Drees Homes Reviews in Washington, VA

Up until the final weeks, the experience was pretty good. However, the final weeks, and after signing has been a nightmare. Final walkthrough (one week out) had countless issues, while numerous things were still not even scheduled, to know if we should be requesting they be fixed. On the day of closing, there were trades all over the house, paint all over the floors, etc. Needless to say, the day we had been dreaming about left much to be desired. But the worse part was post closing. The builder made a list of issues to be addressed "ASAP". Of which, he said half would be done by the end of that day. Complete lies. Nobody showed up that day. And the builder ghosted us. Did not answer his phone, full mailbox, and ignored texts. Beware. ... More

The home buying experience was overshadowed by the lack of adherence and unprofessionalism related to agreed upon purchase items to the house. Additionally, minor design flaws are not easily corrected through Drees (fixing myself). Ultimately, Drees came through in fulfilling their agreement for purchased items and corrected most but not all issues.

We moved to Drees 2months back. We are not satisfied with quality and workmanship. Some portion of the wood is not stable. It is going down or is soft. Paint finish is not good. Countertop is slanted.

Drees are exceptional homes. They will not push you into buying a home but be patient with you! I love my house and it’s amazing!

We still have blue tape all around our house on things that aren’t fixed. We are missing a cabinet in our basement bar because the cabinet installers left a broken cabinet, like we wouldn’t notice. When we opened the cabinet door, it just fell off. Also, our flooring was put in so terrible that we have lumps and bumps all over the place. I have zero trust with the team of people that were supposed to “help” us; they basically took our money and have left us. As much as we paid for the house (and our first water bill was over $600; there’s only 3 people in our house) our lawn should look better. Actually, we don’t really have much of a lawn. At least Atlantic Builders puts sod in their customers yards. Also, we were supposed to have a cutout for an electrical outlet for our basement for our business purposes and that still hasn’t been done, hindering our business growth. The workmanship was so sloppy that on the side of our home, they didn’t finish a row of stone; just put the mortar there and didn’t finish. I will NEVER build a new home again and I definitely recommend anyone building a new home to go with custom builder. ... More
