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.

The [name removed] team and entire process is customer focused at every step. Highlights were the structural options, low voltage, design center, and closing process. The binder and cooler were a big hit. The [name removed] team is approachable, listens and accommodating to customer needs.

"We’ve just completed our third new build in Texas, and I can confidently say Giddens Homes is top-tier. From the start, [name removed] in the sales office treated us like family; his expertise was invaluable as he kept us updated on market shifts and incentives throughout our six-month search. Once we made the decision to purchase, [name removed] took the reins, ensuring every detail was perfect for our final walkthrough. Having worked in the home building industry myself, I was incredibly impressed by the build quality. Even my HVAC contractor noted it was one of the cleanest builds he’s ever seen. We are thrilled with our decision and highly recommend Giddens Homes to anyone in the market."

The list of what was standard and what was an option was constantly changing, which caused confusion. However, our sales manager, [name removed], and builder, [name removed], helped clarify throughout the process. Additionally, not having an idea of the selections/options available to us prior to entering the design center made it difficult to be efficient and overwhelming on the day of design selection. Despite this, [name removed] went out of his way throughout the process to accommodate our requests. He also took pictures throughout the process to keep us up to date on the build. [name removed] was very prompt in response to any of our concerns/questions and worked hard to make sure the quality of the build was up to our standard.

The experience has been very disappointing we have had a lot of problems and the only response is “ I have to get in front of the powers of be “ for some reason it’s been three month and they can’t find them . So all the problems we are having is still in limbo until they can find the powers to be. It was a lot of money and it all I got was a problem.

Every part of our experience with [name removed]’s employees was amazing. The kind family feel couldn’t be beat. The process from beginning to end with the commitment and communication was beyond expectations. I didn’t worry about anything knowing everyone was on top of it. I can’t thank everyone enough for their experience in building a beautiful home. Just amazing!

Liked the valued expert input at every stage of the process to guide us along. Enjoyed the ability to customized most features on our list of preferences. Impressed by the speed of the build. Generally content with the outcome of the home. Disliked the many (big and small) QA misses. Disliked the selection process without ability to visualize outcome based on a small sample to chose from and lack of accuracy from selection to documentation. Had to spend an inordinate amount of time to detect errors and callout oversights (example: $20k + in change order credits that were missed, difference in quoted price for metal roof without explanation)

[name removed] has been on top of addressing standard issues. We purchased a home from Brohn Homes a few years ago and it took that builder a year to take care of what [name removed] took care of in a week. Appreciated.

Their combined efforts made the entire experience enjoyable and hassle-free. What I disliked most: Honestly, there wasn’t much to dislike. Any minor issues I encountered were quickly resolved, thanks to [name removed]’s dedication and [name removed]’s attentiveness.

It was a spec home so we didn’t experience the build process but everyone was extremely helpful during our search and purchase.

They very thorough and always available. Most builders don't want you talking to the building manager too much and [name removed] was there every step of the way and always open to meeting at the house to talk about things. Build was great so it was usually ideas and questions that arise once you start building and can actually see everything that you don't see on paper.
