Ladies and Gentlemen:

We are acting as special counsel, solely with respect to the matters addressed in this letter, to April Corporation, a Colorado corporation (the “Guarantor”) and a subsidiary of Beazer Homes USA, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Beazer”), with respect to certain matters in connection with the registration statement on Form S-4 (the “Registration Statement”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), relating to the proposed public offering of up to $300,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Beazer’s 6.625% Senior Secured Notes due 2018 (the “New Notes”) in exchange for up to $300,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Beazer’s 6.625% Senior Secured Notes due 2018 originally issued on July 18, 2012 and outstanding as of the date hereof (the “Original Notes”). In conjunction with the issuance of the New Notes, the Guarantor will issue a guarantee with respect to the New Notes (the “Guarantee”).

The Original Notes and the Guarantee were issued, and the New Notes will be issued, pursuant to an indenture dated as of July 18, 2012 (the “Indenture”), Wilmington Trust, National Association, as collateral agent, by and among Beazer, U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), and the Guarantor and the other guarantors signatory thereto.

The Opinions are based as to matters of law solely on applicable provisions of the General Colorado Business Corporation Act, as amended and currently in effect.

(c) Each of the Indenture and the Guarantee has been duly executed and delivered by the Guarantor.

We express no opinion in this letter as to any other laws and regulations not specifically identified above as being covered hereby (and in particular, we express no opinion as to any effect that such other laws and regulations may have on the opinions expressed herein). We express no opinion in this letter as to federal or state securities laws or regulations, antitrust, unfair competition, banking, or tax laws or regulations, or laws or regulations of any political subdivision below the state level. The opinions set forth in paragraph (c) are based upon a review of only those laws and regulations (not otherwise excluded in this letter) that, in our experience, are generally recognized as applicable to transactions of the type contemplated in the Indenture and the Guarantee.

This opinion letter has been prepared for use in connection with the Registration Statement, the Indenture and the Guarantee. This opinion letter speaks as of the date hereof.
