when we were building you were very responsive to our questions but after we closed we got verbal responses but no action.
Salesperson Satisfaction - Renee Tando was very helpful in explaining the building process from start to finish
Design Consultant Satisfaction - Christina Contestable was our right hand through out the entire design process. We cannot thank her enough.
Construction Super Satisfaction - Mike is always there to answer any questions we have.
Additional Comments - We have been very satisfied with the entire Riedman team.
Additional Comments - They are very good with weekly updates including photos and videos.
Salesperson Satisfaction - Renee has been fantastic throughout the entire process. There are many parts of a new construction build that can be complicated, but she explains them in a way that is easy to understand. She's willing to walk through things multiple times if needed and is very patient.
Design Consultant Satisfaction - Christy was absolutely wonderful to work with. She understood our aesthetic style and had the perfect balance between making professional recommendations to guide us when needed, but respecting anything we were really specific about or had a clear vision for what we wanted. She made sure we understood all of our pricing upgrades before we were required to sign off on anything.
Understand Building Process - Overall, yes. I don't know the exact order of some of the details but that isn't super important. Whenever I have questions, Renee has been quick to answer them. Knowing the general schedule and having multiple walk-throughs along with Renee's weekly updates ensures that I feel like I'm aware of what's happening when.
Construction Super Satisfaction - I haven't had any direct communication with the construction supervisor. He has been sick or unavailable during the meetings in which we would typically have interacted. However, I don't have any concerns about this as Renee has kept us up-to-date every week.
Construction Super Problem Resolution - So far, we haven't encountered any problems. Luckily I'm not sure what his problem resolution looks like!
Additional Comments - I am so grateful to be working specifically with Riedman for our build. Their process and procedures really provide some safeguards for their clients and that has brought a lot of comfort, particularly during a time when mortgage rates are volatile, material prices continue to increase, etc. I've always known exactly how much things will cost and am appreciative that what I sign off on is the final number -- they do not escalate charges as the market shifts. This has made it possible to plan even during unusual circumstances. Not to mention, they made the process fun and enjoyable. Going to the design studio was such a simple way to choose our interior finishes, and the guidance both on the structural and internal elements of the home from the entire team made a complex process feel manageable. I would not have wanted to build a home with another team.
Recognized Excellence - Renee Tando, Christy Contestable, and John (?)-site manager at The Cottages
Always room for improvement in featuring more choices instead of the status quo for certain options in the home, for example light switches and heat grates
If you have the time to build, I would recommend them. If you have to move right away I would not. The process has been wonderful so far.
Construction Super Satisfaction - We have not talked with the construction supervisor much but when we have communication has been clear and helpful.
Construction Super Problem Resolution - We have not had any issues so far.
Construction Quality - Almost everything was great. However, we did have some issues with the placement of electrical boxes not being according to plan.
I am very satisfied.
Recognized Excellence - I would like to recognize Renee, Christy and Joe for their exceptional service.
Additional Comments - I am very happy with my home.
Recognized Excellence - I would like to recognize Renee and Christy.
For a solid, well-built home, I highly recommend Riedman Homes.
It was a positive experience for the most part, and my home was constructed during the height of covid. There were delays and the communications (at times) could have been better
Salesperson Satisfaction - I don't think they have done a very good-job at communicating as frequently as they should because of the delays that are being experienced as a result of Covid. I think they could have done a better job, a much better job on that part. My home was originally supposed to be finished in August, actually right about now, and I still don't have an end date on when they anticipate the construction will be completed.
Construction Super Satisfaction - He has done a very good job. He has been at the walk-throughs that I have attended thus far. He has done a good job and answered the questions that I post.
Construction Super Problem Resolution - I really have not had any problems, so I would say it is not applicable at this stage.
Recognized Excellence - Christy/Renee/Johnny all have been a pleasure to work with
I am very happy with the house. We just moved in on Saturday. I am very happy with the sales representative. We dealt with Renee Tando. It took an entire year to finish the house. We put a $2500 deposit to start the building process on November 24th.
Recognized Excellence - Renee Tando, Jessica and Joh.
Additional Comments - Redieman delivered a a great quality home at an affordable value in a very challenging time period due to the pandemic overcoming supply chain and labor issues.
Found issues with quality of workmanship on walk through. Given unrealistic excuses for delays on build and felt Iike builder had no concern for the homeowners timelines or situation throughout the delays. Understand delays due to pandemic but there was terrible management throughout the project. Plan to warn other customers as well on social media to stay clear.
