Bloomfield Homes Reviews

Not happy with the quality of workmanship and very long wait time without any reasonable explanation. There are multiple small issue all around the house which makes you feel like buying a used home rather than the brand new house. We did not want them to delay the closing to address those little issues, due to our existing extended lease expiration date. I know, there is warranty available to address those issues which is very nice to know but as I said,I would expect them to be done properly at first place in a BRAND NEW home. Also, I have observed, some certain plans are built by different contractors and they are built way faster than some homes.I know multiple people that has closed 2-3 earlier than us ,even though they have signed the contract 2-3 months later than us which is not fair and that should be planned properly. ...

Attention to basic detail is lacking There were expected construction delays in building the home and now that we are in the home, we are noticing multiple issues most small. There were statements made prior to closing, specifically to the SEER rating on the HVAC that were unsubstantiated. we were told the home was supposed to have a 16 SEER unit and were told they weren't available, i checked with the manufacturer to find this did not appear to be true. Instead, Bloomfield made the statement that we would get a 15 SEER 'equivalent' unit. I asked for documentation on how equivalency was calculated Bloomfield was unwilling or unable to supply the information I requested. The results were Bloomfield installed a 14 SEER unit and made no adjustment to the cost. With each milestone of the construction process there were obvious cost saving adjustments and poor workmanship. In my opinion the framing was sloppy, and, in some cases, a questionable and unprofessional patchwork was done to correct these issues. The roofing was poorly done. Roof line edges are crooked, flashing was done incorrectly and now 6 weeks into our occupancy the roof is leaking. there were multiple adjustments we needed to point out to Bloomfield to have them corrected before it was too late. some corrections were: - the color and type of stone on the house. - grout colors - electrical light placements - they installed a breaker box with potential recall issues. i am required to follow-up with an electrician to ensure the box is safe. - placement of the irrigation system back-flow valve. - Placement of the side gate - caulking i took pictures of all these issues so they are well documented. i would be surprised if this review appears on the Bloomfield web site. ...

While the price was reasonable and the communication with sales person was good, the overall quality and craftsmanship of the home was very poor. We are still dealing with plumbing issues and things that should have been taken care of prior to closing. Lastly, wiring in attic is all over and not neatly attached to rafters or in a conduit.

Quality of materials and hardware is low. Build quality is below average.

If someone from Bloomfield that has authority sees this, I've written you as well. Where was the project manager? I brought up several concerns that were flat out ignored (work wasn't completed properly for warranty purposes). We did a punch list walk through 2 weeks before closing and half the items weren't completed. Had to get a painter over to at least handle all the baseboard touch ups from the wood flooring because I didn't have time to mess with delaying movers and dealing with having all furniture shifted to get to it. Other items, like patching missing trim, was left undone. Overall quality is as expected from a mass builder, but several items are unacceptable. I more or less had to manage my home build due to the lack of presence from the PM. And I've been stuck with the finish out as the work was dumped on the warranty guy (who's actually been extremely helpful), but I'm now having to coordinate my days and time to let people in to finish work that should have been finished before we moved. These are not warranty items, but punch list items. I feel a 5% of sale compensation for having to act as the project manager is more than fair. Other than that, the house was build fast and overall seems to be holding up ok (other than the finish quality on the solid wood floors). We've been in about 3 months now. ... More

Bloomfield is an ok builder for the price.

All in all, I feel like the home is a well-built home. However, the attention to the detail work is lacking - trim work, paint, caulking, granite cuts & fireplace stone.

The Bloomfield brand extremely over rated but homes have some good qualities,

Upon the closing of our home, there where some final items that where supposedly done that was not. The under laying of our kitchen cabinets where not painted all the way through. The mantle on the fireplace is still leaning to this day. The quality of the paint was disturbing because it easily stains and wipes off easily. The landscaping is full of rocks and rebar was left around the backyard and a huge one in the ground on the side of the house. The chalking around the wood is expanding, and the house wasn’t cleaned on our closing day and the lawn was not cut. I was very disappointed with that because of the expectations we had and the high recommendations we had in choosing our home. ... More

The overall buying experience I can say was pretty seamless but a lot of that I contribute to our real estate agent, she is amazing, keeps us at arms lengths of issues that arise. She kept us at ease the whole time. Reassured us that it was all going to work out. Bloomfield was always nice and all but definitely once we got in the home, it took 2 weeks to get our pool key, took over a month to get the people to come out for the security system and that customer service was horrible and to be honest it was disappointing that Bloomfield only provides a BASIC security system, no camera on the door or anything of that nature. Then we have had quite a few people come out and fix things that were wrong with the house, still waiting on a painter to come out and paint something in the master and in the kitchen. The quality of the home is ok, the walls are super thin, you can hear things going on in other rooms so well but we love our house in all so THANK YOU for the opportunity to have a nice, brand new home! ...

