Not the best experience

  • Heather C.
  • Verified HomeBuyer
  • April 30, 2025
  • Walton, KY

Everything was good until we closed. Once we closed, outstanding issues have been pushed to the back burner. We’ve had to repeated ask for follow up. We have major drainage issues in our yard which have yet to be resolved. Concrete subs were terrible. Porch step has yet to be redone and repoured because it was done incorrectly. All of the extenuating issues have outweigh the good at this point.

Drees Homes responded:
Heather - First, we apologize for any frustration you have experienced regarding outstanding issues. Customer satisfaction is extremely important to us, and we have shared your review with our local leadership team so they are aware of your feedback.

Lack of respect of working customers

  • Terry M.
  • Verified HomeBuyer
  • April 24, 2025
  • Walton, KY

Drees does not respect the customers time from scheduling meetings, contractors showing up without prior notification post-close, to lawn completion. We have been left with a dirt yard for going on 3 months after closing. For dog owners, this defeats the purpose of purchasing a home and has left us with an absolutely miserable experience. We have had to take time from work, rearrange schedules, and make arrangements for our dogs to be cared for with no end in sight. While we are incredibly happy with the quality, our experience has overshadowed the quality leaving us regretting our ...

Drees Homes responded:
Terry - First, we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this has caused, as customer satisfaction is a top priority for us. We have escalated your review to our local team, who advised that they have your yard scheduled to be installed next week, weather permitting. Please don't hesitate to reach out to Customer Care if you need anything in the meantime. ...

The quality of finish work was subpar and disappointing. There was a general lack of quality control in finishing our home. It has required numerous onsite visits by Drees and their subcontractors. For the amount paid, new construction homes should have much better quality. We understand in any new construction there wilkl be minor items, but our home had everyting from poor flooring installation, forgotten items, poor HVAC, missing critical mechanical items, severely poor drywall and mud work, tile and chauking and grout work was sloppy. Overall, we regret our purchase of this Drees home.

We looked at multiple builders in our area, and Drees clearly delivered the highest value. Our sales rep was attentive and informative. The design center is fantastic, and our designer greatly helped in the decision-making process. Our builder was on top of organizing multiple work crews and quickly handled most concerns that we raised. We've had some minor issues in the house completion, but all-in-all a very positive experience.

Slow to respond

  • Pete W.

The lack of urgency to fix the items found at the week before closing walk through has been disappointing… we highlighted ~15 items and we are approaching 99 days and we still have items open. The lack of respect by some of the subcontractors has been shocking as they fix one item and damage another item that requires someone else to come fix it.

Drees Homes responded:
Pete - Thank you for sharing your feedback. Please know that we take these matters seriously and aim to address any outstanding items in a timely manner. In reviewing your feedback with our local team, it is our understanding that the remaining items are seasonal and must be completed in the spring. Our team is committed to working with you to ensure these get completed as soon as possible. Should you need anything in the meantime, please feel free to contact your Customer Care Team. ...

Summer 2024 purchase

  • Jeffrey B.
  • Verified HomeBuyer

  • Hebron, KY

Overall happy with our experience. The Market manager was very responsive. Design center rep also very helpful. Overall quality is good; however, baseboards are made from particle board type material - already chipping after 2 months. We’re not happy with microwave/oven combo. The power level of the microwave is too low and controls take too many touches to accomplish a quick warm. Since the controls are shared, the oven is cumbersome to use too. Be sure to try out the design center appliances to ensure you like them. Having some electrical issues but Drees has been quick to help. ...

This is the sixth new house we’ve built. By far, our experience with Drees was the best! The sales process, selection process, and building process were all very organized, professional, and well run. Our building supervisor, Clayton, was the best we’ve ever worked with!

We received an absolutely filthy house that took me hours to clean when I should’ve been able to unload and unpack boxes. We’ve had issues come up since closing Which have not been handled in a timely manner at all. It was such a great Experience up until the closing and now I feel like Drees has completely dropped the ball.
