Margaret and Tim Clarke – My experience purchasing a home from Horizon Homes fits into three categories; Quality & workmanship, the home’s design and the company’s follow through. Being new to the city and not knowing any of the builders or their reputations we purchased from this builder with no real expectations, just the hope that it would be a good home with little to no problems.
Exceeding expectations is the motto for Horizon and we have found them to live up to their word in regards to the quality and workmanship. The home is solid and after being in it for a year, it is proving to be a very well built home. The typically cracking and shifting do to our climate and soil are virtually nonexistent. All the main door are 36 inches and the hallways are a little bit wider then normal. This makes a huge difference once you’re living in the house. There are many highlights to the construction and finishing that could be listed, but a small thing worth noting is the baseboards. The wide, 6 inch baseboards were not something we thought of, but the builder included them and they finish things off in a great way.
We purchased one of Horizon’s smaller homes, at approximately 1500 sq./ft. Our kids are moving out and we wanted something fairly manageable. Even with the smaller square footage, we have entertained large groups, up to 35 people. The design wastes no space and allows you to get your maximum bang for your buck. The open concept works great for intimate get-togethers or larger parties.
The highlight for us in purchasing a Horizon home has been dealing with Norm and the guys. Listening to other friends with new homes, we regularly hear stories of long waits to get a problem fixed. Any issue we have had, which have been minor and only a few items, have been addressed immediately in as short of a period as 24 hours. They always treat us with concern and a straightforwardness that I have appreciated. They give you honest answers and behave in a way that makes you taken care of. Their follow through and follow up has been exception.
We love our house and have no intentions of moving out of it. But if we chose to build again in Moose Jaw, there would only be one builder we would trust to build us a home. Horizon Homes lives up to their claim of exceeding expectations. I highly recommend you consider letting Norm and the guys build you a home, you’ll love it.
