Where our custom home stands today.

We haven't been in and out of court many times. We want to make sure everyone has the facts...
We have only been to court December 2008 for the Heartland Homes lawsuit we filed late 2007, early 2008.

We received the Judges verdict, in our favor in Jan/Feb 2009. Heartland Homes appealed the monies portion of the verdict. The monies portion of the verdict was a little over $11,000.00. We spent over $19,000 just in legal fees, without repairing our home.

We had a damages only mini-trial if you will because of the appeal. I think that was February 2009 perhaps. After this mini-trial that lasted an hr or so, we called our attorney and stated we filed to discontinue our lawsuit. We still won the verdict in our favor, however we walk away with no monies from Heartland Homes to pay to repair our home or recoup any costs. We figured why bother.

In our opinion, if we would have submitted a more granular initial inspection among other things, we could have been further ahead. Water problems started 3 months after closing in May 2004. Our Heartland Homes trial was in December 2008. Check out our photos on this page, I think our photos represent a very accurate detail of what it was like living in our brand new home.

The Structural Engineer we paid to inspect our home is the only Structural Engineer to ever come to our home. Read the section STRUCTURAL ENGINEER REPORT.

Never at any time during our 1 year warranty did anyone ever come into our home representing our custom home builder Heartland Homes to see the water problems we reported at least 9+ times during our first year.

We did chisel out bricks from the front of our home and pulled back vinyl siding, then had our Structural Engineer come back to our home to see exactly what was behind our brick veneer and vinyl siding. Please read the 2 page STRUCTURAL ENGINEER REPORT section. This is an engineer we hired, we paid and John also was our expert witness during our court trial in 2008.
