We just moved into our last home, our retirement dream home. It started almost exactly a year ago. I saw a sign for a home community in Mesa, Arizona after mountain bike riding with a friend, who I learned ) months later also lived in a Blandford Home Community in East Mesa. The wow experience started with the beautiful gated entrance with fabulous landscaping and abundant palm trees. As I followed the signs to the models, I noticed the generous space between the backyards of the homes. Lots of open space with walking trails and again, beautiful landscaping. I walked through the 3 models and immediately knew that the third one, Residence 12 would become the final home we would live in. I walked back to the office with lots of questions and met Terry Lents, who over the next 12 months would become much more than a sales associate but a trusted friend. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Terry's patient communication style, always listening and carefully answering my questions started the process of building the trust I quickly appreciated.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]He spent about 90 minutes walking 4 different Residence 12's at various stages of construction.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This first encounter became the foundation of dozens upon dozens of phone calls, texts and face to face visits. Next up, the product itself. I loved the floor plan, the high ceilings (12 feet), the beautiful finishes and the quality seen in so many details. I brought my Wife over the next day, concerned that the community in Mesa: Reserve at Red Rock would be too remote for our agreed upon vision of living in the Arcadia area of Phoenix. But, she had the same experience I described as we drove from the gates through the community to the models. This place felt special. I didn't take her to the first 2 models, I took her directly to Residence 12. She walked through and I kept my my shut so she could come to her own conclusion. We wrote a deposit check that afternoon. [[HIGHLIGHT]]A few weeks later, we had our next "10-on-a-10 scale" experience with Bernadette at their Design Center.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Terry had given us access to this area which was on property the week before so we could begin to put together our design ideas. [[HIGHLIGHT]]When we met with Bernadette, she listened and saw our vision, then brought her creativity and experience with their various products to bring it fully to life.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We had 5 full hours with her and never felt rushed or pushed to make decisions.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] She was like having a Sherpa on a long hike, she provided confidence and focus while giving us the time to do some exploring as we made our decisions. At this stage, Terry was also a huge help sorting through all of the available options that Blandford Homes offers in a floor plan. While it's not a custom home from scratch with a blank sheet of paper, it felt like building a semi-custom home. We have lived in 3 new homes over our 32 year marriage, one was also semi-custom and the other two were models already complete. This was our best experience of all new homes. The 8 month building experience was also worthy to describe. The homesite was kept neat and tidy along every step. I appreciated this care and sense of pride I saw in the various sub contractors. We lived out of the state in New Mexico and visited about once every 2-3 weeks until the last few months where we came almost weekly to visit. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Terry made it a point to take pictures for us in between visits so we were able to feel like we were part of every stage.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Terry and his Son Justin were also great about giving us the "green" construction key as we flew in for visits. Since they had another community under construction about 3 miles away, it was easy to swing by their sales office to benefit from this accessibility once the unit was locked. (The last few months) The final part of the experience I want to highlight is the 3 hour orientation and walk through with our Construction Supervisor, Brian. Brian has been with Blandford Homes over 25 years, had done this walk through 1,497 times before (his count), yet it felt like he genuinely wanted us to know everything possible about our new home. We had minimal "blue tape" moments that were addressed 100% on the same day. He never made us feel we were nitpicking or too detailed. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Again, hospitality and warmth and care.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] So if you've read this review to this point, I hope you walk away with a sense of confidence if you choose Blandford to build your next home. We have shared our positive experience with my Son-in-Laws Folks who are considering moving to the Valley, along with 2 other couples that we know well. We can't wait to meet all of our new Reserve at Red Rock neighbors. Terry tells us we will be meeting lots of special people that he has gotten to know over the 3-year community build out. We bought the last lot and are so blessed to plant roots here. read more

