Overall positive experience. We would build with them again. Lengthy building process and some material quality concerns due to supply chain issues. Most issues have been addressed promptly and adequately by the builder so far. Happy with our new home.

We had to be on top all the design selections that are actually installed. Some items were missing after moving in and had to reach builder to remind installation. It was a bit of confusing communicating with builder directly so best bet is to call Drees customer services reps as they quickly address any issues after move-in. Overall , experience is great.

Great upfront sales presentation

  • Jon L.

  • October 28, 2021
  • Arlington, TX

Drees offers some great floor plans and the model homes will for sure get you hooked, however, some of their subs could have been more dedicated to their workmanship. Additionally, it would have been nice of Drees and the head of construction to take into consideration the homeowners intent to purchase. For instance, do not run utility service lines down the middle of a pool-sized backyard forcing the new homeowner to incur costly expenses to move those lines in order to put in a pool. Drees offered no concession and no remedy to the situation even though they ultimately signed off on these ...

Our home is beautiful

  • Robert P.

  • Prosper, TX

This is a hard review to give because we love our home and it’s beautiful. However, there are still unfinished items and things that need to be done. COVID hasn’t helped but Drees should have back up options to deal with this as they have had over a year to adjust. I feel like they give priority to homes under construction but once you close, you become an afterthought.

Overall good but attention to detail is lacking

  • Yosuke K.
  • Verified HomeBuyer
  • June 05, 2022
  • Austin, TX

While the overall experience of buying a Drees home was very nice, the attention to detail was lacking from the construction and paint crew. We are still finding things that were either damaged during construction or left unfinished. THE ONE THAT ANNOYS ME THE MOST: The sides of the kitchen cabinets were scratched up by the guy who had installed the stove hood vent. The hood was installed after the final walk through because they had the wrong one at the time. We didn't notice it until a few weeks after moving in. Very annoying to say the least.

Once you close on the house and notice any issues they are slow to follow-up. You'll get told whatever they think you want to hear. Three plus emails about the same issues are three to many.
