speak to the neighbors before you buy, I wished I had.
Aweful experience since day one. The employees outright lie to you. I have spoken to many of my neighbors and not a one has anything go to say about there Faber experience. The basement floors crack, because they build the houses and let them sit for weeks before having the electric turn on. So without electric, the pump doesn't work and the rain water backfills through the pipes. One neighbor, bought her house in October of 2014 and has replaced the roof down to the particle board, because it leaked. The egrees window has leaked in many of these houses. Mine did on three separate rain storms. Months have gone by and they still haven't come to fix it as promised. I have actually fixed it by adding drain tiles and soil. There warranty department and customer service is useless. If you can get them to your place to "fix" a problem. It means that they will patch the problem not "fix" it. My brand new house had nicks and cracks on the cabinets. They came to "fix" them, they ending up adding molding to cover the nicks and cracks. My lawn looks aweful. It says in the contract that you are suppose to water the lawn after they install it. The problem is that they installed it in early July and I closed the end of July. It didn't rain in July, so it didn't get watered. I have seeded it and fertilized it and it still looks aweful. Faber says it my problem. These are just a few of the problems that I have had, There are many more. I bought a new house because I didn't want to have to spend the time fixing my old house. Now I am fixing a new house. In hindsight, I wished I never bought this house.

Bad product
Faber homes are cheap for a reason, so if you wish to life in junk with no chance of selling it later than Faber is for you. i dont wish to be treated poorly only to life in a problematic piece of ***. I personally work hard for my money and cant stand nasty people. Don't be fooled, the site foreman is a drug addict, the Contractors are unethical and if you chose an upgrade with Claridge it'll be the biggest *** "f" of your life. There's so many better builders out there. Shop around, get references, call the building department and most importantly read Faber's contract, its not in your favor.

Faber Homes Review from Springville, New York
I've lived in this piece of *** for over a year now and it's my fault. All I saw was a low price, should have remembered you get what you pay for. The warranty dept won't return my calls and now I'm stuck with a mortgage for junk.

Buyer beware!
Please trust me on this, don't spend your money on a Faber piece of junk. Their subs are poorly paid and in return you get a poorly made product. The Superintendent is an uneducated drug addict (he takes monthly drug tests), not to keep his job but because hes screwing the Owners daughter. Shes no prize either, taught by her Father Bernie, he's the big crook. He's a Lawyer but chose to screw people building homes because he's too unethical to be a Lawyer. Get it?If you wish not to trust me, drive through one of his subdivisions, talk to the Residents and take a look around. Its a dump, trash, rubbish, sinking driveways, no mailboxes. Look at the lawns, there's no topsoil!! Seriously save yourself the grief and aggravation.
