Bloomfield Homes Reviews

Once I signed contract I never heard from anyone

Overall the home is good. However it does not appear that much attention was given to details. The finishing touches appears sloppy. For example there are stickers on all the outlets, the plater was not cut correctly where the plaster and floor of the garage meets, their is paint on surfaces where it shouldn't be.

Tommy was my sales rep in the Treesfarm phase (Desoto TX) and he was horrible. He was rarely available, made a critical mistake with my paper work, and a flat out liar. He constantly boasted about how my home was his 7th sale that week. He was fortunate because this subdivision just happens to be about 50k to 70k cheaper with double the land than any of the other phases in the vicinity. Therefore he felt like he didn't have to do any real work. I'm a home inspector and I have inspected at least 300 plus Bloomfield Homes in my career. This is the reason I purchased. I love what I've seen and other phases. But Tommy is the worst. He needs to be held accountable. And I will definitely be making a call to the corporate office. ... More

Make sure you know exactly. What color you won't inside and outside your house done, Because they will not change the color later. Be certain on what you want done up front., Because there will be no changes later.

I love my house! The few things I found that needed fixed in the first month they were very responsive to. A few hiccups in the contracting phase and with getting keys when I closed, but overall it was good. Bloomfield builds the best homes! I wouldn’t want another builder. Thanks for everything.

The 3rd party contractors were sloppy. There didn’t seem to be much care of respect for the property they worked on. Sod was not laid the best. Paint was literally everywhere from door to door. Gouges in the floors. Stains in my sink and tubs. Kitchen counter tops were stained. For such high cost high quality homes, the 3rd party contractors should be better. The lack of wi-fi capable products in 2022 is also a bit shocking. There should be at the very least an option to install smart devices without having to be restricted to one company.

The home is beautiful and we are overall pleased, just a few workman and build things that we missed that could have been done a little better.

If you decide to have Bloomfield to build your house make sure you continuously stay on top of the process because any hesitations can lead to something not going according to the plan of your home. I was supposed to have some recessed lights installed in my living room and because I took it for granted that they would install them, they did not get installed. I talked to the builder about it and they said it was nothing they could do about it because my ceiling was to high for them to go back and install the lights. In addition, the workers were urinating on the floor of my new home and I had to bring that to the project managers attention, but he acted like it was a every day occurrence so get it over it. My house turned out good, but I had to bird dog the builder until the end. If I had to do it all over again I would use another builder just because of all of what I went through to get the house built. ... More

Overall, the home was here as we agreed, but there a lot of things that could have been done better. Issue: Certain things were decided for us that could have taken our input. Discussion: While this is not a total custom build, a few preferences decisions could have been requested to make the experience better. For example, the builders mistakenly put an outlet on our fire place. Mistakes happen, which is okay, but they could have asked us if we wanted it or not. Instead, they just left it there and wired the entire living area through it. Recommendation: Indy should pose more questions throughout the process. Issue: Indy failed to communicate where the gas lines were in the neighborhood Discussion: In the model home, we saw a gas stove and found it that it only came with the deluxe kitchen. So we added a deluxe kitchen thinking we would get a gas stove only to find out a week before closing we don't have gas. Recommendation: Clearly communicate where the gasoline are so that buyers know what their investment consist of. Issue: Indy does not use her assistant Discussion: it seems as if Indy is the only one who knows anything. The assistants are not trained or informed on the process. Recommendation: Indy needs time to train her team so that they provide value to the process. Issue: There is not a deliberate effort to strive for EXCELLENCE. Discussion: The home is built with the EXPECTATION that several things will be wrong, instead of trying to get things right the first time. I am sure this is simply part of the business model, but that should be communicated early on. Issue: Out of state home buyers Discussion: We were out of state home buyers and was not able to be here for the entire process. Other home builders have several meetings with owners to ensure things are build to the desires. Bloomfield did not have ANY meetings between us selecting upgrades and the walk through. That should not be the case. The entire process takes about 10-12 months so things could change from the start to closing. Recommendation: (1) Bloomfield should have at least two more meetings before the foundation is poured and before dry Wall goes up. Recommendation: (2) if you are out of state, You need someone who really knows your house to check up on everything on a weekly basis. High Point: Home Warranty Discussion: It is EXCELLENT!!! But it has to be because the house is not built to be excellent. David even allowed me to use it just to get someone to come out to look at our grass. Thanks David. Recommendation: Use the home warranty for everything. High Point: Indy allowing Disabled Veterans Benefit Discussion: My favorite interaction with Indy is when she ensured that I got all the savings because I was a veteran. I'm not sure what authority she has, but everything went according to what she said. Thank you Indy. 3 of 5 stars. No one is unprofessional, but at the same time, things could be so much better if customer service was the goal. ... More

I do not wish to do so at this time.

