Woodside Homes Reviews

At the time when I was purchasing a home, a realtor reached out to us and told us that she had worked with Woodside Homes in the times past, and that they were really great. So, we went to Bluffdale to check it out and really fell in love with not only the location, but also the sales staff that was there and how they built their homes.

My wife and I found a house through Utah Real Estate and it was the first house that we looked at. The rep who helped during the purchase was great. From application to underwriting, that took about a month because we were in the process of getting approved. We then had a quick move-in. Quality-wise, there's a lot of key things where the subcontractors cut corners on that I found annoying. I'm working with the warranty specialists to get it fixed.

We chose Woodside Homes based on the floor plan and availability. The home consultant was very friendly and helpful. The house that we got was already built and we liked the space. We have more backyard than anybody else around here.

I chose the area and the location of where Woodside Homes was at. I like the community. It's gated and it's pretty quiet. I also like the customer service that I get from Woodside. Since it's a new home, we're still under warranty. They listen and they get someone out to fix whatever we have. We call them or make an appointment in the online portal. When we go through the portal, they get back to us within 24 hours, then they find out what the problem is, and they schedule to get someone out to come and fix it. So, the experience has been great. As far as the other three homes that I've bought from builders, this has been the most responsive. I would definitely recommend them to anyone else.

I like the floor plan of the Woodside homes. It met the needs that we needed. I wish that they wouldn't have locked me into what I wanted on the outside before I could go look at what I wanted on the inside. I would have changed some things. I wouldn't have done the tandem windows. I probably wouldn't have done the nine-foot ceilings because I would have rather put the money into a little nicer things inside the home. Once you were done with the outside, you couldn't go back and change it without spending a lot more money. That was kind of a mistake. They should let us look at the whole thing first, and then I would have done things differently if I could. Other than that, our home consultant did okay. We liked him. The customer service team could answer all my questions. Overall, it was a good experience. But I would tell others to be very careful about what they get for the outside of the home before they knew what they were going to get on the inside.

Woodside's model homes were presented a lot nicer than the ones that I've been to. I like the master bedroom, the master bath, and the pantry in my home. Everybody at Woodside was really nice and helpful. If I could, I would do it again.

We purchased the Canyon model from Woodside Homes. We like the capability of it being five bedrooms and three bathrooms. In the initial sales process, the rep could have slowed down just a little bit because I probably would have chosen the bigger model. Once you put your decisions in, even though they haven't started building, you can't go back and change it. I paid additional money to convert a den into another bedroom and bathroom, where for that same price, I could have gotten the bigger model that already had the five bedrooms, plus it would have had a loft space. So, it would have made more sense for me to get the bigger model. But when I was going through the process, we just did it so quickly and then I thought about it afterwards. It was silly.

I've been pleased with Woodside's customer service and the help that I've gotten when I needed it. I saw the floor plans and the pricing and went with them. Overall, the quality is good. I was very happy with the whole process as well.

The models that we saw were the best ones that we actually like. Everything we wanted for our house fit in the model that we bought. I like its open space. The customer service team was really helpful, super friendly, and on top of everything. They took care of everything we needed and directed us to the right direction to make that happen. The contractor was really knowledgeable. He knew everything about the home. Any question we had, he would answer right away. We were really satisfied. We already recommended a couple of friends to Woodside, and they're looking into it. Woodside is really smart, and the homes are built nice and legit, the way they're supposed to be. We were really satisfied.

We were looking for a used home because we thought that a new home would be out of the options and out of our budget. But we stumbled upon Woodside. We fell in love with the house and it was affordable. We jumped on it. The salesman, James, was awesome throughout the whole home-buying process. And we haven't had many issues as far as craftsmanship. There were little things here and there but they were handled correctly. We're happy with the customer service aspect. It's worth it to buy a new home from Woodside. It was an easy experience and I would recommend it to a friend.

The reps did a really good job. They kept us in touch and informed with what was going in the house. They kept sending us pictures of when it was still being built. It was amazing. Woodside was easy to work with and they were professional.

