Beazer Homes Reviews in Houston, TX

Initially working with Corey, but then moved over to work with Bryan. Corey said a couple of things to get us interested and excited that, simply put, were lies. Only once we had closed and moved in, did one of those things become apparent (It would have been impossible to know earlier). The other thing I asked about, was told it was incorrect by Bryan, and I decided to proceed knowingly. It's frustrating not to be able to take people at face value, so if you're going to buy a home then I suggest you triple check everything, then follow up in and get a response in writing. I did feel rushed to get the sale done, and then if not for my tenacious character then I would have been left alone and not updated once I had given them my earnest money. Bryan however is superb, he is genuine and really helped me make a decision on the home, and fought to get things approved, as well as giving honest advice. ... More

We bought our first home with great expectations and an abundance of nervous energy. While the pre closing experience was really impressive, the post closing thus far has been a challenge. Several issues observed under warranty and highlighted have slipped thru the cracks and just getting captured. Overall attention to detail also comes up short in a few places. Craftsmanship can be improved vastly.

The home itself is nice but the finishing touches not so much. In some spots the baseboards are awful, grout in the showers seem to be painted and one out of the three pendent lighting in our kitchen is a wrong shade of color and another cracked. We’ve been in our home for a little over a month and already had a/c problems and one of the toilets doesn’t work properly. We’re a little disappointed because the quality doesn’t compare to the price of the home and location.

The Communication between the sales and project supervisor with myself is very poor they don't respond to things promptly.

Several items not revealed from Beazer during the building process. I only found out because of others building in the neighborhood. They do not provide a list of all standard features for your home design, and then are not forthcoming with what your upgrade options are (e.g. 8' interior doors, bricking on back patio concrete, etc.). Basically they give you a 20 page list of all upgradable fixtures and then you have to figure out what is already upgraded in your model vs. what you can upgrade to; its a basic "highlight" activity put on the buyer. Closing was so disorganized that it basically ruined what should have been a very exciting day! Notary showed up an hour and a half late, funding took nearly two hours, Beazer did not include the plot plan that is required to be signed by the purchaser in the closing documentation so a delay of nearly an hour, wasn't even offered to take a photo of the purchase or signing. Nearly $400k and without even the basic standard celebration or captured memory by the Beazer-chosen Title company. It was a wait, sign, wait, wait, wait, "here ya go", leave exercise. 35 - 40 Beazer closings a week at that location (per the Title company) and complete disorganization. A gentleman buying 1 street over from me was there for 3 hours waiting on funding just to find out that it had funded earlier in the day. He was equally upset. Both of my neighbors finished building before me and when they closed they were welcomed home with celebration signs in the yard from Beazer. Me? Nothing. May seem petty, but a HUGE investment for a single female and without even a word from the receiving builder. You're welcome, Beazer. (It truly is the little things when your making this type of investment) As for the home? LOVE IT! Well built. Detailed. Beautiful! ... More

Overall our home is very nice, but I feel like it was not finished out well. The trim/caulk/paint are shoddy at best and it feels like the guys finishing the house rushed as much as possible. We had issues with things not being hung straight even after multiple attempts to hang them.

The quality of the materials and workmanship have a lot to be desired. Caulking on the base boards was over filled and not cleaned up the way it should have been. The edges of the tile that had been cut in the bathroom did not match the tile because it was red in the middle. It should have been grouted or painted! The doors were not squared up. The paint was thin and cheap. Oh by the way I have 30 years as a contractor. Homes today are slapped together fast and sold even faster!

