Coventry griesbach sales team empty promises

I am currently in the building with Coventry and so far it has been a disaster, they promised us the show home but we basically are getting a spec home. Basically we are paying for all our upgrades cash that were promised in the initial price. Basically anything the sales team tells you will be a complete lye. I would not reccomed Coventry to my worst enemy

Great builder. Good after sales too!

Moved into our new home since Nov 2015 (we signed the papers back in late Summer 2014) and now is a good time to write the review....I must say the Sales team in my area is superb. Very prompt in answering queries and ensuring the entire process is as smooth as it possibly can. Sure, some matters(delayed building permit, rough grading approval, etc.) are beyond their control but they do keep you informed. I even received periodic in-progress building photos(exterior and interior) via email.

I must also commend both the Site Superintendent and the Warranty Dept folks. Very professional, responsive and good following ups. Little things that do go wrong but they all get addressed quickly and efficiently...with one notable exception, but no fault of theirs.

Coventry Homes should re-evaluate a certain external vendor, in this case, their kitchen cabinet vendor(company name withheld). But kudos to the Warrant Dept for stepping up and going beyond, in ensuring the external vendor make good their promises.

great builder

I built a few years ago and after hearing some colleagues horror stories I had to send a review with what a great experience we had. We had some little issues during the build but everything was addressed quickly.
We had minor issues after moving in but the warranty department was great to work with and even contacted me to book a review.
Coventry is a great builder.

So far so good....

So far we've had excellent customer service, had good suggestions, prompt replies, advice, and attention to details. We are in the process of building so will review again during process but so far so good. Our manager is excellent, patient and seems to know her stuff. We've had many requests which have all been met and nothing has been unreasonable in price or considered an unattainable upgrade. We've done our research though so we've gone into this process educated and prepared, with a clear vision of what we want. Rest assured we are aware it will not all go smoothly but from what we've experienced to date, it has been a good process so far.

totally agreed, they are not a customer service oriented company and very expensive. don't fall for their upgrade bs; not flexible at all after taking your money; taking forever to reply; one day tell you that sure we can do it, the next day it's like sorry we can't do it; extremely disappointed, stay away from them!!!

new house

We love our new house. The sales staff were friendly and knowledgeable and the final product was just as expected. There were some small issues during construction which were handled promptly and competently by the superintendent. Since moving into our house, we had the first warranty review which brought up small deficiencies. Corrections were done on time as promised; all trades entering our home were professional and knowledgeable. We have recommended this builder to several friends.

New Home

Do NOT build with Coventry homes. Horrible horrible service once papers were signed. Windows were put in wrong and broken. We informed the builders on numerous ocasions that these windows were wrong. Our siding was done 3 times and it's still not done properly. The first heavy rainfall flooded our kitchen (again due to the windows not being properly installed/inspected) Then Coventry made us feel horrible about the incident and that it really was no big deal and that this can happen when it "rains too heavy". No fans brought in nothing.....Coventry are not capable of hiring competent contractors. Craftsmanship and quality is not worth the money you spend. They can sell houses but they sure can't build them!!!!Very unprofessional.

Custom Home

Disaster! Home quality is very poor. Time frame to build is over one year and cost is FAR too high for the product delivered. They use the cheapest contractors in the business. Do not follow codes and their inspectors pass poor work.

Company Response

Hi James,

I am sorry for your experience. I noticed that you are from Cibolo, Texas. Is it possible that your review was meant for Coventry Homes in Texas and not the Coventry Homes based out of Edmonton, Alberta Canada? I believe your review may have been posted to our profile by mistake.

New home

Builder will do what they require to make the sale, but not fulfill any agreements once paperwork is signed. Terrible service at all levels from that point forward. Regret building with Coventry Homes. Do not recommend - not worth the grief when you are spending that kind of money.
