Fossil Creek At Westridge

We were close to buying a house and we were promised a bunch of items. When we were getting ready to write an offer the sales lady advised us there would be extra charges for a lot of things that were thrown in for free.
We wanted wood flooring and we were told we couldn’t because all the materials were ordered 6 months in advance. Then we were told that no flooring was ordered but we could not get wood anyway.
There was an error in the Floorplan that she advised us she would not charge because it was there error. …then she told us we’d have to pay.
My wife and I have built several houses and the red flags here were too numerous to count. …my advice. …stay away! !!!

My advice is to first shop around if you are looking to move to McKinney just to compare different home builders If you are looking for a family friendly neighborhood, this place is great. The sales agents at the time we signed our first contract fibbed about some of the amenities that would be in this neighborhood so that’s been a little disappointing. Our expectations on building a new home were very real even if it was in a lower price range and not a custom home. As expected with the ground shifting, after six months our home has cracks in the tile and sheet rock but they did fix them right away. We also have the 11mth fix to repair any other issues with the home. The 10 year warranty is great. The look of the entrance is a little disappointing but I’m sure DRHorton will get this fixed up once construction is finished. There are lots that cannot be built on for unknown reasons so it looks unfinished up front. This neighborhood is in a very convenient location and it looks like more shopping will be added to the area.

We contracted on a home. The sales Agent over promised and under delivered on the closing date. Missed 3 closing dates and was over 2 months behind schedule when we did initial walk through with the builder. The craftsmanship in the home was awful.
The builder hits you with all sorts of extra options that will cost you to purchase. What you see in the model home is not what your paying for unless you select the extra options.
The location is ideal, but be warned that the home you buy could have been built with lower standards during construction to rush completion. During the construction phase, we found items not built to specifications filed on the permits. Kitchen counters that would not pass inspection and would not allow proper clearance for a refrigerator in the kitchen. Laundry room in correctly framed and would not allow standard size washer and dryer to be installed without the garage entry door hitting the face of machines.
When we pointed out issues during the construction phase to be corrected, instead of taking the time to redo it properly, the builder would stall and allow other construction to continue prohibiting the issues to be properly built to specification. To correct construction issues, they would resort to the quickest and cheapest resolution.
We paid to upgrade the granite counter top and during a quick and cheap resolution because they framed and built the kitchen counters incorrectly, they broke and damaged the granite. They refused to replace it after months of affirmation and sales agent telling us it would be replaced.
One set of contractors in the house working drew pornographic images on the walls and doors of the house. The builder tried to use some cleaner on the wall destroying the wall texture in those areas. Instead of replacing the area, they just repainted it and a noticeable difference could always be seen where the drawings were located.
The 3^rd party inspection report was extremely long and I highly encourage anyone buying a home in the subdivision to pay for an inspection. They refused to correct a majority of the issues on the report.
During the final walk through, the house was in awful condition. Base boards missing and not painted, flooring dirty, carpet with holes and torn, door frames broken, window frames broken and over a 100-​punch out list items not even addressed. By the end of the meeting, I refused to accept the broken granite and the builder terminated our contract, after 5 months!
We had to fight to all our money back, but they did refund 100% of all our deposits. We were forced into signing their form letter for cancellation after fighting with the Area Sales Director about getting our money back.
I am sure other subdivisions by the company are good, but I would not recommend anyone to this subdivision. Take your own lawyer to every meeting and voice record all sessions. It was the only thing that saved us! Don’t trust a word the female sales agent says, she reminded me of a high-​pressure-​commission used car sales person that would say anything to get you to sign a contract.
Also, pay for 3^rd party phase inspections during the building process. It will save you time and money.