I like the square footage they were offering for large homes, medium homes, and small homes. They were good prices. I got a three-bedroom. It's perfect for myself and my husband. I like the bathroom because it’s a walk-in shower. They gave me a walk-in closet, which was big. It was a split floor plan. I really liked it. It also has a good sized backyard so I got one of the bigger plans. Everything's new. It it cable ready and electric car ready. It has solar. I save a lot of my electricity. I'm amazed by the solar. I really like the area.

The layout is great. I do not find any other builder that I have in this area. The floor plan, the backyard, the side yard, as well as how those rooms were laid out. They built it quite fast. So whatever they promised, they delivered on the day. I'm planning for an investment property in the next year or two and that would be Woodside.

We looked at a bunch of floor plans that we liked. We ended up choosing Woodside because their price was reasonable and we liked the fact that we could customize our home to fit kind of what we wanted it to be. There were other options that were cheaper in general, but we were willing to pay a little bit extra to be able to make our home more of our home rather than a cookie-cutter. We customized the counters, cabinets, and flooring. There were structural modifications that we wanted to make that we were able to do. We love that. We could change lighting if we wanted. They were really easy to work with.

Woodside Homes built a great home. I bought it right when COVID hit, so I understand that there was a certain level of customer service that was lacking that maybe wouldn't have been there otherwise. The walkthrough process was not good. Getting stuff fixed afterwards has been an issue as well. The home builder does it within the first year, but a lot of the stuff that was pointed out wasn't fixed. The solar introduction was a nightmare for me too. There has been a big problem with the solar and I don't know how much is Woodside Homes to blame for it and how much is SunPower. Other than that, Woodside Homes has been very helpful. The salesperson was very friendly and approachable and I really liked the house, the layout and how it looked.

Updated on 11/25/2020: I reviewed Woodside on October 29, 2020 and almost immediately got the stock response that someone would be contacting me to address my concerns. Never happened. I have, however, been told by the latest Woodside representative assigned to our home that “it won’t be perfect, it’s just a production home” (a $480,000 production home), “a lot of your neighbors have the same issues”, “this community is bad”, “I feel sorry for you guys”, and when we stated that we don’t need perfection, we just want what was promised, his actual response was “well I don’t work in sales”. If you want a builder who stands by their product and produces a product equaling the quality the promise at the sales office, choose someone other than Woodside homes.

We were looking for a new project in the area. We did an online search and found Woodside Homes. We really liked the project. We realized how it was coming along, especially the location was close to the area where my work was going to be. It's a brand new house and that's what I like about it. So far, our experience with them has been great and acceptable. If there were any issues, they got back to me in a very timely manner.

My sister lives a mile from Woodside Homes, and we saw the flag. We came in and looked around. I had looked in a lot of different housing tracks and I just fell in love with them. I liked the quality in the house. Heather, the sales rep, was wonderful. When I first bought the house, I bought a Daisy. Heather said, “Well, we have more.” I didn't realize there were more models on the other side of town. I went over, changed my lot, and got the bigger one because I fell in love with it. The landscaping wasn't that great, and it died really fast. It was put in too quickly. But other than that, the purchase process went really well.

I have loved my home! I love the design. Everything flows smoothly. I love the laundry room next to the master. The master bathroom is so big! My pantry is the biggest of any homes I've seen recently! Ben ** and Hunter ** were awesome to work with!

Woodside Homes had better square-footage. Originally, I was gonna stay in Elk Grove but then, the square-footage was like I was buying a small house. To get the best amount for my money, I decided to go to South Sacramento and that was where I bought my first house. I also bought my second house through them. I like the design of their homes and I like the big windows. I don't like houses that have small windows. I noticed KB Homes and I hate the construction of their houses. They look like they were thrown up. Even though they are a bigger company than Woodside Homes, their houses are crap. So, comparing them now, I like the way Woodside Homes look. They're pretty decent houses. Whoever the builder is, they do love windows.

We chose Woodside because it was an RV community. We purchased some of the minor upgrades, kitchen stuff, and it was a good experience. Overall, it was easy, seamless, and simple.

We were looking for a house and we drove through the area of Manteca, California. We saw this house and we didn't know it was from Woodside or not because at that time, the site was already sold out and they were just selling their model houses. So we pretty much walked in and fell in love with the house. The curvature of the home really got the our attention. The type of things that are in the house gives it a beautiful flow. The colors and the overall design of the house is beautiful. Their customer service is amazing and very kind. Pretty much any time that we've had any kind of issues, they've been pretty on top of helping us out.

