Breen Homes is a dishonest and crooked company. I would be wary of working with Adam. I have seen his work and it involves covering up mistakes to avoid alerting the home owner of anything wrong. One instance he had a supporting structure misaligned so much it missed the foundation and was placed on dirt. Instead of correcting the mistake, cement was poured around the beam making it appear to be supported by cement. This was one of many mistakes that cost in the tens of thousands. Doubled and triple billed, plus many more. Other reviewers on him are friends or family with whom he works. I would avoid any hassle and find another company to contract for your custom build.
I built a custom home with Breen Homes in 2013. It's now 2017 and I am considering building another home on a lot I own in Sandy. I've built 8 homes over the past 36 years. I saw a negative review about Adam Breen and thought I would post my opinion because I found the negative review on this site to be; totally false, bias, unfounded on facts, extremely vague and likely posted to just be vindictive.
My real experience with Breen Homes was fantastic. Best builder I have ever dealt with and I'm a very experienced consumer. Adam, (owner contractor) was honest, reliable, responsive, professional, on time and on budget. When doing a custom home, things change. But at the end of the day my job (on a 6600 foot home in Cottonwood Heights) took 5.5 months from dig to occupancy and was within 5% of Breen Homes original budget breakdown. Adam runs a tight ship with little overhead and he's one of the hardest working builder contractors I've ever met. He's one jobs around 6:30 AM and he still often swung by at 6pm. He answers calls and emails early morning, late night and weekends. He's a problem solver and quickly gets to the "let's fix it" instead of the "it's your fault finger pointing".
I’d recommend Breen Homes and Adam Breen specifically to ANYONE wanting to build or remodel in SLC and I say that letting any consumer know that I was a real client with Breen Homes who went through their entire process.
During the process of working with Adam Breen and Breen homes, I discovered how dishonest Adam and his company are with their marketing, product sourcing, and profit margins. During our custom home build I noticed that several of our products ( bath tub, marble, kitchen appliances, & even carpet) didn't look the same as the floor models we had picked out. It turns out in order to increase the profit margins for Adam Breen and his company Breen Homes, they import cheap counterfeit products from China without the Home owner knowing.
Since owning our home built by Breen Homes we have had nothing but issues with leaks, products completely wearing out in their first year, and other issues. Adam told us that after the 1st year it is not his problem. It wasn't until we had another company come out to service one of our products that we discovered the cheap Chinese materials that were used to build our custom home.
I consider this the highest example of FRAUD by Adama Breen and Breen Homes.
Who knows the total amount of cheap Chinese products Adam Breen used during our build, but so far we have spent over $100,000 replacing stuff that Adam Breen billed us a premium for.
Based on my experience & Opinion Adam Breen & Breen Homes can not be Trusted! They are Frauds - Scammers - Liars & Cheats & i am telling the word so others do not have to suffer like we have during their custom home build.
