Not responsive to concerns

We have had difficulty getting issues resolved such as drainage issues off of roof, back yard is a mess with weeds and soil is so hard grass would not grow. Company seems to short change certain areas instead of putting worth a real value for price paid

Drees Homes responded:
Michael: Thank you for sharing your experience. We take all customer concerns seriously and strive to address any warranty items as quickly as possible. Yard and drainage issues can sometimes require attention during more temperate times of the year, which may cause delays, but we want to make sure your concerns are properly resolved. Please contact our Customer Care team so we can review your concerns with you and create a work order for follow-up. ...

Beautiful Home

  • Elizabeth J.

  • Hinckley, OH

Overall have loved every step of the building process with Drees. There are a few things I wish could change such as larger sample sizes or at least installed pictures of all of the different choices. I wish some things were included and not so pricey because with all of the trim, it really adds up! Some of the trim work is not as tight or neat as we would like but once the furniture was in the house, we didn’t notice it as much. Sean was great to work with as was George from start to finish.

Drees Homes responded:
Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed the building process and working with Sean and George. We appreciate your thoughtful comments regarding samples, pricing, and trim details, and we’re pleased to know you’re enjoying your new Drees home. dreeshomes

We bought a pre-built home. No real builder interaction

  • Rex K.

  • Mc Cordsville, IN

A few corners were cut for expense management. One example 1/2 of the kitchen cabinets had soft close hinges and 1/2 did not. Dead tree on the punch list died again 4 weeks after the closing and I had escalate to get mgmt. involved to get it replaced.

Drees Homes responded:
Thank you for your feedback, Rex. We regret that your experience did not fully meet expectations, and we understand your concerns regarding the cabinet hinges and landscaping. We’re glad the tree replacement was ultimately resolved, and we appreciate you bringing these items to our attention as we remain committed to delivering both quality homes and responsive service. ...

Expensive Learning Curve

  • Anonymous
  • Verified HomeBuyer
  • August 13, 2025
  • Hebron, KY

We deeply regret not becoming more educated about how language used by realtors, builder-affiliated loan officers, purchase agreements, and even walk-through documentation can be framed to appear routine while hiding details—like room measurements that include walls and staircases rather than living space, or fees like rate locks disclosed only after commitment—leaving us paying for things we never truly received, yet always explained away with polished ease. This experience has cost us far more than we ever expected, emotionally and financially.

Drees Homes responded:
We’re sorry to hear your experience didn’t meet your expectations. While we can’t share specific details publicly, our team followed standard procedures, provided documentation, and worked closely with you and your Realtor throughout the process. When concerns arose, we offered several solutions — including the option to cancel with a full refund — but you chose to move forward, and we delivered the home as agreed. We strive to make every homebuying experience positive and our Customer Care team would be happy to speak with you directly about any remaining concerns. ...

Michelle, Aaron and Travis were EXCELLENT throughout the process from signing paperwork to moving into my new home. Aaron was part of the builder team and really responsive to questions.

We purchased a home that had been built already so I can’t speak on the building process. I can say that it is a beautiful home and seems to be very well built. There were only a few minor corrections to be made when it was inspected. All new homes need a little tweak here and there in the beginning. Every single person that I have met in this company has been so nice and quick to respond when I need anything.

Drees Homes responded:
Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re so glad you’re enjoying your beautiful new home and that any minor adjustments were handled quickly. It’s wonderful to hear our team has been responsive and pleasant to work with — we truly value your kind words and welcome you to the Drees family! ...

Poor Experience

  • Julie D.
  • Verified HomeBuyer

  • Wake Forest, NC

I feel like I have been mislead in the process of purchasing this home. I asked about having a realtor and was told I didn’t need one. In the design center, I was presented with the high end items. I didn’t realize I was making selections that put my home higher than other homes. I was sold a premium lot that I’m now dealing with kudzu which will take over my yard if not taken care of. This has been a terrible purchase.

Drees Homes responded:
Thank you for sharing your concerns. We understand that purchasing a home is a significant decision, and we’re sorry your experience has not met your expectations. Your final home price reflects the specific selections you made during the process, including a premium lot with a wooded tree line—features that typically add value and appeal. While the neighborhood’s average home price is slightly lower (by $15K), individual prices vary based on lot selection, structural options, and design upgrades. During the process, you were given the option to cancel the contract with the understanding your deposit would be forfeited, but you chose to proceed. Also, in NC, having a realtor represent you in a home purchase is not a legal requirement. The decision to proceed without a realtor was entirely yours, and we respect that choice. Our team was always available to answer questions and support throughout the ...

Love our new home. However, there were lots of maintenance items after we moved in. We have been here for four months and we are still waiting for some outside items to be completed. Also, during the last month, new problems have surfaced inside. The items that have been addressed so far are mediocre at best. This home doesn't compare to the quality of the home we sold.

Numerous issues with the home. STAY AWAY FROM DREES

The builders and labor workers do not care in the quality of their work. Really pay attention to your warranties and things like that because Drees will not point things out to you. Or try to go above and beyond to help you.

Initially we signed for a home only to discover during our home inspection that the roof was incorrectly installed and there was a leak. There was water damage to multiple areas and materials to the home. A couple weeks later we stopped by the house and discovered the sump pump failed and flooded the partially finished basement. Drees fixed the issues (and a few others discovered on the inspection) but we pulled out from this house. We ended up getting another home which we haven't had many issues with but communication is terrible. We are still waiting for the yard to be placed and receive ...

This was our second time building a new home and while we did not have a bad experience with our previous builder, the overall experience and quality of our Dress home was exceptional. The start of the building process was easy and convenient with the community sales representative.

Amanda at the design center was wonderful to work with and helped make the selection process as easy as possible. The only frustration we had during the entire process was getting responses ...
