One of the worst builders. They must use the cheapest contractors and materials they can find. After 3 years I am having to basically replace and repair everything. Do not have them build a shed for you because they would probably mess it up.

We purchased in Elizabeth City NC. If we had read some these reviews, we probably would not have considered even looking. Our overall experience was great. Drew ** our sales representative was over the top. He was above and beyond to help all his clients.

I would without any doubt choose ZERO stars if possible!! They are the worst home builder by far. Since day ONE nothing but problems. During the walk through the Ryan Homes person was irritated with me because of all the errors I pointed out. He even stated to me "you get what you pay for". I should have taken that as a red flag, but this was my first home, and I was proud to buy it on my own. As we continued with the walk through, I requested a new refrigerator because the one that was there had a small dent. I NEVER got a new one and still have it.
I requested a new dishwasher because the one that was there was discolored (looked rusty). It was replaced. I have done two separate claims on garbage disposable, and it still work. the repairman advised it's the worst brand and it just needs to be replaced. I just use it. My cabinet is falling apart. No warranty on that (surprise surprise). The cabinet doors are uneven and there is a gap in between the doors. There is a line across my living room ceiling, and I figured it was from house settling. Since then, I noticed a mold spot in my living room ceiling (I didn't know it was mold at first). I wiped it down and over time it would come back so I had someone go in the crawl space to look and see what it was. To my surprise there was a hole in my roof, and the crawl space was so bad you can't even get up there and walk around. I was told that if someone was to walk on the ceiling they would come through.
I called Ryan Homes and did a claim, and some ** came out with a step ladder and couldn't get up there to see anything. There is not a ladder attached to the ceiling like there should be. I was told by this clown from Ryan Homes I had to get a licensed roofer to come out and prove it is builder fault. I did just that. The licensed roofer came and went to the roof and took pictures of all the errors. He went into the crawl space and stated it was extremely dangerous. He observed the hole in my roof and stated there is no boot anywhere. He believes there was never a boot attached because there is no evidence of it. So, I contacted Ryan Homes again with my new pictures and the paperwork from the licensed roofer.
I have heard nothing from Ryan Homes. I reached back out to them, and they said they didn't get any new pictures. I sent proof of date and time sent and waited for them to call me back. They are still telling me it's my fault for not getting on the roof every year to inspect it. How or why would I get on a roof (a brand-new roof) to inspect it. Ryan Homes is refusing to fix their crapping construction. The house is junk!! Never buy a Ryan home!!!! They don't stand by their craftsmanship and a bunch of ** working for them who don't want to help in any way and jut blame the homeowner. Pure trash!!!!

Ryan Homes are not worth of buying. Just completed a year and see the hot water is not at all coming on any of the floors. Heating is set for 120 and just after completion of a year we have this issue and not sure how many we will see in 2 years. Definitely I will suggest Ryan Homes only to my hard enemies and not any friends. Please stay away from Ryan Homes. Else will regret your decision with losses. Compromised construction quality.

We were looking into buying a home for our son in Harrisonburg VA and saw Ryan Homes had a neighborhood in budget. We made an appointment and then decided to just rent something and possibly buy later. I cancelled my appointment and then the aggressive salesman attacked. He told me what I should do and I’m wasting money renting. I’m a grown man and do not need to be told what to do. It’s bad enough that apparently don’t build a quality home, but they hire used car salesman for the site. There is now no chance we build or buy w/ Ryan Homes.

I would choose 0 stars if possible. Be 100% sure you want the townhouse you’re placing a deposit for or there is a good chance you will need to hire a lawyer to get your deposit back. I had to consult 2 lawyers in order to get ANY communication with Ryan Homes and NVR mortgage about returning my $4,000 deposit back. If I didn’t get a lawyer I am almost certain they would have tried to keep my deposit. They now have the two biggest realtor companies in the area on the don’t do business with list. Again, don’t sign a single thing about placing a deposit unless you’re 100% sure you want the townhome and can afford the townhome or you will need to hire a lawyer. Do your research about Ryan Homes and NVR mortgage before even thinking about their builds. Save yourself the headache and $.

I bought a condo in March 2025 from Ryan Homes. After looking at the reviews, I shared my concern with my salesperson and he assured me that North Carolina saw very few bad reviews. Especially this area. Since closing on my condo, I’ve had them repair the same faucet in the guest bathroom that only gets used once or twice a month four times. They replaced the faucet twice. They can’t figure out why it keeps leaking.
I’ve also had them out three times for my garage door. Hopefully, it is fixed now. Now I’m having troubles with my furnace. I’m in Elizabeth City, North Carolina and we’re getting ready to have a snowstorm. I keep my heat at 60 at night. When I wake up I turn it to 64. When I turned it to 64, I heard popping and it smelled like my furnace was on fire. I turned it off immediately and sent in a warranty request for an emergency trip.
It’s now more than 24 hours later and I cannot get anyone to come out and look at it. I was supposed to be on my way to visit my granddaughter for Christmas in Massachusetts. I can’t leave. I can’t leave my condo with no heat. The pipes will burst, plus we are supposed to get a lot of really bad weather and I had left this morning, as I was intending, I would’ve been long past all this weather.
I’ve spoken twice with Fairways at Laguna Oaks, which is supposed to be the company taking care of my warranty. They told me that my issue is not an emergency technically. How is not having heat for two days now not in an emergency? Especially when we’re getting ready for a really bad storm. I’m going to have to go out and buy a little heater for the bedroom just so I can stay warm tonight and hopefully they’ll get it fixed soon. I’m totally frustrated with Ryan Homes and their warranty and lack of care with this Fairways at Laguna Oaks. Everyone else has been so nice, but this company could care less. They have an excuse for everything.

2) They do not provide the ALTA Settlement Statement for the agents to review if corrections are needed. You will get it at the closing office only if asked.
3) When completing your client's paperwork for NVR loan the sales rep will change your Commission portion information without notice, regardless of what you tell them how much the buyer needs to pay you.
4) The NAN/Office for the loan does not call you back to follow up on your client's loan.
5) The loan officer does not include the buyers agents when sending documents to the buyer, even if your client request it.
Quality of Work
1) Their homes are poorly built.
2) Sewage backs up into the house.

Before purchasing our Ryan Home, we read a lot of reviews, including complaints. Many of the complaints were about various aspects about quality and craftsmanship. We found that all such concerns can be answered by the builder either prior to close or in the first year warranty. It is advantageous to get most of your concerns addressed prior to close when possible but for us, 50 percent of our punch list was addressed by our warranty guy, Don ** who did a fantastic job addressing our concerns over the course of 1 year warranty. We recognize that the home we purchased was not a custom build but a production tract home that has a great floor plan and curb appeal. This is not to say there is no expectations when buying a new home, but rather recognition that there will likely be items you want to see addressed for a production home. Advice is to work with the builder, and they will work with you. We love our home.

The worst purchase of my life. I have had nothing but problems since the sales rep lied to me through the whole process. And after moving in I've had a lot of problems, including stone falling off the face of my home that Ryan will not warrant after the first year of owning. I have doors that continually won't open or shut. I believe there are structural issues with the home because the earth has been actually pulling away from the walls of the foundation. If I had it to do over again, I wouldn't pay a dollar for this house. Matter of fact, I'd ask them to pay me for wasting my time.

