Beazer Homes Reviews in Indianapolis, IN

This is my 2nd time building with Beazer. Overall the process is easy and the houses are built to satisfaction. My only complaint this time around is that the model we chose had two lights that instead.of being part of the build and installed were only roughed in. It's in my opinion that all lighting should have fixtures installed during building. I understand roughing in fans, but not lighting.

Quality

There are definitely things I wish would have done with more quality, but the value I am getting is validated. For the price, the house is good. The drywall has some issues and the paint in the windows was poorly done. Since window treatments have been added, the impurities aren't visible. Overall, I am happy with the house, but I do wish more time would have been spent on the areas listed above.

We are happy to live in this neighborhood!!

The Beazer Greenwich floor plan with a sunroom, loft and basement is a very nice plan. We love the layout and use of the space. The building process was a little challenging and took longer than anticipated due mainly to availability of skilled labor. As a result we had to move in without a yard or any exterior caulk or paint. Quality is average with a few issues we had to call to their attention, which they resolved, but you have to be there to catch these.

My sales rep was wonderful! She presented all of the options in my price range and wasn’t pushy. I feel my home was a bit overpriced based on the upgrades and standard included items.

Our project mgr was very responsive to our requests/questions.

First, the home is comfortable and well made, and pleasing to the eyes. My major complaint is that hot water takes a full 2+ minutes to reach any sink. That is 10 minutes a day standing and waiting while 50 gallons of water a day go down the drain. We tried a hot water recirculating pump but it didn't work, so we were forced to install 3 under sink small water heaters in the kitchen and 2 bathrooms. That is a HUGE DESIGN FLAW that cost us $1800 to remedy. The yard is a bit TOO small, would prefer 50 X 50 and not 40 X 40 back yards. Not much guidance as to what you really can and can't do with the yard...HOA rules clearly say a black metal fence is allowed, but we were told you MUST put bushes around it to hide it, even though it doesn't mention or require that in the HOA rules addendum C. We have 2 small dogs and we plan to submit a fence proposal, but I do not know how much pushback we will face from the "reviewer," or how long it will take. ... More

The construction process was completed in fairly good tine with good communication throughout. However, the sales team is not aware of all details which result in surprises later on. If anything from the design studio turned out different, you have yo fight to get that addressed. If beazer provides a workaround, no compensation or discount is offered. Team is good, but can do with a lot more transparency.

Before moving in make sure everything you noticed is not done is done otherwise if you move in it Beazer home will never be done and have to make followups for it to be done.

The actual purchase and closing went fine. Super easy. Once we moved in, we ran into a big issue with our HVAC and blower motor in the attic. It was installed backwards which caused the thermostat on our dryer to blow out. Our HVAC was a manufacturer issue but should have been caught by Airtron. Actually both things should have been caught by Airtron. We are a month on and still getting the issues resolved. I think there should be a follow up walk thru 2-4 weeks after moving in and using everything.

Had several problems since move-in. They were fixed but shouldn’t have happened in the first place.

This is our 4th new construction home & although all of them had problems typical to new construction this Beazer home was truly a nightmare from beginning(lying sales girl who "forgot" to tell us the $10,000 rebate she promised was a no go) to the very end, when the Corporate Director of Construction was scrambling to get enough things fixed so we would close. I will say that the incredibly long problem list is, at least so far, mostly cosmetic in nature and fixable. However, there are some that are not fixable like the powder room toilet being so close to the wall a really heavy person won't be able to use it! Many of the problems are related to the upgrades we added, $150,000 worth more or less, which Beazer shouldn't offer if they can't handle proper installation of the product. In the end we did get a very beautiful home. Hopefully, after all the cosmetic issues are repaired, nothing structural will show up & we will sit in front of the gorgeous stone fireplace for years to come telling Beazer stories! My advice is that all the big builders are the same. If you can afford custom go for it. If not, pick a floorplan you love, like we did, visit the home during construction & inform your project manager of any problems you see ... More

Buying process was quick. Limited design options for basic i.e. included price. Construction quality leaves much to be desired.

Make sure that you know the quality of the standard products verses the upgrades. and the finishing results of the painting and the windows and the drywall is a little questionable. I just feel that for a home over $330,000 I should see pristine quality finishes. We have already replaced the shower heads and some faucets. We will also need to hire painters to improve the quality of the interior paint. Very disappointed with the end results we were given.

Multiple pieces of work were completed much after I moved in. During the building process i noticed that many of the studs were cracked all through and the earlier builder (first of 3) told me those would be replaced. I was later told that the cracked studs do not impact the main structure...my question was why put damaged studs, no replacements done. Some of the doors are not aligned correctly, this is quality control The painting job wasn't good, 2 months after moving in i am still noticing color differences. This may be minor to the management, but is poor quality to the end user. If such was the "attention to detail", then i wonder what else is quality challenged and is not visible to me? ... More

Prior to buying the home, things went somewhat smooth. We had a bump in the road with the our cash off the price. Due to some poor communication. After purchasing and moving in we had a few issues with sod and our hvac. Caleb had zero urgency in rectifying the issues which left us without AC for about a week during the hottest week of the year. In a brand new home, we felt that was just unacceptable. However, the rest of the experience has been good.

It’s been only less than two months and I can see cracks on concrete and paint.Beazers customer service is good but they should use quality material to avoid this issues.Overall I am little disappointed with the house.

The buying process was very pleasant. I closed the end of March and have a long list of things that need to be fixed and am not receiving the response or respect that I got prior to closing. I just want someone to communicate to me what is being done to resolve all my issues. Very disappointed

Construction is not good. I seen few issues with flooring and kitchen cabinets. I heard lot of wind sound on windy days.

The ability of the construction manager makes all the difference. We started out well and then got switched mid-stream. The last one was a real dud.

The drywall had patches where it was not sanded smooth prior to painting, The paint had in some places small imperfections where dirt or dust was trapped in paint roller. Caulking around corners of bathroom vanity and around other fixtures was haphazard, and looked rushed and unprofessional. The paint covering the wall was a light minimal coat, again, like rush a job to get it completed. Overall the home is nice, but I don't think there is quality built in. I would have preferred to wait a few more months to close on the house, and have a higher quality finish at the end.

less than satisfactory workmanship, slow to fix warranty items

1.) We purchased a wooded lot only to find out it is actually a swamp land swarming with mosquitos. I’ve brought it up to our supertendent and been told nothing can be done. 2.) Beazer should hire a new trim contractor. Our baseboards and shoe molding were very poorly installed. Our boards running up the sides of our basement stairs had gouges and nails hammered over sideways. 3.) It took 7 months from the time we signed our agreement until we moved in. We were told it would take 4-5 months. All the while we were seeing contractors working on spec homes down the street while our home sat idle. All-in-all a frustrating building experience. ... More

I love my floorplan and home, but definitely would not recommend building when closing will fall near the end of their fiscal year (September) ... priority is given to their quota and the building process is rushed (and perhaps compromised) to meet it. Attention to detail of the finished product is sacrificed leaving the homeowner with a list of disappointments which are frustrating to try to get resolved.
