Bloomfield Homes Reviews

Framing material was just fair. Many pieces were not in the best of shape yet workers still used them even after we brought it to their attention. Concrete laid was very wavy, holes in various spots, one corner completely fell apart. Brought it to their attention as we didn't want to have this be an issue when the flooring got laid and apparently they didn't fix it because we had to have 2 section of flooring relayed and some of our furniture still does not lay flat to the floor. Painting, texture fair. Paint is a very poor grade of paint and for the price paid for this home, should have better quality and workmanship. On the plus side design of the home is outstanding which is why we decided to continue with the purchase and rework things after the warranty period of the 1st year is over. We will not be recommending Bloomfield which is a shame because your designs and the community we are in is great. You need to hire better construction personnel who take pride in the work they do as if the home was theirs. ... More

Staff is rude and unprofessional.

Cabinets in kitchen and bathroom not thought out very well. Existing patio not large enough.

We have had a number of issues with our new home. These have ranged from a massive leak in the utility room that damaged the drywall to unfinished areas under the sink. Our latest issue seems to be another water leak that has led to a water bill for 25,000 gallons of water and what seems to be a loose screw or wire that was in the garbage disposal (our first use of it was greeted by a sharp metallic sound). We enjoy the home and it looks nice, but it just feels like a never ending chain of problems that we have to deal with. My wife felt so very good about the home when we bought it. She was excited and it felt like it would be some place she could make her own and that she would enjoy. As of now, I feel she has become a bit exasperated with the home. There just seems to be always another issue that is going on as we continue to live here (its been about 2-3 weeks that we have lived in our home now). ... More

AFTER SPEAKING WITH SEVERAL OF MY NEIGHBORS, WE ARE ALL VERY DISAPPOINTED IN OUR NEW HOMES. CONCRETE IS CRACKED OUT IN DRIVES AND GARAGES. TRIM IS LOSE ON SOME OF THE HOMES, TREES ARE DYING, SPRINKLER SYSTEMS ARE A MESS, YARDS WEREN'T LEVELED BEFORE SOD WAS APPLIED, MASTER BATH SINK HAD AN 8" CRACK IN IT, TUB WAS CHIPPED, BATHROOM COUNTERTOPS WERE ALL SCRATCHED UP, A/C HANDLER HAD A LOOSE BRACKET & DIRTY FILTER. INTERIOR PAINT WAS MISSED IN MANY AREAS, FRONT DOOR THRESHOLD WAS CRACKED ON BOTH SIDES, ETC. RUSHED CARELESS CONSTRUCTION AND LANDSCAPING. WISH WE HAD TALKED TO THE NEIGHBORS BEFORE WE PURCHASED THIS PROPERTY AND I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE. SO FAR, 6 OF MY NEIGHBORS ARE VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THEIR HOMES, AS WELL. BLOOMFIELD IS NOT A QUALITY CUSTOM HOME BUILDER. SHAME ON THEM. ... More

After about 6 weeks in our home it seems to be of good quality; however they appear to be slow in fixing the list of items identified during final walk through and during our first days in the home. There is a lack of communication on the status of any action being taken on the list.

I feel that there were corners cut when building this home. I can’t name ALL of them because there are so many. My thought is they had new workers that were starting out and my house was the test dummy. I would have liked my home to be of the same quality as the model home but one all the issues are fixed this could be a good home.

Workers don't take pride in the quality or their work. Too sloppy.

Bloomfield makes a great and very pretty house. We have had a few minor (not showstopper) issues including missing trim and minor adjustments as needed. We were hit with a $700 water bill the first month as the sprinkers had been adjusted to settle the sod - it had not been communicated to us to dial back the sprinklers and even when we did to the suggest values there was still a lot of water being used.

We purchased a spec house. Although there were a lot of thing we couldn't change, we were still pretty satisfied in the beginning. After we moved into our house, there were some things that needed to be fixed. The service was slow. My wife and I work, so we had to take off or wait until the weekend. We continue to find subpar things such as windows not sealed properly, scratches on the countertops, etc. Most of these things are fixed. I love my home but the service could be better.

Punch list items linger, no pre-walk they to catch things before owner did, construction crews keep roads blocked and dirty, neighborhoods sales rep was difficult to work with

I've been in my home one month and 10 days and due to carelessness have had a water leak. I've been without the complete use of my kitchen since May 28th. The Bloomfield representative has been excellent getting the situation resolved, however nothing was offered for this inconvenience until I asked. One can expect some things to be corrected but not a water leak.

Wish I could give 5 stars because I love my house. Unfortunately this process has been horrible. My home was consistently left wide open even getting close to completion. My family and it we almost attacked by German Shepherds that we habitating in my upstairs living space. Our home is still not complete as per the contract. We closed on our home believing all punch items were done. That was not the case. There was broken cabinets, cracked tile, thresholds missing brick and a few other things incomplete. We've been in almost two months and still dealing with issues. Our yard will be torn up some time this week because the sprinkler line wasn't run to it's own meter as per Glenn Heights regulations. For all these things to be comoleted I've had to miss time off work. Our home is beautiful but I can't recommend Bloomfield to friends with good faith. ... More