I have been extremely pleased by all aspects of my experience and have been fast to compliment all of you when talking with others.
Salesperson Satisfaction - We have all had the experience with the salesperson who is there until the sale is made and then harder to talk to. The opposite is true here. AFTER the sale was made I was repeatedly encouraged to make sure all of my needs were being met. And they were.
Design Consultant Satisfaction - Everyone warned me that this would be extremely difficult but it was not because of the help I received from the design consultant. Saying she was extremely helpful is an understatement.
Understand Building Process - The weekly communication allows me to understand what comes next. I look forward to this every week.
Construction Super Satisfaction - While I do not believe I have spoken directly with this person I also do not believe I have felt the need to do so. And if I did, based on my other experiences with the Friedman team, I am sure I would be pleased. That is the trust all of you have instilled during this process.
Construction Super Problem Resolution - I have had no problems to resolve which makes N/A the best rating to receive.
Additional Comments - Thank you to all of you for making this an enjoyable experience.
Quality is big item
Everything is of good quality, but the customer service end is the most frustrating.
Renee is the best!
From start to finish, everything was done well and professionally. Staff is great.
Going in to this process was incredibly daunting but all of the associates made it manageable from picking our lot to all the decisions to construction now.
We would absolutely recommend Riedman to a friend! The process was clearly described to us from start to finish and there were very few surprises along the way. Riedman has proven to be a reliable and solid company to work with.
As we have not moved in yet and dealt with finishing issues it is hard to say
Renee' and Chris have been a pleasure to work with
Recognized Excellence - Rene Tando, Christy Haag, and the entire team.
Recognized Excellence - Renee Tando John Holtz

Additional Comments - We thoroughly enjoyed the experience of building our home with the Riedman team.
Easier Than Expected - Everyone involved in the process has been great to date.
Any Changes? - Lower kitchen cabinets...I'm short, but I will manage with a step stool until I'm too old to climb.
Recognized Excellence - Everybody from start to finish. They all know their stuff and respected my background in design and construction.
Additional Comments - I feel like I'm home now.
Sales Knowledge - Lori was good about explaining the steps of the sale process. As work season gets busy, communications starts to reduce.
Warranty Explanation - Your warranty schedules could improve by having your warranty person have a calendar (i pad/phone or ?) with him, so to make appts. And, make the Appts. once they are made.
Communication - Design Center and sales was great with communications. We loved Christy's knowledge and process of doing the "hard" work of design. She was absolutely wonderful. Made our process and planning of our home very simple and informative and easy to do..
Recognized Excellence - Christy is a rock star! She made the entire experience fun and stress free! She is a true asset to the Riedman team.
Additional Comments - i live in a resort like setting that was carefully designed and built.....and luckily, .it is my home.
Any Changes? - Our great room/kitchen floor was not properly engineered and has a trampolining effect. The fact that our neighbors below us can hear us walking is very disappointing.
Recognized Excellence - Teresa Carpentar is very solid employee and excellent communicator. John Holtz is always willing to help.
Additional Comments - Riedman’s ability to handle changes was very disappointing. Almost all our changes (which were significant) had to be readdressed. Many more than once.
The Residences at Canalside are a quality project, and we love our new home.
Recognized Excellence - I would like to recognize Theresa Carpenter, John Holtz, Olivia and Jay for their exceptional service. Those are the four people I've had the most dealings with.
Yes I would recommend and have recommended Riedman to build a home for them, overall we are satisfied with our home even though we have small issues with the projects
Sales Knowledge - Lori was very helpful in choosing the house that we liked. She was very knowledgeable and through about the process to get our house started and worked with us all the way till the closing on the house. Lori was also very detailed on presentation and listing our pervious house to be sold. Lori is very professional and we will recommend Lori to anyone considering to build.
Construction Quality - We are satisfied with the construction of the house, the painting and trim work is excellent. There were a few minor items that needed to be taken care of after we did our final walk thru and what we noticed after a couple of weeks of living in the house. Over all the finish work was excellent.
Warranty - In the beginning complaint department was fairly responsive. I have been waiting since the middle of August to get my squeaky floors fixed and was told I would be contacted by a person to get this fixed.
Recognized Excellence - Jay, Olivia, John and Teresa
Additional Comments - Everyone at Riedman has been accommodating and truly wants us to be happy with our home.
Areas For Improvement - Not sure if there are any. We have not yet moved in, so cannot truly assess conditions of the living space.
Areas Of Satisfaction - All personnel who we have had contact with were top notch.
