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.

I just went through the design build process and would definitely recommend Buffington. Start to finish, the process was smooth with steps laid out in advance so I knew the timelines of what to expect. Selecting design options was fun and stress free thanks to the help of the Buffington Design Professional and having samples of options available for view in Buffington’s design center. My Buffington sales rep and field manager called each week during construction to answer any questions and provide an update on what had been done that week and what was scheduled for the following week. Construction was completed on schedule and the team worked hard to make sure any last minute inspection items were resolved before closing. After closing, the warranty portal makes it easy to have any warranty items addressed, and the warranty team is extremely responsive. This is my second Buffington home and I’ve had a great experience with both. It’s evident Buffington makes customer satisfaction a top priority.

Buffington was easy and delightful to work with throughout our purchase and build journey. I would recommend them to my closest friends and family, or anyone looking for a beautiful new construction home in the NWA area.

I want them to fix my tile and backsplash.

I want to mention Ashley Strange. She is so very helpful and she really helped me pick beautiful finishes. She pointed me in the right direction and gave me confidence in my choices.

I appreciate the 60-day warranty check-in. It was very helpful. Mike is a perfect representative for Buffington. We have also had professional interactions with Buffington's trade partners as well. We appreciate the system that Buffington has in place for their homeowners.

Overall, we had a great experience. We love our home, the location, and the result of what we chose to build.

Knowing what we now know I would tell someone that the house is well built but be aware that these are high end cookie cutter homes with options. But know that these options after selection may not be communicated with the tradesmen. I would tell someone to constantly check your change order before the pre-drywall walk through as well as after and keep on top of it. We had a few issues and one was not completed (Gas Line) to the laundry room until shortly before closing. It was pointed out prior to sheet rock but was never corrected and when I brought it up I was told that it was not included. I had to show my copy of the changed order where I had it highlighted. It was taken care of but Sheetrock and insulation had to be taken out and replaced. If I haven’t been proactive we would not have a gas line to hook our gas dryer into. I actually felt like a field manager.

I would recommend them because the house is good quality and we haven't had any trouble or any problems along the way. They fixed anything immediately.

They were very responsive. Quick to fix anything that you are not happy with about the house.

Buffington has met our needs on following up with issues and we feel the quality is good enough to recommend to others.

After taking handoff I noticed issues with circuit breakers, water leak in walls, Thermostat fixed in reverse, one floor will operate by setting temperature in another floor. Cracks on there at the handoff itself. concrete floor is not level properly water is getting staggment on the floor. Doors are not fixed properly seeing leaks with weather proof. Wow such a mess from great buffington homes. I felt really bad with my decision.

We are very happy with our Buffington Home! The home turned out so well, and we continue to think "Is this house really ours?!" I had experienced people I trust check out the home and every one of them talked about how well the home was constructed. Any issues I had after we had moved in (not a lot and minor) were promptly attended to. Ricky was so helpful from beginning to end, and our construction manager, Grant, was amazing through the building process and after.

I have always admired Buffington Homes for the quality of its houses, designs, and craftsmanship, and I was genuinely excited about the prospect of purchasing my home with the Buffington brand. However, my recent experiences with some of the sales and operations teams have been disappointing. Their approach and communication are not reflecting the high standards and strong reputation that Buffington is known for. It’s unfortunate to see that the professionalism and customer care expected from such a respected builder are not consistently demonstrated by the team members representing the company. I truly hope this feedback is taken constructively, as I still believe in the Buffington Homes brand and want to see it uphold its commitment to excellence across every level of customer interaction.

The overall quality is very nice, the process was smooth, and everybody explained everything they were doing all the way through, so there were no surprises.

Build quality is poor. Attention to details for a $1m+ homes is extremely poor

Overall very pleased with the process of lot selection, designing the home and the construction process.

It was a great experience. They showed strong professionalism, and they have excellent communication.

People, customer service, quality, timeliness, and respect - one star for each adding up to the 5 star review.

More attention to detail in the build phase.

Need deep inspection from Buffinton home during the progress of construction

I wanted to build my house with all knfomation at my exposure but i have not got a

I absolutely would recommend Buffington to a friend, and I already did to my parents who built a house too! Everything about Buffington is amazing from the emphasis on family to the expert craftsmanship of the homes they build. They really are setting you up to live a fairytale!

I am likely to recommend them to a friend because they gave great feedback while construction was being done. Both the field superintendant and project manager, as well as the salesman were great.

We would recommend Buffington to anyone looking to build a home.

It was a great experience.

We had an amazing experience working with Buffington. Everyone from our new home representative to our construction manager was very communicative and friendly. I don't think they missed a single detail on our home.

I felt like the finish work could have been better. Plus in the process of building my son pointed out there were warped boards used and they were replaced.
It has taken me from June until now to get some things corrected.
I appreciate Mike Sevoian for helping me.
He came to the cottage and went over the things that needed to be fixed. He stayed in touch with me and a couple of weeks later everything was corrected. I appreciate all he did in a timely fashion. Thank you!

The lot booking and contract signing amount is 4% of the property cost, which is quite high