I moved from another state so unfortunately I was not able to see the home in person before moving. I will say that the layout of the home is nice, however the workmanship isn't all there, especially for the price of the home. There were many delays in getting the home ready due to vendors not doing their job on time or properly. I have been in the home for almost two months and still waiting on vendors who were supposed to come BEFORE we even moved in. I didn't want to push the closing date so we moved in and I was told them would be there that next week, which clearly never happened. I have followed up many times and still no repairs. As a first time home buyer I would say it was definitely not worth buying a new build. ... More

I want to share my negative experience with ArrowBrooke’s sales manager, Jeff. Throughout the process, I felt that he treated me poorly and acted in a condescending manner. He often dismissed my questions with comments like “what do you mean, I don’t understand you” or “I already told you,” which made me feel disrespected. Additionally, he did not allow my sister to accompany me to view the house, which I felt was unreasonable and unprofessional. His overall attitude came across as controlling and belittling, and I felt bullied during the entire process. Because of this behavior, I decided to limit my interactions with Jeff and communicated only through the construction manager, Josh, who was much easier to work with. ... More

Immediately off to a bad start when the water line was in the middle of the closet floor and had to be rerouted. Workers were not careful to protect the work of others. Brand new cabinets and counters had paint from painters not bothering to cover them before painting. Painters cleaned up in the brand new sink leaving paint and scratches. Someone used the microwave and got sauce all over the inside and left it dirty. Workers would leave trash like food wrappers and spilled food on the floors and counters. Workers made holes for ducts in the wrong places which led to an immediate need for a roof repair. Another vent went straight through the kitchen ceiling and had to be removed and rerouted, followed by a ceiling repair. The electricians didn’t hit their targets either. An extra switch added so we could turn out lights in the bedroom without getting out of bed, was placed no where near where the bed goes, so we still have to get out of bed. Cabinets were installed with a drawer that didn’t fit so paint was damaged. Another cabinet had a crack and was left for us to find the problem instead of dealing with it. Brick work is decent but with some really wide patches of mortar in some places. Also, mortar was dropped and left on patios and now patios look dirty because they didn’t bother cleaning up after themselves. Damage to trim both inside and outside was not patched, just simply painted over. Tile floor could be smoother. Lots of high and low tiles. Grout was sloppy. Holes in grout and grout left on tile surface. Also, even though tile people covered with cardboard to protect, cleaner removed it prematurely and painters got paint overspray everywhere during touch up’s. Shower glass installed wrong left us with a leak. There is more but you should get the idea. All this is bad enough but the site foreman didn’t catch anything on his own. We had to point out the problems along the way. He didn’t even do a blue tape walk of his own. The excuse was it was too cold during the cold spell this winter, but the house had heat. Both the foreman and sales person acted like we were just hard to please for wanting things to be right. They kept telling us everything would look great before closing but after more than a month we are still dealing with workers coming to do warranty work to correct the problems, which is a huge inconvenience. ...

I liked the pricing of the house compared to competitors and also the customization options. Things looked okay until I saw the insulation methodology. The thing I can't digest is the usage of cardboard for weather barrier which coupled with the workmanship which is mediocre. So I am gonna have to live in a noisy, leaky, uncomfortable house with potential mold and pest problems. I expect better quality house for paying over a half million dollar. They are also rubbing it in by using weather barrier with 1in foam for all the houses that are currently under construction aroind my house.

Front and back yard are uneven and garage and front concrete aren't correctly put in place

The buying experience was that good using there realtor to sell our home. The workmanship on the new does meet my expectations for a $400k home. Too many small issues paint, texture, imperfections etc. Masterbed closet too small no light in one of the closets make sure these thing looked at very close before you close refrigerator is offset dishwasher part fell off smh.

Please make sure you check all drawers and cabinets. Most drawers throughout the house are extremely hard to open as if they are off the track.

Lots of poor work in build. Walls are very crooked. Tile is not level in many places, cracked in transition from hall to rooms. Paint was not good either. Garage door is spotty around the edges(common when checking neighbors). Texture incomplete on every wall. Sanding not done. Garage door has already snapped the wall it’s connected to. Also very common when looking at other builds. Landscaping not leveled. Lots of drainage issues, will need to install a drain system to remove puddles in yard. First time I mowed I found massive holes in the yard that were filled with bricks. Overall, the work feels very rushed. ... More

I am very please with my Sell manager experience but the Project manager experience wasn't good at all. Given my experience, I would still recommend Bloomfield. I love our home for the most part but I would not recommend building with the Project manager for our home. Again, I think that Bloomfield is a very good builder but we just had a bad experience with our Project manager.

On the day of closing we saw many issues left unaddressed but it wasn’t admitted properly. Coming to the cleaning of the home we saw dirty fans, paint on carpet and also on the flooring and when we ask regarding those builder mentioned it is our perspective. Never excepted that answer. Finally we excepted a better look of our new home

My closing date was charged several times. Finally moved in with a lot of issues needing to be resolved. House plan is beautiful but craftsmanship is poor; paint stains all over, crooked wall lines, chipped concrete floors, etc.

Not pleased with the staff and their response time, regarding concerns. Contractors were messy, inconsiderate of property and patched up a lot of flaws. Project manager had poor communication skills and failed to monitor job site to ensure accuracy. Third home purchased and this was the only place the agent did not show appreciation by sending a housewarming gift, not even a plant :( Wish I had given the commission to someone more hospitable/appreciative.
