Bloomfield Homes Reviews

I am overall happy with our experience with Bloomfield Homes. We decided to select them since were willing to make a few custom changes for us, but it was unfortunate those items had to be managed by myself! Our so called project manager dropped the ball so many times I had to ask Community Manager who is really managing this construction. We selected the Carolina IV floor plan, but here are our top 10 items for future buyers to consider (especially those in master bathroom): 1) The entry rotunda lacks a closet if that’s important feature. 2) The master bathroom lacks a linen closet and were surprised the master walk-in closet did not have shelves built for that purpose. 3) The master bathroom had just one small towel bar and really no other location to install a second one. 4) The master bathroom shower entrance: Really don’t like the step down possible trip hazard as stubbed toe a few times now. 5) The kitchen cabinet toe kick pocket is not tall enough for vacuum to fit as it appears the cabinet height wasn’t raised up to accommodate the ceramic tile thickness! 6) The 2nd and 3rd bathrooms cabinets lack an upper drawer. 7) We learned at closing that gutters (on a 580k house) were an opinion but no one mentioned that when we were specifying options and models showed them included. 8) The only possible storage room in this floor plan is unfinished and lacks insulation so our laundry room water lines routed through this area froze in cold weather. Also there was a lot of trash left in this room as well which I requested prior to closing. 9) The 3rd stall garage we added is not long enough to fit a full size truck as promised since the water heater platform was relocated from spot in main garage there without our approval. We had requested builder furnish a tank-less unit or moved to spot in laundry room but were assured there would still have adequate space. 10) Requested a wider backyard gate (8 foot) but actually got a useable 7.5 foot opening so thanks for not following through on that before closing. The last item item I’d like to mention were the numerous construction delays as we watched the spec homes get priority over contracted homes. We heard the same comments from several neighbors since we moved in December. A spec home like our floor plan still sits empty but has been move-in ready two months before our closing date. The builder claims it’s been sold so many times that I don’t believe it anymore. Hopefully someone within Bloomfield corporate will reach out to me for further details. ... More

Buyer pay close attention. When they tell you to point out any issues, DO IT. The builder is not checking any quality. They just let to contractors do as they please. I was surprised at what we had to point out to be fixed. I thought obvious issues would be dealt with but no. They use the cheapest constructed cabinets I’ve ever seen. Zero quality. Zero pride in workmanship. Instead of making cabinet seems fit they just stick trim over the seam. Cabinet guides were bent and not parallel. Obvious from the beginning. I kept being told everything would be taken care of. Now 1 month into occupancy and I have brand new cabinet drawer that bind up and jump the tracks. I expected better for a $500k plus home but was told by the supervisor these are production homes. That’s what you get. Overall a nice home but do not give a non refundable deposit. Bad decision on my part. ... More

The buying process was almost flawless. Unfortunately, two of the tubs placed in my home has stains in them as well as there are some areas that looks to be rushed jobs. There was something wasted on my carpet and a couple of panels/baseboards broken and installed.

It is a very tough buyers market. Finding a home was very difficult. Leslie and her team were able to make buying a home a reality. Thanks.

We are still waiting on the sliding glass door and screen door to be replaced / repaired. The sod has never been rolled and this was requested verbally.

We love how Bloomfield homes are unique in their designs and they work with you to find the best home for you and your family!

The workman ship of the house was not great and it has not been great trying to get them to come fix it.

You should Get better contractors.I feel the painters and flooring contractors were losey could have done a better job, , also issues with plumbing, had issues with cabinets uneven. The inspector should have picked up on alot of issues of peoples homes. Your style of homes are too nice not to be done properly.

