Ryan Homes
Reviews and Complaints

Rewrite your review because this makes absolutely no sense

While modern technology through the discovery and use of new materials has improved the insulation and comfort of a home. The modern greed of trying to earn a buck the fastest way by hiring cheap labor ruins all of that.

It's one of lifes costly lessons which I have also gone through with this company. A home, especially a brand new one, should be a source of pride and security. Security, say in being cozy and in from a thunder storm occurring outside. My security in my Ryan home was worrying about how many shingles would blow off the roof or siding becoming loose.

This happened often to me, costing me money after my warranty ended. My HVAC system broke down 7 times in the short time that I kept that house. Besides my learning that new homes, or the contruction and profit made by cheap labor is something to avoid. I also learned that many amenities such as tennis courts and walking paths, promised, shown on community plans in that model by the developer and Ryan may never ever get built.

Another mistake is buying anything in an HOA. Here's another lesson learned. When the community pool needed a resurfacing job. The pool was closed for 3 months.

The clubhouse bathroom which was closed due to a leaky pipe was also closed for months. Exercise equipment that was reported as requiring repairs also sit idle for months. Your stuck with the landscaper they use who loves to do continual wheelies around and around your trees on your lawn. This causes tire imprints and dead sod.

Avoid an HOA. You either maintain your own lawn and have the ability to hire or fire whoever you want. You can join a gym or club with a pool. If they choose to take their time repairing it.

You no longer stay as a paid customer. The good thing about buying that older resale that Ryan will tout as a less efficient home. One that isn't in an HOA with all of these supposed amenities that are shown in the community plans is this. That home is built better built and regarding the surroundings of that older home.

WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET!

There are no hidden surprises. Stores, lake, trails and greenery are already there.

Everytime that one would relish being in their home, secure against a thunder storm, or wintery night. I used to wonder how much it would cost me in my Ryan home.

This being the number of times times that I lost shingles, siding came loose or leaks in the basement. Rather than sit cozy in my Ryan home I wondered what else would come loose given the track record that my house had. I even worried about the HVAC system not breaking down as it had previously during very cold spells.

A home should be a shelter and something that you don't have to worry about because it was built strong. That was not the case with my Ryan home.

Despite all of Ryans/ NV claims that the house sections are factory made to the highest standards may be true. But hiring the cheapest contractors in and area which uses illegals to put this home together is where the problems start.

Ryan buys the roof shingles that are used on their homes to be built. My problem had nothing to do with their quality but with the roofer that they used. Every windy day during the four years that I owned that home shingles blew off of the roof. That goes also for the siding that was installed on my house.

The siding blew off on a number of occasions. I had problems regarding other installations that failed due to the contractors that they hired. Whether the materials were cheap or not, probably were, most of my problems occurred with the substandard workers and workmanship. I did have 2 appliances that required replacement due to the repair costing more that the units within my 4 years there.

I spent more money, out of pocket expenses, to repair things that shouldn't happen in a new home. It was like a brand new handyman special. Every windy day or storm after my one year warranty was up usually resulted in me either calling a roofer or siding worker, sometimes both. I also had several HVAC breakdowns and one costing me 750 dollars.

I had the garage door motor fail and leaks in the basement, garage, dining room wall, not to mention doors that were hung crooked . One bathroom door was so bad that you could see inside the room with the door closed.

That's how wide the gap was between the door and the frame. I was glad to get away from that money pit.

We live in The Woodlands of Morrow as well. The drainage is a serious problem and was done incorrectly from the beginning.

This should not be happening with a tenured building company.

Now, we received notice that they want to come back and regut our cabinet because of a poor design that causes the refrigerant to do double the work (frost in fridge) because they placed the stove next to the fridge with no barrier in between. Again, these carelss practices should not be happening.

Our home in Fairwood in Bowie is having the same issues, and we cannot get resolution like our neighbors. Very frustrating I wished I had never bought here, these homes are half a million dollars I will never be happy. Run do not walk to somewhere else.

I had also went through a bad experience with Ryan and sold my home. I did learn quite a bit from that experience and new developments.

While I wanted a new home for the warranty and newness, I never stopped to consider a resale. Resales have an advantage in that what you see in the development and home is already there. No more promised tennis courts that never end up being installed. The landscaping is already there and no surprises regarding the grading.

If I still had my heart set on a brand new community I would do two important things. First find out who the developer is that is allowing a certain builder to put up houses on that property. Is he reputable. Check out other projects and developments that he had completed and talk to members of that community.

Did he, the developer put in every amenity that he said he would? Secondly, I would check out developments that the builder had already completed in the area and ask the residents what they think about their home and the builder that built it. When you question the residents in a new development that you are considering your bound to get the wrong feedback because these people want you to buy there so the builder doesn't leave and want to protect their investment. You also have the misery likes company types or the fact that problems or defects haven't occurred yet because the home is brand new and they haven't been there long enough for the paint to dry.

Go to one of the builders communities that are a couple of years old and talk to those people. They have nothing to win or lose and will be more truthfully about the builder and their experiences with the home. I made the mistake of wanting brand new in a world where company profit is more important than quality. In a resale there are no surprises.

What you see and the stores and surrounding areas are there. No lies about a greenery area that's promised to stay that way but subsequently doesn't.
