Linwood Custom Homes

We met with sales person Craig and told him that we wanted the package ,and total build price including everything with interior finishings at a mid price range. He gave us an estimate of 478,000. Gave us estimates of 10,000 for insulation, actual was 18,000, tree removal estimate 2,000 actual 5,000 and so on, then we find out at the last minute that there was a management fee that he never added into the original budget. The builder was fine but overall we felt misled by pricing .

My wife and invested approximately $170,000 with Linwood Homes to build our new home in Michigan. They were great to work with BEFORE the sale, but have been VERY disappointing after the sale. Most recently, they have shown us no respect as clients as we have worked to settle over $12,000 in additional costs, for which we believe Linwood is responsible. In our opinion, expect little service and respect after the sale. We would not recommend Linwood Homes to anyone.

the homes are gorgeous and the sales person mark was very nice and knowledgable. I wanted to put an addition on my cottage in 2005. I put down a deposit on the work and signed a contract. My economic situation changed and I delayed the project leaving my deposit with Linwood. this month i went back to them and asked to start the project up again but to change the original plan to something different that would better suit my budget and I don't need to make the cottage as big as I first thought I would need. I was told that i have to stay with the original package even though my contract is null and void due to the time lapse of 4 years. So now I'm in the process of hiring another company to do my reno and Linwood will still keeps my deposit. Beware of their contracts, if you sign a contract with them you have to have the goods delivered within 3 months of your signing otherwise you will be responsible for charges like price increases on lumber even after you signed for the listed package price. In my case the package price is $9,000 less than what i signed for in 2005. in order to get access to my money i would have to resign another contract even though it's not what i currently need or want.

i've had no response from the VP Craig
