Cheri McDermott and her family simply wanted what a lot of people want..a new home. This past Spring she contracted with a local modular home builder to build her a two story, 4 bedroom home to replace the ranch home she was living in. Her builder, a well respected contractor, ordered her new modular home from Taylored Building Systems in PA who promised her that they would have her home built and delivered in plenty of time for the builder to finish it by September 1st.
Well, as time went by, the shipping date kept being moved back until the latest date of November 16th. There are no assurances that this date will be kept either. Now here is the rest of the story.
Cheri has been living in a camper beside her completed foundation since late spring. Her 5 and 7 year old children thought this was great fun to be camping next to where their new home was going to be built so that they could watch it go up. Cheri packed ALL their worldly possessions and put them in storage including all their winter clothes. It gets very cold in Vermont and she only has a couple of long sleeve shirts for the kids. She is now going to have to purchase new winter clothes because their other clothes are packed deep in the storage unit.
Taylored offered to give her $1,000 for clothing but that has never come through.
Taylored Building Systems has reportedly not paid employees recently, not had consistent production runs and will not let Cheri out of her contract so that she and her builder could buy from another factory. Taylored is holding $12,000 of their money.
Another factory in PA has agreed to build their new home but since Taylored won’t release the McDemotts or their lender from the contract and with no guaranteed delivery date from Taylored, she is stuck living in her camper through the cold Vermont winter.
Cheri has asked me post her name, email and phone number so that she can hear from anyone else that has a home stuck at Taylored.

The question I have to ask is why Taylored doesn’t just keep the $12,000 that has already been paid to them and release Cheri from her contract so that she can get a roof over her head before her children have to celebrate Christmas in a camper next to their empty foundation?
I have a feeling that lawyers are going to be involved very soon!
