Drees Homes Reviews

We were going to proceed with the other developer in our subdivision but they withheld information just prior to signing a commitment and paying deposits that left us thinking they were not completely trustworthy. Drees stepped in with an equivalent house that was $70K less expensive and on a better lot. Overall Drees chose to use better materials than the other builder,, for example our gutters drain in to enclosed pipes underground rather than just onto a plate on top if the grass. Drees also include a lot of low voltage items at no cost which were a cost for us with the other builder. Drees were excellent to deal with and highly responsive. A couple of small warranty issues were dealt with very quickly and we are fully happy with the support we have received. When we build another house on land in a couple of years we will ask Drees Homes to quote but we wont ask David Weekley Homes! ... More

Very nice people to work with and easy to work with

From the first inquiry to the closing, Drees was very quick to respond with pertinent, accurate information. Our home was built according to the options we chose, and the Drees staff was extremely helpful. While we did have the option of using several different builders to complete our dream home, we really feel that we made the right decision by choosing Drees.

For the most part, it was a great experience.

I was very pleased with the buying process and getting to the final move in date. It was my first time building so a whole different situation for me. They mapped out everything that was happening. The website they have for you to look at all your progress and document was very helpful and good reference. Was able to move in a little earlier than first expected. My specific builder was great and so helpful.

When ever we had questions on anything regarding house, Charlie and Susan were on top of the issues and were able to resolve them quickly and efficiently.

We are happy with our lot location, floor plan, neighbors and community. We are not so happy with Drees. These positives may have clouded our decision to go with Drees. Knowing what we know now we should have spent more time looking at other builders. * Construction Experience We did receive regular build updates from the construction supervisor but updates about how on-going construction problems would be dealt with were lacking. The builder needed to be more focused on the quality of the subcontractor’s work and willing to act on it. Drees quality is only as good as the quality of the subcontractors, and some were poor. * Quality of Workmanship We got to a point where we were afraid to add an item to the punch list because some subcontractors were so poor they made the problem worse. Some problems we identified should have been identified by the builder and corrected without our involvement. This creates concern about possible problems we cannot see. There are construction tasks that don’t seem to be a part of any subcontractor’s scope. Our job site was noticeably messier than other job sites. Drees should require subcontractors to clean up after themselves. * Design Selection Experience We felt rushed with the Drees Design Center experience. The software they used to help choose was buggy and not ready for production. Things like simple electrical upgrades were not listed in the “system”, so multiple existing items were cobbled together to make up the “upgrade”. This made the simple upgrade cost prohibitive and not good value. After moving in, the actual quality of some flooring was not what we expected from Drees * Home Readiness and Closing We delayed our closing three times. The additional delays cost us storage fees otherwise we would have delayed again. Also, it required rescheduling movers. We were told outstanding punch list items would be incorporated into the closing as a formal document/process. At closing no one knew what we were talking about when we asked. There was no one from Drees at the closing. Almost three months after closing we still have unresolved items. We would recommend to those building with Drees that you do not close until all unresolved items are complete. ... More

Great buying experience! Sales were always quick to respond to questions!

They work very fast and friendly professional job

Overall the experience has been Great. Saul and Joanne did an amazing job upfront during the purchase and moving in. The care team of Anita and Tierra have been responsive to all my needs. While the service has been great Saul has gone above and beyond in making sure things go well and even tho Joanne was in sales she continued to support after. Highly pleased.

Before I purchased with Drees I did a lot of checking with other builders and after that process was over Drees Himes was whom I wanted to choose to build my home. They were efficient and professional throughout the process. Mark our house project manager was outstanding and went over and beyond to make sure everything was ready for us.

My wife and I selected Drees as we were able to do some customizations to the plan. The people throughout the entire process were very helpful and responsive. The only thing that could have been improved was that they were building several homes at the same time and while they did a fantastic job addressing small build/follow up concerns at the end of the process (resolved them all), many could have been addressed during the build effort itself. I would recommend Drees to others. We love our new home.

We have had a good experience just some issues with water leaking and haven’t had as much help with that as we should have for a 3 month old house.

Very bad experience with the Drees mortgage. Sales person Susan was great and knowledgable and builder Keith was very helpful through out the whole process.

We’ve been in our house for a few months and are enjoying it immensely! They allowed us to customize our house to make it truly our home. There have been a few issues along the way but the Drees team has been very responsive in working towards solutions. I would build with Drees again.

All of the Drees people were professional, well prepared to answer any and all questions or concerns, and rapidly responded to any concern. I am totally happy and impressed with this build and resulting property we now call home.

Our builder Michael was great to work with and has addressed all of our concerns and issues since we moved in.

Treamore is a niche neighborhood, proximity, good schools. Would be wonderful & complete if DREES can carve out space for a play area & tennis/basketball courts.

We’ve built multiple new homes as well as purchased market homes. Drees does a nice job, but like any builder you need to co-manage the process, trust, but verify.

We worked with our sales agent for over a year before we decided to build at The Parks at Carriage Crossings. She kept us informed and no matter how many questions we had during the pre-contract stage, she was prompt in responding via text or email. My husband and I are so pleased to be living here. Our dreams have come true.

We love harmony bluffs we have a beautiful view of the lake and wild life.

We do not recommend building with Drees.

Customizations that can be trusted!

Team was great and very responsive

My wife is disabled. Drees builders could not have been more attentive to my wife’s disability. They were constantly in contact with us to make sure that the building process was accommodating her needs. We would recommend Drees builders to anyone that is considering building a home
