Do Not Buy Any Homes From Parkgreen Homes Ltd. quote:

The lot next to me is by the builder "Parkgreen homes". They started construction early this year and damaged the exterior several time. I phoned and tried to deal with the problems with no luck. It refused to pay for and being told => "They are my contractors only, you should get them to pay for the damage. Ok, so this builder doesn't want to take any responsiblity to any one its jobs. After you buy a new home from them with problem, it will say => ask the contractor to fix it. Parkgreen homes has no responsibility for the problems.

Parkgreen homes is buiding a pressured threaded deck to the house. The problem is telling the client it is a pressure threaded deck, but only part of it. The top cover is pressure threaded wood but the base and structure is not => telling lies.

When I was searching for my house, I was almost brought it from ParkGreen Homes. I am glad I didn't purchase my new home with it. Pricy, lies, poor jobs and take no responsibility => Park Green Home.

I will take some photos of the poor jobs Parkgreen Homes did tonight.

Take pictures and get a lawyer. Don't let them get away with it. And I think you would be right to go after them rather than their contractors. Wouldn't they essentially be the general contractor for the project?

Take a look at the spelling and grammer errors on their home page. First of all, being an EI, I would never trust a home built by one. We made that mistake, thinking that it was a different case, but are still dealing with issues thanks to it. That company was building a 6 bedroom 2 story across the street from me, after a year...all that was done was the excavation and cribbing. Long story short, they got booted, and the customer went with someone else.

If they are constently on your property you can easily sue them for Nuisance and Tresspass. Also can obviously sue them for the damage. Specially if you've told them OFF then it is deffinately Negligent Nuisance and well the damage is obviously there.

Or you can also bring the action against the Contractors, or you can be against the both of the parties.

Talk to a lawyer, if you need one give me a PM. Can get you contacts of some good one's.

I believe it's the house next door but I'm not 100% on that. Welcome to the wonderful world of shoddy builders that plague this city. I own a Shane Home and it didn't take long for me to come to the conclusion that their name should be changed to Shit Homes. The truth is that most houses in the Calgary market are being built by people that aren't even proper tradesmen which is due to too much construction and too few qualified tradesmen available.

meh.

If you didn't pay for a pressure treated deck, then you won't get one. Those little pieces that are missing happen with EVERY builder. It take a year after possession for most homes to be "complete."

I do agree they are amateurs. The links on their website are invalid... and I love the hotmail address for the web master... hahahahhahaha

^^ I got a shane home too, not too impressed with the work, but having some experience with construction I wasn't surprised. But service wise they are not too bad with my experience so far and have fixed everything we asked and more.

Still there is no excuse for any builder to be doing this not with the prices people are paying. I'm interested to see what 10-15 years down the road will bring....I can forsee a lot of issues with these homes in the future which is trully unfortunate.

Well we've got Stepper Custom Homes for now, and it's actually pretty decent. Some of the problems we had after we took the possession of the house, were rectified by their personnel in a timely manner.

My builder is excellent => "Prominent homes Ltd". It fixed the problem right-the-way, including the damage by the GOd Dam "ParkGreen Homes".

"Prominent Homes" is a nice builder we have no problem so far. not even a tiny problem.

I don't have the photo at the moment, what it did was a cracked vinyl with a 2inch x 2inch hole on the side.

The deck is called "Pressure Threaded deck" by Parkgreen Homes.

your first picture of the vent. Its pluged just inside that cover remove it and pull out the insulation. We put ins to stop dust and debris from entering your house during construction.

2nd picture.
The deck package bought or sold most through your friendly developer is always going to be crap.
its way to expensive to have your builder do your deck.
you get what you pay for. so have it built by a profeshional deck company after move in.

3rd shot
thats a problem with your cap and fashia guy.
come in after your sider to cap the exterior. its a cut off piece and should take a second to fix. its probally there just blew off.

Isn't it right? I have never seen that. Will they remember to remove the insulation in the exhaust?

My deck is from the builder and its all pressure threaded same as Shane, Today, Sterling, Nuvista.............
