[name removed] is an excellent construction supervisor! Excellent communication and follow through. We still see some poor construction items such as light fixtures poorly installed and different kinds of screws behind face plates. Not enough flexibility in making small/minor changes during build process.

They don't have customer service for things that went wrong after moving in. We moved in mid December 2024-now May 23-2025. We have had 5 items that needed to be fixed. 1) Outside facet-finally fixed 3 weeks ago. 2) Sliding doors-Very hard to open/close. They came out 3 times and finally last week they fixed it. 3) Crack window-still is not fixed. 4) Bathroom-Water Closet light does not work-loose connection-fix 1 month ago, went out again and still needs to be replace. 5) Kitchen Cabinet are uneven in one section-Still as of May 23 not fixed.

We were fortunate to have a great builder. Other friends haven’t been as lucky. We have a stove issue he even though we paid 3000.00 for upgraded package. Now we have to jump through hoops with whirlpool. The pine straw is horrible. If an upgrade was offered (white shells or stone) I’m positive many would do that. It doesn’t have to be replaced saving in landscaping fees. With only 2 options, our homes would still look alike.

I encountered an agent in the sales office that "put me on a list", refused to update me about my placement on the list, and then was removed from the list and put on a different "cottage" list when I was on the Villa list. That cost me 18 months of time and money since there were numerous price increased during that time. Looked elsewhere, but came back and found a new agent who was fabulous. So not happy with the purchasing process.

All in Minto has been responsive to our needs. One issue I will CONTINUE to bring up is the garage door. LOUD squeaking and creaking as if it is going to break at any time. I have spoken to other home owners with the same issue and [name removed] has corrected the issue for them. Correcting this should NOT be the homeowners responsibility. My wife will only use the front door and not the garage for this reason. How sad is that for the home that costs so much. Will also add that I have brought up before so, more than likely, this survey is never really read by anyone.

Like the friendliness of the staff and quality of the construction. Like the rules but it seems they are rarely enforced: speeding in the community, dogs not always on leashes, parking on streets and blocking sidewalks.

Since we moved in, we have to have three breakers replaced due to being to either being defective or to small to carry the load. We have had to call out about our garage door making a horrible noise to which someone came out and spayed something on the rails which seemed to help about a day, so I bought some white lightning grease from Home Depot and take care of it myself. Lastly, we reported our water coming out of our faucets containing black gunk and small waste particles. I even sent a video. A consultant called and set up a date to come out several days later; however, we had a family emergency and flew to Denver during this time. I forgot about the appt cause I was worried and focusing on something else. I received an email from the person and responded to set up another time due to the situation. She never replied, and honestly, I am tired of dealing with Minto and there reps. We once owned a home in Loveland, Colorado that was a DR [name removed] built subdivision and to tell you the truth, we received better service from them. In regard to the water issue, I found a local company that came out and installed a whole house filter system ($1,850.00) that has taken care of the problem. I really don't expect much from my feedback since it seems to be the Minto way: delay, delay, and the customer just gives up.

The kitchen cabinets are our only complaint, but they are still trying to repair them.

I’m having some issues with my landscaping and don’t get much of a response when I put in a work order

[name removed] from the HOA reached out about my experience and concerns. I responded with concerns about the extremely low level of the pond next to my home. I've watched other ponds in the community and this pond looks terrible compared to the others. I paid a premium for this lot and am extremely disappointed with my lot. [name removed] has not responded. I believe there is an engineering issue with this pond. The area nearest my house looks more like a drainage ditch than a pond. As I said, there has been no response from anyone regarding this issue.

I am very disappointed is the lack of response time on problems with the home being addressed and honesty.

Assigning a Care specialist to us is a great asset. Whenever we have an issue we call [name removed] and she takes care of the issue within a few days.

I had a roof leak that affected my dry wall and flooring. I think it too long to complete the repairs

We were fortunate to have a great builder. Other friends haven’t been as lucky. We have a stove issue he even though we paid 3000.00 for upgraded package. Now we have to jump through hoops with whirlpool. The pine straw is horrible. If an upgrade was offered (white shells or stone) I’m positive many would do that. It doesn’t have to be replaced saving in landscaping fees. With only 2 options, our homes would still look alike.

Getting repairs done after move in is very hard. I have went through three representatives and still have unfinished work in my house.

All in Minto has been responsive to our needs. One issue I will CONTINUE to bring up is the garage door. LOUD squeaking and creaking as if it is going to break at any time. I have spoken to other home owners with the same issue and [name removed] has corrected the issue for them. Correcting this should NOT be the homeowners responsibility. My wife will only use the front door and not the garage for this reason. How sad is that for the home that costs so much. Will also add that I have brought up before so, more than likely, this survey is never really read by anyone.

Our home was well built. We had an outside inspection done and they found minor things. This made us very happy.

Quick response to all my inquires or issues. [name removed], our [name removed] representative was attentive to any issues we had, and responded in a very professional and personal way. When he was not available, other representatives at [name removed] responded in the same way. Everyone from the office was polite and anxious to meet our needs, weather it was a phone call to the office or a home visit. Thank-You!

Liked: The professionalism of all the individuals involved, the follow-up of our Mastercare rep, the ease of working with the design center, the whole experience has been positive. Disliked: the long wait time and not being able to pick out the lot we wanted, although we ended up in a perfect spot.

Like the friendliness of the staff and quality of the construction. Like the rules but it seems they are rarely enforced: speeding in the community, dogs not always on leashes, parking on streets and blocking sidewalks. Also dislike the lack of info from Minto/LMWS such as what’s being built in places (cleared area near amenities, West Bay Center new buildings, marina status).

Honestly, we have had tenants living in our cottage for the past year who have been reporting back to us. There were several items on the list that needed to be taken care of after our midyear review that were never done. Still scrambling to get these things taken care. we will have a better idea, November when we actually move in for the winter.

the building process was easy and painless; now that we are in our home, the warranty and repair process is a little hit or miss
