D.R. Horton Complaints Mount: How Contractors Can Learn From These Mistakes

AvoidMistakes

D.R. Horton is known as “America’s Builder,” but a lot of homeowners aren’t feeling the love. Across the country, customers who have bought new homes from D.R. Horton are dealing with massive problems. They feel unsafe in their own homes and the issues are taking a huge financial toll. On top of that, the builder has been unresponsive to homeowners’ concerns. The lack of communication and accountability have caused homeowners to become fed up.

Homeowners are calling their homes “time bombs,” with one homeowner saying that the builder has left a “very bad taste in my mouth.”

Complaints and lawsuits against D.R. Horton have been investigated since May. Homeowners have complained that their homes are practically falling apart, despite inspectors signing off on them just before moving in. Many homeowners have experienced issues right away, with one homeowner lamenting, “I’ve never had the house that I paid for.”

The complaints related to D.R. Horton’s homes are widespread. Dozens of homeowners all over the country have shared their experiences, from states such as Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Texas, California, Nevada, and Arizona.

A man in Georgia purchased his D.R. Horton home in 2019. Right after moving in, he noticed issues with the air conditioning not working, as well as bent nails everywhere, defective plywood, and hundreds of maggots in the trash left by construction workers. He discussed the situation with D.R. Horton and his warranty provider and D.R. Horton, but nothing changed and he was forced to fix the problems with money out of his own pocket. Many of his neighborhoods faced similar issues and ended up selling their homes to get out.

In Sarasota, Florida, a woman moved into her D.R. Horton home in 2022. Her problems began almost immediately with major structural problems inside the home. There was mold inside the home and incorrect materials were used. D.R. Horton attempted to fix some of these problems. The builder began repairs and construction, but never returned, so she is now left with an almost uninhabitable home. She has been fighting with the builder for more than two years now.

A man moved into his D.R. Horton home in Texas in 2020. Within the first 24 hours, there was already an issue. His wife fell down the new home’s stairs because they were uneven. She had to see a medical specialist. The couple eventually sold their home due to all the issues.

A man bought his dream home in Las Vegas, only for it to be filled with construction debris. There were also leaks in the walls and paint everywhere. He claims that everything was in bad condition. He tried communicating with D.R. Horton to fix the mistakes, but to no avail. He has now hired a lawyer to help.

So what can be done? When dealing with problems involving a multibillion-dollar homebuilder, homeowners may have to turn to their subcontractors or government agencies for relief.
