Carolina Homes

Overall, not impressed with my first place. I was suprised to find very few reviews of Carolina Homes online prior to purchasing, but wish there were more in hindsight.

Their slogan for Meridian 114 in Airdrie: Affordable, Spacious, Sanctuary.

Yes, overall, originally, it is affordable. Until you realize you'll have to re-do the floors because the 1.5mm vinyl they used will kill your feet. Even wearing shoes in the house is no good. That's an extra $3000 probably. You'll also need an A/C if you're on the main/upper floor. Another $3000. Not looking so affordable now...

Spacious, sure. It's a good size.

Sanctuary. You'll need to run the ventilation fan if you ever want to sleep in during the week. Or get a noise maker. You'll hear all the cars in the parking lot. Not to mention the neighbours you'll hear through the walls.

The actual work from the contractors was pretty terrible - such a rushed job. They don't know what a measuring tape or level is for.

The site PM's also seem to be less than helpful at getting around to your 30-day walk-through. Make sure to get everything you can done when you first move in...otherwise you'll have to live with it.

I would not recommend this company or their homes to any of my friends or family...which is too bad because initially I was so impressed.

Overall their service was decent/good. There were a few things that they were supposed to fix that they did not after giving possession. Not going that extra step and forgetting to fix these things affects the way you see a company.

The representatives in Coventry Hills were great. Got good service and home was built on schedule. Overall a good experience with them. Would use them again to build our next home.
