The front end of our project was good but once building started we began to notice the quality…read moredropped off. Upon completion of our project, drains in our window wells were left covered at completion of construction which caused our basement to flood during a significant rainstorm. This was not covered by the New Home Warranty program because it was deemed to be a construction defect. Initially Sunset Homes refused to take appropriate action in dealing with resulting damage from their error. By the time they agreed to address the issue, mold had developed in our basement. Despite repeated requests, back up detail for $35,000 in material billings has not been provided. 8 months after moving into our home, Sunset had still not completed all of the items on the final punch list. I would no longer recommend Sunset to anyone building in the city

I own a Slokker townhouse (it was a new build) - here are a few cautions to consider. The HVAC to…read morethe main bedroom was not built, let alone connected after I moved in. They sent 'professional' in THREE times when I notified them that there wasn't any heat coming to the bedroom - three times they declared that it was fixed. It wasn't. Not until the fourth professional came in was it discovered that there wasn't a connection available. A bulk head had to be constructed in order to hood it up. The hose from the washer to the drain wasn't installed correctly, resulting in the hose jumping out and creating a water emergency and subsequent restoration. The water connection behind the fridge was missing a valve, resulting in the connection being forced off, creating yet another water emergency and restoration. In my experience, the attention to detail was severely lacking and I would not consider another Slokker home.

AVOID area manager, "Amir Chang". The moment conditions removed and he has received 5% cheque from…read moreyou, He'd ignore you completely. This has to be one of the worst experience of my life. Amir Chang is the most miserable human being. Not responding to my Emails, not responding to my voicemail. As soon as he gets his comission he will ignore you. I'm surprised Streetside has hired this miserable rude and disrespectful person as an Area Manager. I'd absolutely recommend Dave as an area manager.

Stories of home builders gone wrong made me very very nervous. When I first found my property I…read moreloved it but I wasn't aware of anyone that had ever used Streetside before. I looked around and even the complaints I heard were a bit acceptable given the size of projects (trees weren't thriving after turning over to the board) nothing like atleast three other builders I knew of that had some serious issues. Ultimately I did build with Streetside and I have lived in the property for quite some time. It certainly wasn't perfect but the blips were pretty small. There were some bumps: - The hot water tanks were a bit small to cover in floor heating and still have warm showers but it was replaced at their expense - After the last round of nail pops in the warranty process they didn't repaint which was a bit annoying - my fridge was probably never a level of appliance I'd consider buying and it died and has already been replaced (mind you I still technically got life expectancy from it). Now that I have a good fridge my food is lasting longer than it ever did in my builder special. -the changed some doors and windows from the original plan which I disliked but have adapted to - I didn't build in air conditioning at several thousand dollars and now it's extremely hard to install anything because of the type of windows they used. I'm still fiddling with temporary ways of making this work every summer. - I have a door that never really lined up well. They fiddled with it a few times and it was made better but never perfect. Maybe the door frame is slightly off. Luckily it's a non-consequential door on the inside. - I've had trades say a few things were not 100% code like missing a couple support straps on the gas lines which was an easy fix but it was a sloppy over sight. Overall though, I've been happy with most of the quality. I didn't give a lot of thought to them including upgraded fixtures in the base price until I started seeing friends that got non-upgraded fixtures. I can't believe what some places call bathtubs for example because they are the depth of a kiddie pool. Or I can't believe the terrible paint others have used or how hard floors are with carpet because the underlay is poor. The community has also held up fairly well through the years. Condo fees have more than doubled since the condo board has taken over which is typical but annoying.