Frank over at Paloma Ranch was awesome. He was very professional. The big size lots and RV parking made us purchase from them. We got nothing but good experience.

We were driving around the neighborhood and came across the builders. We liked the design of the house that's why I went and purchased. What sold me was the layout of the plan which was an open floor one. The home buying process was good and easy. I liked that they kept me informed on every step of the way. The customer service was good too. The superintendent comes around and asks a lot of questions on what we need even to this date. It's been over a year and he's still around. If he can help in any way, he does.

I was looking for nine feet ceilings and many popular vendors are just focusing on eight feet. Lennar was giving nine feet even in the second floor, but it was a bit expensive. Woodside Homes was also a bit expensive that time but luckily in March, they gave a good offer. That drove me into them and they are a great builder. I have a good experience with them. They are all professional. Their websites are very good and their financial approval process is much more quicker than I thought. I have no issues in whatever they suggested and whatever they promised in their catalog. The only thing is the home warranty they give is just one year. If it is little bit like two years, that'll be excellent. That will be good for them in the long run.

Woodside worked with our schedules and the sales agent, Nancy, was always available. She would take my calls if I ever have questions and so would Tom. The process of getting the notary over towards the end could've been better. That was kinda short notice. We ended up having to meet this poor gentleman super late and then he had to come back the next day to our house because we forgot to sign something. Other than that, everything was good.

As a first time buyer, I was trying to educate and familiarize myself with all the costs to help plan and stay within a certain budget but felt the inspiration gallery was only available after signing agreement and paying deposit. Only after signing I am able to view the prices of the options and was surprised how high some of them are, which is very frustrating and I felt a sense of being duped.

I made an appointment to speak to someone at the Sky View Homes in Menifee. Due to Covid it is mandatory to make an appointment. We showed up 5-10 minutes early and the person we were meant to talk to was with another couple. No problem, we went and toured the homes. 20 mins later we return for our appointment but the person was still occupied. The office person/greeter? Was apologetic and attempted to answer questions... we wait, and it’s now 2:30 (original appointment was for 2:00) and she comes out with this couple and asks if we need anything. I let her know we were there for our 2:00 appointment and she was shocked/dismissive until the office lady confirms. She lets me know she’s on her way out with this couple to show them a house.... asks if that’s ok. Not that I had an option, then hands us back to the office lady who attempts to answer questions but ultimately had no answers.

When we were trying to find a house, we wanted a quick move in and Woodside Homes was the only one in this community. They did a pretty good job and buying from them was easy because we didn't have any loan, so it was fast. They also built the house really fast but after we moved in, there was some crack on the bathtub and in some small area on the wall. They need to fix a little bit of a hole there.

Woodside should know they've got a good employee in Jannah. They shouldn't let her go. She was the one that I worked with the majority of the time. There was an issue before we closed that I felt could’ve been handled better and she was the one trying to keep me from jumping off the ledge at times. She kept us hanging on when I felt at one point we were being strung along. When we decided that we were gonna sell our home and go for this home at Woodside, the contingency restriction was that we had 30 days to sell our house or else they wouldn't go into contract with us. I knew that wouldn't be a problem because our home was in a desirable area. In fact, our home sold in three days. But the superintendent on this job focused on all the other homes, to get them completed. We bought a model home and even though it was finished and there was really no deadline to meet in getting someone in it, we were held up.

The location is pretty close to where we lived so we saw the models being built. So we talked to our agent and brought her to introduce us to the sales agent there at the model homes. We worked with Katie a little bit but Kimberly was the agent for the community we bought in and they were both excellent. The only real issue we ended up having was that our house wasn't actually painted the color we thought it was gonna be painted on the inside. Somehow, we all missed it. It was supposed to be a pretty light gray anyway and my wife and I talked ourselves into the fact that it's really less noticeable than we thought. But when we finally got a touch-up canister of the paint and then touched something up on the wall, we were like, “Oh, our house isn't painted.” But we were able to resolve that with Kim and with the building team.

