Casa Fresca Homes Reviews

I’ve noticed that several walls and countertops are not even at 90° angles as they should be. Also the mailbox location that we have has no lighting whatsoever so almost impossible to check your mail after dark and feel safe.

When buying a home sometimes the price, location or size is not the most important but how your sales consultant make you feel. In our case we met our consultant a year before we were ready but she stayed in touch with us just checking on us, even when we found a comparable house we went back to Casa because of the relationship we had with Yazmin. Thank you

My experience overall I would say has been okay but that was due to some bumps in the road that I experienced upon moving in. I would highly suggest you check out all the closets and ensure they were installed correctly. I unfortunately had my closet racks fall apart after I added my clothing as the rack was not installed into the beams of the wall. I had my own stud finder and marked off each spot and they did not match the holes left in my wall. I reported it and while I did get a response I realized it had been nearing two weeks and nothing had been scheduled. Then the other side of my closet began to show signs of coming out of the wall as well and I submitted a second report. The response took longer than the advised 48 business hours and by that point I began calling around to try to get some assistant. I got a hold of someone by the name of Becky who I believe worked at the Casa Fresca Main Office. She was a tremendous help in getting the ball rolling and in a couple of days I finally had my closet repaired. That same day someone came by as well to address the little issue I was having with my blinds. There are a few other outstanding things that were supposed to be addressed in regards to the irrigation and the grass that are still outstanding but my main priority was repairing that master closet. ...

My only issues were minor build quality issues and construction manager follow up. I dont feel like after spending $400k+ on a home there would be splattered paint spots on the floor and being told to buy products to clean it up. The house wasn't up to a cleaning standard for a highway motel in my opinion. We had to spend a whole day cleaning after moving in. The home felt rushed in some ways and there are wood squeaking sounds in two rooms. I can feel my foot slighting pushing down the wood as I step over it. Then a representative is educating me that this is normal and it's only fixable after 60+days IF it gets worse. Your sales representatives are great but I'm grateful I have a home. Would I purchase again from the builder.... probably not. Thank you for the hard work and dedication you provided for my family. ... More

Legally binding offer letter of $25k closing costs + 4.99% rate buydown were not met. I am very unhappy and still considering taking you to small claims court for this. Please feel free to call me for details. Quality of the flooring downstairs is abysmal with air pockets underneath everywhere. Nobody came out for a 10/30 day walkthrough which I was told we would get. House got flooded and Super did not tell us. Once we found out and reported the issue we were banned from walking the property until completion which was shocking to my realtor. Also right after purchasing home you doubled your interest rate incentives which left bad taste in my mouth. Not sure who I would recommend this company to ... More

Financing was a nightmare, office was clean and kind, the process was repetitive and seemed very unorganized. Issues are not resolved timely. The house is beautiful but for the price can include things like upgraded fixtures, maybe fans, and crown molding etc. it’s very basic and shower doors were not even included.

Mortgage lender was pretty difficult to deal with. House build quality now living in the house wasn’t really good. Lots of paint over the handles, corners of the floors, sloppy caulking, bad cutting with paint and pretty bad door framing not sitting on the ground flush. Appliances were pushed in place which scratched all the floors. Didn’t notice at the walk as the house was never cleaned then the last walk it was just mopped. Now being in the house dirt gets in the groves and it’s super noticeable. Must say I was a little disappointed moving in but I got what I paid for. Pros: I love living here, awesome open space, nice big garage, pretty sound proof floors, high ceilings and nice and big. ... More

Worked with wonderful people but the builder work is subpar. My upstairs floor is noticeably uneven along with some mild squeakiness, sink in half bath was installed crooked but the only way to notice it was to actually sit on the toilet. These things were brought to their attention within my first 30 days of moving in, but was told nothing could be done about it at this point. Building these homes were definitely a rush job as ALL my nearby neighbors have very similar complaints. I read reviews and they weren’t so great when I chose to build here. I just thought my experience would be different. My ONLY reason for buying here is because of no CDD. This is my 2nd time buying a home and this home is NO comparison to my 1st. Wonderful people but not so great work. Hindsight is 20/20. If I had a do over, I wouldn’t have chosen Casa Fresca. ... More

These houses are not worth what people are paying for them. It’s just a money game now with this company. The houses have numerous issues with them from duct work being to small, collapsing, shelving, door frames being completely out of square, windows out of square, uneven flooring, wasted space, designs that make no sense, cheap flooring and carpeting, leaking plumbing, ac not working, and insect infestations. No mail boxes so you have to go to the post office with some people having to do that for almost a year. To make matters worse, they fight you tooth and nail when you want to try and make a warranty claim. The person that does the warranty work Incan be very nasty and even told someone that they shouldn’t have bought a cookie cutter home and should have bought a WestBay like he owns.. Very disappointed. If you do buy a Casa Fresca home, make sure you have a very good home inspector and go over every square inch of each room and point out every single issue which will be a lot of them. ... More

Builder should of had more options in the kitchen which lacks lighting and gaps in designs.

