DRB Elevate Amblebrook Gettysburg Single Family Homes

We scheduled an appointment with Mr. Shane Kalivretenos for 1 pm at the Amblebroook 55+ Active Adult Living Single-Family Homes on August 16, 2025. We traveled from Virginia, which took two hours, and arrived early. At the welcome center, the courteous ladies provided us with valuable information and escorted us to the model home for our scheduled appointment. However, Shane Kalivretenos was unavailable for our 1 pm appointment due to another commitment with a customer, but he provided us with a key to access the five model homes. After viewing the properties, we returned seeking additional information, but he was still unavailable. Another married couple, who also had an appointment with Shane Kalivretenos, was waiting to meet with Shane Kalivretenos. They recommended exploring Caruso Ho

We have owned several homes in the past but this was our first new build. Shane Kalivretenos and his team at DRB @ Amblebrook are the BEST! Building a new home can be very overwhelming but Shane and his team were always available and willing to answer any questions that we had. The process from selecting the lot to going to the settlement table was a smooth transition and without any hiccups. We love our home and have recommended Shane and his team to many of our friends.

We met Shane in September at Elevate's model homes in Amblebrook Gettysburg, PA. He came across as knowledgeable and caring. He responded to all our questions and never ever did we sense any pressure. With Shane, his goal was for us to choose wisely for us, whether it was with Elevate or anyone us. Two weeks later, we signed a contract for a new home. There have been many hoops for us to jump through since then, and I am happy to say that Shane was either there with us or had prepared us well to easily negotiate those hoops. Our home is in the process of being built right now, and between Shane and our construction manager Marco, we feel we are in great hands and are excited for our upcoming move. They have both been, and continue to be, proactive to our needs and responsive to

We just moved into our new Elevate home at Amblebrook of Gettysburg and could not be more happy! Shane's excitement about Amblebrook along with his professionalism made our decision making an easy task. He was extremely helpful in guiding us through our lot and home selection and continued to support us throughout the entire process. Mary Jo's expertise was a great help as we worked through the design choices for our new home. As we worked through the building process, Marco has been there every step of the way and has always looked out for our best interest. The quality and workmanship of our home is everything we had expected. DBR/Elevate has an incredible team that has been great to work with. We are so excited to be part of this amazing community and everything it has to offer!

I am breaking with the string of glowing recommendations because I feel an obligation to tell the truth. I am pleased with the Amblebrook community as a whole, however DRB has been lacking in nearly every respect. While there were assertions made during the sales process that were not based on fact, my more serious concern is the lack of quality in construction. I am not alone in my concerns as nearly everyone I know has significant complaints. I engaged a 3rd party inspector for the pre-drywall and final inspections. It was a good thing that I did because the inspector uncovered numerous substantive issues including but not limited to problems with framing, flashing, wiring, siding and roofing. Once I moved in, the list of warranty issues has been unending. Here are some of the highligh
