Richie and Sons Builders & Renovations Experts

It was good. I was excellent. Their team was very knowledgeable, friendly, and very clean.

There was no water supply in the house. He was going to bring some high pressured pump to check for plumbing leaks. When he arrived he didn't have any instruments with him. There was no faucet in the kitchen, no shower head in the bathroom, and there were exposed pipes as well. I paid him $400 for the inspection report that I never received, and never received a receipt for it. He stated that the inspection would be free, and would give me an estimate for work that needed to be done based on that report. He began talking to me about remodeling work that I did not need, when i just needed basic work done. He stopped communicating with me and I have not heard since.

Overall it was awful. They never showed up on time. Each time I paid an installment they would not show up for a whole week. The job never past inspection leaving the rooms still unlivable. They made several mistakes which caused damage to my home. Took no care in my property at all, and turned out to be very unprofessional. They frequently brought a dog (pitbull) with them to my home, then told us to stay away from it, because the dog was a rescue and was dangerous, I have 4 small children in my home, and do not need a dangerous animal on my property. They smoked inside the addition while building it. They did stop this when asked though. I will now list the problems I have had since. Starting with the outside. 1. they tore apart my driveway, they were supposed to fix it, they never did. It is mostly just dirt now. 2. They tore apart my lawn by driving over it with their machine, this was to save on their part and not have to hall away the dirt. They were supposed to re-seed my lawn, they did not, it is wrecked. 3. They left garbage EVERYWHERE. Cans, material, even items from other job sites were left on my lawn (a window that did not come from my home) They also removed a bumper from their truck and left it in my yard. 4. they did not finish painting, sanding, etc. They did not supply hardware or screens for the windows they put in. 5. They left a hole cut in my wall during the hurricane (from the outside) The insulation soaked, the water came in through the house, destroying my floors, and causing mold to grow in my house. The builder looked at this and called it "no big deal" 6. they left exposed wires and insulation all over my house for weeks at a time, I have 4 small children including a toddler who gets into things. 7. they knocked down a portion of my fence to dump rock behind it and left it leaning on the ground. they removed my awning and light from outside and never replaced them. 8.they did the framing wrong. framing around trim 9. the roof leaks. 10. most importantly, they destroyed my foundation. Leaving the hole around my house dug out for much longer than it should have been, my existing foundation sank and my floors, walls, and cabinets shifted. 11. they painted and did not cover my floors, leaving them stained and ruined. 12. they used mixers inside on my uncovered wood floors, causing the wood to buckle from the water that splashed out When questioned on his practices the owner of the company often became angry, he threatened us more than once with physical violence, and even pushed me once while walking down my driveway.
