I am the 2nd owner of a house built by this company in 2000. While the basic structure is extremely…read moresolid overall, numerous deficiencies in interior and exterior finish work and detail have become blindingly apparent. Several doors have racked over the years, causing them not to close correctly (the striker no longer meets the hole!). A few windows were installed incorrectly and are either slightly racked or hard to open/close. Vertical trim outside windows all over the house was face nailed with common nails, which now bleed rust onto the paint. These same boards are all rotted due to not having been sealed properly during installation. The site-built front railing was made from standard pine and left untreated. The design was horrible from a durability viewpoint as it caught and kept water, with the entire railing rotting to punk after only 10 years. While replacing it, I found rotted wood under the lower siding and trim. This was caused by incorrectly applied housewrap and flashing, and will be corrected in the spring. While cleaning gutters last month I found places where the top braces were never screwed into place, which has caused increasing ice dams and sagging gutters (not to mention bad drainage) over the years. Several neighbors whose houses were built at the same time have experienced numerous similar problems. One (the model home) ended up with an internally collapsed chimney to the tune of $9000 in repairs. The same house's front wall rotted to the point where someone went through the wall when they leaned against it. This was again due to incorrect sealing and lack of flashing. At least three houses on our road (all built by this company) have required remedial treatment for rot behind the clapboards. This is not good construction. In most recent news, an attempt to replace rotted face trim on several windows was impossible when it was discovered the 'trim' was not trim, but an integral part of the window structure and the windows were face-nailed in place. These people seem to do a decent job and the structure/utilities are very well done. But whoever they employ for finish carpentry and exterior trim work is (or was) highly unskilled. If you're building with them, have an expert builder of your own on call to monitor and contact the builder to correct their mistakes.

I received a recommendation to use Stan to redo my backstairs and landing with composite and…read moremaintenance free materials. Stan came over, saw my situation and right away knew exactly what I want. He saw that it was very narrow and said he can make it a little wider. While he was there, I mentioned that I want to have my foundation wall finished with stucco. He told me he has a guy who can do that too. Well, I got a couple of other quotes from others and I knew after that Stan was the right guy for the job. His numbers are very reasonable and I can tell he knew what he was doing. Stan has a great crew who showed up early and worked professionally. Good guys! The stairs, landing and the masonry work came out perfect!

We used Carriagetown Kitchens for the design and purchase for our recent kitchen upgrade. We…read moreselected Emilie after an extensive search for a designer. We have a unique post and beam structure that is not amenable to serious modification. As a result virtually all other designers wanted us to significantly modify the exterior profile of the house to get the cabinet storage and counter tops that we wanted. When we first spoke with Emilie she offered to create a side by side design with our current front running design. She had great visualization software that gave us 3 dimensional views which were very helpful. Her design and cost break down were significantly competitive with the previous designs we had. We then agreed to have her run her own design to see what she could come up with. Her design was an immediate favorite. She was able to accommodate the need for cabinets and countertops without modifying the exterior profile. The quality and configurations of the cabinets were a big selling factor. Emilie created an extensive and comprehensive design for the final cabinet purchase. She worked with us to successfully utilize every inch of available space. The final installation instructions were highlighted with extra notations to emphasize installation requirements. Her attention to detail is remarkable. She came out to the sight several times to facilitate the design and discuss special placements with the primary contractor. Overall we are exceptionally happy with the effort Emilie contributed and the final product is better than we had hoped. The only negative issue we had was a couple problems with delivery. There were a few damaged cabinets which delayed the finishing the final product. However, the cabinets were replaced and we are happy with the final product.
