Fireside Homes Inc.

I used Fireside to build my house and was impressed start to finish. Even after moving in March of 2022 they are so helpful. All the contractors they work with are also pleasant. I also love how they truly are a custom home builder. They have the resources and ability to literally bring your ideas and dream finishes to life. Structurally, I was impressed with the standard of quality and materials used in comparison to other builders in my subdivision, and when doing my research to choose a builder. They really care about their home projects, and if I wanted something changed or fixed it would always have a solution in a prompt manner. 10/10 would recommend hiring Fireside to build your next home/project. I honestly dont know anyone who would say they would use the same builder twice, but I most definitely would use Fireside again if I decide to ever build another property.

My wife and I have always wanted to have fireside homes build us a custom home, from the time we started the design of the house until the closing we noticed that all the materials used were top notch and the sub contractors were very experienced and professional and never tried to talk you out of some thing we wanted done just because it caused them more work. The fireside office staff paid great attention to the details of the house and if we picked some thing out that would effect our budget they would tell us so we always new were we were with our new home progress and cost. In our home we have 2" by 6" exterior walls that allow for more insulation ( firesides Idea) this has caused our home to be very energy efficient and holds the heat in better than any home we have owned before as well a the interior very insulated from the out side noises. When you build a new home it can be stressfull but in our case Fireside did all the heavy lifting so we could set back and enjoy the experience of having a custom home built to our spec's and after loving other peoples fireside houses and can say having them build our home was the best move we made. Thank you to the Fireside team for making this happen. Bee and Deb Keiser Service: Custom home design

I’ve worked with a few builders in the past, I feel like Fireside’s customer service and attentiveness is what sets them apart from the rest.

Your house is the biggest investment of your life, you need to pick the right builder or General Contractor. I like to tell you our experiences with Fireside Homes. We contracted with them in January of 2020, little that we know, it was going thru a transition from the previous owner to a new gentleman by the name of James Byers. He seems to be a nice person and was working for Fireside. Well, then Covid-19 hits and understandably things got delayed. When things get going, here are issues I had to deal with: First Problem: * I asked: do you soil sample study? Answer: no we dont, we know what we are doing and solid sample doesnt do anything. * I asked: do you put in Helical Piers? Answer: yes, we give you an allowance of $10-15K and that is sufficient. Final result: over $60k in Helical Piers that we had to pay extra. The lack of experience, due diligence is costing me more money at the start. Second Problem: I wanted garage to be at same level as entry way to the house. The house was raised and they forgot to adjust the blueprint, now the entryway is a foot higher. That is not attention to details and management of the project is certainly lacking. Their solution: built a 12 ft ramp in the garage rendering 1/3 of the garage useless.. This is a joke. Third Provlem: They had to redo the outdoor ceiling 4 times: * First time, the wrong material was out up, had to be torn down. * Second time, it was too tight, ceiling warped. * Third time, wrong color. * Fourth time, it was good after some adjustments to gutter system. It took 6 months. If you dont mind looking at halfway done ceiling, it should alright. It must cost them quite a bit of money, but is it the customers fault? The lack of project management, attention to details and lack of experience is showing. Fourth Problem: The gutters downspouts had to be adjusted multiple times to avoid water from over spilling. The new owner said to me that the gutter company doesnt want to work at our house because we are too picky? Really, gutter spilling over is my issue? It was finally fixed WOW! Fifth Problem: Constant change of sub-contractors causing delay and the new one is not familiar with the job and needed to be guided and explained what is needed. Their story: sub-contractor is not good, we used a new one. Humm? Sub-Contractors: ( unconfirmed ) they dont pay bill, we dont want to work for them. I am not surea bit suspicious! Sixth Problem. Lots of promises to get things done, not only that they dont follow up, things didnt get done. The saddest part of this whole thing is that they put together a good product. They built a very nice home with good quality. Their business philosophy is: if we eventually get to you , then that is good enough. It might take a year: Geez! The lack of business experience of the new owner is causing stress for their customers, it is costing him lots of money and the solutions are easily resolved if he has pride in his product. He made lots of promised, but never fulfill is commitments. It just Words not Deeds! I can go on but will stop now. Here are some business 101 lessons: 1) Inspect what you expect: All your employees came from the same pool, but if you dont look at their work and there is no process in place, you are fooling yourself. 2) You need to address unhappy customer asap before they stew on it, fester and it became a big issue: Hello! In conclusion, if you dont mind: Lack of experience Lack of attention to details Lack of care for the customers Lack of communication skill Then they are your builder! Good luck.
