It's NOT US, it's THEM...
Welcome! If you've landed here, you are worried at the very
least. If you're like us, worried is a distant memory. Quite honestly,
we've crossed over from worried and suspicious to ripped off. Although,
we have resolved ourselves to the fact that we have been ripped off and
need to move on, we REFUSE to keep quiet about this. We've been robbed
of over $22,000.00 and we know we're not the only ones.
One year ago, my husband and I entered into a contract to build a modular
home on the property next to my mother's house. I grew up in that neighborhood
and when the land next to her went up for sale, we were thrilled. Ready
to leave Connecticut and excited to go home and be near my family, we started
the process. We went to Glens Falls Custom Modular Homes and picked
out our house. We paid $500.00 for the plans, $8,100.00 to Dig-A-Hole Excavating
(also owned by Glens Falls Custom Modular Homes) and gave them over
a $22,000.00 deposit for the house. We were assured that hiring both of
their companies would make the process move quickly and smoothly and we
would have our house by early Summer.
How do you like our house?
WELL, here it is! Almost one year later and this is what my mom looks
at every day. Do I need to mention that she also calls me about this every
week? Do I need to mention again that I grew up in this neighborhood and
know all the neighbors and their kids? 
We have yet to be notified per the terms of the contract that they are
delivering our home, yet Glens Falls Custom Modular Homes claims that
we have breached our contract by refusing to pay for redelivery and interest.
HELLO, REDELIVERY? I'm still waiting for a notice of delivery 7 days in
advance via certified mail, courier, telefax (return receipt required).
I'm still waiting for them to show me a bill of lading to prove they actually
HAVE our house! We have been through 2 attorneys who were terrific, but
in the interest of being honest, told us that being right isn't all it's
cracked up to be. Glens Falls Custom Modular Homes can claim what
they want and apparently they don't have to prove a word of it unless we
cough up thousands more than we are already out. If we do "win" and they
deliver this house, we are no longer getting what we signed a contract for,
which is a brand new house from the climate controlled factory delivered
to our property.
Where are we now?
After talking to numerous people who have dealt with them in the past, we came to realize that accepting the house would be just the beginning of our problems. Keeping in mind that the conditions being set for delivery of the house were to pay all monies up front, there would have been no protection against faulty installation or workmanship. Thanks to the numerous emails we have received, we realized that was a valid concern, due to the extensive repairs people have suffered after delivery. We chose to sever our ties with GFM Homes and move on with a reputable builder. We "stick built" our new home and are extremely happy with the results. Keep your emails coming! Email me
