The media has been reporting stories about quality concerns with a number of central Ohio builders.  This web site is intended to share our personal experiences with Duffy Homes, an Edwards Company, beginning with the July 2003 purchase of our Duffy Home.  We feel that it is important to share our story with consumers and to encourage other consumers to share their stories.  Our experience has also taught us the importance of researching recommendations proposed by a builder.

Our basement leaked sporadically from the time of purchase.  We reported the problems to the builder numerous times, and they informed us that repairs had been performed to prevent additional leaking.  In the fall of 2004, our basement walls cracked and began to leak on all sides of the foundation.  We promptly notified the builder and discussions began regarding the appropriate repairs to be done.  Even though we had a guaranteed external waterproofing product applied at the time of construction, Duffy Homes suggested they apply a waterproofing epoxy to the basement walls to prevent further water intrusion.  We became concerned and hired our own engineers to evaluate our situation. 

Much to our surprise, the structural and civil engineers noted many problems with the construction of our home.  These included paper in the walls where they had expected to find rebar and mortar, and structurally significant cracking, just to name two.  Some of the issues with our home are highlighted in the photo gallery.
