  Build a new home

  $1,600,000

  Building a home can be both exciting and challenging, but our experience with Homes by Dickerson made it enjoyable from start to finish. Our journey began in January 2024 when we partnered with Peter Winkler, an independent real estate agent who helped us choose the perfect lot and floor plan. His expertise and understanding of our vision were invaluable in creating a design that met all our needs. Once the plan was set, we entered the interior design phase. Homes by Dickerson's structured process gave us confidence, and we were fortunate to work with Katherine Trogdon and Chad Hutton. With her meticulous attention to detail, Katherine guided us through selecting flooring, cabinetry, and finishes, ensuring every element matched our style. As we moved into construction, Chad, the on-site superintendent, kept us informed with weekly updates and addressed issues quickly, including a last-minute design change we requested. He expertly coordinated with third-party vendors, ensuring the highest standards were maintained. Chad and Katherine made the entire process enjoyable with their collaborative approach. They carefully listened to our ideas and seamlessly integrated them with their expertise, creating a cohesive design that brought our vision to life. If you're planning to build your dream home in the Carolinas, we highly recommend Homes by Dickerson. Their experience and commitment to quality will make your vision a reality.

  Build a house

  Our experience building a home with Homes by Dickerson was an absolute nightmare. We’ve never posted about it or all of the issue we’ve had since moving in, but this latest issue is too much to ignore. This review is based on our firsthand experience and our opinion of HBD, their processes, and the ownership experience. They were wonderful until they got our deposit and that’s when things completely changed. They were arrogant and very difficult to work with – everything was a fight. It was exhausting and stressful. Not only was the build process terrible, but the quality of the home hasn’t been to the level we expected and HBD takes no responsibility for their negligence. The latest in a long list of problems we’ve had since moving into our home is that the shower liner wasn’t installed correctly in our owner’s suite. Over time, this has caused water damage to the celling in our breakfast nook. Two of our neighbors with the same floorplan have had the exact same problem. Since the issue didn’t present during the brief warranty period, HBD’s response to our request to fix it was, "we do not deem this matter to fall within our responsibility." So, they don't take any responsibility for their negligence in not making sure their plumbing contractor installed the shower liner correctly? No inspection would have uncovered this issue after the tile was laid. I’m not allowed enough characters to list all of our issues, but some of the highlights: during our build we had to threaten legal action just to get HBD to build the house according to the agreed upon plans and our contract. These were things that were in writing & signed off on by HBD. Within 5.5 years of being in our home, both HVAC systems failed and had to be replaced. We’ve had to remove multiple beautiful, mature trees due to issues with how our lot was graded, per an arborist. We’ve had to replace appliances, exhaust fans, windows, and the fireplace insert. These issues are not unique to our house either. Many of our neighbors have had the same or similar issues. Our small neighborhood is exclusively HBD homes. If you are thinking of building with HBD, I would strongly encourage you to build with someone else, or buy an HBD home that is at least 10 years old so that way the original owners have had time to identify and fix HBD’s negligent mistakes.
