Do not build with Cade Homes of Milwaukee!

Once upon a time I decided to build a house.  It hasn't been going well, and my builder could care less if they finish my house or if I drop dead tomorrow.  In my industry time and cost overruns happen often, however most Consulting firms suffer from this crazy idea that even when things go wrong and we make mistakes the customer should get good value from us and ultimately be happy not only with the end result of our work but the experience of working with us as well.  Maybe it has something to do with Milwaukee being a small town and people talking to each other...

In the case of my builder they can treat me however they want and still get their money, and they are obviously unconcerned with what unhappy customers say.  The only recourse I have is to encourage everyone who will listen to avoid building with this company.  Based on the rule that "each person tells 10 other people" perhaps some day they will track lagging sales back to that one customer that they made feel unimportant and crazy every chance they got.  Its far more likely that word will get around "Wow that Damon guy holdes grudges I guess" and for that reason I typically keep personal stuff off of this blog.

This post will remain until I get some incredibly intresting (ergo, don't hold your breath) piece of tech to post about.  If you are in the area and considering building a house, I'd be happy to send you copies of my two complaint letters to the Metro Milwaukee Builder's Association nicely summarzing Cade's apathy towards their customers.
