Well... where to begin. The contractors that Mattamy hired to build our community really sucked...cheap isn't the route to go. Our great room leaks due to the roofing contractors they hired...as did other neighbours homes. The extra joists needed for ceramic tiles were not put in, the grout cracked. They cut out the framing around our bathroom door to install the bathroom counter. The siding is not placed on our house properly as the water will go in between seams... they installed it incorrectly. The answer to all their problems is caulking. We had an inch and 1/2 of caulking at the side of our patio door... needless to say that door has been replaced this year 2009. We moved into this newly built home of ours in Jan. 2001. All the window seals have broken on most of the windows and will also need replacing in the next few years. Building homes shouldn't be an assembly line... this is a huge investment and it should be built to better standards for the cost of homes today. Very disappointed in Mattamy... in fact a lot of people in our neighbourhood erected signs stating "Unsatisfied Mattamy Home Owner". Funny thing was they never gave our neighbourhood survey forms to fill out ~ if they had done this in our neighbourhood they would not have received the awards and standards that they have in the past. Now we have to replace and repair things in our home when we really shouldn't have to. I wish I knew Mike Holmes ~ he know how to fix all of this.
