This information is based on my personal experience with Arcadian Homes and Jimmy Morrow. Other information was found with web searches, is public knowledge and is subject to change
UPDATE (5/11/15) Now Jimmy has changed the name of his company to "Arcadian Select Homes". ** Now actively building in Kennedale Texas **
Personally, I would NEVER use Arcadian Homes again… I would however be happy to share my experience about Arcadian Homes and Jimmy Morrow with you Just use the contact page and send me an email. We can then talk on the phone and I can tell you more about Arcadian Homes build quality and Jimmy Morrow.
I will leave it to you to find reviews of Jimmy Morrow and Arcadian Homes in Texas and you Should… With simple web searches of things that are public knowledge, here is what I found:
Jimmy Morrow owned another homebuilding company in the past, Classic Century Homes, which is not in business for some reason. Hmmm. Unfortunately, I do not have any details on that…
But thanks to the internet, I think I now understand why Jimmy Morrow changed the name of his company when he came back into the home building business… With the return of the economy and homebuilding, Jimmy Morrow is back as Arcadian Homes building in North Texas
Here is a link to Jimmy Morrow's current Arcadian Homes website. The last time I checked (1/15/15), Arcadian Homes website had expired. It wasn't a working link:

It has been 7 years of dealing with morons! They go through warranty repair reps faster than my 5 year old does shoes! Took 5.5 years to get a roof leak fixed, now 1.5 years trying to get the drywall associated with the leak repaired. They do not respond to email, website, phone messages or faxes. If you are looking for a new home stay away....way far away.

I would give them a -2 on there homes. Me and my wife are having problems with them also. Our house is 3 years old and it has more crack than a crack house. Our bricks are buckling and foundation is cracked all over. Windows are braking from the foundation giving in. Our house is so bad off that drywall on the ceiling and wall are falling.

Horrible Rating is F with BBB.org
This builder takes no accountability. check out their rating on BBB which is a big fat F. I asked them to do a small repair to faulty plumbing in which they were aware or whomever was in charge of my home while under construction. The current contractor could tell the sheetrock had been repaired before because it was cut into 2 pieces attached to a small board. Normally sheetrock is cut in one piece and attached to framing not a small piece of board. As soon as the bath turns on the water leaks. Horrible builder whom doesnt do the right thing for their clients. Nor do they disclose all confirmation to potential buyers.
