Bloomfield Homes Reviews

From my personal experience, don't expect to get all of the deficiencies corrected . You may be left with problems to repair yourself or hire someone else to repair. Some are major issues and some are minor.

The initial process was fantastic. We had a great time designing the home. Even the initial build seemed to go without a hitch. The problems started once we had to wait on windows for 6 weeks and it went downhill from there. So far for the money invested in not impressed at all.

Can discuss over phone

Due to our past experience with the Sales Manager I would NOT recommend anyone to Bloomfield Homes.

Will state up front that we love our new house. It is wonderful, quality construction, a fantastic modern house. We are very happy there. But getting to that point was a painstaking process that almost caused us to pull out. We signed our paperwork on Memorial Day weekend, broke ground in August, yet didn't move in until late the following July. While I didn't expect that 6 to 8 month build the saleslady predicted, I did not think that it would take 14 months. Communication was poor and usually initiated by me. I can handle that part of it, but the excuses I got (when I got any) were poor. City falling behind on inspections, they said. Yet, the other builder in the neighborhood somehow was able to get their houses inspected an finished. The house next door to me, literally, was a vacant lot for at least a month after we secured our space. Yet their house was finished months ahead of ours. Eventually, a new foreman came in and was able to get everything moving and he was honest with us about the delays, which I appreciated. Because of the delays, we missed the Spring/Summer selling timeframe for our old home, which may or may not cost us money in the long run. Love the house and love the quality, but would not recommend this builder or use them again. Not trying to be rude, just being honest... ... More

Not a great service

We are a first time home buyer, and we had high expectations, and we were very excited with our first house! We moved on May 31, 2019, and for our surprise, a lot of things on the house were unfinished having knowledge before the closing day of such problems and details. Today is July 7th, 2019 and we continuos having sketchy stuff like the doors of the study room are unpainted, the paint details in the rest of the house are incomplete. We never received the set of the different paint colors used in our home to fix accidents that happened during the moving process. We asked M. for everything we needed (for the second time, the first time was during the walkthrough before the closing.) Today day they have done some of the work. We received the sample floor kit; the master bathroom sink was fixed, a problem we had under the island on the kitchen was resolved. Also, the texture was changed under two of the arches that needed it. However, we discovered now that the bathtub on the master bathroom has no hot water; the water is only a little warm. We are VERY DISAPOINTED with the company. How do you want to be considered a trustworthy company if we are leaving for a month and 21 days in an unfinished house? Just a scenario to illustrate our frustration: Is the day of our closing, but unfortunately, we haven't the money needed complete. We are sure you don't wait for us a month or two to have the cash on hands, and then proceed with the closing. For us, this situation is very unethical and unprofessional. We are unsatisfied with the quality of the work and the termination of our house details. ... More

Defects were found during the building process and pointed out to Project Manager, Instead of properly correcting the issue it would just be covered up instead. There are several issues that are very sub par quality in workmanship.

Things have been messed up in my house that are covered under warranty. but getting them to take care of it seems to be an issue

Poor workmanship and a lack of attention to detail. Ceiling leaked, yard drainage issues, lost water pressure, poor caulking/weather stripping, many things not leveled/are crooked, cabinets now starting to crack, retaining walls cracking. The list goes on. I've only been in the home a couple of months. My high marks go to the responsiveness to issues as the builder in this area has been great to work with and really seems to care. He makes sure to get our issues resolved when we make contact. I was just hoping for better quality at this price point and not to have this many issues so early on in ownership. Overall, the house is still beautiful. I'll give it half a year and if I don't run into anymore issues I will up the star count on the review (if updates are possible). ... More

My Primrose V is a beautiful home, I am actually enjoying today. What I am disappointed with is the workmanship issues that I am constantly finding, I can forward pictures if needed.Some issues were promptly taken care of by Jason while others made known to him have been lingering.I have actually fixed some issues myself because of the delayed response from Jason.I would really like for someone to visit my home so that I can cover all workmanship issues and help future Bloomfield customers enjoy a better product.

Things can improve if the follow up on issues and concerns get done.