All I have to say is above in review title

The care that went into building the home was not up to our expectations. We had to many issues with trash and food being left in the walls of the home when building. Once we moved in, we started to notice that nothing was painted on the underside. Window seals, ledges, counter areas. The caulking in every room must be re done, it is all pulling away and creating gaps. The AC does not cool all the rooms the same. Three room are much warmer that the master bedroom or the living room. The issue with having to have a pool pass, and then having to drive a hour away to go get it one is beyond aggravating. We love our home even with its issues we are having to deal with, but I think I would have shopped around more if I had to do it all again. ... More

We purchased the home for fast buy. We completely love the floor plan of the home we are not completely satisfied with the quality. Such as, the dish washer is awful, it is cheap and doesnt clean the dishes. I actually had mold on the dishes from the moisture in the dish washer. The bathroom shower rod is so cheap it fell apart when we tried to use it and we had to replace it. One of the front windows is not sealed correctly, when the weather is windy you can actually hear and feel air blowing in thought the closed window. In the kitchen we disnt received sink stoppers, the glass doors's screws are exposed. Shelves are missing in the kitchen cabinets, l know these items may be small compared to some but for over $300,000 you would think the small things would be important to the builder. As of right now l have to live with the small issues. But l am sure in the future l will think twice about purchasing another home from Beazer homes ... More

There are already places outside that need to be repainted because they weren't prepped well. Particle board cabinetry is showing problems within a couple of weeks. They give no choice in landscaping, so we've had to pull ugly plants to put in nice ones.

We love our home and it will be perfect with a few adjustments but do think several quality checkpoints were missed along the way thus creating a very stressful close process. Day of close there was sour trash left in the garage that attracted roaches and left a smell that took several days to rid. The paint job is the worst I've ever seen on a house. Several repairs had to be done after close so we could close on time. Our sales Rep has always been great but the build process could have gone smoother had projects been handled better.

Let me say don't watch them build the house and what you don't know won't hurt you.

The customer service was good till I moved into the home. The builder made promises of assistance with any questions I had when first moving in and none of those promises were followed up on even after I contacted them.

Initially, I was convinced that this home would live up to my expectations. However, during the walkthroughs, I began to notice the imperfections and details that I had overlooked. Now that I’m moved in, I’m still facing issues with the craftsman ship, as well as the poor paint job. I can’t recommend a Beazer home to anyone!

If I'm reviewing the homebuying experience and not the house, this is between 1.5-2 stars. First of all, from October through February we were told we'd be closing mid-May, and then all of a sudden in February the closing date gets changed to March. This late notice resulted in us having to spend an extra $3000 on rent because we had to make a decision on extending our lease before the new close date was communicated. And then, as we are a few weeks from closing apparently our Beazer rep left the company. Did anyone from Beazer pick up our account in his place? Of course not. Meaning we never got any of the introduction packets or instructions that were supposed to be delivered before closing until we had to request them ourselves several weeks after closing. I'm going to advise anyone who works with Beazer in the future to do so through a real estate agent, because as a first-time home buyer Beazer does a terrible job. ... More

We had a frustrating experience with Beazer Homes during the purchase of our new home. Despite some positive interactions with the construction manager, several issues have left a sour taste. Unresolved Issues 1. Unauthorized changes to contract: A random broker's name was added to our contract without our consent. Beazer then removed their own name and re-added it at closing, which felt deceptive. 2. _Restrictions on customizations_: We were not allowed to make changes to the home, such as paint or carpet upgrades. 3. _Poor yard conditions_: The backyard is prone to flooding, has poor drainage, and is infested with mosquitoes. 4. _Lack of cabinets_: The home was designed without cabinets near the fireplace, which was a significant oversight. 5. _Delays_: The home was completed a month late, which caused inconvenience and stress. 6. _Outdated appliances_: 1. _Water heaters_: The water heaters are outdated and cannot connect to the internet for monitoring and control. 2. _HVAC thermostats_: The thermostats were outdated and needed immediate replacement. 7. _Limited storage space_: The home has very little storage space, making it difficult to organize and maintain. 8. _Subpar security system_: The Honeywell alarm controller is poorly designed, difficult to use, and essentially worthless. Positive Experience with Construction Manager 1. _Help with blind issue_: The construction manager intervened to resolve an issue with Beazer trying to renege on providing blinds. 2. Efforts to make things right: The construction manager worked diligently to address issues and make things right after the home was completed. Overall, our experience with Beazer Homes was frustrating, particularly given the high cost of the home and the numerous issues we've encountered. ... More

They are very slow about getting things done. Also, they can improve their Customer Service. I was not pleased with Beazer homes builder.

