Facundo Home Builders (Miguel Facundo) built a custom home for my family that we closed on in 2014. The iron driveway gate installed by Miguel a mere 4 years ago has extensive rusting and pitting. I had installed an iron driveway gate at my prior home over 20 years ago that is still rust free and has never required touch-up painting or surface treatment to maintain. Trust me, I’ve never seen an iron fencing rust and pit this quickly. The workmanship and quality of my prior home’s gate was superb … you can judge for yourself where the Facundo gate quality ranks based on pictures attached below.
The Facundo Home Builder website claims, “We take pride in every home build and remodel project that we do and we love to show off our work.” Take a closer look at my gate pictures below and you can decide for yourself what “pride in every home build” means to Miguel.
When Miguel was selling us on building with him, he drove us by many Facundo homes in the vicinity of our future home. I recall him commenting on two of his prior homes we drove by that didn’t look to be in great shape. The essence of Miguel’s comment was that the owners didn’t perform basic maintenance and that is why the homes were not in great shape. I believed what he said at the time, but my iron driveway gate experience forces me to reconsider Miguel’s comments from a much different perspective.