We knew going into this homebuying process that we were in a pandemic. We asked from the very beginning about any foreseeable delays. I understand that the builder cannot control supplies and things like that but this process was very difficult on me and my husband. We knew we had to sell our current home before we close because we did not have a contingency sale. So that went without a hitch. We moved six times before we were able to finally move into our home. The home is beautiful we’ve had a lot of minor workmanship issues. Bloomfield staff has been very responsive and taking care of those small items. So I don’t want to be unfair to Bloomfield for our heartbreak in the home buying process. I think that the sales person in the office needs to be more personable and compassionate when difficult situations arise. Stating to people “ That’s construction” is insensitive and unprofessional. Overall, we are very pleased with our home and so far the neighborhood has been nice and quite. Chris was always responsive, helpful, and professional. He was the best part of the process. When it was time to close First American did a very good job in communicating and the closing. ... More

The biggest problem was that the supervisor was not here and that we had to point out problems that the working contractors were causing. We had a water leak after the stud walls were in place that never got address until we had to call it in to get fixed. We had 3 times they had to cut holes in the sheet rock to work on electric plugs that didn’t work. Each time fixing them and then having to go back and cut them out again. We still have a electric plug out side the back porch that doesn’t work. We had to have the framing contractor come back and place ceiling hangers where trusses were installed that were never put in place. I think a lot of these problems would not have occurred if there was a supervisor on hand to correct these mistakes. ... More

Although my home is beautiful I had several issues that I was concerned about that were incomplete several things had to be changed several things had to be corrected and there is still a lot of problems with the building of my home but I plan to file a request to have each and every item fixed and hopefully they will all be fixed thank you

Since materials and the housing market went through the roof, customer service, holding up to agreements and finishing build errors have gone straight downhill. It’s sad to realize 3 months in and just a few things left to correct and complete, I and my new home no longer seem matter to Bloomfield. I understand the market has shaken builders and buyers, but customer service should never be sacrificed in any industry or market.

Overall, pretty solid experience. However, we were delayed a lot, understandably due to the pandemic. But with the extra time, we expected better workmanship. A few issues that we are just not pleased with such as several cracks in the driveway already, drywall and texture eye sores, few areas that needed cocking, cracked tile pieces in the shower, “lumpy” landscaping, a giant hole in my front yard that still hasn’t been filled, and several “hollow” spots on the floors... we’ve addressed a few issues but at this point it just feels like we are bugging Michael and we feel we shouldn’t have to be begging for work to be completed. Michael has been great, but it feels like he’s just been too busy. ... More

The home was built in the time frame stated by the sales person and was kept abreast of its progress. I feel that issues with fixing items that need to be corrected after closing moved slower than normal. We paid extra for ceramic floor upgrade but floor was not protected during interior painting and has areas of paint smudge that are hard to clean. I feel that the workers need to be better supervised to take care of the minor details.

I am happy with my new house, One thing I would like to mention here that the sales manager or construction manager should spend more time with the buyer to explain all items in the house to avoid extra costs to the buyer in case if the buyer wants to modify or change something in the house after closing...Many buyers are not professional in house construction and design. Please address this poin to the associated team

The allure of the home was that in the neighborhood there were various elevations. The homes were built in different styles versus cookie cutter homes. I love the bar, atty of different stone and brick combinations in the elevations floor plans. Unfortunately; I discovered lots of defects some have been properly repaired in a few. I’m still waiting on. When I did my exterior walk on the home, I don’t recall seeing the hairline cracks on both sides of the home. When I moved in, I noticed the cracks had been filled in with some type of silicone. I will give home some more time to settle and would like exterior cracks to be replaced with brick. A used faucet was put on the kitchen sink and outdoors a couple of weeks after they moved in a Spicket knob broke off, and I had to shut off my water. The plumber came out. Mason has been great with communicating and getting contractors out to repair some of the things, but I don’t know who knew about the cracks but someone did because they were repaired with silicone. Thank you for this opportunity for me to give feedback! ... More

Loving most everything about our home. The lack of timeliness of getting things repaired or looked at has been somewhat disappointing and unexpected.