I wouldn’t recommend my friends and family to buy Ryan Homes. The house is built quickly to get built within their timeline without financial penalties. This led to many repairs after the fact. Workmanship is poor. A house should be move in ready, not to repair it.

Everything was good when we went to the meeting. But the disaster soon happened. Shortly after they placed the property on the edge of a pond, retention pond and almost didn't want to fix that. Didn't want to put a deck in wanted us to pay for it. Continuously screwed up stuff on-site. The PM didn't read cut. Sheets didn't want to honor upgrades.
So if you're getting something, make sure it's basic, don't get upgrades, because they won't honor the upgrades. We were supposed to get herring bone. It was part of the upgrade package, and we even had paperwork that showed that it was supposed to have been upgrade and they didn't want to honor it because they just didn't want to build it. However they want. Ohh, by the way, they'll pressure wash your walls in your garage, so you're you're going to need a moisture test. If you're doing any purchases from them, because chances are you have mold in your house? Make sure you get a home inspector with a mold test because there's lumber mold also in your rafters of every home.

We have been living in our Ryan built home for 2 years. We feel extremely frustrated with the quality of materials used in our home. Damaged granite, a sump pump that broke 3 months after moving in & just last week, our springs on our garage door snapped! Again- this is a 2 year old home. Garage door springs should easily last 15 or more years. When we noticed the damage in our granite - on our closing day, we were continually told, “It’s granite, it’s a natural stone & there are imperfections”. We know, we have owned 5 homes. Our granite doesn’t have just imperfections, it is damaged & definitely a low grade granite. Ryan refused to work with us.
Our sump pump broke 3 months after moving in, water in our basement. They did respond quickly to this & replaced the sump pump. We have since refinished our basement & added a backup system. Last week, our garage door springs snapped. They needed to be replaced. We contacted Ryan Homes & they basically washed their hands of it because it is no longer under warranty. We then contacted the actual manufacturer of the springs & they told us that “we get what Ryan pays for”. Clearly again, picking low grade materials. We had to pay close to $1,000 to purchase new springs & have them installed. Ryan Homes is not for you if you’re looking for a quality built home. We are sorry we chose them & will not recommend their services to anyone.

I am writing this review about the new Ryan Homes I purchased in Inwood West Virginia, the community is called "South Brook", I have been in the house for 1-1/2 years.. Ryan Homes is a typical garbage builder that produces garbage and gets away with it, they use the cheapest garbage they can and the cheapest labor they can to slap their cheesy houses together..They refuse to repair their garbage too, I have had loose siding repaired on my home incorrectly which came loose again a few months after the repair but they refuse to fix it right because the 1 year (joke) warranty has expired (even though it's the same siding that they hacked together originally).
My sidewalk cracked within a couple of months of my move in date but they said the crack wasn't wide enough to warrant a repair, my porch stoop was also damaged during the construction and they patched up their hack job with mortar that dried to a different shade than the rest of the concrete, I told them I wanted the whole stoop redone and they refused to do it, what they did do was paint it and the entire sidewalk which lasted a little over a year before the paint wore through. The grading job on my lot is pathetic, the yard is filled with rocks and trash from the construction and the sod won't grow because the yard has little or no top-soil.
My house has a drainage ditch in front of it which catches and funnels rain water, they use a large plastic tube which goes under the driveway and connects the drainage ditch to adjoining homes, well this tube is already becoming detached from itself and warping, no doubt the cheapest piece of garbage they could find which is an eyesore and not easily remedied..The carpet and padding in the home are garbage, the cabinets are garbage (even though I got the upgraded ones). The sliding glass doors are garbage, the walls in the master bath at the shower entrance are not square, everything about this house reeks with 'cheesy'...
You have to be filthy rich or build a time machine and go back in time to get a decent quality house built in this country anymore. I guess bricks are extinct even though they're just made out of clay and priced like gold if you want a house built with them. The icing on the cake is how filthy rich NVR has become (the parent company of Ryan) by building these cracker boxes and selling off the mortgages within the first year after you buy from them. I hope they're proud of themselves for a 'job well done'..

This company is horrible, clearly pay inspectors off to pass inspection, one example in our home is the kitchen sink which should have between 4 to 6 clips holding it up they only uses 2, siding has been ripped off a couple times because of windy days not a hurricane just windy days, had to replace the garage door because it too caved in because of the wind, and that’s not even every issue there has been so far, they should be sued and put out of business.

I am extremely disappointed with the quality of construction in my newly built home by Ryan Homes. The workmanship and attention to detail fall far below what I expected from a builder of this reputation. The overall experience has been frustrating and disheartening. One of the most concerning issues involves the uneven second-floor subflooring. I was informed that the problem stemmed from the trusses being approximately 1/8 to 1/4 inch off, which caused the floors to become uneven and crack/pop When walking upstairs. Although the builder attempted repairs the issue affects the entire second floor and remains unresolved.
Additionally, the first-floor ceiling appears bowed. To investigate, the builder cut a large section of the ceiling and determined that a U-bracket on trusses had not been installed flush. The chosen “fix” was to “float” the ceiling to change the line of sight and conceal the imperfection. which did hide that bow BUT created another. When I requested written documentation detailing the exact issues identified and the corrective measures taken, I was told that Ryan Homes would not provide this information in writing. Beyond these concerns, numerous quality and workmanship problems including:
• Dented, chipped, and poorly painted baseboards• Damaged French doors that appear to have been dropped and hastily repainted
• Chipped stairs and banisters from poor installation
• Sloppy paintwork both inside and outside, with drips, scuffs, and uneven finishes
• Shower floor pan sealed improperly with grout, which is now cracking and raising concerns about moisture and mold
• Vent fans that rattle loudly when exposed to wind, suggesting poor installation or substandard materials
• Walls cracking
Unfortunately, I’ve learned that these problems are not unique to my home—several neighbors have reported similar issues with poor workmanship. Buying a new home is one of the largest investments a person can make, and the quality received here is unacceptable for the price paid. I expected far better from Ryan Homes, and I urge potential buyers to be cautious and fully informed before moving forward.

My experience with Ryan Homes, Timothy Branch location has been in the toilet, no stars. Please do not buy a Ryan Home. The fresh air intake is on the roof, there is a power plant billowing smoke down the street. The houses are built tight without enough ventilation. The mechanical ventilation system is not powerful enough to circulate the air in the homes, which causes poor air quality to build up in the home. The quality of work is horrible. Please be sure to have your own inspection team.
Also note that DPIE does not enforce that the companies meet code standards. They only sign off on a third party's statement. Several top plates of my home were not sealed. The HVAC system did not pass but they still sold the house to me. They only came back 2.5 months later because I CALLED because I got sick. Make sure you read and understand everything about insulation and HVAC or you will feel like you're living in a microwave. One neighbor was rushed to the ER because the ventilation was so bad. The Warranty managers are not on-site.
They want to come to your house with the contractor. PEG LLC is the 3rd party company signing off on the work. Southern Maryland Heating and Air are the HVAC and ductwork providers. PLEASE PLEASE ask for the list of contractors building your house. If you can forgo the NVR/Ryan Homes Warranty package, you should because their main job is to tell you no to everything.
I forgot to mention, make sure you drive past your house while they are building it because mine did not have door knob until 2 weeks before settlement. Prior to that, the front door and garage doors were left WIDE open. Now I am having so many issues and they will not fix them. I have been going back and forth with them since July 17, 2025. I have far more things to do than waste my time, so obviously something is wrong. My family and I are getting sick due to poor indoor air quality. Lastly, please do your research on homeownership and building in Prince George's County. No one is held accountable. Very sad.