Immediately off to a bad start when the water line was in the middle of the closet floor and had to be rerouted. Workers were not careful to protect the work of others. Brand new cabinets and counters had paint from painters not bothering to cover them before painting. Painters cleaned up in the brand new sink leaving paint and scratches. Someone used the microwave and got sauce all over the inside and left it dirty. Workers would leave trash like food wrappers and spilled food on the floors and counters. Workers made holes for ducts in the wrong places which led to an immediate need for a roof repair. Another vent went straight through the kitchen ceiling and had to be removed and rerouted, followed by a ceiling repair. The electricians didn’t hit their targets either. An extra switch added so we could turn out lights in the bedroom without getting out of bed, was placed no where near where the bed goes, so we still have to get out of bed. Cabinets were installed with a drawer that didn’t fit so paint was damaged. Another cabinet had a crack and was left for us to find the problem instead of dealing with it. Brick work is decent but with some really wide patches of mortar in some places. Also, mortar was dropped and left on patios and now patios look dirty because they didn’t bother cleaning up after themselves. Damage to trim both inside and outside was not patched, just simply painted over. Tile floor could be smoother. Lots of high and low tiles. Grout was sloppy. Holes in grout and grout left on tile surface. Also, even though tile people covered with cardboard to protect, cleaner removed it prematurely and painters got paint overspray everywhere during touch up’s. Shower glass installed wrong left us with a leak. There is more but you should get the idea. All this is bad enough but the site foreman didn’t catch anything on his own. We had to point out the problems along the way. He didn’t even do a blue tape walk of his own. The excuse was it was too cold during the cold spell this winter, but the house had heat. Both the foreman and sales person acted like we were just hard to please for wanting things to be right. They kept telling us everything would look great before closing but after more than a month we are still dealing with workers coming to do warranty work to correct the problems, which is a huge inconvenience. ...

I liked the pricing of the house compared to competitors and also the customization options. Things looked okay until I saw the insulation methodology. The thing I can't digest is the usage of cardboard for weather barrier which coupled with the workmanship which is mediocre. So I am gonna have to live in a noisy, leaky, uncomfortable house with potential mold and pest problems. I expect better quality house for paying over a half million dollar. They are also rubbing it in by using weather barrier with 1in foam for all the houses that are currently under construction aroind my house.

Front and back yard are uneven and garage and front concrete aren't correctly put in place

The buying experience was that good using there realtor to sell our home. The workmanship on the new does meet my expectations for a $400k home. Too many small issues paint, texture, imperfections etc. Masterbed closet too small no light in one of the closets make sure these thing looked at very close before you close refrigerator is offset dishwasher part fell off smh.

On the day of closing we saw many issues left unaddressed but it wasn’t admitted properly. Coming to the cleaning of the home we saw dirty fans, paint on carpet and also on the flooring and when we ask regarding those builder mentioned it is our perspective. Never excepted that answer. Finally we excepted a better look of our new home

My closing date was charged several times. Finally moved in with a lot of issues needing to be resolved. House plan is beautiful but craftsmanship is poor; paint stains all over, crooked wall lines, chipped concrete floors, etc.

Very little or no information has been provided during the construction stages. I feel like I paid an extra 25K comparatively with my neighbors who have closings upcoming. I don’t know why I got this price even after going through all the painful booking process in 2021 nov. old property manager doesn’t give any information or any incentives to any one. Very limited interior upgrades available comparatively with other builders. New property manager is complete opposite. I felt like I should have bought home in 2023 with new property manager.

Make sure you select the appliances and features yourself. I was shown a model house with a nicer look and appliances, but it's not what I got. The standard features are cheap.

We have been in our new home for about 6 weeks and we still have things that they promised to fix and we have sent them multiple emails with no response.

Zero builder quality checks on trades as house is built. Cheap plastic windows and siding. They let the city inspectors do the review for code and fix only what the inspectors require, versus what should be fixed per construction norm. They will not fix defects in phase but prefer to try to close and have it fixed by warranty if they agree. Sprinkler system PVC depth about 1-2 inches so it will freeze and break. Flower beds consist of unsecure stones just laid on top of the ground, and then clay placed inside the bed on top of original grass that was never removed. Beds are full of wood, rock and bricks. Sod is laid on unprepared soil on top of rocks, bricks, metal trim, or whatever trash collected during the build process with holes and lumps throughout on completion. Then they plop in the cheapest plants and trees available at the time that are not suited to our climate. You pay upfront for low quality work that will just cost you even more to later rip out and replace correctly. Then the same trades come by later to see if you want to pay to redo the work right. ...

Still have issues with yard and standing water, fence is way above the ground at the gates and my dog has been able to get out constantly. Construction on the homes beside me are noisy and loud music...sides of house are horrendous.

We have a large white pipe sticking up in the back yard that we knew nothing about it was late in the build. Then come to find out at the closing table that it has to stay because it belongs to the community behind us and that there is an easement so it has us limited to what we can do in the back yard. Back yard is slopped pretty bad as well makes it almost unusable for the kids to play.

Before and after closing I have ask them to come and clean excess paint and grout off the floors. It looks terrible! I’m pretty sure this wouldn’t be acceptable if the shoe was on the other foot. So Bloomfield is not in my good graces as I write this.

Disappointed in the overall craftsmanship of the home. We understand some items will slip through and have to be fixed later, but some of the issues should have been obvious to the builder at the time.

I have had to call almost every service number within 1 month. Bathroom leak, hole in concrete, gas leak, garage door adjustment, AC not working. Electricity and appliances have been fine.
