Beazer Homes Reviews in Baltimore, MD

I am not sure who thought it was a bright idea to build a partial trail so close to a home. I will say as the homeowner it was not such a bright idea. The half trail has somehow given neighbors the green light to cut through my yard everyday, all day and without hesitation; resulting in damaged grass/yard, dog feces, etc., etc.!!

Good morning, I recently purchased a house with Beazer. I will breakdown 3 phases from the beginning to the end: Phase 1 - Beginning: I and my wife felt in love with the model home right after we saw it. I would say the design is gorgeous. The negotiation was hectic though due to Beazer's internal communication and price was adjusted. However, we were happy with the counter offer and moved on. I want to say thanks to the sales team and my agent to work out the deal. Phase 2 - Building: you will receive an update on the weekly basis from the Project Manager. It's great when you can follow the progress of your new home. However, the closing day was not on schedule and it got pushed back several times but it seemed like a common issue with the majority of builders. Note, you need to make sure to communicate with your lender if the closing day is changed to make sure you don't get penalty for locking your interest. There was an issue with energy efficiency for washer/dryer in our home but issue was resolved nicely. I want to say thanks to the regional manager who told me that they couldn't meet the energy efficient test for the washer/dryer so they replaced a better model to meet energy star standards. The quality control from Beazer is good and I appreciate that they are honest with us since we probably have no ideas if they don't tell us about the washer/dryer. Phase 3 - this is where I couldn't give my other two stars to get it to 5. I received my house in April and it took a couple weeks to see multiple hairline cracks on the wall. The nails was popped out due to the change in weather. I was told this is normal and covered by the limited warranty from PWSC which is the builder for Beazer. They told me to wait until the wall is completely dried out, (usually about 6 to 10 months) and request for the service from PWSC to fix it. Overall, I am happy with our new home except the cracks and nails popped out from the wall. ... More

Overall the construction and buying process was smooth and we were given timely updates. However post construction response time to fix things have been extremely poor. Project manager does not respond to your calls and it has been pain to get them to fix stuff

hard to contact any one to fix minor problems. no response to questions, nice view

Beazer builds a solid home but some of the finishing details including drywall work and painting need significant improvements. Floorplans make great use of square footage. I will likely need to touch up drywall and repaint the entire home. As well, noise isolation between units could be improved.

We have had many problems with this house, but luckily most appear to be minor. We spoke to lots of our neighbors who seem to have the same issues. We had a crack in the foundation that resulted in a leak within 1 week of moving in. Apparently this happens a lot and fortunately didn't have our basement finished by them so it limited the damage. At this price point you would expect a certain quality. We spend about 50k in additional upgrades. Our quartz counters had huge scratches in it that they buffed out, but now you can see a big area of discrepancy. some of the stainless steel appliances had huge scratches from when they opened it with a razor blade that they can not swap out. The light over the stairs is off center and if they were to fix it, it would require them to cut into the dry wall and repaint. The painting job they did was terrible with so many patches, missed spots and nails/metal imprints still showing. These things were still very obvious even after they came in to fix it. It was not even worth having them come back to fix these things. Some areas look worse after they pained. Several of the AC vents on the floor are crooked. Our fireplace is misaligned with the hardwood floors. Some of the electrical wiring was swapped to our main electrical box (which they were able to fix). Our sump pump broke and just had to be replaced just 2 months after moving in. The sump pump drain dumps directly onto the side of your lawn so you have persistent flooding on that side of the yard. While having another contractor finish our basement we found out some of the walls were crooked and off by 1.5 inches. They put the water pipe extending out into the room just because we didn't have them finish it, which we had to have them fix it before we closed. They must have been trying to save money on the AC vents because they decided to narrow the part of the AC vent in the basement and I had to pay extra to have it fixed when finishing it. There are many more items like these. Many of the neighbors we have spoken to are also frustrated by many of these similar things. It has been about 3 months and our punch list still isn't completed. You will receive lots of close attention early on and quick responses, but once you move in it's clear you are no longer a priority. They have what looks like a bunch of young unexperienced workers. Overall the homes seem ok and worth the purchase as long as you go through everything closely. If I knew what to look for earlier on during the walk through process maybe that would have helped. At least everything is under warranty and you should have to pay for anything to have it fixed. ... More

This has been awful. The range was never set up. The dishwasher will not run because there is a problem with the hose. The closing process was not satisfactory. We are suppose to have new owner orientation that has not taken place.

Average experience from Beazer homes

Not good experience. I found the house unfinished and used very low quality construction materials. Having a lot of issue.