I found this overview (review summary) describing The Ryan Home experience. It captures the experience perfectly. “Overall, Ryan Homes reviews are mixed, with many recent negative reports pointing to shoddy workmanship, low-quality materials, and unresponsive customer service, especially regarding warranty claims.” This is not my first Ryan home and I find it unfortunate that they continue to make customer (warranty) service difficult to navigate.

My experience with Ryan Homes in Cleveland and Columbus area have always been nothing short of a pleasant experience right from the time I signed up with their sales team, through the buying process and mortgage with their NVR team and recently with their warranty customer service as well. I have built with Ryan Homes at different times over the years in different cities as I move frequently for my work. Over the years I noticed that this is one builder who truly listens to their customers and adapt their building process to consistently improve their quality through continuous improvement.
Though I never had any major issues in their construction, when I had to contact their warranty division in Columbus, OH to fix, their response time was amazingly quicker and the very next day, their warranty manager was at my house with his team and started the work. The finished work was very impressive and they went out of their way with their customer service to make it new again as a whole.

I highly recommend avoiding Ryan Homes for your new build. We were so excited to move into our new home and are sadly disappointed after only a week. The incredibly sloppy level of craftsmanship and cheap materials were quite a surprise. The paint and drywall looks like it was done by a toddler. Our sod was dead before we ever got to the property. Mirrors were mounted crooked, none of the door trim meets the floor, all of the materials from the studs to the plumbing fixtures are cheap and poorly made. There is a crack in our garage concrete which we were told “just happens”. We plan to stay in the house for a couple of years to recoup our investment but will not be staying here forever. Ryan Homes is a joke of a company. Would leave zero stars if it were an option.

My townhouse was built in 2022. Cement is already cracking, the house was not painted and they never told you. So if you bump it you can't wipe it because the flat paint comes right off. It would of cost over $3000 to paint it and time as I was all moved in before I knew this. The workmanship was poor as well and many people in the community already had to replace plumbing and repair the washer and dryers 'they put in and you paid for'. I'm sure they got a good deal on all of the appliances but the owners did not. As far as cost, they overcharged for the property and told everyone they had to buy, no renting. Then when you got the 61 page HOA contract, which you needed a lawyer to decipher, you could rent it long term after a year. The property values then drops (with the help of the politicians) and the taxes go up, so they can sell new ones again at a better price till they go to sell.

Ryan Homes management is by far the most unprofessional and unethical group I’ve ever dealt with. While the sales, project and finance team were great, upper management’s repeated mistakes, lack of accountability, and blatant disregard for customers turned what should have been an exciting experience into a nightmare.
They mis-measured our original lot, forcing us to start over and lose weeks. Then, at our pre-construction meeting, the floor plan was mirrored with the garage on the wrong side — another huge delay. Both errors were completely their fault, yet when we asked for reasonable compensation to cover the rent we had to pay because of their negligence, we were ignored for months. When management finally responded, they shifted blame, refused to help, and told us we could “back out of our contract” if we didn’t like it.
To make matters worse, we later learned that other homeowners in our same neighborhood received concessions for multiple issues, proving this company picks and chooses who they treat fairly. Ryan Homes’ management shows no accountability, no transparency, and no integrity. If you’re considering them, take this as a warning: I would never recommend Ryan Homes to anyone.

An abysmal company of liars and lazy cheats. This was my partner's and my first home, and it was brand new construction. With my inexperience and naivety, I didn't see the cracks before. It was too late. At one point early on they even tore up a portion of the carpeting upstairs and put it back together with a massive seam in the middle. We accepted so much, including the garbage paint on all the walls, chips and stains at the lightest touch, the uneven molding and poorly mounted hinges. Plumbing and piping that is poorly mounted and uneven, as though nothing were measured when it was cut. Our first home is a joke thanks to Ryan Homes. If it wasn't brand new, it wouldn't be worth the dirt we're still cleaning out of this place from when the construction finished.

Don’t do Ryan Homes. I’m so disappointed and even more so it’s been so hard to even find a place to leave a review… We’ve been in our new build just over a year. Prior to a year we noticed that the driveway started degrading, along with most of the neighborhoods. During this I was pregnant with twins and ended up hospitalized for a total of 2 months. Because of this we missed our “1 year deadline” that they guarantee concrete.
When I contacted them hoping they would help all they said was we were too late, we should have sealed our driveway (which we paid $500 to have done), and they had the audacity to recommended the concrete company who originally did our driveway. Clearly that company is incompetent since all our driveways were degrading. Our neighbors were able to get theirs fixed under warranty but because of a technicality we aren’t, even though it was clearly faulty craftsmanship. We are so disappointed in how Ryan handled this. We have been able to overlook small things and recommend them but not anymore. Don’t do it.

We filed a warranty claim on our front door a few months back. When the painters came to paint the door, they used a sprayer. When they were cleaning their line and the bucket there was obviously overspray which created rings in our driveway that show up every time it rains.

I’m writing this review to share my experience with Ryan Homes, particularly regarding a frustrating issue with my kitchen faucet. Shortly after moving in, I noticed the faucet was loose and unstable. It became clear that a critical part had been missing from the initial installation — something that should have been caught during quality checks or covered under warranty.
Unfortunately, I only discovered the missing part after the warranty period had expired. Even though this was clearly a builder oversight, Ryan Homes refused to cover the repair. I reached out hoping for some flexibility or goodwill support, but was met with a flat rejection. No attempt to understand the situation, no acknowledgment of the defect — just a hard “no.”
It’s incredibly disappointing to invest in a new home and then be left to deal with issues that stem from poor workmanship. I expected better accountability and customer care. If you’re considering Ryan Homes, be prepared to thoroughly inspect everything yourself — because once the warranty clock runs out, you’re on your own, even if the problem was there from day one.

Hello, I’m not interested in any of your current listings, but I feel it’s important to share my deep dissatisfaction with the quality of construction in the home I purchased. As a first-time homebuyer, I moved into my house in April 2023, and since then, it’s been one issue after another. In less than a year, the boiler exploded, which caused significant water pressure issues and faucet leaks. The floors have started to lift, the carpet is deteriorating due to poor-quality materials, the roof has started leaking, and every toilet in the home has had problems. I’ve already had to replace both the boiler and the central air adapter, and now I’m facing repairs to the ceiling and kitchen flooring. This entire experience has been extremely disappointing. My home, built in 2020, should not be having such major issues so soon after purchase. Because of this, I would never recommend this builder to anyone not to my clients, friends, or family members.

