Drees Custom Homes Reviews in Dallas, TX

Delay after delay, the quality of the materials and the quality of the work are poor, response time and communication is poor. The subcontractors they use don't care about the quality of their work or your house and it shows.

The worst on every level.

Where do I start? Multiple structural issues were discovered by us (builder did no quality check to ensure the contracted structure is in place), windows and doors are not aligned (either tilted or one is an inch up & next window is lower). A ton of issues (including cracked granite countertops) are still not taken care of even after contacting customer support.

Paid over a million dollars for a home that was not even close to a custom build. The products used, workmanship and customer service was the worst. Our entire street and cul-de-sac all had same issues. NEVER again.

The first couple of months after signing we were still excited about the possibility of a Drees home but in hind site it took over a month to get to signing. Shortly there after deadlines began to be missed and our confidence disappeared. By the time we were closing…we felt forced to sign and pay in full for a home that Drees agreed was not quite complete. Unfortunately I don’t think the Drees subcontractors know what the word quality means and when we brought this to the attention to a director over the entire DFW are he indicated he was fine with the images of poor workmanship we sent him. Unfortunately the builder’s team was not stable and many details were lost with team changes. We have been living in the home for over two months and still have unfinished items which were promised over two months ago. Our original close date was August; 10week wait (with no other work happening and weeds growing literally six feet tall—I have photos); next close set for October, then plumbing delays—valves left on held up our connecting to natural gas for almost four weeks; next by Christmas/NewYear—nope all the vendors go home to family out of the country and will be gone for weeks but it will 100% for sure be done by mid January; the list still had over 100 items to be completed or repaired; two weeks before we pulled and said there was no way to complete needed work and oh by the way, you now have six weeks because a year ago we booked an extended vacation so make it perfect when we get back; we returned the Monday before close to find almost nothing had been completed they stalled and then the day before closing agreed they couldn’t complete the list…so if we wanted to delay they would be ok, by this point it was too late to reschedule movers, appliance delivery electronic install etc. we asked to withhold funds in escrow due to all the incomplete work—we were told no! The only time I could get action was after I looked up and called Mr. Drees’ assistant… Drees is not a custom builder Drees has no control over its subcontractors Drees builder team tells you to wait and have warranty fix items that warranty doesn’t cover Get EVERYTHING done before you sign because the workers disappear the minute you sign!! ...
