I live at

216

Pennbrook Lane

, Saddle Ridge, Dallas, PA in a home built by Mark Romanowski (Romanowski Development, Romanowski Custom Homes, RCH or whatever the current name is.)  It is my only intention to represent the facts about my homebuilding experience with Mark Romanowki.  The only thing I have ever requested from the man was to correct the errors in the home and fulfill the original contractual agreements, both of which he has refused to do in the most unprofessional, unethical, disrespectful and ignorant manor.

 

I had Murray J Miller Architecture review my original home plans and compile a list of errors and deletions.  They found a laundry list of items such as 5 feet of kitchen cabinet/counter space missing, dining room window missing, open rail staircase replaced with a wall, kitchen pantry too small, bathrooms laid out incorrectly, undersized shower installed, wrong closet doors, garage door in wrong location, undercut basement stairs. 

 

I have wet basement walls, for which the front corner of the home must be excavated to correct; defective carpeting that continuously sheds; inch gaps in the basement floor joints; visible and uneven drywall seams; large gaps between the floor and base molding; I had to repaint most of the interior because there was only 1 coat completed.  I have a chandelier in a 2 story foyer that is falling apart.  Over a year after removing an incorrectly placed sink in one of my bathrooms, Romanowski still hasnt replaced it.

 

As a first-time home builder, I feel I was completely taken advantage of.  I paid considerably more money that I would have with a large construction company and received the same spec-home type product.  My home was constructed in 86 days and I closed on it before I had a final walk-through (On a good faith assurance by Mark Romanowski). What I thought was going to be a special home for my family turned into a house mostly filled with items that would come up on homedepot.com if you sorted by price: lowest first. The ground level of the home is 5& feet lower than the road surface, which is a mere 50 feet from the garage door. The driveway is a ski slope.

The garage is only 4 inches longer than my truck so I need a second person to guide me right to the wall in order to close the door.  The laundry room is so small that front loaders wont fit in side by side.  I thought I was getting Andersen Windows and I got Home Depot American Craftsman Windows.  I have one power outlet in the garage. I have a 31 inch shower in the master bath in which I barley fit.  This is not what I expected from a custom home builder.  My new home has turned into a fixer upper.  I have spent thousands of dollars finishing, refinishing, remodeling and renovating my home.