This builder is the worse in the industry. We found so many things wrong with our house. We have condensation in our bathroom vent and claimed to have fixed the problem. One year later still having the issue and it's up to us to fix it. That's just one of many of our issues. They are a joke. If I could take stars away, I would!!!

Ryan Homes is quick with building homes but terrible with quality. I purchased a brand new home from late 2023 so it’s been a little over 1-1/2 years. In that short time the air conditioning unit stopped working. Turns out the builder installed an incorrect amp fuse. The hot water heater stopped working. Turns out someone left a grocery bag in the unit. (True story).
My front porch started crack. They patched the porch but it was two toned. I complained until they painted the porch but the paint is peeling so I’ll have to fix that eventually. More recently, there’s a crack forming in the ceiling. I phoned the horrible warranty office and was told it’s my responsibility to fix because I’m over the year mark. Other neighbors are having plumbing and dry wall issues shortly after their warranty expires also. I am aware that houses settle and minor issues are expected. However, I don’t expect to pay for certain repairs in a brand new house that are mainly due to a lack of the quality in the building process and not poor maintenance on my part.

This builder has ongoing issues with poor construction quality, especially HVAC systems that tend to fail just after the warranty expires. After you buy, their maintenance team is often rude and slow to respond to problems—many service requests get ignored. They seem to count on the fact that it’s too costly and inconvenient for homeowners to pursue legal action, so post-sale service is generally frustrating and unreliable.

I am not one who bought a brand spanking new Ryan home. When I bought my house it was 10 years old and this house has been nothing but a plywood money pit. We have had three solid years of problems and each time someone comes out they find something else where they ask “how did they do this, this isn’t up to code!” The ductwork is awful. None of it at all, in a high humidity area, was insulated. For some duct they used non-insulated flex tube, some galvanized steel ducts, and one vent has appliance duct going to it. We’ve had several electricians out to try and figure out the cluster that is going on and each and everyone of them said they cannot understand how the house passed code.
When we had ducts removed and replaced it looked like a psychopath had hammered boards together. Underneath our stairs there were 65 nails to nowhere. If you weren’t careful, you could have nails in your head when working in that space. You expect that homes age but it’s turning into at least $10,000 in repairs each year.

We purchased our home in September, 2023. Because these are basically cookie cutter homes, the Sales Rep was inflexible regarding some basic additions we asked to be added such as a ceiling fan on the outdoor patio. The home itself, so far, is fine. We believe that is because we were one of the first homes built. This allowed the Project Manager time to focus on the four homes being built vs. the over 100 homes in the community. The main issue is the back view. We paid $5,000 additional for what was supposed to be a "premium" lot. We were promised a tree view of 30-feet deep. After 9-months of living in our home and enjoying the fall foliage, most of the trees were chopped down making room for new development. Our new view is of a mobile home sales lot. $5K for this?
Additionally, when we viewed the lot in person, the ground was flat. At the final walk through, half of the backyard is graded on a severe slope. This is unusable space. However, we paid $1,500 to have 10 small trees planted to block the view of the mobile homes. In 2 more years, the trees should grow tall enough to disguise the mobile homes and whatever else is being built down the hill. Sadly, Ryan homes completely ignored my many emails to them requesting a refund of the $5K premium that was paid to them. Not even a no, get lost response, simply crickets. Very insulting to say the least.

Dear Ryan Homes,
I would like to express my significant disappointment regarding several unresolved issues with my Ryan home in the Davis Creek community in Harrisburg, NC, purchased in 2023. While I was initially very excited about my new home, particularly due to the advertised small community and included lawn maintenance, the ongoing problems have been a cause for concern.
My primary concern revolves around the lawn maintenance, which has been unsatisfactory since day one. The initial promise included comprehensive services such as mowing, edging, fertilizing, weed control, and semi-annual pine needle replacement. Despite a substantial increase of $15,000 per year in landscaping fees for a neighborhood only two years old, the service has significantly declined to only twice-monthly mowing, with no weed control, fertilizing, or pine needle replacement. This directly contradicts the "worry-free lawn maintenance" that Ryan Homes advertised and promised.
Furthermore, the homeowners' association, CAMS, has been consistently unresponsive to violations and property concerns, a sentiment echoed by the current neighborhood board of directors. The sidewalks throughout the neighborhood are extensively cracked, and dead trees remain unreplaced, despite assurances from CAMS that these issues would be addressed before the neighborhood was turned over by Ryan Homes. Thank you for your attention to these matters.

We have been in our Ryan home for 2 years now. Overall a positive experience. The contractors used are inconsistent at best. Our landscaping is basically Bermuda sod laid on top of gravel, a lot of gravel. You cannot put a tent stake in the ground without a very large hammer. Grading of yard is also suspect as our drainage is horrible. As for the house, all issues have been addressed in a timely manner. We hired an expert inspector and all he could find was 3 nail pops. We do have an HVAC challenge as the vents were placed in bad spots during the build. LVP flooring has had to be replaced due to defect and microwave broke immediately and was also taken care of. The reason for the 3 stars is primarily due to customer service. If you need help outside of the normal warranty items good luck….

My experience with Ryan Homes in the Wellsprings community in Chester, VA has been nothing short of a complete disappointment, bordering on a nightmare. If I could give zero stars, I would. From the very beginning, the issues started with my sales representative, Maddie. I honestly think that she is either married to someone high up in the company or a member of the Ryan family, because no matter how much I complain about her incompetence to her manager Sean L. nothing has been done to correct her lack of accountability or professionalism. She should not be the face of any company's sales efforts. He is clearing covering up for her making this entire experience for me far more frustrating than necessary.
The most egregious issue, however, is Ryan Homes' deceptive customer service practices. Initially, they treated me with a decent level of respect, but that all changed the moment they received my full earnest money deposit. Once they had my money, all niceties and pretense of customer care disappeared, replaced by indifference and a complete lack of accountability.
Let’s talk about the build quality of my home. Maybe my expectations and standard are too high, I think their builders are horrible to say the least. I was forced to hire my own independent inspector to meticulously go over their work because there were numerous mistakes made during construction that I feel in my heart of hearts that I my inspector would not have caught none of them would have been corrected. It is clear that quality control is not a priority for Ryan Homes, and they rely on homeowners to catch their glaring errors. I find this unacceptable for such a significant investment.
To add insult to injury, Ryan Homes outright lied about the final appearance of the house. What saw on the brochure during the model selection process bores little resemblance to the finished product. This is a warning to anyone considering purchasing/building a house by Ryan Homes: Get everything they tell you in writing. Do not trust a single word they say, as they will deny it later or tell you that you should have read the “Fine Print”. I deeply regret not doing my due diligence and thoroughly reading reviews before signing on to purchase a Ryan Homes. This has been a costly and incredibly stressful lesson for me and I would not want anyone to go through what I’ve experienced. Save yourself the headache and look elsewhere for your next home. Ryan Homes in Wellsprings, and likely across the board, is a company that prioritizes profit over quality, integrity, and customer satisfaction.

