This review is geared toward the business structure more than anything else with Jared Shupe Constuction. We just completed building a home with Jared Shupe and the home is more than exceptional. It is almost exactly what we pictured and is customized to our liking. Of course, there were some hiccups along the way that were resolved but I think that happens with most all builders.



The issue we had was with our property the home was built on. We purchased an upgraded lot and expected most if not all of the lot to be usable. Since the foundation was poured, we asked Jared Shupe to remove the Mountain in our back yard, it extended nearly 30 square feet inside our property. We did not want to pay for the lot if it was not mostly usable. A big concern we had was not being able to place a fence around our yard because of the mountain. We tried reasoning and negotiating with him, but his answer was always no. We were upset because we could not speak with him directly. It was always through a chain of people. They were not transparent and did not give us any reasoning behind their unwillingness to comply. All we heard is no, we will not do this. We knew the reasoning though. They were upset because of the contracted price we agreed to. We believe they thought the price was too low and they wanted us to pay more to grade our lot better. WE WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THIS FROM THEM UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE. This was only an assumption on our end, but it has rung true through the entire building process.

We finally came to an agreement that they would pay the excavator for one hour of work and that we would be responsible to pay the rest. We agreed immediately. Had this conversation happened at the beginning of the process when we first brought it up, both parties would have been satisfied and hard feelings would not have been there.

I respect him as a person and like I said, we are satisfied with his work. Our home is nearly exactly how we wanted it and we do not have any complaints with that. Our only complaint is transparency. We feel we were treated unfairly and that they lack professionalism.