Blandford Homes is unlike other competitive builders in the area - they're better. With their offer, home buying in today's market feels both affordable and attainable. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We recently closed on our home and couldn't be happier with the experience.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]From being on the email list to selecting our lot, every step was smooth and well-organized.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The sales office, Justin and Terry Lents, are seasoned pros always quick to respond and assist making the process feel seamless.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Our design studio appointment with Bernadette was decision-heavy, but manageable with her help. She offered thoughtful guidance while giving us space to make our own creative choices -- not pushy at all.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Upgrades were reasonable and in line with industry expectations. The closing process was stress-free. Title signing took less than 45 minutes, the walk-through with Mike B (super) went smoothly, and any small details after closing were promptly addressed. Every expectation we had was exceeded prior to, during, and following. The property itself is in a great location -- quiet and gated, yet close to the freeway. When we moved in, other homes near us were mid-construction. Despite that, the noise volume was manageable, security is heightened and they street-sweep weekly so no nails in your tire. Area is perfect for children or pets. Downtown Mesa is revitalizing and attracts ASU students, making this a strong investment. Great schools are nearby, and commuting is convenient: 20 minutes to Sky Harbor Airport, 25 to Mesa Gateway, under 20 to Downtown Gilbert, 25 to Old Town, 25 to San Tan, 20 to Float Salt Lake, and about 1 hour 15 to Payson. Overall, we are extremely grateful for a team that made home-buying not only smooth and efficient but genuinely enjoyable. Their professionalism, guidance, and attentiveness made all the difference. read more

Downsizing and purchased one of the model homes. The model looked beautiful but is missing the mark on a few "livability" items that would have made this home exceptional. There is no linen closet for the primary suite, and no pull out shelving under the bathroom sink. Some storage solutions for the towels for the primary would have been amazing. The water closet in the primary is very narrow. When you put a large roll of TP on the holder your leg is right up against it, a few extra inches in room width would make a difference. The master bathroom countertop area and outlets do not accommodate todays needs. Hot rollers, hair dryer, electric tooth brush, vanity mirror etc. do not fit on the counter space and teeter on the edge of the counter. Would give anything for 6-8 more inches of counter space and another outlet. Kitchen storage is minimal and a place to hide the trash can in the cabinetry would have been a great touch. Pantry - an amazing touch for a model home would have been cabinets in the lower portion of the pantry to hide (mixers/bowls) with shelving above instead of a tract home pantry. The home is built well, but some attention to design detail for actual "living" in the home is missing. The Community is beautiful & well kept and great amenities. read more

Nightmare home builder. Do not buy. Purchased a home with them a couple of years ago. There were so many issues with our home inspection. The report listed over 100 issues. Wasn't going to post a review until I discovered what they did in our kitchen. The attached pictures show how horrible their work ethic is when it comes to building homes. If you buy a home with them, make sure you pull the appliances away from the walls. read more

We had a fantastic experience building our home with Blandford Homes. Our salesman, Ross, was very experienced and patient with us since we had never built a home before, and he helped make it easier as we lived out of state at the time of purchase. Our project manager, Scott was great with all of our details and allowed our personal friend ( general contractor) to be our eyes on the ground so we didn't miss anything. We still love everything about our little house in the mountains especially our backyard!! Ross really stepped up during the process because we changed our mind on the model of the home after we signed the contract, and he walked us through that easily. It's been more than 4 years now and we are so thankful we chose Blandford to build our dream home here in Arizona. read more

Are you thinking of building with Blandford Homes? BEWARE! I know it doesn't rain often in Arizona, but Blandford secured the roof of our home so poorly during the building process, that we had Water... Water... Everywhere! Puddles on the floor. Over 20 puddles in various areas throughout the house; bedrooms (3), bathrooms (3), den, dining room, living room, utility room, garage. Puddles that looked like this.... oops, doesn't look like I can post the terrible picture... The water entered the home through the ceiling drywall, because the roof had not been "dried in" properly! CRAZY! All of this water came straight down through the ceiling drywall that had already been installed, saturating the drywall seams and other areas throughout the house. To make matters worse, Blandford then decided to mud and tape the entire house a couple days later, while these areas were still wet. Here is a picture of one of the many wet seams... This happened in early December. We had to bring this to their attention, they had NO idea. Blandford then let the same thing happen later December and early January. There was so much water in the attic that the screws holding the ceiling drywall in place developed "wet" halos around them in areas well beyond just the seams of the drywall. We do not recommend using Blandford Homebuilders! This is one of several key issues. read more

