We are the second home owner. The house was 2 years old plus a few months when we bought it so the warranty was finished. One of the main stacks was leaking raw sewage. The cupboards are falling apart. There are major cracks in the foundation. Many cement porches are falling apart. When Melody was asked to fix this they claim people have hit them with vehicles. Many of the houses have shingles blowing off them. When Melody was asked to fix this, they wait until the warranty runs out. None of the vent covers on any house close. When Melody was asked to fix this, A guy showed up with a ladder and a broom and pushed the vent covers close. This fix lasted until the first wind. The open vent covers have caused peoples microwaves to freeze, and give birds a nice place to nest. All the chaulking in the house is peeling off. Nobody cleaned the floors before laying the carpet, so there is lots of garbage under the carpet. Tiles are cracking. The windows are leaking and you get frost build up in the winter. The garage ceiling was not insulated, and caused the room above to be freezing. We had the electrical panel upgraded to 200 amps. The electrician said he had never seen such a cheap job in his 40 years as an electrician. Neighbours have complained that their house shakes in the wind. The roads are still not paved after 5 years, or have the put grass on the boulavards. I cut the grass beside the walk way, and have to snow blow it, because Melody refuses to do it. We are still an unassumed sub-division, and Melody is responible to do this until the city takes over. The city does not take over until Melody finishes the job. Did I mention this sub-divSion has been finished for 5 years. I am sure there are many more things that I fixed and just forgot about. IF YOU BUY A MELODY HOME EXPECT TO HAVE A BRAND NEW FIXER UPPER ON YOUR HANDS. THESE HOUSES ARE NOT BUILT TO LAST, FIND ANOTHER BUILDER.
