[name removed] was very willing to show me all the different layouts and was responsive through the process. [name removed] was very personable during the blue tape walk through. Ideal Homes accommodated us wanting to live in the home early. However, they delayed fixing the blue tape issues, causing stress leading up to move in because they did not have all the repairs fixed and cleaned in time for the final walk through.

Like- [name removed] does amazing jobs helping my family out with any types issue. She deserves a raise. Dislike- the cabinets around the house always rubbing back-and-forth when close. I already got it adjusted many times. The walk in shower in the master room. How there is a little gap on the frame by the wall that caused the water to touch the baseboard causing to rot/ chip the paint. The ventilator for the stove. After using a few times, it’s causing the whole cabinet on top of it to turned yellow from the grease.

There’s a cabinet door the gets caught when closing and a spot in the kitchen flooring where a bit of grout is missing. Other than that everything has been good.

Like: Floor plan, Interior , Appliances , Insulation , HVAC system , Quality of doors and windows Dislike: Quality of concretes at patio and porch, Quality of trees and lawns. My main concern is that whole patio concrete is already severely cracked into four pieces within two months of key handover. We are much disappointed about it.

This was my 3rd NEW home I’ve purchased from Ideal in the last 10 years, I did not feel like that was valued / recognized which was a disappointment.

They have made it very easy and have addressed any issues I’ve had. My only concern has been the quality of the finishes when it has been presented as high end.

The number of issues that needed to be corrected, basic things like the back door frame having been installed crookedly requiring multiple fixes, door into garage wouldn’t stay connected when shut, an out of plumb front porch column, etc, - other minor issues. All have now been addressed and resolved. I also have concerns about the number of rental properties and vacant homes in the neighborhood, yet you are still building new homes…in my mind, rental properties bring down the neighborhood and our property values as home owners.

I have nothing negative to say. When I was having trouble with the Post Office because I still hadn't received mailbox keys, [name removed] personally drove me over to the Post Office to help me resolve the problem. He did this on HIS DAY OFF!!! He definitely went above and beyond this job responsibilities and I will forever be grateful!!!

There were a number of detail items that should have been addressed in QC. I don’t like the cracks in the driveway/sidewalks on a new home we bought 5 months ago. Front porch two by four is sitting out and it was patched and that repair lasted less than two weeks.

Over all great house. Paint on inside wasn’t a 10. Had missed spots in the closets and spackle still visible. I don’t think it received a 2nd coat. I was already too far along in unpacking to have repainted. Also, there was no 30 60 90 day follow up inspections. It was too much for me to schedule those since I had moved from out of state. Too many other things to keep track of. When asking about 3rd phase starting, was very disappointed than there will be not be an other entrance. It’s extremely hard to get to the house when drop off and pick up are going on at the school. Safety as well. Hope that it never happens but should there be a wildfire or another disaster of some kind and both entrances/exits are blocked, we are in a heap of trouble!

Easy and friendly buying experience. Had a few issues with the floor tile cracking in my bathroom, but it was retiled/fixed at no cost to me. Bathroom vanity still needs paint touch up from where the tile popped up and hit the wood vanity. Now I have a place in the laundry room where it looks like water got behind the sheetrock and made the paint melt/run. In the process of finding out what caused it and getting it fixed.

Service for my home has been quickly resolved. Customer service has been excellent from the first step into a model home, picking the details, to turning the key in our new home.

The customer service has been amazing. I've had a few very minor things that have needed to be addressed since moving in and they all go above and beyond to make sure the issues were fixed in a very timely manner.

The condensation drain makes a lot of noise. It’s in my closet and you can hear it dripping pretty loudly throughout the living room, hallway, and kitchen. Also, the flower bed was not maintained well before I moved in and as a result, I have lost some plants. Otherwise, I am ecstatic about my purchase. The [name removed] family and my family have been friends for almost 45 years.

They were there every step of the way! From [name removed] showing me the perfect lot, to [name removed] making sure the construction was perfect, to [name removed] making sure I picked the most beautiful features for the house. I truly could not be more pleased with the entire process! This is our second IDEAL home, and although I hope it's finally our forever home, if not, we would not hesitate to buy another IDEAL home!

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.
