Crystal Homes will build you a well built home with above average standard features, but they will do it slower than any other company I have ever experienced. For anyone that is looking to purchase a Crystal Home I strongly urge you to consider your level of patience and look carefully at your future plans. We purchased a Crystal Home in 2010 for our family. In October 2011 when our home was to be ready they hadn't even broken ground on the subdivision. After numerous delays we were finally told we would get our new home in May of 2012. Despite allowing them 6 extra weeks and moving our closing date to July of 2012 they still were not ready. We moved in with missing cabinets, counters in the kitchen, bathroom sinks, mirrors, fireplace and a host of other small concerns noted during our walk through the day before moving in. The fireplace was installed but was shut down by the gas company for a gas leak due to the rushed installation overnight before our move in. Counters and cabinets came several weeks later and mirrors arrived a couple months later. The good news is despite those issues they were able to get us a completed house in good condition after about 2 years of time. The bigger problems come not so much with your own home but the subdivision in general. Crystal is painfully slow. We rarely saw more than a handful of people working and they would show up and drive around but rarely would much work get completed. Houses are finished one at a time and generally over a period of 9 to 12 months. Basically what I'm saying is if you want a nice home you'll have one but it may take a year or two to get it from Crystal. If you want a nice neighborhood to raise your children, well, we're 7 years from purchase and still don't have that so while our kids will grow up in a construction pit you should carefully consider if you want your family to as well.