I recently purchased a home from Bloomfield Homes at Hulen Trail, and overall, I found that the houses are generally in line with what you pay for. The prices are reasonable, and the community manager was a standout in terms of being great and very responsive. I always felt like I could count on her for assistance. During the closing process, we encountered some issues with the quality of the home. However, the community manager was extremely helpful in organizing and addressing all of these problems. Her support made the process much smoother and alleviated some of the stress. That being said, I must mention that the overall quality of workmanship falls short of European standards, or even what one might consider average. While the houses have a nice interior and spaciousness, it's important to be aware of several flaws that I came across. For starters, there were strange spots on the ceiling, and one of the windows was still crooked, indicating poor assembly quality. The exterior finishing also had multiple gaps and peeling materials, which was disappointing. Additionally, the tiles were left dirty with paint stains that I've struggled to remove. Even the patio tiles were improperly installed and prone to breaking. The silicone sealing around the garage gate was unfinished, and the fence was noticeably crooked, indicating a lack of attention during construction. Furthermore, I would like to add that the kitchen cabinet painting was also neglected. The fronts of the cabinets had two different tones of gray, and it was evident that some of them were not painted well. This inconsistency in color and the poor paint job was disappointing, considering the importance of the kitchen as a focal point in a home. It's crucial for Bloomfield Homes to pay closer attention to the details, especially when it comes to aspects as prominent as the kitchen cabinets. Ensuring a consistent and high-quality paint finish would greatly enhance the overall appeal and value of the homes they build. It's worth mentioning that you can report these issues to their warranty, and it's understandable that they work with multiple contractors. However, it's crucial for the quality standards to improve, as these flaws are noticeable and can be frustrating for homeowners. Despite these shortcomings, I want to emphasize that Bloomfield Homes at Hulen Trail is still better than other builders in the neighborhood. While there are areas that need improvement, the overall experience and value for the price paid were satisfactory. ... More

Our buying experience was alright. We originally wanted to purchase a different house, toured it, and were ready to make an offer when one of the assistants said they were holding it for a couple who wanted to come look at it later. We toured another home and liked it and decided to put an offer in on it. Of course the other home fell through shortly after we signed papers for this home. Overall quality is mediocre. Finding a few blue tape items were never touched, towel holders falling out of wall, closet doors warped, areas they never touched up on with paint, paint freckles all over the tile, the list goes on. All of these are minor, but makes me question what we’ll find later down the road. ... More

This was an experience to never be forgotten really. very nerve racking and they tried to keep us up to date as possible but yea, very very stressful. but that the nature of new construct after the pandemic.

My wife and I looked at homes from several builders and Bloomfield appeared to be in the top 2 builders for quality from what we could see. It’s hard to judge because when we bought our house, the marker was bad….supplies were low and costs were continuing to go up. However, regardless of costs/market, there’s still some things on our new house that make you go “hmm….is this just cheap or did someone make a mistake?” Overall we are pleased. We like that Bloomfield put a drip system around the foundation as part of their new home packages, which will keep the foundation rock solid for years. That’s a big peace of mind. ... More

Site management continually says That’s shaykh you signed on the contract and do not understand technical issues surrounding the issue between us what electrical. Contractor and charters service on two story homes. Staff provided contact list for services contacts that was out of date and had to be corrected. Poor attention to detail

Have to stay on top of things, caught a few errors

The value of the home is amazing. Great choices and many standard options are considered upgrades with other builders. The process had its ups and downs. There were many moments where communication lacked as to delays during the build and what was to be expected. The workmanship disappoints a bit as it seems they rely to much on the warranty. A lot of small issues that add up that should have been caught before closing if they just slowed down and checked the work thoroughly. Even after the pre closing walk through where we pointed out issues, many of them were not corrected. Overall, happy with the home and the quality. Just slightly disappointed in how little pride seemed to be taken with the workmanship of the job. But would definitely recommend, due to value and how beautiful the homes are. ... More

The overall experience was great. Follow up on issues found after the walkthrough and inspection was not the best. Compared to the other builders in the area, this would be my first choice.