I am writing to express my concerns, not with the sales team—who provided us with an excellent experience, particularly agents like Christian—but with the construction team. (Wish I can give zero star) We purchased our home through Ryan Homes' early VIP launch program when the community was just initiated, and no units had yet been built. At that time, we were informed that the entire community would follow a single plan, ensuring uniform elevation across all units.
However, after closing and moving into our unit, we observed that subsequent homes were constructed with significantly longer and wider driveways. When escalated to Ryan Homes management to address this inconsistency, we were told that no corrective action could be taken because we purchased during the launch phase, and our home’s property value had since appreciated thus home owner need to take care of fixing the driveway beyond this point.
We find this response unsatisfactory. The value of our home should not negate the design inconsistency, especially considering the risk we undertook purchasing early. The core of my concern is not related to financial gains but rather to a design inconsistency. Specifically, the issue pertains to our unit being the only one with a smaller driveway, creating a noticeable irregularity when compared to the rest of the community.
This is not perceived as an upgrade or a neutral change; rather, it stands out as a design flaw affecting both the aesthetics and potentially the functionality of our property. Additionally, we are disappointed with how this issue has been handled, as it seems our concerns have not been fully acknowledged or addressed with the seriousness they deserve.

We were warned about Ryan…PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HIRE an inspector!! YES, it’s new home construction but do not trust them.

Secondly, the roof was not installed correctly, we closed in Dec and by April our wood was wet. They have had to return to try to correct it. A NIGHTMARE!! Also, DO NOT CLOSE until all things are completed and satisfactory to the inspector and your approval.
The Second Gentleman who spoke to us before we closed fixed a few things but also gave us his word that everything would be taken care of. HE is in charge of making you close. That’s it!!

Around 10 months later, I put in the request to Ryan home warranty department and was told by the manager that they would not fix my driveway. It had to be over a 1/4 inch crack.

I visited Ryan Homes in search of a house for myself and my two kids. After exploring my options, I found the perfect townhouse— a three-bedroom, two-bathroom home. Excited for our next chapter, I put down a $13,000 deposit and moved forward with the process. However, life took an unexpected turn. My fiancé and I had to move up our wedding due to unforeseen circumstances, and our family size suddenly grew from three to eight. This meant that the townhouse we had planned to live in for a year or two before renting out would no longer be suitable. Additionally, financing would not go through since we now needed a much larger home.
As soon as I realized this, I informed Ryan Homes that I could no longer proceed with the build. I apologized and explained the situation, but the agent’s demeanor changed immediately. Instead of understanding, they were dismissive and rude, telling me I would not get my deposit back and that it was my fault. The agent said the sales representative would call me the next day, but after three days with no response, I had to follow up.
When I finally spoke with the sales rep, she was incredibly rude. I reiterated my situation and acknowledged that if an appraisal had already been done, I understood they might need to keep that fee. She confirmed that no appraisal had taken place, yet still insisted I wouldn’t get my deposit back. When I asked why I was being penalized so harshly for an unexpected life event, she reluctantly said she would check with upper management. Eventually, they agreed to return only half of my deposit, with the rep condescendingly telling me I was “lucky” to even get that. I was shocked by their lack of empathy and professionalism.
If you’re considering building with Ryan Homes, I strongly advise against it. This experience, which took place in mid-2024 in the Myrtle Beach area, has left a terrible impression. I was simply asking for my full deposit back due to circumstances beyond my control, but instead, I was met with hostility and poor customer service.

We signed the contract to have a new home built in Florida back in 2023 and moved into our new home (from Pennsylvania) in January 2024. It's probably best to break this up a bit, so here are some things we dealt with along the way.
1 - Sales team was good. I don't think we got the entire story regarding the CDD. Our salesperson explained the bond repayment, but not the CDD maintenance (kind of a big deal).
2 - The finance guy was great, although the guy doing the mortgage processing was beyond horrible and made the process overly difficult. We got a nice chunk of change towards settlement if we used their financing; the aggravation wasn't worth it.
3. The project manager for the build was good. He sent pics weekly and answered my questions and concerns. Since we were living in Pennsylvania and couldn't be here for the build, he worked with a local family member for pre-drywall inspections and other issues.
4 - Things we asked for, but were turned down:- A fence: It would have made life so much easier if we could have picked out an approved fence and just had it done as part of the build (instead of moving from PA and walking our dogs for months until the HOA approval and the fencing contractor were all set).
- Flowers and trees: I asked to either select what I wanted, and even gave the option to not plant anything at all (just mulch and I would take care of the planting). My intention was to not have to rip out the stuff that they planted which is what ended up happening. Fortunately, I found someone who was able to re-home some of the plants, shrubs and trees that were replaced.
- Gutters: There were no gutters, so the rain just rolls down in every direction. Many of my neighbors have since invested in gutters, but I feel like it should have been part of the build. In my opinion, this was just a way for Ryan Homes to cut corners.
- Kitchen drawer and cabinet handles: There were none. Again, I believe this is Ryan Homes cutting corners. My niece purchased a home from Lannar (a couple of miles from us), and their home came with drawer and cabinet handles. It's silly that I should have to complain about this. Heck, just give the option to purchase the hardware and have it included in the build.
We had a couple of nail pops and some cosmetic things that needed to be attended to. In the first year, there were a total of four tiles that had cracked from settlement which Ryan Homes replaced. We have no settlement cracks over the doors or windows, and no cracking on the outside, except for the smallest crack at one of the windows. We did have to put a number of service calls in for plumbing and electrical issues, but these were due to mistakes by the builder. Despite any issues that I covered in this review, we love our home. I would recommend them but like any other major purchase, I suggest the Trust, but Verify approach.

Buying a Ryan home was the biggest mistake ever. I moved in 4/30/24. I’m now trying to find a lawyer. I have been without heat for some time now. Ever since I moved in I have had so many things happen. No communication. Right now it’s currently snowing outside and no one has contact me after I’ve put in about 10 work orders. No one comes out when there is an emergency. I have kids who are cold. I'm disgusted and I’m just so hurt by the way I’ve been treated. Everyone was nice at first… at least to get your money. DO NOT EVER PURCHASE A HOME FROM THESE PEOPLE!!!!

Can't even give them a star! Since I moved into my home in 2020 I've had nothing but problems with my heating and air conditioning! The company who did the installation didn't realize the second air return in my second story was sheetrocked over, this is also the fault of the PM, so I got major attitude when I called the company to come fix it! Because of this mistake made by the contractor being sloppy along with the PM the unit was damaged, and it killed the life on it! I have spent several thousand dollars having the unit rebuilt, oh they forgot install a few things as well, and have had ongoing issues! Ryan does poor quality building and should be ashamed.

This house is not built near as good as our Dr. Horton home. The quality that you get is ridiculously horrible. They built everything with poor quality materials and skimp on final touches. The end result is drywall cracks everywhere, uneven floors, chipped tiles, broken appliances, thin walls, warped doors, scratches on the tub, paint on the door handles, landscaping that looks like a 2 year old did it. Just heartbreaking and sickening. I hope they get a major lawsuit against them.

My daughters purchased a home in Gallatin, TN in October. They have had issues with the doors not being properly sealed, shower was not properly sealed, and their backyard has and still holds water. Someone came to look at it and said nothing was wrong. However, the yard continues to hold water. It is not normal for the grass to consistently hold water unless there is some type of drainage issue. I like their new home but not that these problems were not fixed right from the beginning. My daughters were told that they weren't going to resolve the yard issue. They have only been there a few months and the house is still under warranty. We shouldn't have to seek an outside party to get the yard issue resolved. I hope that they are not trying to take advantage of my daughters because they're young responsible ladies.

