Are Premier homes built under the same standards and under the same time constraints as other homes?

People remark how fast houses go up here and every time I hear it I cringe.

The Villages of Lake-Sumter, Inc ( TVLSI) wasn't selling homes but Lifestyles.

As to the roofing issue what the OP and others have cited speaks clearly to the question of proper installation.

Business is business and TVLSI has an obligation to act in " a good faith manner" in investigating residents complaints about product and workmanship. We will trust that they will comply as such

Our house (Designer) was built by a contractor who also builds Premier houses, and yes -- there are differences. One example is the roof overhang on a Premier house is deeper than on any of the other homes. We chose to pay more for that wider overhang but truthfully, based on Florida standards, the overhang still isn't wide enough to handle the summer sun.

Rubicon is correct and I have said the same thing. No one buys in TV because of quality in construction (pardon me while I cough). They buy here for the weather (sans Irma) and the lifestyle -- period!

As far as the developers owning up to the roof problems throughout TV, that will be interesting. I would like to believe that they will, but my business head and previous personal experience with them tells me a differently.
