Seagate Development Group - Fort Myers, Florida

William P.

Seagate built our home during 2019 and 2020, completing it in November 2020. We live in a Seagate community of 28 homes. The community is split between single story and two story homes. All of the two story homes have had roof, water intrusion problems. Despite attempts over the better part of two years, Seagate has consistently failed to recognize its role in these defects and has tried to shift burden to their subcontractor. After this problem was initially identified, Seagate changed contractors and conducted “tests” on the existing two story units, including ours. I would never recommend them as a developer or general contractor and they more interested in their next project than their existing customers. This was also the experience the entire community experienced when they turned the HOA over to the owners.

Seagate’s response to my review yesterday was predictable and says all the things you would expect. The problem is that Seagate fails to recognize I have contacted Seagate numerous times over the last three years on the roofing issue and despite changing personnel at Seagate assigned to our problems. As I noted, every two story home in the Seagate neighborhood has experienced problems with roofing and front entry flashing and Seagate has accepted zero responsibility and has provided no assistance. I have always been surprised by this behavior of a developer who desires to grow and continues to build new communities.

Absolute worst employer in SWFL
Construction Manager (Former Employee) - Fort Myers, FL - October 15, 2024
Seagate upper management is a joke. The company shuffles customer money around to cover their own expenses and does not pay their vendors in a timely manner. They put together extremely poor quality homes and covered it up with fancy finishes to hide poor craftsmanship. They do not promote within, rather hire new off the street and pay them more, because new employees don’t yet know the mask game Seagate executives hide behind. The company refuses to recognize their issues and continues to lose employees because of it. Salary levels across the board are below industry average. Claiming there’s no money for raises but saving over a million/year in just salaries from employees that left. They also expect anybody left to double or triple their workload without additional compensation because they refuse to hire actual field employees, just more office accounting staff to cover up their poor money management habits. DO NOT ACCEPT ANY OFFER HERE AND EXPECT A GOOD SUSTAINABLE CAREER. NO ANUAL RAISES, NO COST OF LIVING INCREASES, JUST HARD WORK REWARDED WITH MORE HARD WORK AND MORE STRUGGLES
Pros
Laughable experiences daily with upper management processes
Cons
The fact they still do business is the worst part

We have built 4 new homes over the past 30 years. Seagate was the worst experience for us. Employees so rude and are not honest. Would NEVER do business with them.again. Workmanship.awful.and many things left off that was on contract. I.wpuld def steer clear of Seagate. NOT WHAT IT USE TO BE.

Had an excellent experience. Not for everyone but if you prioritize luxury finishes and quality final product, you will be grateful you chose Seagate Residential. From sales process to move-in, we love our Seagate home!

Be very careful. Get everything in writing and leave nothing to trust. They will ask for more money at every turn and as a customer you will need to be very diligent and check everything throughout the building process.
We spent a lot of money with Seagate and ended up with an unfinished home and a lot problems and mistakes. This company is all about sales and moving on to the next development before finishing one.

I would not recommend to work with this company. Ok quality for a high price, warranty and post service is poor and essentially they will ask you to pay more. Not a good experience
