Drees Homes Reviews in Cleveland, OH

I don't have anything to add.

Be ready to keep drees organized and on task. Somewhat stressful process. Love our home but a long road getting here and still open issues.

We were constantly advised that issues would be taken care of, however, they were not. Too many issues for a home that you are paying a half million dollars for. Items that were supposed to be handled within two weeks of closing have still not been taken care of almost three months later. Just too many headaches and issues.

The builder was on-site everyday and very responsive to our needs. We were on a deadline and he delivered even during some of the most difficult times. I deducted one star for the workmanship and I feel this is directly related to the pandemic. It is so difficult to find labor right now and this led to a slight decrease in the quality of the final finishes. These were easily corrected though after we moved in. The workers doing the initial framing and structural build of the home were fantastic. Very pleased with the Drees Team!

Everything has been good except slow taking care of a few problems

Our project manager, Matt was great. Any workmanship issues were scheduled and corrected promptly with the exception of a concrete issue. The floor plan works exactly as we wanted based on our ability to customize with DOYL. Thanks George. Not cheap with upgrades and lot improvement charges, but the overall value of the home is good. It immediately appraised above the purchase price. Very happy with the house and lot.

Overall satisfied. Their quality audit process ensures typical building issues get resolved.

I am very excited that Drees is building my home!!

The overall final product was decent without too many issues - some of which were encountered with COVID-19 issues, but the communication throughout the entire process was terrible. Issues arise and we understand that, but all we asked for was to stay informed and updated but that was never the case and we had to follow up numerous times to get answers.

Drees has a lot of upgrades available . During meeting with marketing manager , Be sure you ask for all construction and framing related upgrades and get it added before signing off agreement . They didn’t told us in advance so being first time buyer we missed some important upgrades . The quality of material and construction seems to be good and value of money . The Design Centre staff is really good , flexible and will tell you all information upfront.

Their vendor selection is really poor. We’ve had multiple issues just in the first 4 months of living here that include but are not limited to: a gas leak, sewage backup in the basement, foundation cracks with water leaks, dirty carpet upon move-in, unfixable mold buildup in grout, and a custom built-in in our living room that still isn’t complete. It has all in all been a very stressful experience.

I would not hire Drees to build a dog house much less a new home for us. There were multiple errors throughout the building process that took months to rectify. We had to change lots because they measured the 1st one incorrectly and our home would not fit on the lot. The Marketing Manager could not effectively explain what a garden basement was. Our laundry room was inverted from the blue prints and installed incorrectly. It had to be ripped out and redone. The tresses across the ceiling had 1 that was almost an 1" longer than the rest. We had to have huge holes cut out in our Master Bedroom and Bonus Room after the rooms had been completed and redone. The ceilings are still not complete and will have to have the drywall fixed at our 1 year warranty. The trades did a horrible job on the work done in the home. The trim is uneven. The grout is missing in sections in our master bathroom. There is wall paint on our white trim. There is paint on our floors. The cosmetics of the home are poorly done and do not represent the quality one would expect with the price point of our home. Buyer Beware. ... More
