Contry Homes, Maplecrest Construction, Midcor Supply, Joe Contarino, Jeff Petry Contry Homes, Maplecrest Construction, Midcor Supply, Joe Contarino, Jeff Petry, Major Ripoff, Beware of Joe Contarino and Jeff Petry, These guys are crooks and taking advantage of people Rockford Illinois Contry Homes, Maplecrest Construction, Midcor Supply, Joe Contarino, Jeff Petry Joe Contarino and Jeff Petry are basically partners in Contry Homes and Maplecrest Construction. They are also owners of Midcor Supply, which supplies all of the materials for their so called homes. How ironic is that. We learned the hard way and had purchased a Contry Home. We had nothing but problems. It was a total nightmare. We lived in this so called house for about 8 months and had to sell and get out for our own sanity. Contry Homes refused to fix anything and that it was all cosmetic and not covered under warranty. He uses subs that nobody else wants. Some of the problems we had were: 1) Major cracks in foundation 2) Heaving walls that seperated at the ceiling 3) Drafts everywhere ($450.00/month heating bills) 4) Moisture between the panes of glass on the windows 5) No sump pump (a code issue) 6) Pine door shims in beam pockets (a code issue) 7) Interior doors would no shut (about a month after closing) 8) Chunks of concrete liftin up on basement floor 9) Frost on baseboards in winter I could go on and on, but I'm just glad we sold the house and took our loss. We even had the local Building Inspector advise us that the best thing we could do is sell and move. What was this all about, he is the one that passed it. It's pretty bad when the Building Inspector tells you you should move. Why would you sign-off on a new home, as the Inspector, when you know there are many items that do not meet code. I think there is some funny money being passed from these developers to the inspectors. I would tell everyone 'Buyer Beware'. These guys are real scum. There is no Customer in Contry. Machesney Park, Illinois U.S.A. Conrty Homes are GREAT!! I am a owner of a Contry home. I think it is the best built home in the area. Is shows by how many are sold each year. To respond to some idiots on here. If your home was built several years back house wrap was NOT standard. You had the choice to upgrade to house wrap,sump pump,etc if you built the home. If you didn't pay for the upgrade's it was you fault for being cheap trying to save a few bucks and than later blaming it on the builder. Cracks in the foundation and walls. Have you ever heard of that a house does settle?? Making sure the concrete doesn't crack did you install your dehumidifier?? Probally not, because you were lazy and cheap. Basment leaking it was probally the grade in the land,no yard,etc. Why is it that if someone see's a crack in the basement they get scared. Don't you realize that a foundation had many rods of rebarb in it(steel rods) to keep it from moving? Why does our roads have to have stress cuts every 20 feet? We live in the worse climate for concrete. If you have a way to make concrete not crack you should market it you would me a millionare. It just make's me laugh when all of the sudden a homeowner becomes a building inspector,or contractor. I took science class in high school, but that doesn't make me a scientist. The best advice I can give people is look at how many happy people are out there with there homes. Look at how many are bulit every year. If we were so bad whay do we keep on selling?? Talk with a Rep of contry or maplecrest or amy builder. I can give you many good reasons to buy a Contry home. Beaware of IDIOTS out there who have no clue what there talking about. Report: Contry Homes, Joe Contarino Inc, Joe Contarino Contry Homes, Joe Contarino Inc, Joe Contarino Refuses to fix faulty work and if and when he does, they do even more damage to your property Rockford Illinois Joe Contarino has no morals. All he gives a crap about is the amount of money he puts in his pocket. In no way does he take care of his customers after closing, except, maybe, when attorneys get involved,(or if you are one of his employees or agent selling his crap). And that's another battle in itself. His so called expediters treat the homeowners like dirt. They are almost as bad as he is. He hides behind his wife Debbie, letting her do most of the dirty work. I guess that makes them a good pair. If you plan on buying one of these homes, beware, all they are is money pits. I've seen outhouses built better than these shacks. We all work hard for our money and he is taking advantage of homeowners while he is laughing all the way to the bank. This guy is what I would call real scum. Pissed Oregon, Illinois U.S.A.
