Beautiful homes, great construction, friendly and knowledgeable staff.

Buffington is a good company that delivers!

The on-site staff were generally helpful; however, there were several concerns from the beginning:

The call center experience was not collaborative and often felt transactional rather than supportive.

Scheduling design studio appointments was consistently difficult and lacked flexibility.

There was a significant lack of transparency regarding community-related aspects. In particular, many homeowners were disappointed to learn about the adjacent chicken farm situation, as this was not clearly communicated during the plot selection and booking process.

Post-purchase quality issues have been observed, including excessive squeaking throughout the home and concerns that the bathtub may not have been installed properly.

Had an in person meeting at every major milestone plus Friday status calls. Sydney in the design studio was awesome to work with and very helpful. Lastly, the inspection and final walk throughs went smoothly as there were little to no call outs.

More attention to detail on the finish work would save more time throughout the 60 day warranty process

Lovely neighborhood, great location.

Ricky Shade and Dakota Loving are absolutely wonderful to work with!!

We would recommend, but would mention that any design upgrade has a huge markup and will add $30,000 - 100,000+ more to the cost.

Great house; very happy with quality. Only issue we have is the Ozarks Electric box being 1 foot from the driveway that was poured after Ozarks placed it there. Driveway should have been adjusted to accommodate that. I have been parking my truck over on that side and hitting it with my door everytime I open the door out of safety because my guests will hit the box when pulling in or backing out. I don't want to cause major injury or damage or cause a power outage but this should have been addressed before the driveway was poured. I couldn't test this out until after closing due to the wooden temp fence that barricaded the driveway. I reached out and met with Ben who punted to Carl and Carl met with me in person. After some deliberation and a 2nd appeal by me, I was told nope; nothing we are going to do because it's just too complicated of a process. I want a resolution. I am awaiting a decision from AR public service commission for further direction and then will send a letter to Buffington for a final appeal. Please make this right. None of you would want an electric box dangerously located ONE foot from your driveway.

We are very happy with the experience from beginning to end.

Mike handles everything amazing! We have moved 20 times. This is the best new home warranty we have ever dealt with.

Disappointed on the mark-up on items. Refrigerator for example that costs $3300 and being charged $6500 is ridiculous. When I inquired I was told, “well the $6500 price includes delivery and installation.” I bought the same fridge from Metro and paid $3000 less, including delivery and installation. The minimum quality and amenities that come included and then the very limited options, even for a spec home, are disappointing.

Very much.

The process was very organized and professional.

Overall, great quality and customer service. The overall feedback is amazing as well.

The people we have worked with are awesome and they believe in the quality of the homes they design, build, and/or sell.

Overall, we feel like it was a 5-Star experience. The few things that had to be dealt with that weren't 5-Star could have happened in any situation of building a house.

This is our first home to build from scratch and I felt Buffington made the process easy and we really enjoyed working with Jamie, Rob, Ben and Grant during our process.

This review was completed by Brian Mayfield. An additional review may be completed in the near future by Melissa.

The service Buffington homes provides claim to be top of the class in constructing new homes, but my experience has not been great. I had to have a conversation to get anything done and ended up in an argument and ended up having to pay for everything that needed to be fixed in the house. Everything it was a painful process to get things done. That is one of the reasons I would not recommend Buffington Homes.

The process of building with many options did not go well.. every option on the build for the frameout was not done correctly..

Quality home! Ricky Shade and Dakota were amazing to work with! They were always quick to respond and kept us well informed along the way! They both went above and beyond!!
So happy with our new home❤️

it’s a nice neighborhood, well build houses and very detailed

Not finished with the process yet

Communication throughout build process could’ve been better. There were some big oversights that needed to be repaired and wasn’t done until the week or two prior to closing.

I would absolutely recommend Buffington Homes to a friend or family member. What truly sets them apart is the people who work for the company. Every person we interacted with took genuine pride in their work and cared about building strong, respectful relationships with buyers.

Throughout the process, the team was professional, responsive, and transparent. It never felt transactional — instead, it felt like they were invested in delivering a home we’d love. Their attention to detail and willingness to communicate made a stressful process feel manageable and reassuring.

Buffington Homes builds more than just houses; they build trust. The integrity, craftsmanship, and personal care shown by their team is the reason I would confidently recommend them to anyone looking for a builder who truly stands behind their work and values their customers.