I bought a home in Dominion Bridge. Ryan wanted to put the houses up fast as the area was booming with new construction when I bought. They and their subcontractors hire a lot of young guys (like ones that look like they just got out of high school). It took 7 or 8 calls to get the HVAC working properly on the three levels. The Ryan project manager told me "I went in your house one day and found a HVAC guy sitting on the floor in the basement in the corner, reading the manual. He looked confused."
Painting quality: I found alot of defects during walk thru. Ryan response: We do paint quality level 7. What is that? If you stand in the middle of the room and look at the walls, we expect to fix 70% of the defects. Living room floor wasn't level. Absurd! The punch list I put together of fixes needed after 90 days of living there was four pages long. And even the subcontractors admit they keep having to send people out repeatedly to fix things because "we can't find good experienced help".

We have moved into our new home and less than two months we have been mailed two possible HOA violations. One was for our trash can being in view. When we worked with our sales representatives we paid for extra concrete to go on the side of our house to put our trash can on. We were advised by her that this was a great idea. Second we were told a portable basketball goal should not be a problem at all. So I bought my 15 year old a brand new one that stays behind my wife’s suv and all you can see is the top of the goal. Now I’m being told by the HOA that it has to be an in ground basketball goal. The driveway is not wide enough to use an in ground goal adequately.
I’ve paid out over $1500 for the goal and concrete for the trash can, and now the HOA says it was for nothing. The HOA tells me that no responsibility lies with the sales person that we talked to multiple times about these very things being making our purchase. Make sure you do all the fact finding yourself because apparently Ryan Homes will just tell you what you want to hear then take your $450k and whatever they informed you of (wrong or left out) IT WILL BE ON YOU.

Before my one year dry wall warranty expired, I called customer service to have some one come out & fix the cracks that were along the baseboard on the staircase & the edges of the kitchen & bathroom countertops. They caulked the areas & 3 months later they’ve reappeared. Now Ryan Homes wants me to pay a handyman to come out and fix it after I’ve already paid over a half million dollars for a ‘new’ townhome.

This was my first new home purchase. For the most part everything went smoothly at the start of the process. Communication from all entities was good and had seemed like we were all on the same page. At the initial meeting, which was around April 2024 I informed all parties that I would have to be out of my apartment by 30 September 2024. The project manager stated that the house probably would be ready by August 2024. Was fine with that. As we move closer to September, the project manager informed me that Sept 8, would be the closing date. During the month September, we have had two hurricanes forecasted for the Jacksonville area and the city was behind on inspections due to closure of city offices.
As we get closer to Sept 8, date was notified again by the project manager that the new date will be the Sept 23rd which again was a good date., it would give me a week to move. As we get closer to the Sept 23rd date project manager informed me that the new closing date would be Oct 8th. At this time, I was furious but tried to understand that things happen. Also, I had to continually change date with the moving company as well as scheduling time off from work. Now because of the Oct 8th date, I had to apply for a lease extension. So, I would only have to move once. They took a couple of days to respond and finally got the approval to stay until the Oct 8 on the same day I got the approval from the apartment complex which was on Sept 20th.
I received a text from the closing office that your new closing date is the 26th of September. At that time, I told the manager of my complex that I would no longer need the extension after receiving the new closing date. Now it's time for the pre closure walk thru. The house to my opinion wasn't ready. Some of the electrical work was still being worked on so all light switches weren't working, some issues that had marked with blue tape hadn't been addressed, the floors were still gritty and dusty from the tile installation. Overall, the house was not ready. Project manager informed me that the cleaning crew would be coming thru to clean and all found issues would be corrected by Sept 26 which was closing.
As we were preparing to leave the property the project manager informed me that it's a possibility closure won't be on the Sept 26 due to some inspection that the city needed to do. So, the morning of Sept 26 I received a text from the project manager that closing would not be today. and have no exact date. So, then I reached out to my apartment complex to see if that option to stay until Oct 8, they couldn't accommodate me. Now I have to move all my household goods into storage that weekend because my lease ends Sept.30.
So, I spent all weekend moving items into storage which was another cost as well as paying movers to move my large items into storage, Sept 30, I received a text from the closing office that you will be closing today which was at 5pm. Thought it was strange that at closing the only people who were in attendance was the title closing officer, my realtor and myself. I wanted to address the issues that happened. Again, I have to schedule movers again to move my household goods from storage to my home. Which is another cost. I requested reimbursement for the second move and for storage due to move in dates. Have not heard from them as of yet. Post move in issues.
1. A/C unit thermostats are reversed. Upstairs thermostat controls downstairs/Downstairs controls upstairs.2. Dishwasher did not work, Installed with a broken door latch.

5. Dryer vent not connected.
6. Light switch in Master bedroom does not work.
7. Internet cable wall had damaged drywall.
The project manager SHOULD ensure that all the installers are installing correctly making sure that everything works properly. In my opinion our project manager has too many projects and can't keep up with the pace of building and the salesperson should ensure that the project manager does his job. Seems like once you sign your contracts everything is left up to the project manager to get things done. During all of the process no one reached out to say, "How is everything going?" Not good customer service. Overall, I'm satisfied with the house just that the closing experience was not good.

Ryan Homes is a terrible builder and they do not care how much money they will cost you due to their poor work and installation. Our home is 6 years old. Within the first year we had a ceiling leak, a frozen pipe because they didn't insulate it, and the start of HVAC issues. It also smelled like sewage for 3 months in our master bathroom which they told us was just a dead animal in the wall. They finally checked and realized they had punctured the sewer line and had to repair it.
6 years in and our HVAC is completely rusted, sweats all the time, and can't keep up because it's too small for the home. Ryan Homes no longer sells our model without two units. Ours only has one. Because of the sweating we ended up with mold in the ceiling. Ryan Homes continues to say that the HVAC functions the way it should despite the fact that multiple 3rd party HVAC techs say otherwise and Ryan Homes themselves acknowledges that they no longer sell this model with one unit because they "learned from their mistakes." They won't take responsibility which has left us with mold remediation to do and a need for a new HVAC in a 6 year old home. Absolutely ridiculous.

Mine was repaired a little over a year. A year after the repair the cracks in the ceiling drywall cracked again. I was told they don't finish the drywall correctly. Leaking windows. They don't caulk the tops. They used a local flooring company. About 3 years after I moved in I noticed the basement carpeting was loose. I had someone come out from the flooring company. I wasn't playing games and he actually said to me, "When you come to our store to pick out your flooring, a lot of people select upgrades in carpeting. That upgrade is really a very low quality carpet that you would use if you rented to people, but their customers are unaware and pay extra."
In other words, Ryan Homes was having Rusmur Flooring lie to customers. This person told me Rusmur cut ties with Ryan Homes, but that doesn't help those of us who purchased from them. My carpeting was not stretched when installed because Ryan Homes gave them a certain time to get in and out . My furnace was not installed correctly and kept shutting off. Every item they put in a home is the lowest quality they can find. On my walk thru before closing the project manager Jeff ** had a ladder sitting in front of a small bathroom window blocking it. I had been in the house two days before that and noticed the window was installed lopsided in the wall. He didn't know I had seen it and was trying to hide it.

