To: Esperanza Homes From: Donald (Homeowner) Subject: Review/critique of the past six months Date:7 Mar 2026 While I initially entered the building process with Esperanza Homes in the Rio Grande Valley with high hopes, the reality of the last six months has been far from the "dream home" experience promised. Having owned several homes, this was my first time building from the ground up, and unfortunately, it will be my last with this builder. The Construction & Quality Issues: I monitored the site almost daily and witnessed a consistent "minimum effort" approach. The craftsmanship was poor, largely due to inexperienced apprentices rather than master tradespeople. Specific issues included: • Structural/Finish Misalignment: Doors and cabinetry were consistently out of alignment. • Structural Shortcuts & Framing Failures: The lack of technical expertise was most apparent during the framing stage. I arrived on-site to find the crew installing door frames with a three-inch gap between the framing and the door molding. This wasn’t just a minor oversight; the measurements were fundamentally incorrect. Had I not been there to personally intervene and insist they install proper shims and wedges; they clearly intended to simply "bridge" the massive gap with molding and hide the defect behind the drywall. This level of negligence suggests a "cover it up" culture rather than a "build it right" culture, which is terrifying for any homeowner who isn't on-site daily to catch it. • Poor Aesthetics: Paint colors did not match, requiring constant oversight. End caps were mostly left bear and not touched up. • Site Management: The property was frequently littered with beer cans, food containers, and trash, particularly on Fridays. I have documented this lack of professionalism with extensive photography. Sales & Ethical Concerns: Communication from the sales team was virtually non-existent. Most disturbingly, one week prior to closing, the sales rep informed me they would not honor the $15,000 in upgrades originally promised because I chose to finance through my own bank—despite me being transparent about this from day one. I found this tactic to be underhanded and unethical, forcing me to retain legal counsel just to ensure the original agreement was honored. The Silver Lining: That being said, It wasn’t all negative, thanks to a few key professionals: • The Upgrades Office (Tres Lagos): Very professional, organized, and well-curated. • Max (Property/Site Manager): Max was the saving grace of this process. He was the most engaged person on the team—professional, prompt, and always available to address my concerns on-site. Esperanza needs more employees with his level of dedication. In Closing: The home building process with Esperanza was defined by significant project management and quality control deficiencies. Prospective buyers should be aware that working with this builder necessitates a full-time commitment to site supervision to ensure foundational construction standards are met. The added stress of navigating ethical challenges in the sales process required legal intervention to finalize the transaction as originally agreed upon.

The oversight by the contractor gave me much doubt that the quality of construction exists. Esperanza Homes lacks Quality Control and Systems for ensuring a quality product is delivered to the customer.
