Richmond American Homes Reviews in Sacramento, CA

Decided to buy a ready to move in house that wasn’t ready; Sales rep quit halfway into the buying process; The maker’s lender was extremely incompetent and did not communicate much of anything to me; had to resubmit multiple documents multiple times; lending agent stopped communicating the last few weeks before my expected close date; new lending agent was clueless about the process and had me resubmit documents that were already on file; everything was disorganized and hectic and the process was extremely frustrating…when we moved in, the home had numerous issues to deal with that took forever to get fixed; the home’s workmanship and quality was poor…I should’ve done more research on the builder and area; the same model home was sold for way less just a few weeks prior…buyer beware ...

Our experience with Richmond American Homes has been nothing short of a disaster, and I feel compelled to warn potential buyers. From misleading information to shockingly poor quality and abysmal customer service, this builder has proven to be a master of deception. Before closing, we were provided incorrect school zoning information. It later became clear they had the correct details but deliberately withheld them until after the closing date. This blatant dishonesty alone should be a massive red flag for anyone considering their homes. Their claims of "good quality" are an absolute joke. On the very first day we moved in, all the toilets were inexplicably clogged. We desperately tried to reach their emergency team, but there was no response, forcing my family, including my elderly mother, to seek refuge at a friend's house in the middle of the night. The emergency team finally showed up the next day. Not only did they fail to apologize for this horrific ordeal, but they also didn’t reimburse me. This level of disregard for their customers' well-being is simply unacceptable. Beyond the initial plumbing nightmare, we've been plagued with numerous other quality issues. Doors, windows, and water taps all presented problems, and while some were eventually "fixed," these repairs often took an excessive amount of time, and new issues continue to emerge even after the so-called fixes. It's clear that their homes are built with the cheapest materials and/or minimal care. I've already saved several friends from making the same mistake, directing them to a more reputable builder instead. I urge anyone considering Richmond American Homes to treat them as your absolute last option. Be extremely cautious with their sellers, as they seem to prioritize making a sale over providing accurate information. I genuinely feel tricked and misled by this builder. Save yourself the stress, frustration, and financial burden. Look elsewhere. ... More

Bought a model house couple months ago already started having problems with water leaking everywhere there’s cracks all over my exterior walls and no one takes the responsibility.

Bad and cheap materials

Poor house quality from floor to ceiling. We were assured of the 1st 30-day warranty to fix chips, cracks, paints, etc but nobody answered us after multiple email, calls and text messages. Very unprofessional people!! Never again with this builder!

Lack of communication, lack of professionalism, they lied straight to my face. I opted to upgrade to the finished garage and they forgot to finish my garage walls after I pointed it out during our walkthrough they rushed the job and the quality was horrible. They painted around everything that was already mounted on the walls and just looked horrible so I had to ask them to fix it again. They said they had someone come out and clean the windows and they never did. The windows were a mess with caulking all over them. I pointed it out and they never came back to clean them. Very unhappy but it was too late to walk away ... More

Beware be ready for a cheapest paper quality home, forget the new home feeling and start learning to beg with builders team! None of the work is completed and now we have to be on hook to constant chasing builder teams, almost all points of the home including outside and inside are just cheap very hasty job and feels like I just bought a home from Dollar Store but paid premium as new home!
