Constraction reviews in Omaha, Nebraska

While they build nice homes, they DO NOT care about the buyers. They only care about collecting a paycheck and are 0 help once you close. We closed on our home over a month ago and our house STILL isn’t painted and we aren’t allowed to put up a fence until it’s painted. We ask for an eta and they say it’s not their job/they don’t get notified on the painting schedule. WHAT?! Again, over a month and we still have a broken stove that was identified before closing.
While in the building process, they claim it’s all your choices. That’s a load of lies as well. If it’s not on THEIR timeline, they dont care what you want. Again, they only care about collecting their paycheck. If you want LVP in a part of the house that they have listed as carpet… nope! Even if you offer to pay extra, the answer is still no!
And after you move in, if they are still building in your neighborhood, they still walk through your property as if they still own it.
And this is just the TIP of the iceberg. Save yourself from this business that only care about themselves and not their customers.

Save your money and time. We thought building a house would be a great experience. This turned into something we quickly regretted. The builder wants you to sign and choose everything for the home right away. However, you’ll have no idea when your home will be completed until it is done. Ours was 10 months. Also, we had to sell our previous house before hand. Which left us homeless for this time. They are quick to take your money and then have you stuck. When filing a claim on your warranty, nothing will get fixed in a timely manner. We have lived in our home for 2 months and it’s still not painted. Just overall a bad experience. Do your research and use someone who actually cares about you and not one that is only in it for a profit.

Terrible home!!!!! So much needs fixed. Poor workmanship. The materials are crappy and horrible. I put in many warranties. They haven't responded to over half of them. Now they told me I need to turn the leaking windows and the split wood on my front pillars into my homeowners insurance because the storm from 7/31 was the cause. Funny thing is I turned in warranties on both of these back in February and again in May. 4 set of my windows leak like a waterfall. The master bathroom looks like a 2 year old did it. The drywall tape is showing thru on several of the walls. I could go on for pages and paged. Worst company ever. And when I asked to speak to someone in the upper management the reply I got was " do you really want to open that can of worms?" Hell yes I do. DO NOT BUILD A HOME THROUGH CELEBRITY HOMES!!!!!!!

STAY AWAY!!! Terrible company to purchase a home from, we have had countless issues with our house that we purchased from KAREN STANSBERRY in 2022. The warranty they give you is worthless, they will fight you to not cover things. We asked for a closing date 4 times in order to lock in our interest rate and Karen gave us multiple excuses to why they couldn’t give us a closing date. The process was stressful and they give you the runaround when you ask questions or need help.

I’m not sure why they’re such a low rating for this builder. We purchased and built through celebrity in 2022 and the home was ready sooner than what we were quoted. The home is beautiful and I loved being able to customize, but not being overwhelmed with customizations. And a year and a half later since we moved in the home has kept us safe from many many storms. It looks great and we have had zero problems.

We worked with Kurt and he was wonderful from start to finish. After the home was built we did have a couple warranty items to submit but nothing crazy just my own preferences or something I didn’t feel like I wanted to do on my own as it should come with the home, and they did them quickly. I wish everybody had that same experience, but that is not the case for some communities?

If I could give a 0 I would! I bought a house a month ago, please choose another company for your purchase! Buying a new home should be exciting! This experience has been horrible so many issues on a brand new home! It’s like you have to beg Celebrity homes warranty to fix the issues! They sure collect the money and don’t care about fixing the issues! They are made very sloppy too! 0 stars ⭐️ I don’t see the reason for the initial walkthrough, they don’t even fix things as been pointed that day!

This developer does not care for the neighborhood they build their homes in. Poor drainage control from their build sites results in severe mud problems throughout the neighborhood several attempts have been made to notify the builder, but they do not respond nor care to take accountability for the issue they have created. This is the Lionsgate neighborhood and several homeowners have filed complaints with the county AND builder. No customer service, just money collectors.

Do not purchase a home with them. I would not recommend Celebrity Homes to anyone. They use the cheapest material and once you sign your documents, they pretty much disappear. While under warranty, contractors have come to repair things & have stated Celebrity cut corners and use the cheapest materials they can. They lied about our neighborhood being annex into the city within a year and now we have to deal with a HOA. We have been here almost 3 years and still haven't been recognized as part of the city. I see my neighbors also having repairs and we haven't been long at all. It's disturbing they are allowed to continue to build homes with such low quality. I would never purchase another home from there or recommend them to anyone.

Be aware of the purchase contract language used by this builder. You will pay for a portion of the prior year property taxes at closing as well as the entire tax bill for the year of purchase. This, even though you didn't own the property in the prior year or the entirety of the year of purchase. Legal, but a real cheap shot.

I have owned my Celebrity home for 9 years now and it has been a great buy. No issues with the construction. It is a moderately priced home and you get to customize it to your liking.

We have been fighting Celebrity for 2 years on repairing our downstairs bedroom window that has leaked like a sieve the entire time we have lived here. They attempted to fix it twice and failed and now won’t return emails or phone calls. You would have better luck gathering up firewood and building your own lean to tent and have it be more water proof than these clowns. They also did a terrible job of backfilling the rear of the house so now I’m thinking of getting a John boat and fishing the reservoir that forms after every rain. Do your homework, they are the WORST at communication and fixing THEIR problems and mistakes. This house was built in 2021.

