New Home Build

Dolce Vita homes build our dream house and we couldn't be more pleased with how it turned out. Our sales associate Caroline was amazing, she was patient with our many questions and was always prompt to respond to emails and voice messages. During the build, the various stages of progress were constantly relayed to us via pictures and emails, something that is very important with a purchase of this magnitude. As this wasn't our first home build we knew that there might be minor issues post move in period. We were surprised however, how few there were. The site supervisor even picked things up that we never would have noticed. After a year post build, we had virtually no warranty work as the final product was so well constructed. WE would totally recommend this builder to anyone looking for quality work and good service.

New home build

Dolce Vita not only did a great job on our new home; they handled any problems along the way quickly and accurately. At one point, we managed to customize the design of the house to satisfy the city - and it was done within one evening!

The quality of the work is top-notch!! We can see the difference in both the workmanship and materials when we compare to our friend's new builds, and we spent less than they did.

I would 100 percent recommend Dolce Vita. We have a home we trust to last for generations; we were involved in the process and informed every step of the way; and we have had all the support we have have asked for since we moved in.

A plus! Thank you, Dolce Vita - you made our dream (home) come true!!!!!

Basement Floor Crack

We own a Dolce Vita home built 3 years ago.

We uncovered a severe/moderate floor crack (10 feet in length and 5mm in width)in the basement in 2016. Contacted DV, and got a response from area manager basically saying it was passed the 1-year warranty and we should fix it ourselves.

We had a technician coming to take a look and we were surprised with his comments. He said there are clear marks showing the crack started right after the house was built and the contractor tried to cover the crack by painting over the crack; and the crack has to be checked further since it connects two walls, there might be foundational cracks on the walls. We can clear see there is this paint mark over crack which the contractor tried to cover, we have never had anyone to fix the floor, thus apparently it was there before our possession.

Contacted the builder again today and was told again they do not cover as it has passed the one-year warranty.

Our concerns are 1.) even if the paint over the crack wasnt intended to "cover up" the crack, it deterred us from recovering the crack in the 1st year for a warranted repair 2.) it is a crack of more than 5mm in width and potentially is of structural in nature (connects two structural walls).

Very disappointed with DV.

Hi Wallace,

Thank you for taking the time to express your concerns.

Concrete cracks, although are not ideal, are completely normal in homes from the shrinkage and settlement process. We want to ensure that we would never cover up any defects. We paint all of our basement floors to help reduce the dust and keep your socks clean when you walk around until you decide to finish the basement. When we painted your basement floor in 2014, the crack (if any at the time) would have been too small for us to detect.

We take great care in the quality assurance in all of our homes. All of our homes have coverage under the Alberta New Home Warranty and we encourage you to reach out to them at contactcentre@anhwp.com. They can help you assess if the crack is indeed a structural issue. If they advise us that it is, we will definitely be back to help repair the issue.

New home build

I am very pleased with the layout of our home, it was exactly what we wanted. The quality on the other hand is very poor. Its a shame what you find when you really take a good look around your new home. Things i didnt notice while doing the walk through, but i didnt expect such entry level quality. Maybe its my own fault for thinking i could get a quality product for $480 k. I know i was promised one.
