Lafayette Home Builders

Hey guys, I've lurked on here for a LONG time and never posted, but I was hoping ya'll could help me out. My wife and I are looking at homes in Lafayette and wondering if anyone had any experience with Shiver's Brothers, Heritage Homes, or DSLD. I've read the DSLD and D.R. Horton stuff and it helped a lot. Really wondering about the other two though. Thanks.

DR Horton is cookie cutter crap.

Yeah, we wouldn't even look at a Horton house. We've heard from a lot of people that they're terrible.

Heritage is the best on that short list...followed by Shivers.

Heritage Homes
But with home contractors, who the hell knows?

I know a couple of people that have used Shivers, always heard great things. D.R. Horton, on the other hand, seems like a nightmare to deal with.

Give DSLD a look. They may fit the cookie cutter description but they have many options available to customize the house.

Shivers, Heritage and Manuel built homes in my neighborhood. Mine was built by Shiver's and I have a few complaints and I have heard many more from our HOA meetings. There were some about Heritage too. I haven't heard many about Manuel Builders.

as someone who's in construction and a brother that does foundation/slab/post tension i would advise you to look at heritage from that list then shivers. don't touch the others.

The only experience I have is with DSLD since they built my fiance's house. They may be generic cookie cutter but that house is incredibly energy efficient. She has never had an electricity bill that was over $65.

TONS of complaints about Shivers in my neighborhood. Would never use.

cajuntiger, what's your area? We're looking at Sawgrass in Milton area.
Posted on 3/25/15 at 12:00 pm to rcmaddox
Don't have a suggestion for you but will say good luck. 95% of the builders there do incredibly shoddy work even the ones that do high end houses. Did some construction and installs as well and was amazed by some of the shite that they would do and some how pass inspection.