Beazer Home team members were fine; my home is lovely. One of the recommended mortgage lenders was horrible; extremely poor customer service that made this process very stressful & took away from the joy of buying my first home.

It was all good experience till the closing date. After closing there were many issues and big one was HVAC which is still not working after 1 and a half month of closing. I think Beazer should do a thorough check to test and review the home/appliances/others before closing with customer. Overall not a good experience.- Vik

Just moved into a new home built by Beazer. I'm extremely disappointed at the quality of materials used and the lack of good quality assurance inspections. I owned previous homes built by Pulte and Ryan, and their quality is much better. A home priced at over half a million dollars should have top of the line construction materials and hardware. After moving in, I found out my A/C compressor was never connected (hence never tested). Once connected by sub-contractor, it didn't cool at all. Sub-contractor came back and found out valves were never opened. I paid $1000 for a car charger outlet and I plugged in my car, the voltage was incorrect. It was 120vac vice 240vac. The discharged side of the sump pump was placed 2 feet away from the foundation of the home, creating and constant loop of water going into the sump and being discharge, creating puddle on the backyard, which by the way is all clay. There are numerous homes with drainage issues that are not being addressed by Beazer. The community as a whole has huge problems with standing water after it rains and nothing is being done about it. I'm very disappointed with Beazer. If I could do it again, I would have spent my money elsewhere. ... More

Its ok . not a great experience.

It wasn't as we expected. There are so many quality and customer handling issues.

The construction of the home is mediocre at best. I am finding all kinds of issues where the dry wall is paper thin and if you press your finger in the wall, it will go straight through! I will contact the better business bureau for homes made so cheaply but, you are charging consumers upward of $450,000. This is our hard earn money and we don’t want to spend it on subpar product. There are more people complaining in this subdivision.

No one cares or responds your concerns for a long time.

In response to this survey I do have items that were being addressed by warranty claim It seems that the follow up is laxidasical as the 10 day inspection was initiated by me after 20 days Promised items aren't on time and usually require multiple calls to remind them, filter, hose, sprinkler, wood plugs for steps, etc. The items that were deficient are the drywall , Lot of cracking in the ceiling and multiple joints The garbage disposal did not have electric cord, windows, door adjustments The same goes for the 45 day inspection...Have yet to hear from Joe Warranty or anyone else

This was frankly the worst home buying experience I could have imagined. Poor communication and illegal business practices including collusion with the lender to force me into a less than favorable loan. However, contractors Mark and Wayne were very nice to work with.

Cracked pipes. Drainage pipes that are not hooked up. Roofs that leak. Poor quality flooring. Beazer Works for themselves, not their buyer. I won’t even allow Beazer in my home and I’ve only been here for two months. I prefer to pay for quality workmanship going forward. I do everything to discourage people from buying a Beazer built home.

Had major leak issues with 2 of the 3 toilets in our brand new home. All three toilets were installed incorrectly. Contacting Beazer personnel was useless.

The esthetics of the home are beautiful, but the structure is terrible. I live on bottom two floors of condo. Despite assurances of exceeding sound barrier standards, there is no protection from every movement of your upstairs neighbors and their children. It sounds like Godzilla constantly over my head. Invest in better sound blocking next time. PLEASE.

Based on reviews we purchased a townhomw from Beazer. Looks like the quality of building is way too low. If we call the service guys to fix during warranty they ask 1000 questions as if we are asking them free services.. will stay away from them

We are very disappointed with the quality of painting at our house. The paint is already fading off or as u see a little stain and try to wipe it you can literally see the bare cardboard or the wall. It is clear they did only a single layer of paint throughout the house. This is terrible compared to our previous house we built from Ryan homes. We thought Beazer was way better than Ryan homes. We are very disappointed. Also as soon as we moved in we started steeping on needs on the staircase and had two incident where kids were injured and I️ personally and was bleeding.

I wouldn’t buy beazer homes at all when we first came into our new home it was dirty! We had to clean it ourselves! None of our Ethernet jacks work in the house which come in Standard but they try to upsell you in sales! Customer service is poor and also management! The walk through wasn’t like it should’ve been we didn’t even put blue tape because he said we will take care of it! I’m not the only one that’s having this problem in this community! Do your research before you buy!

Decent product, but you can easily find similar craftmanship with better customer service elsewhere. I signed for building plans that were not completed correctly and then I was given a hassle for an issue that was clearly defined graphically and contractually. Project management/Builder is often unresponsive. I was treated/spoken to in a rude manner after holding Beazer accountable for poor professionalism. I unfortunately had no choice to settle on my home, but I do not recommend Beazer Homes.
