Drees Homes Reviews in Indianapolis, IN

We love our home. Anytime we have had an issue Brock or customer service has been on it very quickly. We would for sure recommend Drees and would buy Drees again!

When my wife and I were deciding to buy, we never imagined we would end up buying a new build, until we walked into our first Drees home. The details, quality of work, and overall communication with our building supervisor, Jake Olvey, was incredible. We are so glad we got to buy from Drees and look forward to having our forever home!

The home is beautiful and more than we expected. The model we chose has a lot of thoughtful design features that are important into today's homes, i.e., ample storage space, functional kitchen design, large windows throughout, and attention to detail. We couldn't be more pleased.

The Project Manager was great to work with. Kept us informed regularly about the progress on our home and what to expect along the way. He was easy to communicate with and promptly addressed any concerns along the way.

The experience with Drees was outstanding. The experience began with a knowledgeable and thorough salesperson to a detailed and organized project manager. They made the building process very smooth. They dealt with any of our concerns promptly and there were very few. Communication was fluid and always welcomed. The end product was very high quality and we could not be more satisfied.

Drees made the homebuilding experience easy. I was kept up to date on every step of the process.

Everything was great. Very happy

Our recent move from Hawaii to Indiana was riddled with many challenges, including the home buying process. However, we finally experienced relief from the moment we stepped into the Drees model home sales center at Shafer Woods. From our initial meeting with Claire in the sales office, through the build with Barrett, we were left with the sense that ,we as the customer were always at the top of their mind. Any and all questions, concerns, or issues were addressed in a timely fashion with a smile and professional expertise. A big Mahalo (Thank You) to Claire, Barret, and the entire Drees team. ... More

Very beautiful floor plan and excellent quality!

Everyone on teh Drees team was engaged and a pleasure with which to work.

We love our Drees home. This is our first experience building a house as we as have bought used in the past. We wanted a certain style and top quality construction and they delivered. Their attention to detail and energy efficiency is amazing. Every step of the process the teams were amazing.

Laundry room door needed to be relocated to allow access to the washing machine. Drees very helpful but still waiting for the repair probably due to current shortage of workers.

overall very good job. had a few issues with the garage doors but they are working on them

Overall, everyone was wonderful. Our builder was what made this experience great. He was professional and handled all of our questions. Everytime something needed resolved, it was. I would recommend Drees, Seth, and the Drees team to all of my friends!

My experience has been wonderful. Great professionals were in every step of the construction of our house. Always willing to help. Thank you all very much for your great work.

All in all, the building process was great. I enjoyed the opportunity to work with the builder and review building process unhindered which was great. The quality of the materials used was good and reputable Brands. The one thing I was disappointed in was the Quality of Craftmanship during the building process. A lot of mistakes and do overs that could have been avoided if there was a full-time superintendent during building process to review drawings and related structure to be sure work crew understood (in Spanish) the trade activities for the day. This would have prevented poor workmanship and mistakes in structure. Then as home progress into the finishing stages the placement of protective care over permeant fixtures, moldings, flooring, doors, cabinets, hardware to prevent damage and replacement of these items upon completion of home prior to final walk-through inspection. There were several times during the building process had I not been able to come on a day to day bases certain items would have been completed and then either modified (if possible) or tore up to be corrected; due to lack of communication and understanding of appropriate tasked trade. There were some trades that were very good at their skill; but these were few. Would I build again with Drees----YES; they provide a quality appealing home astatically outside as well as inside. Drees exterior options and interior options provide the breadth and depth and flexibility of injecting custom items and changes outside and inside that personalize the home to us. thanks ... More

We had a great sales person: Suzanne was wonderful with changes we wanted and always pleasant and tesponsive. We had a wonderful general contractor/superintendent, Michael Carroll. He was very responsive to any questions or changes needed. Unfortunately, he was brought in after work was already being performed. Mike had to troubleshoot the problems. He was wonderful and positive anytime we worked with Mike. However some of the workmanship is not quality work. It takes 5 min to get hot water to our kitchen faucet, with very low water pressure as well. We also have a large crack in our ceiling that was repaired before we moved in. You could tell where the ceiling was patched. Now the crack is back after 2 months and part of ceiling coming down. We are reaching out to get this resolved, but feel there is a structural issue. The white caulk with green siding looks terrible, not done very professionally. ... More

Drees home are beautiful and spacious! This is my second one and I would build with them again!

The sales agent was very good and responsive to my requests.

The buying process was a breeze with Drees We are still working thru some issues at day 50

I really enjoyed working with the whole Drees team- a great buying experience

Customer service was very high and they were quick to address/resolve issues or concerns. Some subs did not meet our workmanship quality expectations but probably same across the board with any home builder. In general though good quality materials and workmanship. Felt we paid a premium price and there was no negotiation. Granted materials had gone up a lot during pandemic but lumber dropped a lot early 2023 from all time highs and our timing was such that we felt some room should have been available. We feel it will be some time before we build any equity but that may be true of any new build these days. The value was probably fair for both parties. ... More

I was fortunate to working with a team of people who came together to get me into my home on my timeline. I have my 60 walk tomorrow. I only have a few items to be addressed.

they were very responsive at the Model Home and helped out tons, the design center person didn't know about a lot of the options available, and since moving in we have had to change several thing already... Our 1st GC was horrible, but our 2nd one made up for him and more, great Guy! Workmanship, OK at Best, i did give them a 4, just because of the GC's responsiveness to issues. only been in the home 30 days, we already have had several nail pops, multiple issues with appliances, walls out of alinement, and overall shoddy subs doing the work for Drees. Wouldn't suggest Drees to anyone, unless they get their act together. ... More

Overall had a positive experience purchasing and building our home with Drees. The process is never smooth and hiccups happen, which they were mostly responsive to. The workmanship is good, not great. Bathroom shower had to be redone due to a issue they found (which I would not have noticed so that is good). The worst experience definitely has been the landscaping they provided - large portion of the sod that was provided was in horrible condition and they were happy to come out and replace those pieces. The placement and installation of trees is terrible. I had 5 trees installed - 3 are crooked and 1 was placed in the middle of the backyard (why?!). They do not fix/move them either after installation so make sure when they do the initial landscaping, you're watching closely. Like with other builders as well, your lawn is just all clay so the quality of the soil is horrendous and you're going to have to do a lot of work after to get it right. ... More
