Drees Homes Inc

I went under contract to build a home with Drees in August 2014. During the design phase of the project I had to continually review every detail of the line items as the design consultant kept adding in random price lines or adding things to the cost of the design center that were already included in the original contract. Drees has a policy about the same floorplan and similiar elevations (two brick or two stone elevations) going next to one another. During the phase where my foundation was being built I learned they were putting my same floor plan next door with the same type of elevation (stone). They told me that the house next door had to move lots because it didn't fit on the original lot. I asked that they change the front of my house to differentiate it from the other house and we worked on what elements to include for a few days. Then I noticed that the lot where it originally was supposed to be built had the same elevation as my neighbor's being built next to it which isn't allowed. So what they told me about moving lots seems to not be true. When I asked about it the Sales Manager, Stephanie Miller, wrote me an email saying it was a business decision and she'd no longer discuss it because she could never make me happy. She is working on making requested changes to the exterior and we still have a lot of the building process to go. However, it has been a completely unpleasant process and I'm not sure I'd go through it again or be able to recommend this company to anyone else. They change their policies as it suits them.

Built a home from start to finish with Drees Homes in Raleigh. Everyone from the sales office to the onsite builder to the warranty representative was responsive through the whole process. The home is well built and we are excited for our new beautiful house!