Local luxury home builder using good quality material. When purchasing a new car the dealer adds on extras. This builder is the same so be aware of the base price. Add on could costs up to 20% plus extras. Exterior is 2"X6" while most builders use 2x4. This adds extra insulation and better a/c performance. Great lay out. Warranty is something slow due to subcontractors not responding. read more

Blandford Homes is a high quality organization. We are currently having our fourth home built by Blandford. Their service and accommodation to our special needs is outstanding. The sales representatives are friendly and knowledgeable. Joanne Summa has gone out of her way to assist us in making countless decisions needed when buying a new house! Thanks to the entire Blandford team! Steve and Judy Sturgell read more

Having built and remodeled homes in the past, we were looking for quality construction in a beautiful neighborhood. Blandford excelled at both. The floorplans were among the best we had seen in the area. However, the attention to detail in building, finishing, and follow-up was amazing. The sales team, especially Terry Lents, was accommodating, helped us immensely, and kept us informed regularly with text, calls, and images. After nearly seven years, we are proud of our home, pleased with Blandford's service and support, and recommend them to others. read more

Great Builder, service and quality. Very good sales team that supports you all along!

We were searching for a home in Talinn near Desert Ridge when we came across Blandford Homes, a company we knew little about at the time. We decided to stop by their sales office, and I'm so glad we did. There, we met David Falk, who turned out to be an incredibly nice and down-to-earth person. He had a great sense of humor and made the entire process smooth and enjoyable. David was very knowledgeable about the real estate market and never pressured us into making a purchase. If given the opportunity, I would definitely work with David again in the future. read more

I recently had the pleasure of working with Terry and Justin Lents during the purchase of my client's new home. I cannot recommend them highly enough. From our first meeting, Terry demonstrated exceptional knowledge of each of Blandford Homes floorpans that were available, the home-building process, and the various options available for the home. Terry, was incredibly patient and answers all the questions myself and my client had during the purchase of her new home. Reserves at Red Rock is a beautiful community and they have a wonderful team of agents and staff assisting buyers and homeowners. Thank you all! read more

I just helped a client close on a Blandford Homes property and was very pleased with the level of service we received from beginning to end. Working with Terry Lents on this transaction was a breeze. Terry never tried to be pushy or salesy. He listened to what my clients wanted and directed us accordingly. He was always helpful, responsive, and accommodating throughout the whole process. I highly recommend Terry Lents and Blandford Homes to anyone looking for a quality home. read more

Their homes are way overprice!! They Nickel and dime you for everything! Base price is already over price. Doesn't included lot price and upgrades! They have great sales rep, but once you purchase, customer service disappear! Over promise and under deliver! Buyer beware! read more

What an amazing, easy experience working with Ross (and Joanne) to buy our home in the Reserve @ Red Rock! From the day we first walked into the sales office to now being in our home for a little over a month, the vibe has been warm, friendly, zero pressure, 'how can we help you'. Pretty typical for a 'sales office' to have that vibe up until they get your first check but with Ross and Blandford that caring service continues even today. Thank you!! Speaking of 'first check', pretty amazed that on that day in May that we wrote the first check for the piece of dirt, Blandford gave us a closing day of December 8th and they nailed it!!! Oh, did I mention that we absolutely love our new home!! Thank you Ross, Joanne, Bernadette (design studio) and the entire Blandford Team for building us our amazing home and making the entire process enjoyable!!! Cheers! read more

My wife and I bought our home in December and from the very first day we walked into the office. We were treated with nothing but kindness and professionalism. We had the pleasure of working with Ross Johnson and he made the entire process enjoyable. He made sure to go above and beyond his role and made sure the buying process was smooth and all our questions were answered. Along with him, the entire Blandford Homes product is definitely one of a kind. The quality of our new home is well above other new builds we visited in the Phoenix area. We would definitely recommend anyone looking to buy, buy from them. read more

Fantastic Builder. Amazing quality homes. Amazing community features also. 100% Reccomend

As a first time homebuyer who's worked in the real estate industry for 10yrs, I'm all too aware of the worst case, nightmare scenarios you can encounter with new construction. We chose to build a home with Blandford based on their reputation for quality and that's exactly what we've experienced at every step of the way. We got under contract in August and our home was move-in ready by March. Mind you, this was during major supply and labor shortages so the fact our home was delivered without a hitch shows the strength in relationship Blandford must have with their vendors and contractors. We must have stopped by the community at least once a week to check on our home's progress and were always warmly welcomed by Eric, Terry, and Deb when we stopped by. We've lived in our home now for 4mos and love every inch of it. Thank you Eric, Terry, and Deb for all you've done and continue to do for our family! read more

