History Maker

Grateful for My First Home! Owning my first home has been a dream come true, and I owe a huge thank you to History Makers for making it possible! Their in-house lender helped me secure a great interest rate, making my home even more affordable. A special shout-out to Aaron Krieger—his dedication and expertise ensured a smooth closing process. He’s truly the perfect salesperson! Excited for this new chapter!

Cheap homes built crappy. We bought a home in Denton and we continue to find things wrong after 3.5 years. Leaking window from the start that they “can’t find anything wrong with it” window so warped from the leaking and they tel us we need to just Shut it a special way. Should just Shut like the other windows. Cracked tile they won’t fix. Wanted to hang a tv mount. Studs are too far apart exceeding the required by law distance. And don’t expect any privacy. You can hear and ant poop in the yard the windows are so thin. And I am sure they used crayons markers to paint our house numbers on. House done in December. Numbers washed away by spring. Update: we now decided to do some home improvements. Things are worse than we expected. The wood used behind the drywall is horrible. The pieces aren’t whole pieces. They are either pieces together or in some cases rotted along a whole corner. Under the steps what a ton of garbage. Studs used for supporting the half wall around our stairwell aren’t even touching the bottom boards. I am shocked and wondering how much they paid the inspector cuz I can’t even imagine how this passed inspection. Also the electrical makes no sense for the box. Things aren’t labeled and took forever to figure out how to shut off power. We also are concerned at how quickly light bulbs go out and how the lights dim every time I use my printer or air conditioner switches on.

Imagine my surprise when I had to hire someone to replace the wood trim around my second story windows. The material was not wood! It looked the dark layered card board pressed together! Put some paint over and hah you’ve hid your secret from unknowing customers. Practice such as this indicate your a company willing to cut corners and selling poor grade materials on your homes!

Do NOT buy a history homemaker in Bozeman! They slap the house together as if it’s a doll house and then when the one year warranty is up after having to redo the floor three times in that window they say “sorry” outside of warranty. As hard as today prices are find yourself a quality builder and when you do please let us know. Honestly it’s just sad. This is your home! Put some pride in the building process and not the least expensive labor. Update: have not heard from the warranty department as the response indicated below. And the AC is not working again! 4th time I will have them come out. I spent 2500 dollars last time. I called the warranty department and left a message... If this is happening to any other hard working home owners who are throwing away their money due to being sold a "lemon" please message me. Maybe if there are enough of us they will HAVE to fix their mistakes.

History Maker is TERRIBLE. We bought our house last year and moved in labor day weekend. Since we have moved we have had to put in a warranty request almost every other week. Various problems like slats on fences falling, mold growing under the stairs, dishwasher leak, window leak, doors not closing, AC not set up correctly, some cracking in the patio and MORE. This company ONLY cares about the money and tries to crank these homes out as quickly as possible. Crews drink on the job and leave beer cans and alcohol all over the job site. Each issue we have had would have been easily prevented with a crew that takes pride in their work and pays the slightest bit of attention. Plus, when building- features that SHOULD come standard in a home are upgrades and cost you (garage door openers and ceiling fans for example). DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY on their incompetence. Just moved in and already wanting to look for another home.
