11/1/17   [redacted] RE: Revdex.com Case # [redacted]   Dear [redacted]: The home of [redacted] closed over a year ago. [redacted], Division President, contacted [redacted] directly on...

10/26/2017 to discuss her concerns. [redacted] explained to the homeowner that screens are not a part of the sliding doors we installed in the home.

4/13/2016   Denver/Boulder Revdex.com Attention: [redacted] 1020 Cherokee St. Denver, CO 80204-4039   RE: Revdex.com Case # [redacted]   Dear Ms. [redacted] Richmond American Homes has worked extensively, and beyond our typical scope to address Mr. [redacted]’s concerns. The yard was originally graded to the required specification of the approved survey plan. Mr. [redacted] was not happy with the yard once the road was added, so we have added fill dirt to the rear of the yard to lift the property and adjusted the grade slope to adjust the irrigation back to the curb of the new road. Additionally, Richmond removed dirt and replanted sod in another area that Mr. [redacted] felt was unpleasant. All completed work is within industry tolerance, and will not be altered further. Richmond American Homes has done everything within the guidelines of the agreed upon warranty program and the approved city plans to address this concern. Any changes beyond what has been done would be outside the municipality approved survey plan. We apologize for any inconvenience Mr. [redacted] has experienced, however as stated we have done everything within the approved survey plan to address the homeowner’s concerns. Thank you, [redacted] Orlando Home Care Director Richmond American Homes

9/8/2017 [redacted]   Dear Mr. [redacted],                 [redacted], met with homeowner [redacted]...

on 9/6/2017 to review her concerns. The concerns were evaluated to identify the items that did not meet industry standards. The flooring trade met with myself and the homeowner on the afternoon of 9/6/2017 and will schedule a date with the homeowner to address the flooring issue. Following the flooring repair, painters will be scheduled to address minor touch-ups related to the work completed. Our apologies for frustrations our customer has experienced and we will strive to resolve the concerns. I will follow-up with the homeowner regarding progress and will communicate directly with the homeowner.   Please let us know if you have any additional questions.   Sincerely, [redacted] Richmond American Homes

11/1/16   Denver/Boulder Revdex.com Attention: [redacted]   RE: Revdex.com Case # [redacted]   Dear [redacted]:   [redacted] contacted Richmond American Homes back in early May 2016, with concerns regarding the toilet...

flappers inside his toilet tanks.  Our area Home Care Representative [redacted], contacted [redacted] and our plumber, Premier Plumbing, to schedule an appointment for 5/16/2016.  Upon the inspection of the toilet tank flappers at the above mentioned appointment it was identified by Premier Plumber that [redacted] had been using a chemical tablet (OGF Tablet) in all 3 toilet tanks for cleaning purposes.  It was explained to [redacted] the negative effects the tablets can have on the toilet part’s longevity. The tablets can prematurely corrode the rubber flaps and should not be used. Based on the Plumbing companies assessment, this did not fall under the Limited Warranty Guidelines. It was communicated to be a homeowner maintenance item and [redacted] would be responsible for the cost of the repairs, $115.08. [redacted] paid and problem was resolved that day.    In regards to concerns about the carpet, we have an appointment scheduled for 11/3 to assess. They are requesting to have the carpet re-stretched. We will communicate a final decision to the homeowner based on the information gathered at the appointment.   We apologize for any frustration our customer may have experienced and we are working to resolve the concerns.   Please let us know if you have any questions.   Sincerely,   [redacted] Home Care Supervisor Richmond American Homes

[redacted]            [redacted]   Dear [redacted]:   In response to the above mentioned Revdex.com complaint, Richmond American Homes has addressed this complaint as follows:   [redacted] purchased and closed on this home in June 2016.  The front and rear yard landscaping is provided by Richmond American Homes on all homes within this community.  Typical landscaping is sod installation at the front and rear with P&E installed at 5’ perimeter around the foundation with rock placed within these areas.  Within this community, there are restrictions related through the municipality which dictates the amount of sod placed within the rear of each lot.  Apparently, [redacted] deemed the amount of rock placed was in excess of expectations, but is typical as per the requirements.  In keeping with good customer relations, Richmond Homes is in the process of scheduling some of this rock removed from the rear yard.   We apologize for any frustration our customer may have experienced and please let us know if you have any further questions related to this matter.   Sincerely,     [redacted] Home Care Director [redacted] www.RichmondAmerican.com

The customer’s concerns were reviewed and a resolution was reached that both parties agreed to.   We apologize for any frustration our customer may have experienced and we are working to resolve the concerns.   Please let us know if you have any questions.   Sincerely,   [redacted] Richmond American Homes

11/7/17   [redacted]   RE: Revdex.com Case # [redacted]   Dear [redacted]:   The division has reviewed the concerns at the home of [redacted] per the agreed upon Warranty Guidelines, and has scheduled the items identified as warrantable. The stairs for the garage have been delivered and painted, and are awaiting trade installation.   The remaining items that will be addressed are scheduled on the 11/10/2017 workday that customer chose. We apologize for the frustration [redacted] has experienced, and will continue to communicate directly with the homeowner until the warrantable repairs are completed.   Please let us know if you have any questions.   Sincerely, [redacted]

Revdex.com:

Complaint: [redacted]
I am rejecting this response because: There was clearly a lack of craftsmanship in the pouring of the driveway as noted by the independent third party. Their shoddy work was also evident in the fact that part of the driveway had to be replaced before closing because it had already descended and cracked. The current issues can be seen continuing off of the foundation of the house so I'm also quite worried about future foundation issues popping up in the near future. I still can not fathom after spending over 350k for a house how poorly the house was constructed, the driveway is only the largest, costliest and most glaring example of just how poorly they "construct" their houses. I hope other potential buyers do their research before signing on to do business with this shady company. I must also mention that their warranty department will fight you for every issue that pops up in the first year and will flat out refuse to correct the majority of issues.
Sincerely,
[redacted]
