All the negative reviews posted about Randy Portnoy Builders are spot on. My Portnoy-built home is literally falling apart around me. Both he and the local construction officials who sign off on his half-ass work must be held liable. I am spear heading a class action lawsuit with fellow owners against this crook so we may recoup some monies to rebuild the shoody constructed homes we bought from Portnoy. Beware of this man. Your new home will have an exhaustive punch list including structural issues, duct work issues -everything, You might as well go right down to the foundation and rebuild the entire home, except the foundation is compromised as well! This man needs to be put out of business.

Stay Far Far away from Portnoy Builders, un-professional, sloppy workmanship, unlicensed contractors on job. Unless you want every floor in your home to squeak and come loose from sub floor, bowing tile in your bathrooms and kitchen, seams coming apart on all your walls, non working air condition and heat, a deck that is falling apart, kitchen and bathroom cabinets that are falling apart due to poor installation, numerous problems with plumbing, duct work that is inadequate and reduces flow through house which gives you high electric in summer, high gas in winter, I could go on and on and we have lived in this 400, 000 dollar house for a little over a year...Builder will verbally attack you and blame you for everything that goes wrong with the house. This builder should have his licensed pulled and no longer be allowed to build, his incompetency as a builder shows in his finish product, he has no pride in the build anymore. Our family regrets ever sitting at that closing table..

Portnoy Builders constructed our home in Atlantic County, New Jersey. We put a deposit on the house just after the stick build and before the electric went in. Finishing work then started. Our tile and fiberglass insert shower were installed incorrectly (grout missing and plumbing not strapped inside walls), Tile floors were installed incorrectly and have started to buckle in our kitchen, granite counter tops had .75 inch gaps between the wall and backsplash. Additionally, the granite was not sealed which we stained the very first evening . Furthermore, the wall board was finished with one coat of spackle, one coat of flat paint (we requested Satin), and zero primer. The result were walls that looked like mini stucco in some places with tape marks where ever there was a wallboard seam. Seams are now protruding out on every wall in basement, foyer, family room, kitchen and 2 bedrooms $17,000 to fix the walls. We have had problem after problem with heat and air condition units, have been left with no heat or air condition in our upstairs portion of our home due to these issues. Kitchen and Bath units are incorrectly installed leaving us with uneven cabinets where soft close will not work properly.Sub floors were to be glued and screwed they were not, so all floors are now loose and squeak loudly when they are walked on. There are many other issues that have left us with money coming out of our own pocket to fix, just so many to list... Dept. of Community Affairs (DCA) has been brought in and civil action is in process. In summary quality control is non existent. Portnoy builds under 3 different names, Portnoy Builders, Randy Homes LLC and Randy Portnoy Builders. Please second guess your decision when buying a home under any of these builders names.You have to stay on top of this builder if you decided to have a home built or are buying an already completed home. You have to go over every little inch of documentation and the actual home to make sure you are getting what you are paying for and for quality control, as this builder will put the cheapest materials in to gain more profit for himself. There is no pride in finish product . If you are unhappy with anything he has done he will walk out on you, call you names, insult you through text, He will blame it on anyone but himself. I've never seen such unprofessional-ism.. His sub contractors are questionable and many are unlicensed. Work is sloppy and not at par...Do not close with this builder with a punch list, make sure everything you are unhappy with during the final walk through is taken care of or hold money back as he will not honor the punch list after close...As for the warranty this home builder offers don't be fooled by that, its all for making you feel at ease to buy his homes, he DOES NOT stand by it at all!!! I want to put this review out as we had a home built by him and truly regret we ever bought it!! Our family has been in the home for a little over a year and have already had to put thousands of dollars into fixing all this builders poor standards of workmanship. We have waited a long time to have our family in our own home again and this has turned into a nightmare dealing with this builder. If I can prevent another family from dealing with the unhappiness that comes along with purchasing a home from this builder then my review has done its job. PLEASE LOOK AT ANGIE'S LIST FOR FULL REVIEW!!!
