Warning! We bought a model 2169 from Adams Homes and have come to learn there is a serious neglect when they build these models to flash the roof valleys correctly.

When my gutter guy came out to do his install he stated that on a previous subdivision he worked in there were more that a few with leaks. The builder is aware of the problem, yet seemed to neglect to address it accordingly and now we have some serious wall, ceiling, and roof damage. The company's worthless warranty the sell with these homes does not cover roof leaks, and the builder will not repair the damage caused by them failing to be built correctly. Even though there is also a 10 year structural warranty. The best they would do for us is send out a representative to take a look. He acknowledged (without even getting on a ladder) that the problems accoured due to improper flashing in construction and would be sending out someone to "fix" the problem. A couple guys came out and tore my roof apart to reveal the extent of the damage. (BAD)

Adams homes cut roofing trusses that had mold and rotten wood on them along with the plywood. I called the county to make sure they were qualified to be doing the work they were -due to their shady appearances and inability to speak english. Come to find out, they never pulled a permit for the work, and the trusses they were cutting are engineered and need to comply to wind codes ect.. Basically they put a bandaide over the problems and refuse to address the mold and rot that remains in my walls.

I'll be happy to send anyone pics of this damage. Currently we are finding and researching similar cases to ours and legal litigation will follow. I will post more details later.

You have been warned! This company Adams Homes of Northwest Florida, or whatever they go by, is shady at best. They admitted to knowing there was a problem in prior constructions of the 2169 floor plan and knew instantly why my roof was leaking water, yet are leaving us to fix their mistakes.

Also, if you have a story or similar experience, we would love to hear it.

I also have 2169 and roof is leaking around flashing in front bedroom

Adams had no idea that there was a problem before they ever built this house.... this is poppy ***. They did however find out about the issue after building that floor plan and realized there was a problem. At that point I'm surew there were a few houses to be repaired.

1- No builder is resposible for subseqequential damages

2- it is satisfactory to splice trusses. To be honest dependind on how they actually did the repair could be as strong or even stronger that the original jack that was in place. there are repair guidlines to follow from the truss company.

3. You complain of the mold then hastily condemn ADAMS from removing your mold issues.

4. you get more bees with honey than you do with spice. once you go to talking about litigation you take the ball out of their court. ADAMS will help and many times and do more than they should. Once you brought litigation into the equation for liability reasons they probably did what they had to legally cover themselves.

You cant make all of the people happy all of the time and sometimes no matter what you do you will still have a few cry wolfe. I'm not saying that your situation did not warrant any further attention but I promise the way you have handles yourself influenced the outcome of your problems.

to be honest the rest of the problem with any additional mold of mildew could probably be fix with a drwywall repair and maybe a piece of insulation or 2.

Has anyone used this builder in Troutman, N.C. recently? What were the results?

Thanks.

As crazyas it is, we contacted "Holmes on Homes" on HGTV and he and his crew came down to our home last year and repaired everything to exceed the standards and it cost us nothing. We sent to the show evidence of what was wrong and we were on the show and received phenomenal upgrades to the foundation, walls, plubing, insulation and a wide array of other things. Give them a shot at correcting the problems.
