Business ProfileforEsperanza Homes Inc

I have been in my Esperanza home now for a little over 18 months and have experienced a few defects in construction such as walls cracking, nail pops and cabinet drawers refusing to remain closed . But now I’m experiencing a roof leak. During a recent rain water was pouring through the master bedroom ceiling from around a recessed light. After entering the attic above the bedroom I discovered water leaking through the attic insulation onto the bedroom ceiling. When Esperanza was called they stated it wasn’t their responsibility as the home was out of its one year warranty and that the 10 year structural warranty did not cover the roof. I contacted my homeowner insurance company and they sent an inspector out to examine the roof and he found that roof sheathing was on top of the roof shingles and this was the cause of the leak as the shingles were supposed to be over the sheathing. Also he found exposed roofing nails in other parts of the roof that will need attention before their exposure creates another leak. The inspector told me that there had been many problems from other owners of Esperanza homes and they were known for shoddy workmanship. Now it appears that I will be responsible for repairing/replacing a portion of the roof to correct the shoddy roof install. As a result of this I highly give Esperanza homes a very low grade and plan to make this known to anyone I know considering purchasing a home from Esperanza Homes.