The house looked great when I bought it. They seem to rush through the building process and leave a lot of little things undone and are very slow to come back to fix anything that should be covered under warranty. When I moved into my brand new Casa Fresca home I had a hose faucet that was broken, pipes under my kitchen sink leaking and a hole the size of a fist in the flashing at the roof eve. They don't even install sprinklers in the backyard. I have been waiting 2 months for the hole in the eve to be fixed. They finally started it last week but left it half repaired and now I have to wait for another trade to come back to finish the repair so I am left with an even bigger hole now exposed to the elements. I ended up paying someone to fix the hose faucet and the plumbing under the sink because I could not wait for their slow response to warranty issues. Not what I expected from Casa Fresca homes at all. Also, it was great that they left blueprints in my new home. It's too bad they were for another home in the development and not even close to my floor plan. Completely useless and there is no one to contact that will help with anything. Once they sell you the house they are done with you and it isn't their problem. ... More

Loved the neighborhood and homes available when it first opened, however after finding home and signing contract, everything changed. It was like pulling teeth to get into home after framework finished, I was only allowed in home twice after; once to check finishes and once to verify work completed. Still waiting on work that wasn't finished 2 months after close and almost no response to requests, just excuses!!

The home is nice. Small details messed up here and there. The service is not great. Pointing things out in our final walkthrough that were obvious mistakes and the builder was visibly annoyed to have to deal with them. Clearly issues they needed to fix. The warranty person has gone weeks between answering calls and emails as well despite repeated follow up.

/Not one person I've spoken to, that has moved in actually moved on their date that was first told to them. Everything just seems shady all the time. I need something fixed it is not a construction issue it's a warranty issue. But warranty says it's construction. I was always told "everyone was working hard on getting our family into our house". Just not happy with the amount of mistakes from subs and Casa workers. I won't by my next house from Casa.

The experience wasn’t great still have issues they supposed to fix till now still no answer

The worst finishes I've seen in baseball in the ports also don't have an irrigation system behind your broken pipes

You will notice issues right away. Months in and they will not get fixed. I would be very cautious before closing with them. The upstairs is VERY unstable in two story homes.

When I bought the house I was offered all is going to be fixed. The closing date when we came to the house. The garage has poor paint. All the construction instructions written on the block you can see them under the paint. The sidewalk and garbage cement has holes and cracks. The irrigation sprinklers were installed outside of the property and I still not getting an answer when are they going to fix it. I bought the model house when the first day they told me the house is going to be painted. 3 days later I received a notices saying I bout the house “as is” seeing the purchased price I’m not seeing discount in comparison with the other houses with same style. The team sometimes answers sometimes not and I feel like the bad person of the history just because I ask to get the things repaired. More because the things I’m asking to get fixed are things wasn’t built within the “as is”. In addition I bought the furniture where I was told all that you are seeing it’s included which isn’t true. At my arrival there was missing things like a coffee maker, air purifier and when I ask for things I paid, the answer is. It’s broken. ... More

Be sure to talk with neighbors before buying in this community and ask for more than 1 walk through prior to closing. We had issues when we bought new with Lennar and expressed those issues with Casa Fresca and we are in the SAME boat. The only highlight is we have a new person appointed who oversees our construction & cosmetic issues and to address the POOR quality of workmanship that was done on our home. Not to mention it took over a month to obtain a pool key after getting no response and calling and emailing people. At this point, I would NOT recommend anyone to buy in this community

The construction manager did not make the process a smooth transition. We feel that things were over looked, things weren’t finished by closing and the construction manager could careless. Each issue we had to go above him in order to receive a resolution.

Would never recommend this builder

Sales lady was fine no complaints. Title co they work with completely archaic system no clue what they were doing a absolute nightmare. The house itself had 3-5 inches drooping in the bonus room. They literally went into the drywall and cut the trusses off the bottom to balance the look out and then re drywalled etc somehow they got their engineer to sign off on it. No clue how they managed this. Terrible experience. I would never recommend.

poorly constructed, they seem to look for speed rather than quality.

We moved from out of state and trusted our construction manager and our warranty consultant to fix any deficit found on third party inspection or by us upon move in. The walls and paint are garbage. A painter came to quote full paint and said he will not until the drywall and texturing is fixed but the warranty rep said they do not warranty this. However it was supposed to be done after home inspection while in escrow as much of it was noted. We were told all but one owner obligation item was done (adding a drain for upstairs washer) Lawn had to be replaced before moving in and was supposed to be monitored to ensure it grows (it's not been rechecked or fixed as promised). The walls, doors, uneven floor, unfinished spots in inspecrion, paint errors were predominantly ignored. ... More

Very disappointed with the quality of everything. Was expecting something better