Our neighborhood is located next to a vacant lot owned by Ryan Homes, which was left in poor condition after a severe storm. Recently, we noticed that a tree on the lot was on the verge of falling onto our property. We promptly notified Ryan Homes, located in Ohio, but our interaction with their attorney Ron was unpleasant. He spoke condescendingly to me, possibly due to his cultural beliefs that women should be submissive and only speak when spoken to. When I expressed my disagreement with his suggestion to move out if we didn't want the tree to fall on our home, he hung up on me. I called back to explain that his response was not appropriate, but he accused me of being rude and hung up on me repeatedly.
In one instance, he even threatened to have me arrested if I called again. However, I informed him that I was recording our conversation, as Ohio allows one party to record a conversation if they are involved. Despite this, the tree remains on the verge of collapsing onto our house, and we were also warned against removing it ourselves as it would result in a lawsuit for trespassing on their property. It seems that Ryan Homes is not concerned about our safety, and I personally suspect that they use the money from home sales to support violent acts against the ** people. This is simply my opinion, and I do not have any evidence to support that Ryan Homes is involved in any genocidal acts.

The gutters overflow because they are undersized. Our initial walk thru had 89 line items of things than needed to be fixed. We had three separate service supervisors, all they give you is lip service. Our outside AC didn't work, the control lines weren't even connected. If you want to live thru a nightmare, buy a Ryan Home. We are in Glen Burnie, Maryland

I purchased a Ryan home in February of 2024. The home is 7 years old and appeared to be in great condition. The home was sold with a 1-year American Home Shield Warranty. Since the home came with a warranty, I opted not to have a pre purchase home inspection. Biggest mistake I ever made. Shortly after we moved in a gusty rainstorm happened and we started seeing multiple wet spots throughout the home's ceiling. We had an inspector from A.H.S. come out only to find the roof had been so poorly installed that the entire roof needs to be replaced. The warranty only covers the first $1000 so the large remaining balance is on me. I spoke to a representative of Ryan who basically said they have a 1-year warranty so it's on me. It's very disappointing to have a big company like Ryan just wash their hands of something they created.

This journey started out great. Within the first six months is when everything started falling apart. I've owned my home for 3 years now. Some of the flaws I've fixed myself and some Ryan Homes has fixed. Now that I have major issues with structural damage, I've had to go through Customer Care Ryan Homes. My experience was ridiculously annoying and unhelpful. The representative I spoke to was Rahdeny, whom was professionally rude and inconsiderate. Long story short, I must hire someone to inspect the damage as proof before Ryan Homes will come out to inspect and make repairs. I strongly recommend going a different route if you're considering purchasing a new home. God bless.

Poor construction. Builder left holes throughout allowing mice infestation. Promised a lot of amenities which never materialized. Sold a dream. Numerous home owners have the mice problem and it’s quite expensive to hire pest control company. You’ve got to do better!

I don’t recommend them simply because the Project Managers don’t manage the work of the contractors.
2 . The Project Manager left the key (he claimed was the key for rekeyed locks) outside my house for 1.5 days without informing me that he’d done so and when I found the key, it didn’t unlock any doors to my house (which indicates that someone else found it before me and swapped it out). I now have to pay a locksmith to get me into my house and rekey my locks since none of the 7 keys Ryan Homes gave me unlocks the deadbolt locks!
3. The Project Manager and Saleswoman have blocked me after closing on the home and are not responding to texts nor emails! Poor customer service! Only the Loan Officer is responding. (She’s the only good thing Ryan Homes has going for them.)
4. The Project Manager leaves the job site so early that he doesn’t even notice the contractors taking half of the wood and plumbing that’s supposed to go into the homes that buyers have purchased. After hours, they back up to garages and load their trucks with loads of wood and plumbing, and during pre-drywall inspections, you and the inspector notice that not enough wood is used in your home.
5. Go with a different builder! I foresee problems with this “new” Ryan-built home.
6. The staff don’t care that I’m locked out of the home because they never gave me a key to the deadbolt locks! They’re ignoring my emails and texts!
7. Once you close on the home, they block you from contacting them! Poor customer service from day one!

Very disappointed with Ryan Homes in Lakemore Ohio. Every door squeaks and it's been 14 months. Vinyl planking separating. Felt cold air coming from garage stairs - Looked, found a hole in foundation which they hide behind the stair. Now I have to hire someone to come out and repair the foundation. Since the hole is where the door frame is - no wonder the door doesn't close properly. And the lawn they promise - lies all lies. Rocks and dirt. Most neighbors have spent over $1,000 getting topsoil, and seeding.

My current home is located right behind one of Ryan Homes developments in Wendell NC (I’m not a part of their development). I’m on a hill with a gravel driveway so I’m used to rain washing it away over time. However after Ryan homes “installed” the development’s water drainage system for the homes behind me, my driveway had a foot deep trench through it after a heavy rain. I soon discovered Ryan homes had directed all the water away from their developments homes right into my property. I quickly started making phone calls to figure this out with somebody and after about 2 weeks got through to someone who could supposedly “do something” about it. By then I had some guys grade and fill my driveway because we couldn’t use it until it was fixed (taking plenty of pictures and sending these all over to the people at Ryan homes).
They had a fella call me and even come out to see the damage. He essentially told us that they could help a little bit with the payment for the driveway but he “failed to see how more than a little bit was Ryan homes' fault”. I then countered saying we’ve never had water damage this bad in 2 years of living here and after heavier rain. He then asked for pictures of what the driveway looked like before so we pulled up MLS pictures that showed it was just a regular driveway before. He since then has not responded to any of my texts nor has anyone reached out.
Destruction of property, greedy, irresponsible, cowardly, extremely unprofessional, and atrocious communication skills. Hope you get the chance to read this buddy. I was hoping this review would stand out so more people would see it… But it looks like this is everyone’s experience with you and your people, nice work dude! 0/10 wouldn’t recommend, I didn’t even purchase anything from Ryan Homes and they still messed up my home!

