Vandyk Group Of Companies

Two years but I actually aged 15.
Dealing with this builder has been the WORSE experience of me life.

They tried to seem helpful before we closed the deal, after that the wouldn’t even return phone calls or emails.
The staff and in particular the their “design centre staff were ignorant I cannot understand how they can stay in business with such a disgusting customer service.
They make hundreds of mistakes, including some major ones. The changes in the layout of the house that we agreed on were not made and the had to redo everything but it is just a terrible patch up job. Most of the windows were scratched, the tiling was uneven, the doors and windows were ordered reversed, the roofingdid not have the right amount of insulation and some ventilation were not even cut open, the concrete steps were not done properly and the had to be redone, washroom hardware was put wrong. It took months to start to try to fix them and the trades would come and go but the would make things worst instead of better.
The Ontario home insurance was a lost cause too.
It protects more the builder than it does the buyer
I got tired of dealing with all the bullshit and I fixed everything by bringing in other tradesmen on my on expense. It cost me tens of thousands of dollars to fix the builders mistakes.
Builders like him they should not be allowed to keep building. All the people and neighbors I know that won a vandyk home the all had major trouble.
DO NOT BUY from this builder.

PS Everything was done to the bare minimum even when it was done within the standards. All the trades kept complaining that how can they do a good job when they are not paid enough and when vandyk owns them many months of pay.

NOTE: it would probably be easier and quicker if you built it on your own instead of leting the vadyk people screw you around