We have lived in our home for 2 months. So far, no major problems. The new dishwasher quit working after 4 uses. LG has yet to fix it. Has been 2 months. Don Igo, our representative, has been very very helpful to us. He even took our phone calls on his day off. Thank you Don!

This builder is terrible, unprofessional and their sale agents from Lincoln are worst and scams. They will take any pennies from your pocket. Good luck building home with them. All good reviews here are fake, either their employees or their families members wrote it.

Please be aware of this company when buying a home they will want paid before the closing even if the job isnt complete then wont stand on their work if theres a problem highly reccomend against buying a icecream cone from this company let alone a house please dont get tricked like we have out here in LONEJACK Missouri buyers beware shady company!!!!!

Own a Regency Home, which is why I am now proudly selling Regency Homes! Best family owned Omaha builder in Omaha!! Amazing customer service, love and care in quality customizable homes!❤❤❤❤

Recently purchased a home from this builder they had a 45day closing period to complete a few minor repairs and landscaping. They installed the Sod today and it was dead ☠️ when I told the rep that the work was not acceptable they couldn’t give me a solution and also the work has no warranty. It’s very frustrating with buying a home over half million dollars and the yard looks horrible.

Watch Out! Our sales contract was cancelled by Regency two months into the process. They will hold you to all dates on the timeline even when they are more than 10 days late on their items - sales agent had zero respect for our time or schedule and seems to think sending you a text msg or email is a "meeting". If they perceive you to be a problem to them by asking questions they dont like, or pushing back when they are disrespectful to you they will cancel - read your contract - make sure you don't step out of line! Good Luck!

We had Regency build a home in Walnut Lake which we moved to in 2005. Since then we relocated in KC area and built another home. The difference in the experience is HUGE! In Omaha, the quality of construction, total involvement from initial drawings and meetings were far superior to what we experienced in KC, not to mention costs. The whole building process was extremely smooth with excellent communication thru out. I would highly recommend that any family considering building in the Omaha area give Regency a serious look. I just wish they were available in the KC area! Thanks to Denny, Bill and the whole team for an awesome experience!

Although we love our home, and feel it is well built, we had a problem with Regency not following through on warranty items.
We had cracks in our bathroom tile floor from the day we moved in.  We had to pay to tear up and replace the floors which was $7000.  The tile layer who did the replacement said the install was bad and the Regency Tile layer did not use enough of the glue to keep the tiles in place.  Our showers also leak and that will be another huge expense.  One of the showers leaks into the basement bedroom.
We also had a huge hole in our front yard the year we moved in.  The sewer or water line was not watered down when they filled the hole.  We were told this by Regency during a warranty visit.  Our drive caved in this year and we had to have a section removed and new concrete put in.  $3200.  The company that did the repair said there was a hole under the drive that was a foot and a half deep.  They had to fill it with rock, and then re-bar before repouring the cement.
Both of these items were not our fault as the purchaser of the home.  In both cases, the contractors were shocked that Regency would not pay for something so obviously wrong during the building.  I am aware that mistakes happen, but when a mistake happens, Regency should stand behind their product.  I am very disappointed that Regency has not been willing to help me.

Regency Homes was asked to return to our home to complete our unfinished basement. We were pleased with the finishes they provided for our home and felt that they would be able to offer similar details to match the main floor. During our initial on-site discussion, the architect was open to our requests and suggestions. They completed the entire project in less than 50 days with a minimal impact on our lives, i.e. minimal dust, noise, or inconvenience. The site foreman managed the project by seamlessly scheduling the various subcontractors, i.e. framers, drywall, painting, plumbing, flooring, etc. Nearly a year later, we have no warranty issues to address. We are 100% satisfied with the finished basement and highly recommend Regency for your residential needs.

When my wife and I decided to move to Nebraska from out of state, several factors played in to our decision. Family was one reason. The deciding factor was to find a house we loved and a builder we trusted. Regency Homes – Omaha exceeded our expectations in both areas.

We were on a visit and stopped at the show homes in Papillion. We were fortunate to meet Walter. We looked at the model and started discussing options and changes we were looking for in our dream home.

In that we still lived out of state, Walter was very accommodating to our schedule of when we would be in town at various times to plan our new home in Papillion. He provided guidance and suggestions, taking the time to ensure we planned our dream home with everything we wanted. Walter is AMAZING, and we are honored to call him a friend.

The Regency team is top-notch! The majority of the build process is done by Recency teams and not subcontracted. The quality and attention to detail is something you do not often see in this modern era. Every step was collaborative. Professionalism and quality throughout the build, and the entire process!

If you are planning to build a home, call Walter and the Regency team! If you want an existing home, call Regency as they have ready to move-in homes as well.

You WILL NOT be disappointed. Truly amazing! We feel extremely blessed to have found and worked with such an amazing, quality builder, and to now have our dream home!

Thank you, Walter, and the entire Regency team!