I am so pleased with my recent purchase of my house in the gated community of Monteluna in Mesa. I have bought and sold 17 properties in the last 13 years and my goal was ultimately to buy a Blandford Home. I actually found the community a few years back and started trading emails direct with Ivy Coppo, the sales rep for the community and was so pleased with her services worked with her direct when buying my house. I also wanted to live in the exact area of where this community was established and wanted to live in a small community (only 108 homes) and secure it is gated. In addition, Monteluna has amenities which appealed to me - landscaped open areas, a pickleball court, large park, group ramada and sport court. Lastly, I was able to get a spec home meeting my needs exterior color and aesthetic - Farmhouse and the interior offered tons of upgrades. I could not be happier! read more

My experience with Ross Johnson was very positive. He demonstrated great product knowledge and answered all of my questions in detail. If looking for a new home I would recommend Blandford Homes and Ross Johnson. read more

Blandford Homes has been awful. I purchased a brand new home in Ahwatukee a yr ago. I still have blue tape all over. They haven't even finished the 30 day punch list or the 60 day punch list. I email customer service every single week. Their sups are the worst! I'm afraid to even start the 1yr punch list. I just filed with the BBB case #18516725 - I've had it with these people. Vee & Bill - you are both correct, this is the most horrible experience I have had with a new builder. This Ahwatukee community is NOT happy. Very poor workmanship yet very expensive houses. Blandford is hoping you will just give up and go away or have someone else fix it. I encourage every unhappy home owner to file with the BBB. read more

I've been a Preferred Lender with Blandford Homes for over a decade and have been truly fortunate to work with such a high-caliber team of Sales Professionals. Terry Lents, in particular, has been with Blandford Homes for over 30 years and demonstrates, time after time, the highest level of service to his clients. Not only is his knowledge in the construction of a new home unparalleled, he also possesses high integrity, a strong work ethic and genuinely cares about his clients. Having a skilled professional to guide you through the intricacies of building a new home is paramount to achieving your vision. Terry has a unique ability to carefully understand his clients' wishes and goes out of his way to ensure their confidence and satisfaction throughout the process. Representing a quality builder like Blandford Homes means being a quality representative of that builder. Terry fits that bill every single time I've interacted with him, a sentiment that is echoed by the many happy clients he has served, many of whom purchase another Blandford Home. In addition to these important qualities, Terry is also a truly great person, always personable, always kind, and is the consummate professional. He serves his clients exceptionally well 100% of the time and is an excellent partner in our common goal of a positive experience for our clients. I highly recommend Terry Lents and Blandford Homes for those looking for a quality new home and expert guidance every step of the way. read more

Amazing experience working with Terry and Eric! We love the attention to detail on our home.

We love our Blandford Home. Blandford's 'attention to detail' sets them apart. They design outstanding floor plans and timeless exterior elevations. They're a local Arizona builder that cares about home buyers, focused on quality construction and great customer service. Blandford Homes constructs master planned communities with world class amenities that include aquatic centers, fitness facilities, sports courts, hiking & biking trails and club house banquet rooms for community events and private parties. Nothing compares to Blandford communities Reserve at Red Rock, Mountain Bridge, Mulberry, Las Sendas, & The Foothills with timeless grand entries and massive open space. When it comes selecting a home builder, Blandford's simply the best! read more

Blandford Homes is a preferred builder of choice to work for as a subcontractor. We have been a trade partner to Blandford Homes for over 10 years and as the General Manager for Mesa Fully Formed, I can attest to their quality, service and dedication to their homebuyers. Highly recommend Blandford Homes if you are looking to purchase a new home!! read more

Horrible customer service. Refused to stucco parts of our house they missed. Cost me well over a thousand dollars for damage control and repairs. Basically said to bad to me. Would NEVER build with this company again. Found a lot of other short cuts taken too throughout the years. Many other quality, reliable builders here in the valley. read more