My first home was built by a different builder at a simillar price point and the design, build quality, workmanship, response to issues, customer issues, etc. were far above that of Bloomfield. Prior to and since moving in I have had issue after issue and have been unimpressed to say the least by the home. Plumbing issue in the second bathroom in the wall. The new wall had to be cut out to repair. How was this not tested? Crack in the ceiling of the main hallway at closing, they repaired, and it came back worse in less than a month. Builder didn't even want to fix it. I was told the builder couldnt put an outlet in a certain spot out of the mirror on the actual wall, yet they did it in the model. Go figure. Drainage issues I addressed at the beginning continue to be an issue. They were not much help at design time. They did a horrible job leveling and putting backfill. I would not build with them again. ... More

Quality of house is terrible. There is evidence of cheapest materials used through out every part of house construction. Because of this, there is no cold insulation in winter nor heat insulation during summer. Adding to that, the HVAC system is the cheapest version possible which struggles to keep the house warm during the mildest winters. To make things worse, the HVAC uses up 60% to 70% more gas to keep house reasonably warm. To keep the house at ideal temperature would mean thousands of dollars in monthly gas bills. The appliances seem to have been picked up from a clearance or refurbished store. They cut corners with things like doors, windows, bathroom and electrical fixtures. So many things have failed during the first month of ownership. Needless to say, we would never dare to buy another Bloomfield home, nor can we recommend it to friends or family. ... More

The initial process was great. Everyone was friendly, attentive, responsive, and enjoyable to work with. The ending has been horrific. After signing, I was told by multiple people not to worry about issues that I see because Bloomfield would take care of them. The stainless steel sinks in the kitchen and laundry room were scratched beyond belief. The tubs had several scratches on them. When I complained about them, a worker was sent and sanded the scratches on all three tubs; therefore, one side of each tub was glossy and the other side was rough. I complained about the rough side, then, a tub refinisher was sent out to refinish the tubs. Now, the tubs are two different shades and have two different textures. I complained and expressed that I do not want two-toned, two-textured tubs in my new house. I would never have imagined refinished tubs in a brand new home that cost this much money. I paid for upgraded countertops, and the countertops have been rubbed with some type of cleaning solution that took away the gloss and has a chipped area. Hopefully, it will be replaced. The hood vent from the stove is very loud when the wind blows which is extremely annoying. From research, it says the noise is because the materials are cheap. I was told that is just the way they are. The commodes are tiny and are not a set. The base is from one company and the top is from a different company. The top changed color within a week and was not painted well. I have never been in a brand new home with two different brands for a commode set just to save money, especially with the cost of this house. Stains were in the commode that a professional came in and removed. Commode tops were chipped. Commode tops have been replaced. Microwave was making a loud sound. Some windows do not open. One window has a cracked base. There was a bulge from the baseboard that was repaired. Shower does not come with a flap to keep the water from getting on the floor. I was told to put a mat there to keep the water from making a puddle on the floor. Garage door stopped working properly within a week. It has been repaired. Some electrical wiring share the same wiring when there should have been separate wiring/switch. House has entirely too many cost cutting measures in it for the high price sold. I have not been able to enjoy this house at all due to the repairs that need and should be done. This is not my first home being built, but it definitely does not compare to the previous quality. This house has taken a toll on me mentally with the defects and economical measures taken. ... More

First time home buyer, and I feel like I was sold a dud. Warranty claims take forever to process.

Before closing there were a lot of promises kept to repair issues that were found, after closing I was advised to create a list of repair items. It has now been also 90 days after closing and I still have yet to have all lf the repairs issue acknowledged and or fixed. The project manager tends to deny every issue that I find and tried to state that any issue found would.not be fixed until the 1 year inspection after I read the warranty document that states that I should be getting issues fixed as soon as possible. My sod is dead and I advised the project manager as such and have been getting the run around due to the warranty that expired for the sod 30 days before I closed, the landscapers stated they are no liable due to time frame and it is up to the builder to resolve. On a scale of 1 to 10 I would give a 1.5, there is absolutely to communication, I have had to tell the project manager to give me the information for the vendors in hopes that this will expedite repairs but instead they still go back and forward about who is responsible to repair each item. I am starting to feeling like I need to seek outside assistance in order to get my issues resolved because no one seems to listen or care about the issues that are still under warranty. ... More

