Richmond American Homes Reviews in Sacramento, CA

We love our new home, it was a great experience working with the sales team. They ensured we were updated along the way and we were able to watch our new home being built from the ground up. The quality of the home is excellent I would certainly recommend Richmond American to anyone looking for a new build.

You guys choice GE for you appliances but they have the worst service ever I’m out of stove for almost a month because it caught on fire and my microwave is full of black ashes inside and out and your Representative told me their not going to replace it so just wiped it down and you’ll be good to go? Until now we’re still waiting!

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!

The process was great. The only issues I had was electrical issues, and was not very happy that my heater during extremely cold mornings was out for two days. But Manuel communication was great and extremely sympathetic and helpful. Lupe also was awesome when I had questions regarding the house. The issues were resolved and have not had any since then.

We've been at our New Richmond American Home for about 3 months, and we have come across multiple issues before we've moved in and even before we received our keys to our home, someone kicked in the side garage door and stole our Waterless Water Heater, although it was replaced the door still needs to be looked at, because it does not look like it did before. Also touch-up paint at out address was brought to the attention from the start and still has not been done, there were a few items that were repaired when we put in a Warranty Request or when we talked to Sam the Supervisor, but the workers that came in accidently hit the side of the walls and left marks on them, and the Widow guy that came in was great and did some repairs and added in some stoppers, then told me about the outside of the windows and to let Richmond know that there is stucco that is covering the drain holes and they should have someone come out and scrap out the stucco so it does not damage the windows when the weather gets bad. Later I was going to take a bath and turned the water on, and the knobs came off another item that I need to tell Richmond about, my wife was going to take a walk when the weather got better and noticed small puddles of water on our front porch that could be a safety hazard and was going to notify Richmond about those issues, then I started to notice that our walls in the kitchen were painted with 2 different type of paint flat and glossy white paint, I pointed it out to the guys that we did the walk through with, but they stated it was the reflection, after living here for 3 months though shadow reflections did not go away and noticed that in some areas it was painted with flat and glossy paint... The inside of the house is flat white, and I would like to get that taken care of as well. Another thing is that when they put cement on the side of the house, they left a pile of dirt there, what was I going to with a pile of dirt? I thought they would have it removed after they finished, but it is still there, then the trash they left I had to pick up after we moved in doesn't Richmond workers look around and clean up after themselves after they work and pick up their trash? I would of expected better more from Richmond American to do a better job on house they are building and look at things carefully before selling homes that cost over $700.000. Another thing I noticed that appliances they put in are slightly off and the baseboard is missing from under the microwave and oven, I was cleaning up and picked up what I dropped and noted a gap under there, again areas that are not being looked at carefully. My wife and I love the area, but the house should of been put together like the display house... I hope that in the future that Richmond American will be more attentive to what they do when building homes for future and present buyers. ... More

Overall great experience. A few issues with the quality of the build, however the home care specialist so far has been very responsive and extremely helpful with our home warranty repairs.

No transparency throughout the process, lack of communication by the lender and loan processor. May not buy a new home again due to my experience.

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

The one department RA needs major improvement on is the Loan/Mortgage department. I had a very bad experience with them at the closing of escrow. I wish I knew certain things prior to closing. I left $ on the table because I was told I couldn't get the incentives ( closing cost incentive, loan rate credit ) in its entirety because I would make money off that. So they gave me less of what they initially told me they would give me.

The buying process was very easy.

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!

The whole process was met my expectations of a builder.

Best customer service and home absolutely wonderful !!!

Lori and Jake are awesome! They were both very helpful and made our experience in buying our new home an easy process. They are a team to keep. We are grateful for all their help.

Warranty after sales is complete is nonexistent . Closed on November 11 and still can not use the hot water in my bathroom or shave in my private space I am paying so much for. My worst house buying experience ever. !

Just an overall excellent experience, beautiful home, from Sales to Construction to Home Care to Mortgage, all handled seamlessly.

Good attention and service from sales staff. Responses on time but not always with solutions. Average quality homes in general. Lack of clarify on timeline, like closing date. Lack of communication in some aspects.

Carla and Nicole is very helpful during this home-buying journey. Tim is very responsive for every question I have about the house.