Chris and Brandon were great to work with. Some materials Bloomfield uses are not equal in quality to the price of the home.

My home buying experience was not how I thought it would be.after we closed and moved in we found a lot of things that needed to be addressed.but should have been addressed before we moved in.we are still finding things that needs to be addressed.they are being addressed but slowly. It’s just that a home that cost this much money for us everything inside and out should have been more on point. I know some things might be found,but not this much.

I purchased at the beginning of the pandemic and dealt with supply shortages, etc. so purchasing now may be quite a different experience, but it was frustrating when you're expecting 8-10 months for a build and it takes 17 months. Overall at the end I am happy with the house and since I locked in my price before the surge in prices ended up with a good equity in my house.

It is really hard to give a review on a product that for one reason or another was delayed 6 months. However, I would like to give 5 stars to Travis for his great job and effort to try to finish our home despite all the external issues. I’ve been in the house for a month and I’m really enjoying the house. There are a few minor issues that Bloomfield needs to come back to fix but overall I love my house.

Mike is good pretty good at communication but overall not the best especially with the finance company.. The part of contract that we had to sale our home by roofing stage. But the Bloomfield is an estimate which essentially could have put us homeless with the estimate on Bloomfield’s side. We ended up purchasing a home which we had no choices. The plumbing line had to be worked on x2 in the first week due to construction debris not being taken care of. The water to the dishwasher was not connected. The fence is bars showing one side then not on then showing then not no consistency with it. Just grateful we are finally in a home. ... More

Matt and Sam were great. Our one issue was a couple promises were either missed or miscommunicated. We were told we could get the cabinet handles (in their sample showroom) but when we closed on the house the cabinets had no handles. We were then told they don’t normally add handles. We were not told that initially and it added to the feeling that we were told things at the beginning in order to get the sale. We were also promised a half glass back door that never happened. Post close, we’ve seen multiple social media posts from our neighbors that they’ve had similar experiences.

Cabinets in kitchen and bathroom not thought out very well. Existing patio not large enough.

I feel that there were corners cut when building this home. I can’t name ALL of them because there are so many. My thought is they had new workers that were starting out and my house was the test dummy. I would have liked my home to be of the same quality as the model home but one all the issues are fixed this could be a good home.

We went into contract mid-build. Framing and roof were completed. The builder was not very flexible with changing design choices. It was very much take it or leave it. There were many things that could have been changed such as fixtures, faucets and door hardware that we were not allowed to change. In fact after just two change requests we were told to stop asking. I get that it was a seller's market but we had to spend nearly $20K after closing on items that the builder could have let us change mid-build. Super frustrating and I won't be buying another Bloomfield Home.

So the over home buying experience will come in various way. Closing was great as it was quick and well organize with all documents. The financing part was the headache and will remain anonymous on who we started out with but it was confusing, unclear and at time very degrading in communications. The lender we closed with made it clear and less stress with clearer numbers that made sense in my decision to change lender. The staff that works directly with Bloomfield are great, straightforward and to the point and I appreciate each staff I have met on this journey. I don’t have a great review for the value as the appraisal came out lower therm the listing price of the home and Bloomfield did reject the appraisal amount which was disappointing but we still made the decision to move forward as we really do love the home we are in and the community we reside in. As far as the staff with any issues we have notice within the structure or material of the home, the team has for the most part been prompt with response/assistance. ... More

We like our home & location.

This was my 1st and only home buying experience, so I have nothing to compare this to. This review is just my opinion. In general they did meet my expectations. They are definitely not perfectionists. I have heard horror stories about other builders, my experience was overall/generally positive.

Channa was great. She was always available, the job site was clean and any issues were addressed. I'd work again with Channa any day. I'd never work with Patrice again, and the selection process was chaotic and ridiculous. I've turned numerous friends and family away from Bloomfield at union park because of Patrice.

Poor Design center. Too small and cluttered. Design center in Frisco was in upstairs room. Difficult/impossible for Handicap clients to access.

We have had a number of issues with our new home. These have ranged from a massive leak in the utility room that damaged the drywall to unfinished areas under the sink. Our latest issue seems to be another water leak that has led to a water bill for 25,000 gallons of water and what seems to be a loose screw or wire that was in the garbage disposal (our first use of it was greeted by a sharp metallic sound). We enjoy the home and it looks nice, but it just feels like a never ending chain of problems that we have to deal with. My wife felt so very good about the home when we bought it. She was excited and it felt like it would be some place she could make her own and that she would enjoy. As of now, I feel she has become a bit exasperated with the home. There just seems to be always another issue that is going on as we continue to live here (its been about 2-3 weeks that we have lived in our home now). ... More
