Dear Ms. Long:
Pursuant to Rule 461 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Beazer Homes, USA, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the Company), and each of the co-registrants listed on Schedule I hereto (the
Subsidiary Guarantors), respectfully request that the effective date of the above-referenced
Registration Statement on Form S-3 be accelerated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the

In connection with the foregoing request for the acceleration of the effective date of the
Registration Statement, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors acknowledge that:
|
|
|
should the Commission or the Staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, declare the
filing effective, it does not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect
to the filing; |
|
|
|
|
the action of the Commission or the Staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, in
declaring the filing effective, does not relieve the Company from its full responsibility
for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing; and |
Securities and Exchange Commission

the Company may not assert Staff comments and the declaration of effectiveness as a
defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal
securities laws of the United States. |
The Company respectfully requests that it be notified of such effectiveness by a telephone
call to Cal Smith of Troutman Sanders LLP at (404) 885-3352 and that such effectiveness also be
confirmed in writing (facsimile number (404) 962-6880).
