The Danco Group - Arcata, California

Brianna K.

If you’re thinking of buying a home from Danco, milk them for all they’re worth. We thought the homes were selling quickly so we settled and didn’t ask for much (just homeowners insurance), but I wish we had asked for more, especially for the price of the home. They do everything as cheap as possible and seem to only hire yes-men instead of people who will actually do things correctly. I’m sure a lot of the instructions to cut corners is coming from corporate. We had a home inspector come out and told us that our water heater thermostat was broken, was not insulated, and was only on to give warm water for the inspection. We were also told that our home leans into the center since they only put a new foundation on the corners of the house. Our garbage disposal will likely break within a few years because they made it a button (gets wet when we wash dishes) instead of a wall switch, and they vented our bathroom fan into the attic instead of all the way out through the roof. Such lazy and shoddy work, it’s insane. I’m sure we’ll find more things as time goes on, but be sure to make them pay for a homeowners insurance policy when you buy, and hire your own home inspector, not one Danco or your realtor recommends.

This company let's federally label gangs run their apartment complex.

They will never fix anything and allow people to harass you on property.

Certain employees are complete jerks in public, obnoxious drivers and just displaying absolutely disgusting unprofessional behavior. I’m appalled. I’ve never dealt with this company beyond a public interaction on the road in their clearly marked Danco van driving, with a couple of jerks offs making rude gestures toward me.

I am a current tenant and I feel very disappointed. I thought this properties were meant for low income families but I have been here a year and now my rent has gone up 2 times. I told my manager I lost my job in April of this year if there was anything she could do to lower my rent and she said no. And now I get a letter AT NIGHT about my rent going up 10.1%. So it doesn't matter to you to help out people is it just about money? Families who struggle and really need the help get the short end of the stick here. I have told my manager about a light upstairs that burned out months ago and she has yet to fix it but then increases my rent without a care in the world and we just have to take it. I'm at the end of my rope and have no way of figuring this out.

Just got a message from the landlord saying they don't replace light bulbs then who does?

I`ve been living in the new townhouses for just over a year, and in the past 4 weeks have been having trouble with my water heater. It`s still under warranty, and they`ve replaced one of the heating sensors,. But it still doesn`t work, it keeps going out on the weekend, and it`s costing me money I don`t have, but they still expect me to pay my full rent.

The definition of slum lords. They recently fired all of their property managers and will now allow all of their properties to decend into chaos. There is trash all over the complex now. People are parking in fire zones and handicapped spaces with reckless abandon, lights have been out for years and now there will be nobody on site to deal with any issues. Avoid Danco properties at all costs.

Danco Builders! they are the change! Building housing for those that need it most - maybe not perfect but nothing is! They built a new community in our city and the residents are super quiet. and are a very very welcome addition to our small city. they built small individual houses for humans in need, in crisis, and it actually is lovely to have this new community around the corner from our home. The Danco residents are good neighbors as far as we are concerned.
