Richmond American Reviews in Orlando, FL

Overall I can say we love our Richmond American home. However the buying experience did not go as smoothly as I imagined it to be when it came down to closing. Our house was definitely not ready to close on our closing date. I was pushed back once already for a stairwell railing replacement due to the wrong railing installed. I wish I could of delayed our closing again due to the fact our house was very dirty on our closing date. My first 2 days of owning the house was spent cleaning the entirety of the house from dust and dirt. It took several repeats of deep cleaning to remove dirt and excess paint off the LVO and carpet. Something that should not of happened and did take away the excitement of moving into a new home. I did hire a 3rd party inspection in which found a few major and several cosmetic issues. Major issues were repaired but had still had several other cosmetic issues needing to be repaired that was not completed prior to closing. Management did complete almost all cosmetic items in a timely manner after settlement. We have had multiple issues regarding irrigation pipes leaking but they have been addressed. The grass that is placed throughout the property and community is Bahia. Bahia grass so far has been low maintenance but our grass was not watered regularly when placed prior to settling. Majority of the grass in the front yard is very patchy along with the countless nails and metal fragments that is constantly being found. I have yet to walk barefoot on my own grass without the fear of stepping on a rusted nail. ... More

GET EVERYTHING DONE BEFORE CLOSING, even punch list items that they promise will get done asap because even these have been an absolute pain in the rear to get taken care of. And you think that's hard, warranty is absolute garbage, you have to get the top manager involved or you won't be getting a response. I wish we had not rushed final closing, and delayed closing like some of our neighbors did, because we are over a month from when we closed and are still waiting for punch list items to be finished. At this point we're about to start opening up complaints in an effort to get people to move their butts. ... More

The details you get for the price of the home is better than any other home we saw.

Awesome sales staff. Terrible build experience. Lots of promises and lip service from the superintendent. No one comes back after closing to address issues.

Bad experience, any time I’m referring Richmond

Listing out all the issues and horrible customer service we experienced would do nothing for anyone. So, save yourself the time and heartache and DO NOT BUY A RICHMOND AMERICAN HOME. Take your hard earned money and spend it somewhere else. All the reviews are true. Horrible craftsmanship, quality is cheap and customer services (after they take your money) is less than stellar. You've been warned. DON'T DO IT!

Desde el día uno que nos mudamos se nos va la corriente en la cocina se nos dañó todo lo d esa nevera hicimos el reporte y hasta hoy 12/31/2023 no han solucionado el problema sin decir que el piso tiene detalles la alfonbra de la escalera tiene pintura en los bordes las manillas absolutamente todas las tocaba y te quedaban en las manos allí la reglamos como pudimos ya que eso no puede esperar y lo podíamos hacer lo d de la electricidad se escapa de nuestras manos para resolverlo.
