Since my experience, i have talked to many other people that have built homes with d**k larkin in the past, and they all have a similar story. At one time, i was told, that past customers actually picketed d**k's personal home because he would not give them what they paid for - a finished custom home. Everyone has the same story as me. This is how it goes:
D**k is a very personable person. I met him at a home show and was immediately impressed with his story and his promises. We sat down, and i told him what i wanted as far as my house goes. D**k had some good ideas, but also had some ideas that i was not into. That seemed to be a problem if i did not like his ideas. He gave me a price to build my home and i should have known it was too good to be true. He was cheaper than my other two quotes, so i blindly went with him to build my home.
You get what you pay for. The process began, and it was clear very quickly that the organization is terrible. When i had a question or issue, d**k was nowhere to be found. Adam, his son was on the job more than d**k was. This is a strage situation because adam seems to sub off of d**k. There was no supervision of the trades. If i did not complain, nothing happened. Again, i could never get in communication with d**k. When he would call me back, he seemed irritated that i wanted my house to be built properly. Shortcuts were taken every day. If i did not watch like a hawk, the quality went down the toilet. Many of the subs told me that d**k beats them up on price to get as cheap as possible. That is just what i got...A cheap job.
I found that d**k and his son were double-charging me for work that adam was doing. I had two subs come to me and tell me that they did not receive the amount of money that larkin had promised them.
There are so many choices when it comes to a builder. Do not find out the hard way what myself and many other homeowners have found out. D**k larkin - larkin custom homes - rm homes - builds a bad home.
Ps - multiple homeowners have had to sue larkin custom homes. He has had to build homes in bloomington and outside of his home area due to his reputation.
