I called both the Air company as well as the City of Round Rock inspector who informed us that this will settle over time and become uneven, but we are still getting pushback to complete the job that is in the plans of the house. This rating reflects BBB's opinion about the entire organization's interactions with its customers, including interactions with local locations. "Meritage is an awesome builder.

Our community was switched from Wesley Chapel, where homes are priced significantly higher to Zephyrhills, which is a small rural city with a prison. When the change occurred they let no one out of their contracts without threatening to keep the $10,000 you are required to put down.
We decided, after looking at several home options, to opt for a new build with Meritage in Waltons Grove In Mount Juliet Tennessee, set to be available upon our arrival. We put down 10k in escrow to hold this lot and home and were approved for contingency. Two weeks later, after returning to Colorado preparing for our move, we were told from our realtor that they received another offer on our home that was not contingent and that they may be terminating our contract.
Most Recent Customer Review
The quality of work is terrible and there is no level of craftsmanship in the home. We purchased a brand new home and it looks like a used home. For the price of this home we should not be having this many issues. We then had to inform the construction manager that the kitchen plumbing was placed in the living room . We were then delayed by several weeks because they had to cut open the concrete to reroute the plumbing for the kitchen.
First, we were informed that we had 24 hours to decide if we wanted to proceed with purchasing a home or they would move onto the next person on the list. We wanted to be in that location so we said yes even though it was not the model that we wanted. I should have taken the pressure as a red flag right away. We had terrible communication with our first construction manager (#1) who did not update us at all and the sales manager would remind him monthly to give us an update on our home. All complaints are handled by the BBB where the company is Headquartered or a central customer complaint processing location.
Meritage Homes author review by Joseph Truini
We are in the house for two months and the punch list is too long to list here. To name a few, driveway was broken by sod installation and not repaired, The yard is washing into my neighbor's driveway. We are on the 4th service manager, a Mr. Know it all, but gets nothing completed and will not update us until we call. Our second construction manager quit the morning of our closing. The third construction manager (#3) was so disrespectful to our realtor on the phone regarding our third party inspection that she had another Meritage employee on site during our final walkthru. We went to the closing with a list of items that were supposed to be fixed.
They installed cheap under the sink outlets that cause leaks. Made them aware of cracks and chips all around house the moment we entered and yet they refused to touch up or fix in multiple areas. They planted a dead tree and refused to do anything about it. With Meritage you get poor quality home, bad service and a company that will not backup their warranties.
Building for you, at a higher standard.
We were not confident in the job because of the lack of communication so we got a foundation inspection done along with a pre-drywall inspection out of our own pocket. Fast forward a few months, we have a new construction manager (#2) and we were given a new closing date. Its location on this page may change next time you visit. BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period.

Not to mention, my husband has extreme allergies and cannot have carpet in the house, however if we put tile throughout, we will never see that money when we go to sell. On top of all of that, if our house doesn't appraise for the amount we paid for it, we are responsible for the difference. So if because we are now in Zephyrhills our house appraises for say $390,000. We are stuck paying nearly $30,000 in addition to the amount we paid for the house. The subsequent derailing of our plans was not only stressful but the lack of direct communication and accountability for this abrupt disruption was so disappointing to say the least. This company is a bulky and when a contract only works one way it’s enslavement.
