I have been reaching out to this company in hopes of getting a home built for quite sometime. They are unreachable and unprofessional. Not to mention that their base models have jumped up by almost $20,000, since the last time I spoke with someone. They are supposed to have price increases in March and April as well. Maybe this is why they refuse to return phone calls. Are they waiting for their prices to jump up two more times before they enter a contract, so they can get more money out of you?

We started the process with Fulford Homes June of 2021, and we were told it would be about 8 to 10 months to build a house. After a long 6 months we were not even close and it was going to take another 10 months to have a finished home. We could not get any answers from the people that made decisions and they never seemed to be available to discuss building the house. After the third time of setting up a date and time to go to contract, with no phone calls, emails or texts to cancel those meetings, we pulled the plug. I would highly suggest shopping around. There are much better builders in the area. They are also dishonest and price hike on every little thing.

Although I love the community I now live in I would never choose Fulford to build with again. Sub contractors cut corners and issues continue to pop up as time passes. The project manager does not hold sub contractors to quality work. I have lived in my home for 2 months and they have done nothing they said they would do since then. I haven't met a person in our neighborhood who hasn't had issues with their home and Fulford in general. They are pleasant upfront, but once building begins, watch out.

My husband and I decided to build with Fulford homes when we decided to make Illinois our last home. Andrea was amazing throughout the whole process. She treated us like we were family. She took the time to get to know us and our kids and helped us find the best solution for our family. Alex, our project manager, was so helpful and sweet. He was great to work with and put up with my many visits to our home when it was under construction. We have found our forever home.
