Approximately 12 years ago my parents purchased their first home from these crooks, this was the biggest mistake they ever made in their lives. Let's start from the beginning, growing up my family came from a less fortunate environment so when we finally have enough money to buy our own piece of land and have a home built this seemed like our chance to taste the American dream. That dream would quickly turn into a nightmare as time passed. When building our $150, 000 house they ordered and charged us for way too many windows bricks as well as many other materials, then on top of that the company that was contracted to build the house would come back to steal those materials we paid for. As time passed we realized the attic was never insulated, the windows were put in backwards and never properly sealed, our garage was never built they just left a huge pile of bricks in the front yard, the foundation wasn't properly done so the house shifted and the ceilings for most of the rooms began cracking. After all this starts taking place we contact them and find out they went out of business and changed to a different company then another company and now they are an energy company in bankruptcy. To ensure that people like my family can never sue them for their shady business practices. For the icing on the cake I recently realized they were paying $1381 dollars for 30 years on the home that was destroyed in hurricane Harvey and now valued at $80, 000. If you do the math that's $497, 160 for a $150, 000 home that is an empty shell at this moment and since were lower middle class minorities with little financial education people like "Jim Walter" have the right to get away with doing things like this. If they did this to my family I can only imagine the things they have done to others, on top of that continuously change businesses and file for bankruptcy to hide the money this is the greatest lesson learned about how the system works.
