R & K Custom Homes

As the owner of a newly built home by R & K Custom Homes, my wife and I couldn’t be more pleased. Working with Kathy Dumas throughout the home building process gave us assurance we had a champion on our side! Anyone who has had a house built from the ground up knows the minute details that go into the completed product. This can be overwhelming. With Kathy and the R & K Custom home team we knew we were getting a high end home from the top builder in our area. Kathy worked with us every step of the way, handling our never-ending questions. I highly recommend R & K Homes. Kevin Devaney

My husband and I were considering building a home in North Carolina, so we toured a number of Parade of Homes near Greensboro. A couple of the houses we toured were built by R & K Custom Homes. We were impressed with the quality of workmanship and design of the homes. We were introduced to Rich and Kathy, and immediately felt welcomed and comfortable with their friendly approach. After careful consideration, we decided to choose R & K to build our first custom home. Kathy was wonderful helping with every design need from the layout, to the granite and tile, to the flooring and cabinets, to the color selections. I relied on her expertise in design to help make the right choices for our home. Rich and Kathy listened to us and our ideas for the style, size, cost and plans we wanted in our new home. They made recommendations to help us keep the construction within our budget, and even provided cost saving ideas along the way. They were patient as we went through the details of building our first home, and never made us feel pressured. They even took the time to drive us around to see other homes to get ideas and help us with some of our choices. We highly recommend R & K Custom Homes, and are very pleased with our decision to choose Rich and Kathy to build our dream home.

It was such a pleasure to work with R&K in building our new custom home! From the design phase, to selections, to making sure that everything was done timely and according to our specifications, R&K greatly exceeded our expectations. The build quality is outstanding - items that would be considered upgrades for many builders are standard in an R&K home. Moreover, Rich and Kathy are simply wonderful people, and that goes a long way toward making the home building process that much more enjoyable! We would highly recommend R&K to anyone in the Greensboro, NC area who is looking to build a new custom home.

We would use Rich and Kathy over and over again. Best builders ever. They care about their clients. Great quality. We looked for over 2 years at multiple builders and they were consistently the best. They built a home that we custom designed. And in a poor economy that sold in 3 months. We are currently searching for another dream piece of land for them to build our hopefully final dream home as we move into a different stage of life. We consider them more than our builders. We consider them friends.

Recently discovered problem with mold and moisture damage due to what we believe is a defective shower liner. Test have been done that suggest the problem is with the liner, this information was forward to R & K with the expectation that they would correct the problem and make the necessary repairs. R & K refused to inspect or make any corrections. Update and response to R&K: R&K brings up that because of the mentioned home inspection and yearly termite inspections did not report any signs of mold are proof that it is a recent event is a false assumption; these types of inspections are only visual inspections. They do not remove insulation and is stated in their declaimers, and R&K knows this or should. The damage has been gradual and hidden behind the insulation, this amount of damage and mold buildup does not happen suddenly. R&K also reference my comment about water pooling in our 2010 letter as proof of our negligence that we must not be routinely cleaning out the shower drain as a reason for the damage; this too is a false assumption. The pooling I referenced is at the shower entrance, the entrance area was not sloped towards drain. R&K has no firsthand knowledge of the issues or the source of the problem; R&K refuse to inspect the damage. The building code requires that showers be lined and made water tight; 06 NCPC 417.5.2
