Beazer Homes

In order to comply with zoning there has to be a certain number of parking spaces overall. So, the buildings first built have the most parking spaces and the remaining set of 3 buildings got the remainder. Absolutely every day all of the parking spaces are taken. Guests, family, and friends don't have any space... These residents are parking on the sidewalks, on the sides of the lot. Due to the failure of beazer to implement sufficient parking spaces; this is a major war zone! At every community meeting; the parking problem is the most debated and heated topic. The first buildings have the extra, plenty of parking spaces needed for the last 3 buildings. If we knew of the parking ahead of time; we would not buy here. Further, we saw the master building layout that beazer is not honoring with the promised shopping center.

The Beazer mortgage broker was awful to deal with. Fortunately, I had a wonderful real estate agent who didn't let Beazer bully me in that department since it was all new to me. The HVAC installer didn't use any PVC cement on the 90 degree elbow where the air conditioner condensation pipe drains out of the house. Over time, the joint became loose and all the condensation began draining inside one of my bedroom walls. I didn't realize it until I moved a piece of furniture and found a huge area of fuzzy mold on the wall. I had to strip the whole wall open and found black mold everywhere. The gas was never turned on, and unfortunately was not caught by the independent inspector I hired. I have gas heat, so it got pretty cold in the house before I could get this fixed.

The flashing around the fireplace was done incorrectly and leaked for years. I didn't know it until I opened up the wall to install a Murphy bookcase and found water stains and corrosion all over. Oh, and I found a hoodie laying right on top of the back of the fireplace behind the drywall, covering the holes next to a sign that says "do not cover these holes, fire hazard." I thank God that my house did not burn down as I have had dozens of fires in that fireplace before I found that sweatshirt!

My driveway cracked significantly, most likely from settling resulting from improper packing of the fill dirt that was brought in. I could literally go on and on, there are so many details missed...holes that were drilled in the wrong places that were sloppily filled (that I missed at the final walk through), stains in the carpet from a worker spilling a can of soda on it, cracks in the concrete subfloor (and I live in a heavy subterranean termite area), poor paint jobs, and on and on. It's pretty shocking, really. I've become very good at doing repairs myself as this buying experience has led me to trust no one and knowing I will do a better job than someone who doesn't give a **, like Beazer.

Also, make sure you ask which fireplace you’re going to to get before you spend $2,800 on the stacked stone. They might install a ventless fireplace which allows all of the heat to escape and go straight up the wall and burn out your tv. Because it’s stacked stone, they don’t install a mantle like they do on other fireplace surroundings without stacked stone. The model unit shows a vented fireplace that allows the heat to be vented outside the house to prevent these issues and we were unaware that they offered anything different than shown in the model. God forbid you have to deal with the warranty department because they take zero ownership. I will never buy a beazer home again.

WARNING go somewhere else with your money. Beazer is not the company for you especially if something goes wrong in your life and you asked for your deposit back. When I signed the contract I told the agent I did not have my glasses. I’m 65. He said, "Oh it’s nothing, the only way you wouldn’t get your your money back is financially." Well it was financially because the loan never did come to fruition so we never closed. Oh don’t worry I’m going to expound on the loan company too. Beazer does not give a damn about you especially if you are not the elite people that they want in their homes.

Now, just 24 hours ago, during a heavy rainfall, our smoke detectors were activated, and upon checking the house, I discovered water pouring out of one of my smoke detectors. We contacted Beazer, and as usual they did not want to help, and we were told they were not going to send out a roofing company to inspect and repair the problem. I just want to say that if I could give Beazer a zero star rating I would, and I cannot believe they are still in business.

Originally they tell you that you can make design choices and back out anytime and get your money back. Well they just tell you that to cheat you out of 1k. They tend to buy large amounts of land instead of little by little so they are taking a big risk which is why they cheat you out your money and tell you anything to get you to sign. Me and my wife were very excited about the home. I wish I came to this site first. Seeing so many people get cheated means the company is no good! That's why they can afford to take risk is because they take your money, tell you that you can get it back with no issues, then say "oh well you cancelled it so you can't get your money back." Don't believe their lies! Although the Ryan Homes don't look as good that are right next door, they have a better experience. Buy from the other builders in the area. Same amenities in parkside.

I am trying to get out of the contract and get my earnest money refunded but they are only willing to entertain this if I sign a document that simply states "Buyer's Remorse" as the reason and then there is still no guarantee my $5,500 will be refunded. The sales VP will not return phone calls or emails from my realtor and their sales person who never even stepped outside the model home to show us the development is flat out being dishonest. I honestly can't believe that they can get away with false advertising on so many real-estate platforms when they well know that the home being advertised is not what you can actually buy and this is not at all disclosed upfront.
