Calling all law firms

Are you interested in a potential class action suit against a builder/developer with DEEP pockets?

At Sun City Hilton Head, SC builder/developer Pulte Homes has built thousands of houses that don’t meet the SC building code. Documented in this blogsite, http://peretired.blogspot.com/, are numerous newspaper articles that detail deficient roof truss connections, stucco, foundation slabs, etc.

Basically, the basis for the class action suit is that thousands of homeowners (including me) at SCHH signed contracts with Pulte Homes for constructing a new house. We expected that the houses would be built according to the SC building code. They were not. The resulting damages to homeowners include costs for remedial construction (replacing stucco, installing hurricane clips at roof truss connections, installing roof bracing, etc.) and the loss in value that has resulted from Pulte delivering a shoddily constructed house instead of the one that we contracted for (that meets minimum requirements of the SC building code). Some defects are probably hidden. Other defects, such as defective stucco and cracked foundation slabs, are VERY expensive to fix.

Beaufort County, SC may also be liable for damages in that they issued certificates of occupancy for houses with known defects. Recent newspaper stories contained in this blogsite (http://peretired.blogspot.com/) tell how deficient roof truss connections and bracing, which were first made public in 2007, are still occurring today.

Dishonest, reckless, and arrogant Pulte Homes

.
When I retired and moved to Sun City Hilton Head, SC five years ago, I expected that the new house that I bought from Pulte Homes would be built to the normal standard of care. It wasn’t; and, MANY others weren’t either. Roof trusses are barely attached. Roofs leaked. Stucco was improperly mixed and applied. Pulte also did a poor job building community infrastructure—a collapsed retaining wall and stormwater lagoons that are poorly constructed, and an eyesore. All of this shoddy construction is well-documented herein.

I expected that Pulte would treat its customers well, as respected senior citizens. Instead, we’ve been treated like children. Pulte controls information that is given to residents through the community's slick publication, Sunsations, through emails, and by restricting information that is placed in lower mailboxes to only what Pulte approves. Pulte tells us what we should think on such issues as construction of our houses and community infrastructure, wetlands and other environmental concerns, incorporation of the community, golf course management, assessment fees, CC&Rs, etc. Pulte unilaterally changes CC&Rs without community input. Pulte fires chairmen of community committees and replaces duly-elected resident representatives on the community association board of directors with Pulte employees. The way that Pulte has run this community is an insult to the senior citizens who live here.

Needless to say, my retirement house and community haven’t turned out to be what I expected them to be. I have found Pulte Homes to be dishonest, reckless, and arrogant in their dealings here.

And, your government doesn’t protect you against shoddy construction, or dishonest, reckless, and arrogant builders.

I’m doing what I can to warn others, and, for change, so that others, including my children and grandchildren, won’t be subject to shoddy construction, and to dishonest, reckless, and arrogant builders.
