Lakeview Homes Inc.

Worst quality workmanship. Most of our house must have been done by contractors who had zero idea what they were doing. Paint on floor tiles, large gaps between wood work, simple things like power outlet holes 2x way too big so the plate won't stay in. Several air intake plates fell off because of the same issue. Tons of bad drywall work, wood work and more. 100% not worth ever buying a house from these builders.

This review is about our appointment at the decor centre with Mandy. She is a very professional and experienced design consultant. She was very instrumental in making our finishing decisions and forthcoming with her inputs whenever she realized we were making a incorrect decisions. We were explained the pros and cons of different materials. She was quick in recognizing our design and color scheme and ensured we stayed in line both with the scheme and budget.

Purchased property in Queensville and closed a few months ago. They are unreliable when it comes to getting thing fixed. Takes weeks to schedule a fix and when the day comes, sub-contractors don't show up or they pull their handy man out to go fix something at another site. Our hardwood floors were upgraded and are experiencing significant flex/spring in one area. Although this was deemed a non structural issue, the quality of work is questionable and so is their company's standard. We were told the floors would get fixed and even showed them a video of the significant flex in the hardwood. Three months later, there have been MANY failed scheduled attempts to get this done. We were constantly told it needed to be re-scheduled be because their handyman was busy. Okay, fine. But after many months and countless talks about getting the floors fixed, all of a sudden a Lakeview rep. tells us no action is required because it's not a structural issue. Lakeview could have told us this the moment they found out there was no structural issue but instead still promised (for three months) to fix it. Not only did we waste our money on the upgrade, but we wasted our time waiting on a fix they never intended to do but told us otherwise for three months. If you're looking to purchase from Lakeview - don't do it!! If you're a first time home buyer like us, that happiness and joy of finally owning your own property gets wiped away by the shenanigans Lakeview puts their customers through. Run Forrest Run!

I recently went to the Lakesview decor office to choose my interiors. I had a great experience with Mandy Samarzija the interior design consultant at the decor office. She truly helped us with our selections through the options we had patiently. She worked around our needs and what was best for us with the budget we had in mind. When we missed finding better options with same the price range, she actually took time to bring those options to our attention. She is very detail oriented and very sweet to work with. One more thing that I really appreciate about her is that she is very quick getting back to me. I always received her reply to my questions within an hour. That is something you don't see everywhere!

As a first time home buyer I haven’t gone through the purchasing experience before so I don’t have much to compare to, however I will attest that Lakeview has set the bar very high for me. From beginning to present, Lakeview has followed their word and we closed on a beautiful home in Dec 2021. We initially purchased in Jan 2021 so we were very pleased that we were among the few who were minimally impacted by delays as the other 2 builders in this development are very behind. A friend of ours with Aspen only had their foundation poured nearing June of 2022 when their closing was supposed to be back in March. Steve and Eve were helpful and transparent during the initial signing and with any follow up emails down the road. Mandy was very friendly and patient with us during our decor appointment, however we do wish we had either extra time for the in person appointment or were given digital access to options and upgrades so we can design and plan our colour scheme beforehand. Another review mentioned that the builder included a clause putting you at default of your purchase agreement if you didn’t provide mortgage approval within a set time. While it is standard practice to provide the builder with a *pre-approval* shortly after signing, that person completely misunderstood the true meaning. By my mistake, I had forgotten about this requirement and missed Lakeview’s several follow up emails reminding us about submitting the pre-approval. 3 weeks before closing I was going over our contract again, noticed this and reached out to the support team who escalated our concern to Steven at head office. Steven was 100% accommodating, helped us submit this requirement and made an exception for us despite being almost 6 months late. This could’ve been a large setback nearing closing due to that clause, however the builder didn’t turn this into an issue it didn’t need to be. Yes the purchase agreement is long, filled with clauses and may be overwhelming, but taking the time to understand it properly helps you understand that this is just all legal terminology to protect ourselves and the builder in extreme worst case scenarios. At the end of the day Lakeview delivered on their promise, built us a beautiful home for a really cheap price and left us completely happy. Aside from any minor complaints in our PDI we so far haven’t noticed anything majorly concerning 6 months after closing. Contractors have been coming in time to time to resolve our PDI claims and have been very friendly and respectful. Being one of the first houses on our street we’ve been observing how long construction is taking with the other builders and their progress helps us appreciate Lakeview that much more. The cherry on top was the gift basket Lakeview sent! Thank you once again for building this wonderful community.

8-9 year old homes in Shelburne are all needing new roofs becasue wrong shingles were used. Of course this shows up after warranty period. Every wind storm residents are scrambling to get roofs repaired becasue shingles blew off.Due to height of the homes they needed to use heavier shingles but they went the cheap route and now all the homes in the subdivison have a choice, purchase a new roof or continue to patch after every wind storm. This isnt one persons opinion. If youre thinking of purchasing a Lakeview home, go to Shelburne Lake view sub division and see for yourself, look at all the roofs and you will see all the patch work done on the roofs. This happens after every wind storm!!!

I purchased a Lakeview Home at Glenway Newmarket. From the sales team to the final closing, the staff at Lakeview was very professional and friendly, they have promptly answered all of my questions and addressed any concerns that I had. Lakeview built my house with quality material and workmanship. I especially loved the options for the finishes that were available at the decor centre. I will definitely consider buying a new build home from Lakeview in the future.

Bought a house in Newmarket in 2019 with upgraded hardwood floor. The floor looked no where close to upgraded and clean when we moved in. There was a ladder on our floor at the time of our inspection that has scratched the floor. The floor was covered with dust. After many emails to the builder, they finally came in to check the floor and replaced the scratched boards. However, did not do anything to remove the dust that was deep in the grains of the hardwood floor. To our surprise, a worker was sent to clean our floor with his personal clothes steamer. Professionalism at its best. The site supervisor, Mike, needs a special mention here. He came in to check the floor when we were dissatisfied with the use of the clothes steamer. He had no manners and was full of arrogance and attitude problems. He denied seeing the dust in the grains of the floor while it was right in front of his eyes and handed me a mop and a liquid to clean my floor. The second time Mr. Mike came in to check, we showed him the damaged areas only for him to step out of our door and tell his colleague Oh the floor is perfect". He is lazy

We have purchased 2 homes from Lakeview QV site. Our experience both times have been exceptionally well. Working with the sales staff to design center and back office was effortless. The are detail oriented and make sure you receive full attention and care when needed.Site supers are also a pleasure to deal with.

We bought our first home with Lakeview and we are beyond happy with the customer service and quality of home we received! You can always tell the difference between a lake view home and other homes in the development. The exterior of the home itself is phenomenal compared to other builders. Managed all of our upgrades and walked us through every step.
