Village Builders Reviews

Im happy with the piece of land and floor plan but the quality of workmanship and materials were not too good.

Good builder with nice homes.

Our construction manager rushed us into closing on our home without several items completed. Since our close, we haven't heard from him. I had to reach out to his manager to gain traction on the process. It seemed like a lot of promises without the results.

The process felt rushed from start to finish. Upon hiring a home inspector it was discovered that there were a number of obvious defects in craftsmanship and attention to detail. Overall the home is beautiful and the materials used increase the value of the home.

The house is nice with quality materials. Purchase price right at $1,0m and the craftsmanship is not any better than some of the cheaper investment properties I own. In fact, Craftmanship is pretty poor across the board. Another frustration is we have been in the home 2.5 months and have a pretty substantial punch list of about 40+ items. I have built 4 homes and usually the punch list is knocked out in about 30-60 days with maybe some minor items lingering past that time frame. To date in writing this review VB has moved the porta potty to the next door neighbors yard and made one repair to the sprinkler system (they still have 2 zones to correct). All other 35ish+ items items have not been addressed. It is extremely frustrating. Back to quality, I will share some good things and bad: Framing - Had a pre-drywall inspection and the inspector was impressed Masonry - above average Irrigation system - poor (have had issues in three different zones already) Trim - Pretty pathetic, not flush, scrapes and gashes all over it, gaps in the trim, nail holes, etc -Painting/Texture - painting is fine, we have large beams and a 20+ foot ceiling, it looks like they didn't put drop cloths down and we have stain all over our wood floors, the beams in the bathroom (Similar setup) the stain looks very sloppy, texture was very poorly applied and inconsistent throughout the house -Cabinets - our cabinets actually look pretty nice, their are some minor issues but nothing worth noting -Flooring - wood looks and tile looks nice throughout house -Bathroom - Biggest gripe is in our two downstairs bath where they have higher end finish outs. Their subcontractor for the shower glass - I really dislike how they did it and personally think they were skimping to try make more profit. VB acts like it is fine - my wife and do a lot of real estate, my desginer, and my wife's uncle who owns a glass company all have never seen a shower finish out how they performed it. Overall - house looks "nice" but the craftsmanship is pretty poor. I like the team from VB but the fact remains they are moving at a snails pace in getting anyone out here on the home. I get in the current market conditions it can be challenging to get quality subs but they are owned by Lennar and a publicly traded company. They should be working with higher quality subs if that is the issue. We have done a decent sized remodel of the new home (we did not get to pick any design elements) and our team accomplished a ton in 6 weeks. They have completed 2 items off the punch list. In Austin, housing is at such a shortage any builder can operate how they do and will have a wait list for home purchases. That probably won't be fixed anytime soon. If this was a truly neutral market, you would not use VB to build your home. ... More

Please do not buy from Lennar. They over promise and under deliver. Horrible construction quality, cheap material. Do not get trapped in what they say.

Great/timely communication from all folks involved in the homebuying process and a high quality of craftsmanship. When there have been issues, the builder is quick to respond/address.

While exploring options for our new home we had multiple options to choose from and also took feedback from our friends living in Alina and owning Wentworth series from Village/Lennar. Overall the experience was good. We did had major hiccups with the clearance with the lot we received, delays and change in lot, but I must give it to the sales rep John M. for finding the alternate solutions with the developer, that is customer service right there for us. During construction phase generally the Construction Manager Antony was supportive and provided the right visibility and explanation on why's and how's. We are hoping quality of overall finish will continue to be good and this house will holdup safe and sound for long. There are we be some warranty items/issues, and we are confident they will be resolved/fixed during the warranty period. Overall we are happy with the product and the service and hoping we will carryforward the legacy of being the Good Ambassador's of Village/Lennar Homes. ... More

In today's age, it seems builders are throwing houses up at a rapid pace and many times they miss things. Make sure you are thorough in your walkthrough including the outside and yard/landscape.

I would buy all over again.

Broken promises, missed deadlines, and forced to close on an incomplete home.

The overall experience is great!

Ensure that you hire a thorough inspector as the house has had tons of workmanship issues. From lawn issues to sagging pantry and closet shelves.

Poor workmanship throughout the entire home.

Great overall experience and the chance to experience the process of construction as the house progresses to completion.

Topnotch experience from beginning til the end.worked with excellent people who guided us all the way- Kylle went above and beyond !

To start off, my experience with Lennar Mortgage was exhausting. Their underwriting process is the most arduous that I've ever experienced. I was constantly asked to submit the same thing repeatedly. My first home I bought was a Lennar home in 2010. It was a great home and my wife even worked for them at one point. We thought buying another Lennar home, a Village Builder this time, would be a great choice. Times have changed! The quality and finishes of our 2021 Village Builder were worse than our Lennar home in 2010. Door hardware and closet brackets were rusted. Shelving was sagging. Tile was not level. Paint and drywall was done poorly and paint wipes off when you wipe it with a wet rag! Later found out from a neighbor that a major repair was done on master bath toilet. They ran the plumbing to the next room study. They had to bust out the foundation and move the plumbing and patch the concrete. We had asked them if any major repairs were completed to the home during construction and they said No via email. They now won't respond to us via email and we are contacting a lawyer. Our back brick wall was hanging off the brick ledge. They agreed to fix it and then damaged it again before they could even complete the job. The reason why the brick was hanging off? The frame was too close to the edge! The kitchen cabinets are cheap, off the shelf-store bought cabinets. Sad for the price we paid. We have no pendant lights, no chandeliers, just recessed can fixtures. Very disappointing for a Village Builder. Our yard....is a mix of bermuda, st. augustine, clover, dandelions, and crap grass. They grade the slopes with shovels...shovels. They did not fill the area prior to laying soil. They planted all our bushes and plants into the clay soil, then put mulch on top. We found this out when our plants began to die because they were drowning. They refuse to fix this and just keep adding more mulch. So, why did we not refuse to close, you may ask!? Because on the day of closing the construction manager said, if you put anything on the punch list, you cannot close today. . . and we had nowhere to go and school had just started. This is our experience. Just dissapointing in general. They are trying to resolve most of our complaints, but the followup work is no better than the original build and worse in some cases. We may have been better off just not submitting any warranty items. ... More

I'm happy that they built my house.They responds to issues on time.Material used are good and the purchased price worth it with the location built on.I will recommend them.for other people.The Loan officer that closed for me is well mannered..Thank you once again...

Some of the contractors they chose are of low quality. The carpet guy for my home was not up to standard.

Good experience. Time line good.

We have built 3 other new homes so we have alot to compare against. This was an average experience with an average quality home/builder. Likely would not contract with them again, but they were only builder available in the area we wanted to be in.

Trusted builder, accommodating staff, amazing company

Am totally satisfied with my home construction quality and help after purchase.

The home buying experience was great . I just got some misleading information about my house .

A great team to work with from day one!
