Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?

I have never dealt with such a disreputable company. I contracted to have them build a house in November 2004. It was supposee to be completed (COed) in December 2005. They put on a great show and even presented themselves as members in good standing with several organizations such as the BBB. I thought I had selected the right builder. 



After several months, I inquired why there was nothing going on at the property. I was told that the building department in Port St. Lucie was extermely busy, but they should issue a permit in a few weeks. This went on for months.  I finally called the building department to find out why it was taking so long to get a permit.  They informed me that the permit application was not applied for until September 2005, 3 months before i was expecting to move in. Armed with this information I contacted Mr. George about the situation. Of course he began a fresh round of lies as to why the permit application was never sent and why his customer service department continued to lie to me. I later found out that he never paid some his subs contractors, so they refused to perforf services such as surveys that were needed to apply for a permit.



Once they got the permit the construction moved at a snails pace. It got so bad that I asked the bank to stop all progress payments. After several months they finally contacted me because they had not received payments they were expecting.  I told them that I would not release payments until they could give me a schedule and I would stop payament if they didnt keep to it. You guessed it, as soon as they got payment, the schedule went out the window. Apparently the way they work is to do just enough to get a payment and then let the project sit until they need more money.



The house was finally completed in 2007. As with all new houses there are always some items that need to be corrected. The difference here is that Majestic Homes and Realty ignored all my calls. They would say that I needed to fax my isues. The next time they would say I needed to e-mail them. I was evident that they were done and would do nothing else. I finally gave up and took care of the punchlist myself, including hiring a plumber to take care of issues in the main bath.



I am still dealing with problems. I would never deal with Majestic Homes and Realty/JPG Enterprises or any organization associated with the George Family. I have communicated with several home owners that had the same or similar experiences with these people.

I am glad that you experience with JPG enterprises work out well for you.  That has not been the case for the vast majority of homeowners I have spoken to. In almost all cases there were enexpected and unexplained (truthfully) delays. In many cases there were additional cost associated with getting the homes completed. Some were additional fees charged by JPG while some came from things like extending construction loans.

I must that you are truly one of the lucky ones.  I hope you as lucky in other endevors.

I recently sa a rebuttle by John George of JPG Enterprises (Majestic homes and Realty).  The company went bankrupt several years ago, so I am suprised to see a recent remark from him.  I hope that is not an indication that this man will try to get back into the home building industry.  Dealing with him was such a nightmare that i do periodic checks to make sure he isn't.

Nothing he or the company says can be taken at face value. For instance, They said that the home will be ready with 12 months after the slab is poured. What they don't tell you is that they will not pour the slab until many month after it is expected. In my case a year.  Their reason was that PSL building was very busy and did not issue the required permit.  When I checked with the building department, no application was filed. Turns out that JPG was being sued by the surveyors for lack of payment and would do no further work for them. So they just lied to the customers. The permit was issued a week after the application was finally submitted.

Another example. His website and promotional material highlighted  that they members in good standings with the BBB and other organizations.  That playede a big part in my decision the select them as my builder.  Once all the problems started, I called the BBB. They told JPG was not a member and in fact the BBB had been trying to get JPG to remove their logo and the statements that they were members. JPG just continued to ignore their requests.

Every inch of the way was like this. One lie after another. Nothing they said could be trusted. To make a long story short: a home that was to be completed in December 05 was not done until July 07. The icing on the cake was that they used chinese drywall to complete the home. Of course by the time it was discovered, they were out of business and untouchable.

Please, please do not let this person take advantage of you.

Please note that this complaint was filed anonymously and we are unable to answer this complaint specifically, however, the following information may clarify some issues.

About the Builder

John P. George, President and Owner of JPG Enterprises, Inc. d/b/a Majestic Homes & Realty.

Education:

Master of Science, Nova University (1977)

Bachelor of Science, State University of New York (1972)

Associate of Science, Nassau Community College (1970)

Teacher of the Year in 1978 for Palm Beach County

Since 1983, John George has lived in modified Majestic houses, of which three are still listed in the sales brochure (Liberty Plus, Liberty Plus 4 and a Whitehouse). John George is honored to see that some people consider homes built by Majestic as lavish as any potential home buyer can purchase them for under $300,000.

John P. George, President/Owner, donated a brand new home to the Rainford Family as aired on ABC'S Television Show: Extreme Makeover Home Edition in March 2006. Please visit the website: www.extrememajestic.com. As well as satisfy an existing mortgage for the Rainford Family.

About Majestic Homes:

Majestic Homes is a custom builder.

Built thousands of new homes in Palm Beach, Martin, St. Lucie and Indian River Counties.

Full-time Customer Service Department and Warranty Department.

Majority of our subcontractors have been doing business with Majestic for over 20+ years. There has NEVER been a legitimate lien on any home.

Home Buyers have an immediate equity of at least $30,000 on completion of their new home built by Majestic.

Majestic Homes has financially helped numerous homeowners with extra costs and fees incurred by the homeowners from the lending institution.

Majestic Homes is Sole Provider of the Superior Wall System in Palm Beach County. Pre-cast solid concrete walls, 400% stronger, with nearly 300% more insulation value and able to withstand 235mph impact.

Facts:

Our contract states that Certificate of Occupancy will be issued 12 months from the date the slab was poured. Currently offering 7 months or we pay the Buyer $2,000 per month.

Contract signing is not the same as closing on your home. Closing has to do directly with the Buyers such as credit, employment verification, etc. which Majestic has no control of, which would affect the delivery time of the home.

Every buyer meets with the Builder for the plan review of custom designing of their home.

All home buyers have a pre-drywall meeting at their home with the Builder to further reconsider any changes or additions.

Majestic can verify that there has never been a building permit issued for any of our houses within 3 days, we wish this was the case.

Possible Reasons for Delays:

Each home buyer provides their own lot, which again the Builder does not control. A home-site could possibly have unknown setbacks or requirements, which could cause delays in permitting as well as construction. Environmental issues may also cause delays. All home buyers are asked to have Majestic investigate, at no cost, before purchasing.

Customized plans could lengthen construction time, however, this personalize the home for our families.

Builder provides walk-thru's to Buyers at interior framing. If there are any changes requested by the Buyer to the interior design of home, this would cause a delay.

During 2004 & 2005 Hurricane Season, South Florida endured numerous hurricanes causing delays by all building departments and field work. One of the Building Departments closed down and relocated their offices and numerous plans were misplaced.

Shortage of building materials due to the damages caused by the numerous hurricanes.

we agree that there were some issures, we worked thru them, and  in the end got a SUPERIOR built home.

the industry several years ago had problems with skilled workers, however Majestic and its owner John P george worked with us
