Homestead Timbers

We payed $6K+ to Homestead Timbers to produce floor plans for us with the understanding that they would build our house using those floor plans. The plans were completed and approved by Homestead and ourselves early 11/21. On 12/23/21we signed a contract with Homestead Timbers and paid them another $5K+ to start pulling permits for the agreed $525K home to be built based on their estimates of those floor plans and was told we will break ground April 1, 2022.

On 3/1/2022 Homestead required a meeting and proceeded to tell us we now have to pay $825+ to build the house with the same floor plans. NOTHING CHANGED IN THE FLOOR PLANS. That is a $300K difference. We told them we lost their trust and do not want them building our home. We requested a refund and they sent us $2800 out of the $11K+ that we paid them.

No permits were ever pulled and we were told we can keep the plans that we most likely may never be able to use. Now all of our time is wasted and we have to start over. To your response; then why did we sign a contract with you for $525K and 9 weeks later you increased it to $825 K? We did NOT change ANYTHING on our plans within those 9 weeks. You were just trying to rip us off plain and simple.

Very good selection of reclaimed wood, furniture, cabinets, flooring and countertops. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Very good experience visiting this store.

We drove 18 hours round trip to purchase Montana Ghostwood accent wall material and whitewash Johnson Pine for the ceiling from Homestead. The customer service was exceptional, the product is incredible, and the price is reasonable. We're thoroughly satisfied with our experience with Homestead.

Has a nice room full of rustic furniture and home goods, good for gift shopping. I went for reclaimed lumber and was pleased at the selection. Also many wooden slabs for tables and the like. I will go back.

Lauren @ Homestead Timbers was great to work with. We are a contractor with a focus on flooring installation. It has been a pleasure to find a flooring dealer that is professional, responsive and willing to work with us on large projects. I will be referring other customers who are looking for Viking flooring to them. ~ Julie @ DJ Home Interiors

We needed wooden siding for our house and they had what we needed in stock when all the other big chain stores didn't have it or it was a month's wait. The service was great. They answered all of our questions and guided us to completing our project.

Great people to work with from plans to design to building. Showroom on site. Located just off of I 96. I will add another review after we build.

I have tried to get Homestead Timbers to do a couple things for me. I wanted to order Cedar siding for my house I was told by Tammy that they had it I but I couldn't pay over the phone so I drove all the way over to Marne to pay for it and I was told Tammi was in a meeting and they can't interrupt so I can't take my payment and they're telling me they don't have the cedar siding that I've ordered!

So I go to Order it elsewhere. While there, I needed a piece of rough timber for a project that I was doing so I went in their clearance area and bought a board. I only wanted half the board so I asked if they could cut it but they couldn't cut it that day so I would have to come back. I waited four days, I never got a call so I called them back and yes it was cut but it took 15 minutes for them to find out.

I figure it's just a glitch so I called and asked if they could make me Cedar Shelves. Again, I was told by Tammy they could and she would call me with an estimate. That was last week. She didn't call so I called back on Monday and was told she was with a client I asked if they could please ask her if she'd come up with the estimate they came back and said she said she will call you in an hour that was noon she never called the rest of the day.

I called Tuesday morning And was told she is with a client. They asked if I could leave a message and she would call me back I said no because she's not calling me back I'm having a problem with that and instead of correcting the situation and asking me if they could help me they proceeded to tell me there's nothing better they can do because apparently Tammi is the only person who can take an order over the phone or in person according to Michael, the receptionist and Paul (not sure if his name) If that's the case maybe they need to hire some people.

Bottom line my recommendation is don't go there to buy anything because they're over staffed with people who have no clue how to order anything and under staffed with people who do but wont follow through on commitments. Take care and have a nice day.

We bought tongue and groove board for our log home, we also bought a custom built rustic hickory kitchen. Top notch service, high quality products. Very happy.

They offer a wide variety of products including reclaimed barn wood. Ask for Doug. He was great to work with on a small project. He went above and beyond to help.
