Drees Homes Reviews

I would like to recognize Nick J for his responsiveness to any issues I’ve had to call about. He’s fixed them quickly and efficiently. I would also like to send a big thank you to Neil for his quick response to any indoor issues. He has been a pleasure to work with

So many times, you hear of all the nightmares with building a new house. Our process couldn't have gone smoother. Greg, our Market Manager and Keith, our builder, were fantastic to work with. They were responsive, caring and respected everything we needed and wanted in our home. We were given weekly updates and always got responses within hours when we reached out with a question or concern. I would highly recommend Drees to anyone looking to build.

Explored other builders. Decided on Drees. Value, style and flexibility to customize resulted in a spectacular home!

The home was not worth what we paid and we arevsyill having issues.

Lawn maintenance was not good as need to reseed the backyard lawn within one month after moving in. There are medium size rocks and two very big sized rocks in the backyard.

1)Lawn seeding and sod was not good that just put seeding and without losses soil 2)garage concrete was good that had a long line crack 3)screen door qua wasn’t good 4) patio concrete was not good 5) Steel was exposed out of concrete 6) close door doesn’t align with block area 7)front door lock spent two months to fixed due to ins wrong spec

Drees Homes is a trustable and reliable builder, they value their customer and strive to make it right if there are any issues in the building process and offer good support after moving in.

Our builder Rob was awesome. He deserves all the praise!

Overall we are very happy. Didn’t like $400 water bill we received for first month—due to non-stop watering of lawn.

We decided to build with Drees, because we believed they built superior homes. We do like our home and think aesthetically it looks nice. Unfortunately several issues have clouded our experience. Several of the subs who worked on our house did a sloppy, careless job and would also often leave food, drink, and trash onsite after they left for the day. Days before closing I noticed and killed a large cockroach in the house and was hoping it was just a one-off. Unfortunately, that was not the case and we are now experiencing a cockroach infestation that we are trying to mitigate ourselves and with exterminators. We believe that a dirty construction site and a lack of sealing the house properly have likely led to this issue. A brand new house should not have cockroaches.There were also times when a sub would be sent to fix something and it would not be done correctly, so another sub would be sent out. We would suggest looking into hiring a new pool of subs for these reasons. Our house has been under construction in one way or another since we moved in (2.5 months ago) due to items on our punch list during our walkthrough along with a few additional items we noticed after moving in. We have truly appreciated our contractor, Josh’s responsiveness and willingness to fix the issues, but our problem is that there have been ALOT of issues. Three of our windows have been leaking and have caused water damage and have caused a mold smell in the house. We appreciate the responsiveness of Jimmy to have them fixed, but unfortunately the window replacements may take a while to come in and other broken windows that happened during construction have not yet been fixed. To put it simply, we do not believe this should be the experience when buying a new home. We have had one issue after another and are getting tired of new problems popping up and have concerns over what future problems may arise. If we could do it again, we would likely go with a different builder and hope for better results. ... More

Drees Homes did a great job building our home. With supply chain shortages they explored every option to get our house built in teh time that was promised and at teh price we were told. Debbie and Kris were great to work with and I highly recommend building with Drees.

Total lack of craftsmanship in our home - no pride in workmanship. No follow-through with site manager. Incorrect materials used, walls and trim work are curved, light switches wired randomly, no insulation in basement, floors are not even, brick and mortar sloppy and ruined porches, standing water in duct work, poor quality of lumber used, etc.

Very beautiful floor plan and excellent quality!

We love our new home! We will definitely recommend Drees

Very poor quality of the grading, landscape, they cut the trees in my lot but not removed the stumps, Too much noise from 2nd and 3rd floor below the carpet, it looks like below the carper ceiling not installed properly(20% area) making more noise, carpet nails not installed properly hurt you while walking, have to wait 90 days to fix some of these issues, poor quality of the painting work, wrong colors installed on ceiling, Instead of fixing and improving the quality they just talk normal buzz word as per the code. Its not worth for the amount we paid and services. One last thing fireplace fire was triggered automatically due tow some power glitch, have to stop main panel power breaker to stop it for the entire living room. ... More

Excellent job in their response to any issues even after move-in. Good workmanship and quality work

Was easy. Wish the paint in the home was better quality and weI had a place to put a bathroom in the basement but other than that we are satisfied.

I think buying my home with Drees was a great experience. This is my third home with 3 different builders, overall this has been the best experience. The only issue I had was with timeliness of repairs, I have been in my hoe for about 2 months, and still have red and blue tags.

Did a building your own kit instead of using a custom builder and we should have gone custom. We moved in June 10 after months of delays and no work being completed. Our punch list from our walk thru June 2 still isn’t done. Took our construction manager off our house and sent him to a neighborhood 3 weeks before we were supposed to move in. Communication as to delays was horrible. Communication as to completing this punch list has been nonexistent unless I reach out and follow up. If you’re building in an established Drees neighborhood, they’ll be great. But I would not recommend it for an alternative to a custom route. A single home in a single lot is not the priority…despite it being $$$ ... More

My experience with Drees was a great one. I am very satisfied with my home.

Everything was great from start to finish! Some small bumps in the road but those were completely unavoidable. Drees was very responsive to any issue. Danny our sales person was amazing and we could not have asked for a better builder than Mark. If I ever build again, I will most likely use Drees!

A great choice to buy a new house from Drees, they are always on time and ready to help when needed

My house has too many water leak issues in the basement within the first month of the move. These things should have been taken care properly before handing over the house. Its almost 2 months now and my basement is a mess with broken drywalls and the tarps are torn for fixing. Most of the windows were not properly caulked due to last month thunderstorm may windows had too much water leak due to poor caulking. These caulking and water proofing are the basic things that needs to be done for water prevention into the house. I have called drees more than 5 times in last 2 months for multiple water issues. ...

The whole experience was better than we could ever image! All the people we worked with were fantastic! Thanks Kristy, Zac and Kandace!

We were happy with the building experience overall. Positives are quality and build process. Some opportunity on time frame promised vs delivered, Issues with the lot lines vs what was actually presented.