Moved in and saw some things were missed with the final walk through. Additionally, some things were completed after walk through which left a mess. No one has cleaned it up. My yard is a mucky swamp with green slime destroying the shared fence. Some contractor walked through paint after final walk through and it’s all over my pristine sidewalk and entryway. Everyone is very attentive until after closing. No returned emails regarding repairs. No follow-up for email requests over 1 month. No response, no reply. No call, no follow-up. Now I have extra expenses to replace the rotting shared fence and also pest control for the over abundance of mosquitos breeding in my yard-swamp. ... More

Product overall is highly over priced! Right now a/c is not working correctly. Called a/c service several times since it is on warranty and get the same old story each time. Door knobs came off the first day of move-in, very little water pressure upstairs, no towel racks installed (had to call on this too) Seems like this condo has more problems than what it is worth! Have told many friends and family to steer clear of Beazer!

Since I moved in it’s been one headache after another. After a week and a half of sticking bandaids on things after I moved in the entire hot water heater needed replacing, as well as a breaker and toilet. My lights constantly flicker and my ceiling fan makes noises and wakes me up at night. The service providers Beazer recommends are awful as well. I have not had 1 week of uninterrupted internet service since I moved in. I work from home. The energy savings they were so proud to sell to me have not materialized even a little. I feel like I was taken for a ride.

Do not trust that appliances will work just because they look new. Run each appliance through a complete cycle (especially washer & dryer) or to maximum capacity, as applicable. Damage to unit between closing and taking possession. Beazer makes it nearly impossible to deal with these issues. So many other complaints, but to be brief, do not expect service after the sale on warranties and other issues. Even though Beazer controls the HOA Board and hired a management firm, they will take no responsibility if there are typical but ignored HOA issues like pest infestation, access to units, important safety communications to homeowners, to name a few. ...

I didn’t enjoy my home buying experience because the building of my home was not a great experience for me. I feel that the higher management should check more on the building of the homes so that some of these many mistakes can be alleviated. I was given 4 different Construction managers and I don’t think that helped my process. I would also suggest that if your representative completing the contract doesn’t know anything about how long it will take that they shouldn’t give any of that information. My home had issues that needed to be addressed and if someone was working behind the construction working they may have caught those items. I also suggest that the workers are watched I found several beer can n bottles at my site and I don’t think that’s a great look, actually my run had to be repaired and when they removed the tub skirtlet I found beer cans where they just sealed them into my home. I wasn’t very happy to see that so now I wonder what else could be inside my walls if that was until my tub. I am happy with my home but the process to get to the closing was not an enjoyable one. ... More

We bought the condo because its new construction and in a good location, but it's not worth it to experience poor service and construction workmanship! First, the sale person Alej was only nice before contract signed, then he continued "threating" me that if i terminate the contract, I will loose my earnest money! There were leaks on the ceiling and uneven patches on the drywalls that were supposed to be done but since assigned project manager was out for personal leaves for 1 1/2 week, I have to wait until he gets back because no one at Beazer Homes takes over the responsibility. Two weeks after we closed, the leaks on the ceiling happens again in the same area. Obviously, they didn't check & repair on the issue the first time, just patched up the damage area. At this point, they still giving me the running around when it can be done. The excuse was they need to get permit from the City of Houston office to go up on the roof. by the 2nd week, i filed a claim with the Warranty Service (3rd party) and got a call from the manager. He then told me, it's the building interior problem, they don't need permit to from the city. Beside the leaks problem, the walls and doors are painted badly, strokes were uneven. The paints in the hallway was also awful. Very poor workmanship for a $390,000-$550,000 price! ... More

This home was poorly built and was lazily finished, so many spots missing caulk and paint. Hard to get a hold of anyone to get it fixed. My bathroom mirror was installed incorrectly and randomly came crashing down one day, luckily my pets weren’t in there.
