They actively misrepresent their homes and landscaping on their site photos! The home I visited DOES NOT have mature trees, or a fence of any kind behind the townhouse. Instead, there is A CONSTRUCTION LOT full of exposed pipes, a massive construction dumpster. It looks like they have years of construction to go before this community will be complete? The current view is the CMS BUS LOT in the front, and construction in the back. OMG.

I went under contract with David Weekley at Encore at Chatham Park to build a Carroway in the Vista section at 39 Englehardt Court. During the pre-drywall inspection, my inspector found 54 issues, of which 18 were still not resolved upon re-inspection. According to the report, at least six were not compliant with specific sections of the 2018 North Carolina Residential Code, while others did not meet manufacturing installation specifications. One glaring example related to the weather resistant barrier (WRB). According to the chief consultant on code with the North Carolina Department of Insurance, an improperly sealed WRB can result in moisture penetrating the wall assembly, potentially leading to rot, mold, and deterioration of the wood framing of the home, thereby “causing a home to deteriorate rapidly over time.” The inspection report also noted the excessive waviness in the James Hardie siding that could “affect the integrity of the cladding assembly over time.” The James Hardie warranty requires that the fiber cement siding be installed according to the manufacturer’s specifications. According to the production manager for a local James Hardie approved installer and repairer of its siding products, wavy siding can be the result of dimensional differential studs, a too tight installation that causes the planks to bow out, or an incorrect nail pattern, among other installation issues. Other non-resolved issues included missing rigid foam insulation at turndown footings, a horizontal 1/8” crack running from one side of the building to the other, numerous hairline slab cracks, cracks in the foundation where the interior crack ended, and roof gusset repairs rated for specific load thresholds. Once the reports were submitted to David Weekley, there was considerable pushback on completing the repairs due to “our building process and building schedules.” It seemed that quantity over quality was a big concern for the builder, especially given the aggressive time schedule for these homes. At numerous points, the builder’s project manager on-site kept asking if I “trusted him to build me a beautiful home,” and that I should have confidence that the rips and tears in the WRB had been fixed during the installation of the siding. Yet, he refused to provide either written confirmation or digital photographs that these repairs had been completed as required by code. Instead of working with me and actually doing what they were supposed to do based on NC residential building code requirements and manufacturer specifications, David Weekley simply cancelled my contract based on a pre-dispute clause, stating that the contract was being cancelled due to their inability to resolve various disputes over the construction of the home (for example, pushbacks on completing repairs based on code and/or manufacturer requirements documented in inspection reports). In addition, they falsely asserted that there were unauthorized visits to the construction site, even though their protocol was followed by informing them of several visits and receiving a hardhat both times from the sales team. A flimsy and false excuse for not building to standards. This is not the action of a builder concerned for the integrity of the home or truly caring about the homeowner, who has to deal with structural issues in the future. Would strongly recommend not using this builder! Recommendation: Do not build with David Weekley. If you do build with them, critical to use an experienced and thorough independent inspector.

Terrible experience getting them to honor warranty items. They promised to fix the driveway with big cracks now with recent changes in mgt they are saying they will not do so.

I used to work for David Weekley Homes and loved the product and the people I worked alongside. I believed in the homes we were building, so much so that I purchased one myself. But my experience took a painful turn. I was terminated from my position the day before closing on my own David Weekley home—a home I had spent months preparing for emotionally, financially, and professionally. There was no warning, no support, and no explanation that made sense. Shortly after, I learned false information was being shared internally about why I was let go. To make matters worse, I was not paid the commission on the final home I sold. I want to be clear: there are great people at David Weekley Homes, and the homes themselves are beautiful. But what happened to me was deeply disappointing and left me questioning the values the company claims to uphold—especially when it comes to how they treat their own team members and honor their commitments. If you’re considering buying or working with David Weekley Homes, I recommend asking questions and paying attention not just to the product—but to how people are treated behind the scenes.

Good afternoon, I would like to express my dissatisfaction with my recent experience purchasing a home in Colorado Springs. I feel that I am being given the runaround regarding my transaction. My realtor and I were verbally informed by the listing agent that we could either receive a discount or benefit from their 4.99% financing offer. I submitted an offer of $675,000 along with a refrigerator, which the seller accepted. However, when I went to provide my earnest money and sign the contract, the listing agent had added a clause stating that I was required to use David Weekley Finance in exchange for the discount on the home. This financing option has the highest interest rate. Additionally, I noticed that they are offering a $4,000 decorating allowance to 'hometown heroes,' but I was told I could not access this benefit because the agent claimed I had already received a discount, which he classified as an incentive. However, the discount I received was not part of any promotion they are currently offering.

They are just terrible builder! Windows and sealing leaking and they don’t take any responsibility!

Put a deposit on a home. Had a job loss. David Weekly would not return the deposit despite the job loss. Hid behind what they could do legally vs the right moral/ethical decision in our personal turbulent times. Would never again consider David Weekly for one of their homes and hope you don’t either. In addition their “custom homes” are highly controlled through their design centers and vendors who supply the design centers. The selection advertised was often not available. Ie custom was misleading in terms of true customization.