There were a lot of promises about quality and service and the more I live on my house the more I realized they cut corners or that things were done at the promised expectations. Awful service by the “partners” or prepaid services our builder choose. Really bad communication or notice. The only good service we received was by the construction manager that was extremely polite and detailed when we did the walk thru for the property. When we actually took over the property it was really dirty, nothing got repainted not fixed, mud stains in the floor, paint sprayed on the side of the brick wall, unsealed windows, paint on the windows and baseboards. Wouldn’t recommend to anyone to purchase a house with Bloomfield unless they are not on a rush. ... More

We made your builder aware that the Ac wasn’t working upstairs 6 weeks prior to closing. It wasn’t fixed on time and we were forced to move our closing back. We did our blue tape walk through and some of the issues were ignored. I brought this up to the builder and he told us that he could move the closing back again when he knew that we had to be out of our other house by a certain date. We could not move our closing back again. For us this ruined what would have been a great experience.

We are basically happy with our home, but only because we like the design and location. Bloomfield has been a chore to work with throughout the selection, build and start of the warranty process. Jason, the builder rep., was very inconsistent with what options were offered compared to other Bloomfield owners, and when we discovered some of these options, we were told "you can fix that after closing, no changes are allowed after the contract is signed." Additionally, items like "upgrading" to comfort height toilets incurred an upcharge of $200 per toilet - essentially meaning we bought double the amount of toilets for the house. Also, elements like 8' front doors were offered, but not any of the other designs were suggested. At move in, there were paint splotches all over the ceramic tile; the baseboards on the staircase and upper level were painted AFTER the carpet was installed; water heater was set to vacation mode; hot water valve for the soaking tub was not turned on; windows were filthy, etc... I could provide about 30 additional examples of items that were wrong and will have to be fixed either by us, or through the warranty process. While we will eventually love our new home, we are 45 days in and there are still too many problems that need resolution that are preventing us from truly enjoying our new space. ... More

We have some issues as we move in four weeks and the issues haven’t been resolved until now. First the backyard, AC Not working and there’s cracks on our bathroom walls and skunk in the attic and all these are still pending to be resolved.

We have built before with Bloomfield, but this experience was quite different. Unfortunately, the Project Manager, Floyd Argue, decided that he would not fix any issues on the house and actually asked us not to contact him with concerns. He struggled with basic knowledge of the building process and was not available for questions, concerns, or even basic walk through.

Unfortunately, my home buying experience with Bloomfield Homes has been horrible so far. On my closing day (Oct 17) approx 75% of final repairs were not completed as promised. To make matters worse, Jared, the project manager was so disrespectful and threw a tantrum when asked about said repairs. He does not take accountability in making sure that Bloomfield Homes are completed to their once reputable standards. Two weeks after moving into my home I experienced a leak in my ceiling that was supposedly repaired prior to closing. I also experienced a gas leak in my two days before Thanksgiving. There is not a rush to get any repairs done after closing( even though they are in writing). I had to contact the coporate office to get any repairs started. The quality of my home is subpar as well as my neighbors. ... More

It wasn't easy to communicate with the builder. My questions were answered with (per code, within the limit, per design). The builder had fake passed test reports and was trying to convince me that everything was perfect, while my 3rd party inspection found lots of minor and major issues.

The paint drops on the wood floor, paint/texture on granite counters and poor workmanship with the caulking in the bathroom was quite surprising! It truly looks like a 5 year old caulked the bathroom. This was pointed out to the project manager during our new homeowner orientation, but nothing has been done since. I am not sure I would recommend a Bloomfield home, given our experience. We believe if we lived locally when home was being built, many of these issues would have been resolved prior to close of escrow. We believe the fact that we were out of state, we were taken advantage of to some degree. ... More