We like our home. There are a few areas where the floor feels uneven and there are little lines in the carpet here and there but it's just stuff that I could nitpick on all day. I'm happy with it for the most part. I also added a reverse osmosis system and a water softener to the house. I went with Woodside because a friend of mine said they were very good and produced a very good product, and I thought it was a decent experience to go through. They met the expectations of what I had to put in there. I just wish they could have been a little more above and beyond as far as trying to be more proactive with things rather than letting me inquire about everything.

We liked the location of Woodside Homes and working with them was awesome. It was easy, clear, very simple and very organized. I work for a homebuilder myself, so I'm very familiar with the process. They made it a lot less stressful than it can be and Tiffany, our sales agent, was great. She was wonderful and we were very confident and very comfortable with her. She addressed any concerns that came up, but there weren't very many issues along the process. When I did have them, she was readily available and was very responsive.

When I purchased my home, the communication could have been better between my realtor and the sales office to Woodside. I learned about them from my realtor and from the start of the process, I was told that certain floor plans would be available to view but they weren't. So it was kind of more like, "Use your imagination." Thankfully, I am in the industry of multifamily construction so it wasn't that big of a deal for me, but I imagine for a less experienced buyer, it would have been an issue. But other than the lack of communication during the buying process, it was pretty uneventful in a good way.

We bought the home that was built by Woodside. We like the area more than the house but we had the best purchasing experience. The Woodside agent that we had was awesome and we absolutely loved her. She was patient with us and was understanding the troubles that we went through selling our previous home. We've had zero negative things to say about Woodside and even now, the customer service rep that we worked with has been great. She listens well and is always willing to come out and check on us.

Somebody let us know that Woodside Homes was building in this area and we drove up. We took a look at some of the models even before they were open. We saw them building them and we met with Kim. They had her in a little trailer out there. We talked to her several times and she showed us the different models that will be available. We kept in touch with her, came up here several times and we looked at different lots, which was great.

I purchased my Woodside home back in 2006 in Victorville, CA at the Braeburn community. Woodside Homes was actually recommended to me by a Kaufman & Broad site sells agent (go figure). I purchased the Plan 3 with the craftsman elevation. The office sells agents, Cindy and Carrolyn were excellent. They made my purchase a very easy, fun and enjoyable process. I literally watched my home from being a marker stick (Lot **) in the dirt to a big beautiful well build dream home. I remember after I moved in, I had a problem with one of the two a/c units. I walked down to the sells office and told them and they IMMEDIATELY sent someone out to correct the problem. I no longer live in my Woodside home but God knows I surely do miss the ol’ beauty. You won’t be sorry with Woodside on your side!

My sister-in-law was looking to buy a home. She showed us where she was looking at and we kinda jumped into that, too. We had a great buying experience and Woodside's rep, Tonya, was very helpful. She explained a lot of stuff to us. It was our first time buying, so we were a little skeptical about everything. She showed us all the homes and we saw the whole community around here where we live. We liked the Woodside one compared to some of the other ones we saw and so far, we pretty much like everything about our new home. I love all the bedrooms that we have and things are great here. I also feel that we got a good deal on the house because Tonya added a bunch of appliances that we didn't have to pay for. Plus, I didn't really have to pay a down payment. I just put down $2,500 and I got my money back on most of my stuff.

Woodside's sales reps were pretty transparent and everything was upfront. They were also willing to do whatever we needed. So far, the quality of our home is good and love the kitchen as well as the bonus room.

We were looking for a bigger house. We wanted a five or six-bedroom home and other companies didn't offer that. But that was what Woodside Homes was offering us, so we chose them. Our sales consultant was good and everything in the house is so nice. It looks like good people live in it. But there were a couple of things that we didn’t like with Woodside and the home was a little bit expensive. And for the value we paid, we’re not happy with our front yard. They just put a little bit of grass on it and I can’t say it’s discrimination, but other houses have more grass at the front. In the subdivision we’re living in, their house are so nice and the front yard of the big houses are so nice. But our front yard looks like it's for poor people. Now we have to hire somebody to do the job again and it will cost us almost $6,000 just to grass our front yard.
