Worst Homebuilders and Highest Rated Homebuilders in America
Рет қаралды 79,878
Do NOT Build a House with these Home Builders! Who are the worst homebuilders in the United States? Over the last few months, we’ve been bombarded with story after story of naughty builders. Poor quality of construction. Homes taking way longer than expected. Builders forcing buyers to pay more for the home months after they’ve signed off on a final price. Some builders have canceled contracts only to turn around & sell the home to someone else for tens of thousands of dollars more. Other builders have unscrupulously kept thousands of dollars in homebuyer deposits. Sure 2021 was a tough year for builders with shortages in labor & supplies, while the cost of construction skyrocketed. Most builders did the best they could, some even sold their homes at a loss to honor their pricing. Several builders handled the adversity with flying colors while others… well, let’s just say they’ve been put on the naughty list. Quite frankly some builders are notoriously bad year after year in quality of construction & customer service among other things. List of Best & Worst Homebuilders Below.

@TyWilde 4 ай бұрын
For the most part, homes are built to code. Only lazy or uneducated city inspectors would allow a house to be built substandard. That being said, some builders construct homes using the finest materials while others use the cheapest thing they can find. The same goes for laborers. That's why it's important to go with a highly rated builder when you're ready to build a house. You should also hire a realtor with new home construction experience to guide you through the process.

Informative Video. I'm currently looking at Homes by M/I in La Marque Tx. I spoke with a couple of random recent Homebuyers walking in the neighborhood, they had nothing negative to say regarding their homes or the process and said they would recommend the M/I and the Neighborhood. Do you happen to have anymore information regarding M/I or 'Tips & Tricks" on how to negotiate the best Deal in a Slow Market?
@TyWilde 5 ай бұрын
Thanks for the compliment. I’m not familiar with MI homes. We don’t have them here in Utah. I think the best negotiation tip is to see what they are offering, ask for a little more and walk away if they won’t budge. Let the agent know, if they can make it happen you’re ready to buy and give it a few days. Feel free to reach out after a few days to see if there is anything more they can do. If they say no, they were probably offering the best deal From the beginning. Best of luck.

It varies quite wide across the country with the larger builders, and it also depends on the location. Some place have no quality workers it appears and others do. They hire locally so that is part of the problem. They also want the lowest bid but that don't mean it will be bad, it just depends on the person. Also, some places they will build higher quality because of the area. That is one reason some get so many complaints since so many are probably not built correctly. The main problem is the system that allows national builder to do as they wish, and the area that let them do it. Instead of requiring custom homes they just say yes and give the kickbacks. Normal corporate behavior with nobody trying to stop it.

I purchased my first home in 2009 in southern AZ. It was a DR Horton home. Honestly, I had an incredible experience and they did an amazing job. I’ve worked in quality assurance and can be very OCD with the most minor details. They were patient and accommodating. I’m shocked to hear how the company has been to most customers. Maybe it has to do with timing since I was buying right after the market crash and all the builders in this area were hurting! I also got the house for 15% cheaper than the comps from a year earlier (right before the crash). So maybe my experience was positive because they were hurting for customers.

There is almost non existent quality control from their building manager(s) (multiple in a year)- he basically was on site to ensure items were completed - not that they were done right. Problems ranged from wavy drywall, bowed walls, bad flooring, a home that failed at least 3 building inspector visits due to structural issues, siding/soffit loose and falling off, doors and windows improperly installed, paint runs on interior/exterior doors, trim that was never fastened to walls/cabinetry correctly, shoddy cabinet installation, GFCI electrical problems - I could go on................

All the bottom list builders are mass home builders. Quality cost money….
@TyWilde Жыл бұрын
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. It's true that if you're willing to pay more, you will often get a higher quality product. But, a quality builder takes personal pride in the house that they build. The builders on the bottom of this list have proven over and over again that they don't really take a lot of pride in what they do and that is why they find themselves on the bottom of this list, due to an over abundance of pissed off clients and bad online reviews.

NOT a good idea. You want to know the bones of the house. Concrete, framing, roofing, plumbing, wiring, insulation , and make sure the process is up to code. You want to see as the inspector signs off and make sure they are not cutting corners. A house already built is no guarantee that it’s not shoddy construction.

Lennar was awful. They put in defective flooring in our home and gave us the option of a very small buy out or to replace the floors with the same exact floors🤦♀️. We had to pay 10k out of pocket to replace them and we should have never had to do that 2 years after buying a brand new home! They also build tiny homes in all of their neighborhoods that end up being mostly rentals.

I bought a new David Weekley home in Timnath, Colorado 2+ years ago. I am happy with it, but am frustrated with annoying corners they cut. The home came with a tankless water heater that is wayyyyy too small for the home. It takes more than 10 minutes to get hot water to the master bedroom and is a colossal waste of water . We are in the midsts of spending thousands to replace. I also needed to replace the cheap kitchen faucet that splashed water all over the granite island countertop. My concrete front step is separating from the house. Our community’s local government had to come down on them and chase them to meet code and build a rail on my front step because my front step has 4+ stairs. You can’t trust David Weekley to do everything right.

Taylor Morrison is the worst home builder. They pay for their ratings. Check out their BBB. I am contractor and got sent to Taylor Morrison homes. Brand new homes with roof leaked and the ceiling crumbling down but the home is two years old so it’s out of warranty. The materials looked over 20years old. There’s HUNDREDS of similar stories the same, plumbing, roof, framing, doors frames. They leave home owners having to pay 10’s of thousands to fix problems on their new homes and insurance doesn’t cover it. Taylor Morrison will leave you with the bill and by the time it fails you’ll be out of your warranty.

Best quote ever from a realtor, "buyers look for the lowest price, but they should look for the best VALUE". He is 100% correct. My wife and I looked at a model home in a new subdivision a few years ago that was well over a half million dollars but didn't think it was the right time to buy. Well, that builder went out of business and a big builder (one of the worst mentioned in this video) purchased the site and began offering homes in the high 200's!!!!!!!! At the time we looked at the model, there were about four homes sold in this subdivision ALL over a half million. The homes were beautiful and a mix of brick and Hardie board siding. These homes are now neighbors to homes made with "cheap vinyl" and 8-foot ceilings. At the time, I remember thinking we could never afford a house like this near the city, but worried the builder could potentially go out of business and that's exactly what happened due to covid.
