Richmond American Homes Reviews in Bremerton, WA

I am happy to go with Richmond American home. Everything went well from the first start until I got the house. They took care really good of customer.

Loved the weekly updates on the status of our home as it was being built. The whole process was very easy and hassle free. Thank you for everything! We love our new home!

5 weeks after moving in, and there are still incomplete tasks, a no response from local representative to fix…

We had a good experience with Richmond American and the house we were provided with we like a great deal; we believe it meets our needs and expectations for the most part. Their customer service is impeccable, and all follow up and questions are addressed promptly. Yet, there are improvement areas in terms of attention to detail in the workmanship as well as the follow up of rollover items pre and post move-in that need to be addressed to make the experience great and completely satisfactory.

From beginning to end, the Richmond American team have been attentive to detail and had the best communication with my husband and I during the home buying process. The sales agent, super intendant and home care specialist were always professional, personable and was always available to answer my questions.

Bought a brand new home with Richmond Homes via our own realtor and mortgage broker. Whole process was smooth, minus our first original interested house being sold beneath us the day we said we will put in an offer. We lucked out though and got a better lot anyway. The disappointment lays within the craftsmanship. We had paint run off on the roofs, blue tape from BOTH inspections not taken care of until we pushed and pushed and pushed for a fix but the pre inspection lady just brushed it off and said “that’s just a smudge, it will wipe off”, when clearly it was not. We have lived in our new home for 3 weeks, and had people in and out the entire time to fix things. We still have the interior of the front door to be painted as it never was, and garage door to be repainted as it was half assed, nails on our roof not take down, wires sticking out for no reason outside, and the thinnest layer of mulch laid down with no weed prevention so we have weeds growing through already. Communicating has been a rough road, you have to fight to get anything done that should have been done BEFORE we moved in and did address prior. Now we have to rearrange our schedules to do these appointments and have random contractors show up without appointments. So yeh, house looks nice, you pay the price, and then you open the book and you see the cheap labor. Maybe improve on the labor you hire, final quality and communication. Then residents will be satisfied 100% and give raving reviews. ... More

Weekly status updates of the our home construction with pictures from Graham was great and very helpful.

It’s been frustrating working with them.

First, for future buyers, read reviews on the builder to know what you’re facing. Next and most important is to have an inspection. There was mold in both the attic and crawlspace and now I cannot get signed documents that remediation was done. I plan to have another inspection done at 10 months. Take several people with you who have great attention to detail capabilities before you buy! The workmanship is substandard! I will have to have the eaves sprayed for mold and the whole house repainted in the next 2-3 years. There is some exposed wood visible on the exterior. At a month now, several doors will not close and the back sliding glass door cannot lock! I have a list of 20+ items that need attention. Had I seen the poor workmanship, I may not have bought this house. The financial process was a very rushed, daily nightmare with so many daily emails, some contradictory that I didn’t sleep for several days wondering what’s next. The onsite representative and Title experience were great. My best advice: Be aware before you sign! ... More

I recently purchased a home built by Richmond American Homes, and my overall experience has been far from satisfactory. Here’s a detailed review highlighting the issues I’ve encountered: Subfloors Bowed: The subfloors in my home were noticeably bowed from the beginning. Unfortunately, this issue requires major repair. Walking across uneven surfaces is frustrating, and I worry about the long-term impact on the structure. Cheap Materials: Richmond American Homes seem to have prioritized cost-cutting over quality. The cabinets, doors, trim, paint all appear to be low quality. For the price I paid, I expected better materials that would stand the test of time. Lack of Attention to Detail: The lack of craftsmanship is evident throughout the house. From crooked trim to mismatched paint, it’s clear that the builders didn’t take pride in their work. Even basic finishing touches were overlooked. Nails Coming Through Carpet: Imagine my surprise when I stepped on a nail poking through the carpet on the stairs! Not only is this uncomfortable, but it’s also a safety hazard. Proper installation procedures were clearly ignored. Curved Walls: Some of the interior walls have noticeable curves, which affects the overall aesthetics of the home. Straight walls are a basic expectation, especially in a new build. The lack of precision is disappointing. Nail Pops: I’ve already had several nail pops in the drywall. These unsightly bumps indicate poor construction practices. It’s frustrating to deal with repairs so soon after moving in. Shingles Not Securely Fastened to Roof: During a recent storm, I noticed loose shingles flapping in the wind. Proper installation and secure fastening are critical for a durable roof. Richmond American Homes clearly fell short in this regard. Holes in Siding Patched with Caulking: Instead of addressing siding issues properly, the builders opted for a quick fix—caulking over holes and gaps. This not only looks unprofessional but also raises concerns about water infiltration and insulation. In summary, my experience with Richmond American Homes has been disappointing. I urge potential buyers to hire a professional inspector to thoroughly inspect the workmanship, materials, and attention to detail before committing to a purchase. As a homeowner, I expected better, and I hope others can learn from my experience. ... More

ommisions of options we needed to know about things like floor color of carpet and laminate floor. paint color choice since are same price type of doors. cleaning of garage floor surface before moved in. "DOORS ARE TO TALL" WE ARE NOT GAINTS....

Not good the who did the initial walkthrough, is not trustworthy, she told things after we closed on the house. When we asked questions about parts missing on the house she became angry and argumentative. Very bad customer service!
