A Stern Warning for Prospective Drees Homebuyers: Consider Your Investment Carefully!

As a retired military and federal government professional, my decision to purchase a Drees home was made with the expectation of finding a permanent, "forever" residence. However, based on our experience, I cannot, in good faith, endorse or recommend Drees Homes to any prospective buyer. To do so would be deeply irresponsible given the profound issues we've encountered.

Our Drees home has been officially deemed unlivable due to widespread toxic mold, a direct consequence of significant construction negligence. Over an eight-month period, Drees Homes engaged incompetent remediation workers who, across three separate attempts, failed to properly address the mold contamination in our home.

As of June 2025, despite these three failed remediation efforts, our home remains contaminated with toxic mold. This is not an isolated incident. We have communicated with at least ten other Drees homeowners within two sections of the Meridiana subdivision, all of whom have either experienced or are currently battling mold issues. Furthermore, I have spoken with Drees homeowners in Austin subdivisions who invested over one million dollars in their properties, only to find them uninhabitable due to mold. In our case, Drees replaced HVAC units and added spray foam to the attic, but critically, they never gutted the contaminated walls and ceilings where the mold originated and proliferated. Our family suffers from severe mold allergies, and we are experiencing numerous debilitating symptoms from this toxic exposure.

Adding to our concerns, an investigation initiated by me with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) has unearthed troubling evidence. This investigation revealed that companies paid by Drees have issued fraudulent clearance letters, falsely claiming our home was free of elevated mold levels. In another alarming instance, a Dallas-based company, also a TDLR mold advisory board member, issued a six-page report to Drees stating our home was mold-free and required no remediation. However, this company never physically visited our home to conduct an investigation or perform required mold testing, a mandatory protocol for TDLR-licensed Mold Consultants. We have learned in the process that we cannot trust any company paid by the builder. We have learned to pay independent testing companies, in order to confirm the results given to the builder from companies they have paid. If you have a mold issues, we recommend Texas Mold Inspectors; they provide detailed mold testing with integrity.

Despite presenting Drees with independent mold testing reports confirming the continued presence of mold and formally requesting that they engage a new, competent remediation company, they are now exhibiting significant delays and a lack of action. Compounding these issues, we have recently discovered that our property also has foundation problems.

This serves as a critical warning to potential buyers: proceed with extreme caution and consider alternative builders. You have been warned.

Recommendation: Do not buy with this builder