We have purchased 3 homes from Blandford in the last 20 years, NEVER had a problem or any issue with anything. The sales people (Eric & JoAnne) have been more then helpful. Would buy from Blandford again, no questions asked. If a buyer does not do their "due diligence" and does not understand how new home purchases work, in Arizona, that is NOT Blandfords fault or problem. Seems like no one wants to accept responsibility for their own incompetence. Blame it on the man...Blandford is a wonderful builder. Accept responsibility for your own incompetence and stop leaving half assed reviews with NO pertinent information. read more

Love Blandford... beautiful homes. Great service. I went in and spoke to Joanne, and got all the information i need, and am really excited!

I've worked for Blandford Homes as a sales agent for close to 10 years. It is a pleasure to work with a company that has such intergity and high standards. It is comforting to know that at the end of the day, our customers will be taken care of. I love working for Blandford Homes and I am very happy to say that I now even own my very own Blandford Home! read more

This was my wife and I's first home we had ever purchased and even though things were rocky with the pandemic Terry and Eric took extremely good care of us and updating us when they knew things were happening! Also Bernadette at the design center was AMAZING! She did not try to up-sell us on useless upgrades and told us where we should spend our money and worked around our budget and we all had a blast and there were many laughs throughout the entire session! Our home is so beautiful and we LOVE IT soooo much! read more

We just bought a home in one of the new Blandford Homes communities and were fortunate enough to work with Ivy throughout the construction process. She was extremely friendly, responsive, and attentive to detail which made the process all the smoother. There were a few setbacks with closing (multiple pending items) likely due to Covid but our super Tilo has been great in following through to make sure these issues get addressed. The home itself is a step above in workmanship and quality. Having purchased a new construction in the past from a different builder, Blandford definitely raises the bar and we are very happy with our new home. read more

We built in Mountain Bridge and have been in our home since Nov. 2018. Our experience with Ross (sales) and the entire Blandford staff was/has been nothing but excellent. We were/are incredibly satisfied with the quality of the work, the pace of construction, the design process, the walkthroughs and inspections, and the follow up since closing. The only issue we truly had problems with concerned the landscaping vendor Blandford uses, Native Landscapes. For as easy and enjoyable Blandford was to work with, NL was equally difficult and frustrating. We were happy with the quality of the work in the end but getting the work done was very problematic. I had the opportunity to meet and talk to one of the people who left a 1 star review here at a community block party. While it's unfortunate their experience was considered poor, it's worth noting this particular person was apparently upset over Blandford's inability or unwillingness (often hard to distinguish facts from opinions in a person's rants...) to do things like install custom wood mouldings, let the buyer install their own tiles, and add a non-standard window as well as Blandford wanting to charge what the buyer considered an "outrageous price" for various upgrades and accessories and not letting them run their own speaker and cable wiring. That's not to discount or deny some people may very well have bad experiences for very credible reasons. But giving a bad review just because someone doesn't get their way or doesn't like the cost of something does not equate to poor customer service but rather to unrealistic customer demands or expectations. As is always the case, it often comes down to perspective. read more

We have now built two homes in the Mountain Bridge community with Blandford Homes. Working with Terry and Eric has been amazing! Top notch customer service from sales to supers on the job site. Blandford does an A+ job from start to finish. We look forward to building another home with Blandford in the future. We highly recommend this incredible home builder! read more

I purchased my home in Mulberry community almost 2.5yrs ago. My sales agent was David Falk, who was excellent in explaining the building process. He was able to keep me informed on my new build as I was out of state for most of the time. After closing on my home . Customer service was attentive to my request. Certainly there were some issues that we disagreed on but overall I had a pleasant experience. This is my second new build and this process was very smooth. I am giving Blandford 4 put 5 stars because there is always room for improvement. Unfortunately I couldn't select 4.5 but that is my real rating. Blandford Builds Beautiful communities and lovely homes. read more

I have had nothing but positive experiences with Blandford Homes. There are always issues with a new home & each & every one was addressed and rectified in record time. Joanne Summa was my sales person and she was awesome then and is awesome now. I still call & ask her questions and if she doesn't know the answer she finds out. I'd buy another blandford home in a heartbeat. You cannot beat the quality build & continued communication. read more
