5-Star Reviews Give Peace of Mind
The builders and other staff were also great. We worked with Chase, Josh and Connor on our home. We met with the builders early on in the signing process to discuss and confirm the changes to the floor plan that we made after framing. They were awesome in accommodating some changes for us and getting things done quickly before the home was too far along to change. During our blue tape walk through and final walkthrough we worked with Connor. He was so diligent and detail oriented when walking through our home to ensure everything was done properly and to his standards. Talked us through everything and answered all of our questions. We loved working with him! He sent people out the day of closing to fix things that just weren’t done quite right and was able to get almost everything completed by that afternoon! We are so grateful to him for taking good care of us during our final stages of the home buying process and ensuring quality work was done! We overall had a great experience with anyone we worked with at RiverWild!!
