I love my dsld home. I enjoyed working with Austin and Robin and they made sure everything was perfect. The neighborhood located in Mississippi is great however, The HOA company they use for their new communities has really been a bad experience. I gave them a 5 star rating due to the professionalism of Robin and Austin but their HOA company deserves a 1 star. read more

DSLD Homes - General Contractors Near Me - Denham Springs, Louisiana

I would like to share my exp with this builder. Purchased our first home hoping a "new construction home" wouldn't have the issues an older home would but boy were we wrong. After a year and a half we had our first issue. DSLD did not install a flange around our shower drain. This allowed all the water from our shower to go around the drain pipe and pool under the shower. We had a bad mold smell. We called DSLD and they sent a rep out to take moisture readings in the bathroom and master bedroom. He said it was 22% and this is normal. Fast forward a few months and the shower cracked on the floor. It was a fiberglass mobile home style one piece shower they installed. I called an independent repair company to inspect and quote a repair. He told me a flange wasn't installed and there is a lot of water damage. Long story short. I had to contact an attorney and inform DSLD of my legal action before they offered a check of $2,300. What it would cost them to demo and replace the shower. Not trusting DSLD I hired a contractor to do the job right. $6,000 in water damage was repaired, no waterproofing behind the shower surround (my contractor waterproofed it while doing construction) and he put the correct flange around the floor drain. (By the way when I showed DSLD the flange photos they said they don't follow Louisiana building codes they follow federal codes). My contractor laughed and said EVERY plumber in any state knows a flange is required to divert water into the drain. $10,800 later my shower now works and the mold smell has gone after the water cleanup was complete. Next issue was our garage and back doors not lining up and opening on their own. DSLD sent a rep out to do a repair. This involved beating the catch with a hammer. Truly blown away by their workmanship. Again. I had to go buy new catches, red roll and realign my doors myself. Due to the moisture that builds in the bathrooms I wanted to install larger CFM fans. Due to DSLD putting the cheapest $30 fans available I can not upgrade them without cutting into the ceiling and installing a new unit vs replacing with a larger bathroom fan. What should be $100 job is now about $600. I had the breaker trip for my kitchen outlets on multiple occasions. After the third time DSLD sent a rep out they finally replaced just the breaker. It happened again so I hired a reputable local electrical contractor. He found 4 breakers in our Breaker Panel with wires hanging and not properly screwed in. He said he is surprised our house hasn't burned down. He went through both breakers and properly secured all my connections. We have used our guest bathroom maybe 10 times in the 3 years we have loved here. The trim that holds the tub to the wall is pulling away and you can see a line all around the tub. My other option for the bathroom moisture is to install a sliding "opening" Bathroom Window. Nope again. DSLD put a fixed custom size window in. I had 3 contractors come out and none of them wanted to touch it. They said the only way to put a sliding window in to cut into the frame, reinforce it and install a standard size window instead of DSLD one off size that no one carries. While looking at the bathroom fan to upgrade it I noticed small bulges in several places in the ceiling. One bulge is cracking so upon looking they are screw that are poking through the ceiling and now damaging the paint. I went into my laundryroom the other day to start laundry and saw an 8"x2" piece of paint on the floor. I looked up and saw white tape along the edge of the wall and ceiling that is falling off. I can't believe paint would fail in 3 years in a room used once a week. I have several spots in my floor that are peeling. They are little slivers about 2-3" long and as thin as a toothpick. We have no kids and only wear slippers inside. We truly hoped for $201,000 we would be getting a home with no major hiccups or repairs to this extent needed. I understand things happen but this house has been a nightmare. Due to the way the warranty Dept handles these "I'm told- What do you want me to do about it". Great attitude instead of let's look into this and see what we can do for your $201,000 you spent with us. The year warranty is laughable as I get a longer warranty with a used car. I will never buy from DSLD again after my experience. I hope anyone who sees this review will help them in making an informed decision of what they are buying. read more

See all

This review is to help people out when deciding on a new home from DSLD. So just to give you background of my experience with home builders, my wife and I have had about 15 brand new homes in the past 20 years. Some were homes we lived in and some homes we rented out. The range of homes were from DR Horton to Drees from Las Vegas, Texas, and now South Alabama. Just in Alabama we have had 4 since 2018. Now Baldwin County had a big issue with DR Horton and almost kicked them out of the county from building in the area. This brings me to our current new home by DSLD. This house and DSLD has to be the worst company I have every dealt with, scams from the beginning including their financing, which I am glad I did not fall into that trap. They talked a big game when buying the home about how they take pride in their warranty, which if you thought DR Horton was the bottom of the barrel, wait till you buy a DSLS home. Before I even closed I had many things that were placed on my list to fix and DSLD has never fixed anything, not even one thing on that list. I have a dead lawn which HOA is saying I have to pay to have it replaced and DSLD says by closing on the home I except the grass. I even told them the grass was dead at my walk through and guy said just water it. If you plan on buying a DSLD home make sure you don't expect to buy a new home but a fixer upper. During recessions and housing crashes this is where DSLD will get flushed out. The whole reason for markets to have a down turn is to flush out the bad companies that do not manage their product well. That is if the government does not bail anyone out. We saw this in 2008 when companies that should have failed would have been flushed out and we would have had a rise of better managed products from other companies. DSLD does not warranty their product and if I wanted a fixer upper home there are plenty of homes to choose from. DSLD has the worst warranty on the market in my opinion and they need to be flushed out. By the way I closed in March 2022 and is still under warranty only don't mean anything. Just think hard before you buy one of these houses. read more

Why can't you see negative comments on here? Oh wait they take them down like they will do this one for the third time! Their communication sucks and they cut corners every chance they get! Make sure new owners get an inspector to watch the build at each step! Once you sign the papers it's like pulling teeth to get someone to call you back! Contractors cut conners and if your the home buyer and you don't catch them they don't care!!! The best selling point is you get a year warranty on your new house! But good luck getting anyone out to come fix it or even return your call! When the schedule workers to fix you will have to take off of work to have someone home! Then will not call and not show up bc they will cancel and want to reschedule! Has happen for the fourth time for tile work! Or the tile guy comes with NO tile to fix it! Wow great customer service! I can keep going but it doesn't pay bc this post will be takin down in less than a week I'm sure! First Posted March 16th 2022 Second Post March 18th 2022 Oh and they take down their GOGGLE reviews! Let's see if they do that here read more

The home is nice and was built on time. The warranty and care after closing is trash. We're waiting on 30 day items to be fixed and we're almost at the 12 month walk through. The warranty isn't covering my terrible looking warping front door or my mis matched counter tops. We also just had a cold night with temps down to 12 degrees. We dripped faucets, opened cabinets, insulated exterior faucets, put a heater in the garage and still have frozen pipes. We called dsld and they said it was normal and we should have been waking up to run everything every 45 mins. Ridiculously bad service and overall quality. read more
