I like the overall sales process and all of the employees were awesome. Just a little more communication.

[name removed] bang for your buck. However, some of the construction seemed rushed or just not a lot of care went into the overall product. Since living here we have found a couple band aid fixes, things not straight (counter tops, walls, etc.)

We found one last “blue tape” reminder to be fixed, that hasn’t been fixed.

I like the check in after 30 days. I liked the overall process, really. I'm not super satisfied with my yard, but aside from that the whole process has been great.

I dislike the lack of communication, follow through, attention to detail, and overall finishing work on my home. I don’t like that the few times items were fixed they turned out worse. I had to wait 8 months for window screens and when installed they broke the blinds I purchased with my own money. You said send a receipt for the blinds and I did within a few days and no one has responded/no reimbursement. I provided a thorough list early on of all the things I found wrong and very few were actually addressed. I dislike the subpar contractors that were/are used in the Stillwater area. The air ducts are filthy and no final cleaning was done prior to closing, although I was told this would be done. I don’t understand the point of a year warranty to fix issues if you just run out the clock and don’t fix anything. I feel like Ideal Homes is not fulfilling their end of the contract. I have less than two months left and have 0 confidence that Ideal Homes will correct my requests and concerns.

I like how fast I got a response from the tech [name removed] was really nice. Dislike that I find issues with the house and told it’s the builders rushing

I wish I had refused to close on the home until it was finished because it's taken several months, and nagging from me, to get everything done. The worst were the exterior painters. When I moved in there was concrete splatter on the walls of back patio and front porch, front door was unpainted. After being told by [name removed] several times that he'd call or be there, I got stood up after waiting around all day. When painters did come, I couldn't communicate with them because they didn't speak English. Now the front door has bits of white showing through, I have blue paint on my door mat and they reattached my hose (that I had removed and covered the faucet for winter) to clean their equipment which was fine. But they left the hose attached which I didnt notice because I usually drive in the garage, and it was so tight I had to call a family member to come over at night to try to get the hose off on a night before the temp was supposed to get down to 16. Now he says my faucet may be damaged trying to get the hose off. It's very frustrating to see the new builds all around me with finished exterior painting and I had to work so hard to get it done on my house. I guess it was because I'd already paid for my house so it wasn't a priority.

There was a lot… cabinets were the wrong color throughout the house. Ideal had to push back my closing date TWICE (one time on the day of closing) because they were not ready. To their credit, they did almost everything I requested when fixing the house (going above contractual obligations). Painters were not ideal. Several times didn’t paint what they were supposed to.

Everyone was very friendly and professional. I had good response times on my questions, which I appreciate. What I disliked was the limitations put on me based on the home series as far as upgrades. I was not able to get my vanity in my master bath leveled lower with the sink counters at a higher level because I purchased a [name removed]. Honestly, how petty! I’m paying for it so who cares. Little things like that really turned me off. My next home will be a full custom! For the cost, Ideal gives a good product for the price if you can get past that petty stuff.

Homebuilder Customer Reviews

No one knows more about a homebuilder's quality and service than the builder's customers.

Since 1984, Eliant has been independently evaluating the performance of homebuilders across the U.S., Canada, and the Middle East:

  • We ask recent homebuyers to evaluate their builder's purchase process.
  • Then, we ask homeowners to evaluate their builder's quality and service (1) after the first 5-months in the home, and (2) again at the end of the first year.

In "Homebuilder Customer Reviews", we present the ratings and comments collected from new-home buyers at these three points in time.

Eliant verifies that only evaluations completed by actual customers are included in this "Homebuilder Customer Reviews" site. No other evaluations - whether collected by the builder or those appearing on other public sites - are included here. All customer comments are included verbatim, no editing is permitted.
