Worst builder in Cincinnati. I am of the opinion Ryan Bryzgot and Tanner Custom Homes is quite possibly the worst builder in the Greater Cincinnati area. I would not have them build a dog house. Unorganized, unprofessional, and deceitful are the best ways to describe this company. Before we moved into a new home built by Tanner, we had to spend thousands of dollars to have the plumbing and gas lines replaced. We were charged for a new fireplace by Ryan Bryzgot, a complete crook, who installed a discontinued model which doesn't work and has broken and missing pieces. The exterior brick of our home consists of 2 different mortar colors. There are numerous cracks in the concrete in the driveway. The patio looks awful. Tanner screwed up the size of the patio and instead of tearing it out and redoing it the right way, they decided to add two sections to the original, done in a different color, so now the patio is 2 toned. Our landscaping consisted of 4 dead trees and a bush. Furthermore, you can forget about attention to detail with this builder. Every single door leading to the exterior of the home has dents put in them by the various subcontractors. We have seams and bumps everywhere in the drywall. 90% of our closet and bedrooms doors do not shut or latch properly. The keys do not work on all of the exterior doors and most are not sealed properly. We had two broken windows. Several of the window locks and cranks were not even installed. The window screens are bent, broken, or missing. There is a leak in our roof which has destroyed some of the drywall in our kitchen. Holes, nicks, and cuts are prevalent everywhere throughout the trim and drywall in the entire home. Our door hardware consisted of silver hinges, oil rubbed bronze handles, and brass strike plates. I am absolutely amazed of the poor craftsmanship of the house. But ABOVE all, the best part of our nightmare situation is that Ryan Bryzgot paid NONE of the subcontractors that we spoke to when checking up on him and we suspect there were more subcontractors that we weren’t able to speak to. Everyone we were able to talk to during and after he left the job told us they were owed money. Pure and simple, this is stealing! Ryan Bryzgot will promise a great home, but he hires the cheapest and worst subcontractors possible so that he can save and make as much money as possible. Tanner custom homes as a company, in our opinion, consists of professional con-artists who will lie to you day in and day out. This has been the worst experience I could have ever imagined. Stay away from Ryan Bryzgot; you could build your home better than he can.
