Dear Revdex.com Conciliation and Engagement Specialist: ? We are in receipt of the homeowner complaint ? correspondence, ID#: [redacted] We appreciate the opportunity to respond below because we take extreme ? pride in our homeowner ? relations and customer serviceAs an example, we are the only Arizona homebuilder ? to ever be voted #by homeowners in North America on the Eliant Homebuyer Satisfaction SurveyIn addition, homeowners have voted us #1an unprecedented ? separate years? To begin with, we do not, nor does our vendor Southwest Residential Interiors, offer this laminate material to our homebuyersMoreover we have never offered ? it, because it is not as durable as other products we offerMoreover, this product does not perform ? well when exposed to water or sharp objects or animalsHowever, our vendor provided it to the Meluch's at their ? specific request? As you know, there are three areas of concern: Discoloration, lippage,and small chips on some floor plank edgesPlease know the following: the discoloration ? was not caused by defective product ? or workmanshipThe discoloration was found where the homebuyer ? placed an area rug, which should not have been placed without ? proper backingHowever, our vendor (Southwest Residential Interiors), as a courtesy and at no charge, replaced planks in that area, as well as replaced water damaged planks found by the kitchen sink and kitchen island that were caused by water? In regards to the lippage, Southwest Residential requested an independent inspector from Shaw Industries come out and perform an inspection on the floorIn his inspection report summary, he stated that in an area extending over square feet, he found approximately planks that exceeded toleranceThis was caused by the baseboards pinching down on the laminate, thus restricting their ability to move or expand, which is necessary for a floating ? floor installationRosewood then had our trim carpenter subcontractor come out and release or raise the baseboards to help alleviate the pinching per the report's recommendations? As far as the chipping, the independent ? inspector observed that they occurred where bar stools were placed without ? protective pads on their bottomsThe inspector also found a few other planks exhibiting a chip that he believed were locally caused and not a manufacturers defect or workmanship ? relatedHowever, again as a courtesy (and at no charge), Southwest Residential replaced a majority ? of these planks? We also have our trim carpenter scheduled to re-visit ? the home early next week to inspect all baseboards in the affected areas to ensure that we have successfully alleviated any potential pinching concernsOur painting ? subcontractor ? will then follow to putty, re-caulk and paint all baseboards in order to return them to their original condition? In conclusion, we feel we have been very responsive in correcting the few planks that exhibited above tolerance lippage.? Additionally, Rosewood Homes (and our vendors) have exhibited ? good faith by replacing other? ? planks, that were damaged while the homeowners lived in the home
? Rosewood’s response is the exact reason we reached out to the Revdex.comWe are completely and utterly confused by their comments about themselves and Southwest Interiors not offering/never offering the laminate hardwood productThe day we went to design our home with one of Southwest Interiors Designers, the laminate hardwood that we choose was in their showroom as an optionSo, if they do not offer this product then why was it an option in their showroom? Moreover, why didn’t their Design Specialist inform us that if they do not offer it (despite its presence in their showroom), it would be a special order, and more importantly that they do not support this product Isn’t part of a Design Specialist’s job helping the homeowner make the best, informed decision about the products going into their home? If they felt so strongly about a product they had in the showroom (but apparently do not offer), why was nothing communicated to us? We never special ordered this product to our knowledge, as it was a flooring option in the showroomThere was no protocol we had to go through that indicated it was a special orderIn our paper copies of our design choices, there is nothing that indicates it was a special order To go into further detail I encourage that Rosewood visit the Shaw Flooring website and take a look at the warranty information for our specific floorIt clearly states that the issues we are experiencing (discoloration, warping, chipping) should never happenThere have never been excessive amounts of water left on our floor, so any accusation of us not maintaining our floor properly due to water damage is completely outrageous and just goes to prove our point further that our floor is of poor quality (which Rosewood now agrees)Also on Shaw’s warranty it does not state anywhere that a specific type of rug/backing MUST be placed on flooringIt says that discoloration should not happen due to furniture/sunlight damageWe would like to see anyone who has ever heard of not being allowed to place a rug on their floor and if this is information we should know, then why Rosewood/Southwest Interiors didn’t disclose this vital piece of information during the design process We did not special request this flooring as it was an option on their showroom floor therefore a product they must stand byYes, they have replaced individual planks as we have requested them and due to our flooring warranty, they must replace the planks at no cost to usWe do not appreciate them talking about them replacing it at no cost to us like they are going out of their way to provide such a wonderful serviceWe do not find that replacing individual planks to be an effective solution to this ongoing problemRosewood/Southwest Interiors must continue replacing individual planks for the next years under warrantyWe are asking for a new floor because 1) We did not special request this flooring, 2) We were not told by Rosewood that they do not/will not support this product, and finally, 3) We are incredibly disgruntled about disrupting our daily lives every month to continue fixing individual planks for the next years It’s one thing to try to put blame back on the homeowner (who are the reason Rosewood has won all the awards they so humbly pointed out and who keep them in business), but to side with other businesses and not even attempt to help in our battle with Shaw Flooring is something completely different.? Their overall lack of communication, customer service, and flat out disrespect to us homeowners is unacceptableIt’s a wonder Rosewood has won any awards at all with customer service like this

Dear Revdex.com: Please know that the statement that the HOA fees were not disclosed is not accurateThe HOA fees, along with other important information, were disclosed in the CC&R’s that were provided to the homebuyerMoreover, the CC&R’s are not a 500-page documentThe CC&R’s are 45-pages including a Table of Contents that identifies each item discussed in the CC&R’s Please also know that we have the CC&R’s available at our Sales Office so prospective homebuyers can review the CC&R’s well before ever entering into a Purchase AgreementIn fact, many prospective homebuyers review the CC&R’s before purchasing and all homebuyers should review the CCR’s within a few days of purchasing because CC&R’s are important “Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions” that encumber every home in the neighborhood We also provided this homebuyer with an additional days AFTER purchasing where they had the opportunity to cancel escrow and receive a full refund if they were unhappy with any of the documents or unhappy with anything at allThis additional 21-days gave the homebuyer a generous amount of time to review everything in their totality to be sure they wanted to move forward After 21-days, the homebuyer then signed our “Start Authorization” waiving all contingencies while also requesting that we obtain the building permit then start construction on the home with their specific selections I am sorry that the homebuyer indicates that they didn’t review the CC&R’s before purchasing or even review them during the 21-day “free look” period because the homebuyer could have cancelled and received a full refund during that time Please also know that the one-time homeowner contribution for the HOA “Reserve Contribution” is actually $not $Moreover, the homebuilder isn’t collecting this or receiving thisThe escrow company is collecting this for the Homeowners Association for the benefit of the homebuyer And finally, the homeowners letter does not state that they wouldn’t have purchased because of the $that is collected by the Homeowners AssociationThat’s likely because these monies benefit the homeowner and this home is well worth it even with this $HOA feeIn fact, the price of this (and other homes) in the neighborhood have already increased by several thousand dollars while this home has been under construction We are unable to waive this $because all homebuyers are required to pay this to help fund their Homeowners Association Respectfully, Rosewood Homes
We feel it was quite clear in our first response that we disclosed everything and sent you the information to document it We are sorry that he did not (and admitted as such) that he did not read all the documents he was given Please check our history for how long we have been in business and have NEVER had this complaint before We stand behind our first response
