I have built many homes with multiple builders never experienced this worst quality as if everything starts falling apart one after another in this house.

Carlisle built our house and we were reasonably happy with most things. However their follow up service has been pathetic. The bathroom sink had a crack in it so they sent someone out to do a repair.

One of the worse customer service and unprofessionalism in Carlisle homes I came across - Staff booked appointment but did not arrive for appointment. I did not receive any phone call or any information for cancellations. I attended online meeting for color appointment with staff week ago and he told us, he will get back to us with in 2 days but did not hear back anything. I am regretting to choose the Carlisle homes.

You don't win the awards Carlisle have without doing a whole lot the right way & to customer's satisfaction. Do your homework & you'll find they stand out as one of the very best new home builders.
