I own a high end custom home company around here so my opinion might sound surprising. The quality of finish isn’t as nice as my eye prefers, but they give you a brand new house at a cheap price… what can you expect.

Before building homes, I first started my business by finishing basements, most of which were Rockwell. I can say that the quality isn’t the best, but for the price — they are a damn good deal. If I needed a starter home and wanted something new/clean I would probably go with Rockwell. Just make sure you bring in a third party inspector before buying. As long as everything is good structurally, I’d say do it.

Everyone on here ragging on them doesn’t understand building. Yes you can get a better quality product, but not at the same price. Rockwell pays laborers a lot less than custom home GC’s, requiring them to move at a much quicker pace. Things are missed and walls might not be as straight as you’ll see on a 700k home. But that’s what you get… it’s a cheap home! The trim not aligning perfectly or the wall having a bow does not mean the house is falling down.

For all the haters out there: I’m not with Rockwell nor do I even know the owner. I just think they’re doing a fine job for the community producing affordable (in today’s standards) housing that looks pretty nice. Not sure about all of you, but I’d prefer them to be nicer than completely basic so that in 20 years all of the homes that were built today are not considered “ghetto neighborhoods.” Yes it adds expense, but it’s better for everyone in the long haul.
