I used to love DR Horton and have built several homes over…read morethe past 20 years with them. Now as a realtor , I recommend the builder but will say the quality of the their homes has changed and not for the better. Customer service needs to be more important to them as the clients paying for the homes should be priority especially when they are paying over the home prices and getting less standard features than I dis with my first home built in 2003.

If I had known how bad DR Horton homes were I would have never purchased! So this home is actually…read morein Citrus Springs not Orlando. While many contractors have lawsuits I figured as long as I did my due diligence and had the home inspected as well as understood that I was buying a home on an empty lot so my taxes were going to go up, I would be okay because their homes were beautiful! However, even after all that and having the home inspected, I still have tons of construction quality issues. You can definitely tell they took as many shortcuts and did everything as cheap as possible! And Of course you don't find those issues until after you move in the home. Even doing the walk-through of your rushed to hurry up and do it because the construction crew leader doesn't wanna waste the time discussing things with you about the home. They say they give you a sheet to go through and mark everything that's wrong with it so they can fix it before closing but your rush through so fast you can't possibly see everything. Wow they do offer a warranty after you close on the home. It takes forever to get responses which really makes me angry concerning. I got a hole in my roof! I even checked with my home inspector to find out how it could've been missed and find out that DR Horton wouldn't even let them on the roof so they couldn't inspect the roof. The other issues didn't get caught by the inspection either. Probably because the color of the home it wasn't so noticeable, but since I had the home repainted, you definitely could tell and see the issues. I had to reread my report and of course it's there with a clause stating they couldn't get on the roof. So now I have a hole in the roof. Another issue is the transition from carpeting to LVP flooring. They do not put any type of transition strips so your carpet will frey. 3rd issue the doorways are not installed correctly. The painters realize this when they were painting the bottoms were wider, and as they got to the top of the door doorway, it narrowed so much they couldn't even get a paintbrush between the two doorways. 4th issue no one noticed when the house was a light gray that in the front entrance doorway if you look up, the white piece is slanted upward they literally did not measure to make sure it was straight. 5th issue the windows have some kind of cook all around them so when I had the house painted, they didn't want to scrape it off. They didn't even know what it was. 6th the door seals were not installed correctly and I'm missing part of it on the front door 7th they did a crappy job. Drywalling didn't even bother smoothing things out so when the painters painted there's chunks everywhere. 8th they left big holes in my yard that never got filled in from the utilities 9th they half ass painted the concrete by the front door, as well as the walls in the home a super thin coat, which was ridiculous 10. They don't include any gutters on these homes. That is something you have to purchase separately, which is how we found out there was a hole in the roof. This is what happens when you buy a new construction home buy a builder that does not allow you to pick anything because it's a pre-styled home not to mention a large corporation that's in a rush to hurry up build and sell. Their crew leaders and project managers are garbage and don't care they are just worried about their bonus which the guy told us he doesn't get unless we close on the home. So obviously that's all he cared about. So my suggestion is....while their homes look beautiful on the outside the quality and craftsmanship is cheap and horrible! This was supposed to be our forever home because we are retired and did not want to move ever again until our death, unfortunately, it's costing a good chunk of money out of our retirement to fix everything that should've been done right in the first place. The reason we bought this home was because it was $100,000 cheaper than buying on the East Coast of Florida by Jacksonville, it was in a rural area, and it did not have an HOA and CDD so it made it more attractive. You're damned if you do and you're damned if you don't since no one cares about the quality of work anymore. They only care about the mighty dollar in their pocket and how quickly they can get something done to move onto the next project.

Just today, I had a FedEx letter that was left in an Amazon locker with no code to access it. I called Amazon, FedEx, and the original carrier, but no one was able to help. I was very upset because it was sensitive information, and I needed the letter that day. Hannah, Luz, and Katerin literally dropped everything they were doing, and did not rest until they were able to access the locker that held my package. This is my first time living in an apartment in over 30 years, and I could not have made a better choice.

We were never asked a budget or what we were looking for. But we're told multiple times that we should just break our current lease and buy now...why? Because according to the sales agent, their fiscal year ends May 31st. Told on her self there. The homes themselves were very nice and we definitely considered what life would look like if we bought one while touring. Upon coming back to the sales office, our agent reviewed pricing and pushed a larger, more expensive home we didn't even go see. Mind you, she added an extra 0 into one of the numbers which skyrocketed the monthly quote she gave us (which she didn't catch until we had driven home). When we finally gave her our monthly budget she said we were unrealistic. Yet remove that extra zero and it would have in fact been pretty close. She really discredited herself multiple time and I had no confidence in her even if we were to move forward. We ultimately didn't because lake Nona was not the right fit but I would have asked for a new more trustworthy sales rep.

POOR QUALITY! We…read morepurchased a brand-new home in Meridian Park just one month ago, and we're already dealing with serious issues. One of the AC units suddenly began making a loud noise. When we inspected it, we found that the fan had come off and damaged the unit, creating a hole. It began overheating and leaking refrigerant. The technician who came the next day was shocked--he said he had never seen anything like this in his career. He confirmed the refrigerant was leaking and that the damage was significant. Despite this, the only solution the warranty team and AC company are offering is to replace parts of the unit. For a brand-new home, this is unacceptable. The unit already has physical damage and will likely lead to corrosion and more problems down the line. To make things worse, they now claim that the parts needed are on backorder. It is hard to understand how these homes are being built and sold at such a rapid pace, yet they cannot provide a functioning AC unit--or even the replacement parts in a timely manner. We are asking for what's fair: a completely new AC unit for a new home. We should not have to settle for patched-up equipment and delayed fixes. This has been incredibly frustrating and disappointing, and not the experience we expected when purchasing a new construction home.

Last year, when I had a major roof leak, I attempted contacting them, as the leak was due to improper installation, where no flashing had been installed as is required at a roof overhang. $8k in repairs later that I had to endure because they wouldn't respond to calls or emails and I didn't want to go through the hassle and expense of a lawsuit. A 10 year defect warranty is only good if the builder will abide by it.
