Beazer Homes Reviews in Sussex, DE

The house itself is pretty well built. But Beazer did not tell us prior to closing that MediaCom, the only cable supplier in the Estuary, had not installed any of the necessary infrastructure. Beazer claims they didn’t know-that’s hard to believe. And if true, local management is incompetent and should be fired. In any case they have disavowed any responsibility. Basically, they’ve said “it’s not our problem—deal with MediaCom. They fail to understand that we buyers deal with THEM. We depend on the builder to do their due diligence in all areas. After almost 2 months we’re still dealing with hotspots that barely work. We were just told that Beazer’s “entire top management team” had met on this. But NOTHING Has changed. ... More

Don’t settle until everything is fixed that is obvious to you. Don’t settle on a house that has construction on both sides of yours. Windows do not lock.

The staff was very helpful in selecting "extras". The sales rep did a great job of explaining the use of the select mortgage program and savings. Our disappointment comes in the closing process and the lack of quality control. After 2 months we are still waiting for action on our 2+page punch list. Most items on the list are a result of sloppy workmanship and oversight. Our home inspector referred to the work as below industry standards.

Everything in a Beazer home is builder grade. The workmanship throughout the home's systems is poor quality. The finishes are minimal, for example, there is no molding around windows or ceilings. The trim molding at the floor is cut haphazardly and nail holes are not finished or stick out of the trim in many areas. Every system in the house I bought had to be corrected. The ac, garage door, fireplace. water and duct systems were not hooked up correctly and all had to have corrective work done to make them function. DO NOT PAY FOR PAINT UPGRADE! This expensive option is a rip off. They did not use a primer, used builder grade paint for the single coat and did a very sloppy job. Drywall was not patched and sanded correctly and tape and pencil lines showed through the paint, Where they did sand the drywall, they did not clean the sanding and dragged the grit through the paint job. Even after requesting a second paint, the job was not completed properly and drywall tape and uneven surfaces still show. Trim was painted sloppily and nail holes are evident in many places. It was, and still is, a mess. USE A HOME INSPECTOR. Water lines were missing in several places and walls had to be removed or damaged in order to correct the problems. While they tout energy efficiency, the windows are cheap builder grade and don't block much cold air. You can see daylight around the front and garage doors which are not properly sealed or weather proofed. They don't paint the garage, and the drywall finish in the unpainted garage is minimal with globs of drywall compound slapped onto the walls, so even if you try to finish it yourself, you'll have quite a job on your hands. In most cases they have responded to fix the non-functioning systems, but they can do little to fix the poor quality of materials and careless workmanship. After you exhaust the onsite personnel with issues, you are directed to the new home center for your issues and you never hear any feedback from them at all, The whole system is rigged to build the cheapest house using the cheapest labor and you don't get what you pay for. ...

When you have your walk through make sure your check every thing over really good. DONT close until everything is fixed and working. Our house was a "rush" job to close by Beazer's year end of September and we have had so many issue's that take way too long for them to address.

The wood used around the windows and doors is dented and damaged but it was still used and then they paint over the damaged areas. Poor mitered corners, my kitchen backsplash tiles don't match (different shades of beige) I'm missing a spindle on my banister, my garage door just broke and has existing damage on the bottom, a rock fell out of our front facade, glass kitchen cabinet is cracked in all four corners, missing window screens, garage door knob is falling out of door, dents in the dry walls and everyone is to busy building more houses and not fixing the existing ones so we just sit and wait. This is a brand new home? THIS IS NOT FAIR!!!! ... More

The construction craftsmanship is very poor and the construction supervisor did not do his job to ensure that the trades did theirs

After spending over $400,000 for a new home we expected to move into a completed home. Instead we will be inconvenienced for months as you come back in to fix or finish a long list of items. Not the way I wanted to move into my new home. I wish we had purchased an NV home at the other end of our block, away from the stench of the chicken farm that we weren’t suppose to smell, that our neighbors say were move in ready.