I do not understand how this company in good faith and conscience could sell overpriced properties that are ultimately trash! For starters, they produce new builds entirely too fast and using cheap materials to do so. I purchased my property a little over 2 years ago (March 2022). Signs of poor attention to detail and craftsmanship has began to manifest itself. The strip running down the back of my kitchen island has separated.The baseboards and trim running along my steps had cracks. Steps squeaking. The barge board and shingle molding running along the top exterior of my property is dented, causing a gap (opening) to my attic. I discovered a hole bigger than a quarter in my downstairs bathroom at the top of the inside door frame - A hole that I would have never known existed had I not been going throughout my home to caulk seals.
The toilet in that bathroom runs and runs. I also discovered 2 wall voids, one in my kitchen behind the stove and the other in my laundry room. They were excessive gaps and holes. Discovered another hole in my kitchen next to the refrigerator water line that was also bigger than a quarter. And I know the contractors were aware of it because they covered it with a wobbly white cap and screw that is stripped. I was able to manipulate the cap and see the hole that they did not bother to patch or at least ensure the cap was properly secured to the wall. There is a long crack in my kitchen drywall, right above my French doors.
Recently, my HVAC system broke, which is ironic because shortly after closing on my brand new home, several of my neighbors - who all closed one after another were having issues with their system. My immediate neighbors had the same issue that I had our first summer here…. It’s just my unit began malfunctioning shortly after the service warranty expired. Got it fixed, then a day and a half later I had issues with the thermostat, which prevented me from turning my unit on. The last two summers of living here I have had problems with flies entering my home every single time I cook. And I’m not talking one or two…I am talking several! I know for a fact they are not gaining access from opening and closing the front and back doors. I also know that they are not entering through the cracks/holes that I previously mentioned because as I stated, I caulked/patched every crack and hole, except for the gap in my attic.
I recently reported it to Ryan Homes and standing by to see how they will move. But it tells me they are gaining access through a system or space that was not properly closed off or sealed. Several of my electrical outlet covers do not properly screw in place, Both electrical outlets outside (front porch/back porch) no longer work. Lastly, the shower in my master bathroom leaks a puddle of water on the floor, the water pressure fluctuates from having normal water pressure to minimal. Additionally, there has been a few times where the water was not properly draining. Mind you, I can count on one hand the number of times I have used that shower. I mainly use the hallway bathroom.
My previous property built by another company was 14 years old when I sold it, and it had none of the discrepancies outlined in this review. And of course Ryan Homes will not entertain any grievances that are outside of the service warranty period, leaving us homebuyers the burden of having to correct their pisspoor work. I contacted them about my HVAC system and they did not hesitate to tell me that I was financially responsible for having it fixed. JUST 3 MONTHS AFTER THE SERVICE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. Not to mention knowing that they knew several of these units had issues from the beginning. But want to pass it off as “typical” mechanical failures. All that stated, I DO NOT recommend anyone buy a Ryan Homes property. It is not worth it. Please take it from people who know. The reviews and reputation speaks volumes.

Stay FAR AWAY! I bought my home in 2021 in New Kent. The day I closed on my house and moved in my AC wasn’t working. They came out two days later and fixed it between 2021 and 2024. My AC has broke down over 13 times. Ryan Homes has several work order tickets from me. Now I’m out of the two-year warranty and my unit is still breaking down every season. This summer on the hottest days the unit is breaking down. They should be shame of themselves….if a unit has broke down that many times they should’ve gave me a new unit before my warranty ran out.
Now I’m probably gonna have to replace a three year-old HVAC unit that I’ve been complaining about since the day I moved in, you’re gonna waste so much money in your home stay away. Find another builder. They are not it! Customer service is horrible because a person with integrity and honesty will make things right. They know they are seriously wrong selling someone a brand new home and a HVAC unit has to be replaced they been complaining about since day one.

Ryan Homes are the worst and I would stay clear. They literally cut corners in everything. We bought our home in 2021 and I can't even count the number of issues we already have experienced. From vents to sinks to walls to floors to wiring etc... everything is breaking down. Come to realize when we get professionals to fix these things and we are being told Ryan Homes cut corners. They need to be out of business period! If you are going to take someone's hard-earned money, you better be providing a home worth the money and not trash in the name of Homes. You all are exploiting individuals and you will always reap what you sow! It is really saddening and I will encourage anyone looking into Ryan Homes to stay away and find independent builders.

Well, let's start with my purchase experience with Ryan Homes. Me and My wife came all the way to visit the community, We liked the home and everything, However the lies that they sell, Buyers have to have their lawyers and realtors in between to talk to them. They hide loads of things from you, When you are in that period where you can cancel your offer, they will portray a superb picture, However after that in really you will see things are pretty much different so beware of Ryan Homes, After sales warranty as well..please do check each and everything in your house before you move in, they will not cover everything once you move in. So have the best lawyers and realtors by your side to deal with Ryan homes.

Well, let's start with the contract to build our home. The advertised sales pitch said, "Imagine nightly strolls along tree lined sidewalks". I asked the salesman when the sidewalks were going in.. he laughed and said " imagine." This was an important selling point for me, and it was lies! They did not follow the building plan, over poured the garage, which required them to over pour the driveway, which lead to the design of the sidewalk, porch and steps not being correct, and now my stone front porch wall has separated from the porch.
There is a crack in the framing of the master bedroom, and they keep saying it was a drywall issue, if it were a drywall issue the crack would not keep reappearing. they will not take responsibility! I now have to hire a private home inspector and possibly a lawyer. I should have known they were subpar builders from the beginning. The workers put cigarettes out on the subfloor, they left a pipe leaking on the subfloor for weeks. I marked all of the damaged wood. They left some weird Hispanic fruit on the floors, 7-eleven hotdog containers and cans of soda everywhere.

I was so excited to purchase our home, we were one of the last to close, why today I’m not sure but…the builders did not care how they completed our home. They left so many items incomplete including leaving a sandwich with onions on one of the planks that when it got hot it left a oil stain on the ceiling, it was unbelievable. After weeks they came out and found the onions. Sure they removed and repaired the ceiling but the list goes on. We moved in January of 2023, in Illinois it’s very cold in January, why did we have flies in our home, I asked if we need someone to come out and find the source. Their excuse was the building started in the summertime, no one attempted to find the source, spring forward to spring ants galore, it became our issue to resolve, we had to pay an exterminator. Our neighbors too had the issue. There was some kind of hole that allowed them to come in, they came out.
It was not resolved after coming back several times. Now winter we still have flies again and this winter was extremely cold, but by now the year warranty is over. Our garage door is not working. After a year of a new home they will not take responsibility directing us to the company that put the door up, honestly I wish I had done my homework on Ryan Homes. I will never ever suggest using them to build a dog house, less known a human house. Very very disappointed. ☹️

Two years back we bought our first individual house. Ryan Homes is the builder. From outside the design and construction is excellent. But interior it is not worth. They used low-quality materials for dry walls, electric switches, windows, sliding door panels. Flooring is made of wood; we hear big sounds when someone walks upstairs. 6 months after we moved, the A/C didn't not work properly due to which roof in the basement got moist and paint started peeling off. Luckily, it happened within 1year, and they fixed it otherwise I would have end up paying huge amount in fixing it. Even for today, we can hear water dripping noise when we use bathroom. Windows are not well secured and sealed, 24x7 heater must be kept on in the winter to bear the cold air coming through windows. Hope there won't be any more surprises come up.

Pernell ** was excellent. Very friendly; however, I was misled. I was told that money from a deposit would be returned. The clause only applied to people who withdrew after the home was built. I had issues requiring me to change homes before the foundation was laid. I was then told that it would be at the discretion of Ryan Homes. The policy does say it is at the discretion of the builder. Why, then, was I told otherwise in person? A week later, I expressed the need to withdraw. The manager then burned 2 weeks, replying before keeping my deposit. This includes an appraisal fee. THE HOME WAS NEVER BUILT. Paying over 10k for a dirty lot and an appraisal fee is ridiculous. A word of caution. KBB Homes and other makers provide clauses for things like this. Ryan does not. Aside from feeling used, I feel lied to.
