Very disappointed with the construction of this house.. Quality Control was terrible/. Covered electrical outlets(several)we took photo's of framing and electrical and plumbing in stages, water leaks inside walls, doors that will not close (slowly swing open by themselves, hinge pins missing), shelves in cabinets NOT level and falling away from wall, paid for upgrade carpet, received cheap grade and hollow spots under wood flooring, insulation in walls upstairs constantly falling down, bathtub fixture loose and wobbly, recessed ceiling light fixtures falling down, I could go on?. We sent registered, certified letters to D R Horton office advising and requesting them to remedy these problems.. We NEVER received a single reply:. During the final inspection we were unaware that we had to shake every tub fixture and open and close every door or inspect every cabinet for junk construction'. We will NEVER purchase another D R Horton home again". Buyer BEWARE...

I purchased a brand new home in October 2010. As soon as the weather changed, the windows had and still have an unusually large amount of condesation. Mr. Kropp with DR Horton came to my home in December and said that due to the paint being new, that would cause some condensation and that it would get better over time. After he looked at how severe it was he did make the comment that is was a little more than normal and that they would monitor it.

It is now February 10, 2011 and the problem has only stayed the same or gotten worse in some rooms. Window seals are now molding. My bathroom wooden seal is startin to show separation because of the condensation being so great that it puddles in the left side of the window about 3 inches wide.

I placed another customer warranty complaint and Mr. Kropp decided to rescend on fixing my porch rails, my broken bathroom tile and only stated that these things along with the window condensation problem is not covered under warranty. This informtion was given to me by a customer service rep name Gayle since he could not call me himself with this change of information. I did ask for him to call me about this since she had nothing to do with it. I believe she told him and I am still waiting to hear from him.

The manufacturer of the windows is General Aluminum. R U HAVING THIS PROBLEM? PLEASE LET ME KNOW. I have pictures that I can email to anyon wanting to see the problem...HELP!! DR Horton won't!

D.R. Horton, "America's Homebuilder" builds poorly constructed and finished homes. Period. They were sued by our neighborhood for installing inadequate water barriers and siding in the PNW, where it rains a third of the year. The siding/vapor barrier was replaced on each home at DR Horton's expense. I will never buy another house built by D.R. Horton.

I am currently upgrading most of the hardware throughout my home, and I'm quickly discovering that DR Horton furnishes their builds with whatever was on sale that day. Hardware is mismatched throughout the house - brass doorknobs, pewter (and horrendous) lights, chrome faucets.

The plumbing is despicable. They installed Pex tubing with a manifold located in the downstairs storage closet. They did not bother to install on/off valves at the sinks and toilets. That means you have to empty the storage closet to get to the individual valves on the manifold. The manifold they installed uses cheap plastic valves that freeze over time, making it impossible to turn off the water. The penetrations in the drywall are sloppy, grossly over-sized and are not lined up with the fixtures.

The fixtures they furnished are cheap and poorly installed. The light fixtures in the bathrooms are off-center be several inches, which means that when the homeowner (me) wants to upgrade the mirror, light, and faucet nothing lines up. The pedestal sink in the powder room is off-center several inches, as is the toilet. The pedestal sink is a two-piece design (base and bowl), and the bowl is not even close to being level.

The cabinets are flimsy, cheap, and ugly. I decided to cover the ugly honey-maple cabinets with white paint, but quickly realized this is like putting lipstick on a pig. The cabinet doors do not line up. The cabinets are made from MDF and some other imitation wood. The center of the doors are 1/8" thick. The tile used in the bathrooms and kitchen are ugly - off-white with a hint of peach. All of this will need to be replaced at some point.

I was a first time home buyer. I was in search for a new home. I looked outside of the houston area where dr horton offers a good selection of nice new homes. I entered the model home to be greeted by the sales rep. We looked over floor plans. I found one I liked, I told him I would be very interested in this floor plan. I had already seen the inside at another community.Asked that he contacted me in the next couple of days, you know just a follow up maybe talk financing or see if I made a decesion. I never received any form of contact from the sales rep, not even a email.I guess the rep. thought I couldnt buy or get approved for a loan. Well I ended up buying a all brick home with a different builder, and had no problems getting approved.I was just kinda suprised that I never received a follow up call from the rep.

DR HORTON has been an absolute nightmare for my family. Imagine this, we moved into our so called new home in July 2004. We thought it was a great price for the size but we did not know any better. On our 30 day warranty, our hardwood floors started to rise off of the floor do to moisture. We were told that there was no moisture. Well one month later black mould appeared in the same area. They came out to so call fix it ripped up my floors in that one area and claimed that the problem was fixed. Of course 2 months later we noticed that not only in the same area was problems that all over the house the floors were rough and moisture was getting in. they came back out again ripped up my floors all over the house and patched them back up. Think I am finished, yeah right. We happened to go to our third floor that we do not frequent often, and guess what. Leaky roof and water and caved in the ceiling. One of the outside pipes was never insulated to water was accumulating in the ceiling and we did not know until it caved in. Yes they had to rip my ceiling out and make another mess. Oops back to the floors. Of course about 4 months later floors peeling and of course I am crazy. Opps forgot to tell you that I had hot water coming out of my toilet and outside faucets due to faulty plumbing. The list goes on and on. They suck. In addition to going through all of this mess with DR HORTON, we have a daughter with cancer.
