We had the pleasure of working with Kevin Blair from Alair Homes - Collingwood when planning and building our custom home in Blue Mountain - Peaks Bay. We found their services to be of excellent quality, from the inception/estimate stage to the final hand-over of the house. They were responsive, came up with solutions each time an unexpected condition occurred. The trades they employed were first rate, particularly the carpentry, tile laying and cabinetry. Most importantly, the construction schedule was followed, in spite of a particularly rainy spring and unexpectedly high water table.
Post occupancy, Kevin stayed available and fully responsive, coming himself to correct some minor issues which inevitably show up once a new construction is ready.
Over-all, our experience with Kevin and Alair Homes was extremely positive; he surely knows the construction trade inside out, and that is indeed rare these days. We wholeheartedly recommend his services to anyone looking to for an experienced project manager to take charge and deliver a quality new construction or renovation work.
My wife and I would like to take this opportunity to thank The Blair family, Kevin, Laurie and Brodey, for the amazing job that they did in building our retirement home. We bought some land in Collingwood and we decided to retire there and we interviewed a number of local home builders. After our 1st meeting with the Blair's, we new instantly, that they were the builders we were going with. There was no hidden agenda. They were very precise, friendly, and most of all, knowledgeable. They made you feel like you were part of their family. They took a genuine concern, knowing that there is a lot of stress involved in such a project. Their honesty was overwhelming.
From the start to the finish, they walked you through the whole adventure. Yes, we ran into a couple of hiccups, but were taken care of immediately in a very professional matter. There was nothing that The Blair's did not have control of. Their son Brodey was exceptional, filling us in everyday, about the next stage.
We highly recommend The Blair's (Alair Homes) to anyone that is having a new home being built or renovated. They managed to take the worry and stress that you have, when taking on a project like this. Wendy and I cannot say and thank the Blair's enough, for our magnificent retirement home. We have had nothing but WOW'S from all our friends and family.
Thanks again Kevin, Laurie and Brodey and The Alair Family.

This past summer we had Kevin (Alair Homes) add an addition and renovate the rest of our home. They showed up when they said they would and helped us to understand the Alair software, which made it easy to track our budget .
The trades were very accommodating and professional, we had no issues with any of them.
We believe we received better value than expected and highly recommend Kevin.
We sent. Few email to contractor in the area and Alair Construction was the first to come talk to us. Well dressed and on time. They presented their company and the new features that set them apart from others. Our case was particular since we needed to live in the basement to provide for our animals during the construction. They agreed to work around us. We didn't take long to make our decision and give them a deposit for the work to start. We signed up in May and the work started in June due to township issues and a few changes we did to the plans. Once the permits were secured my husband started the demolition to save money and to properly recycle the materials. Oro-Medonte landfill was very helpful with tips and it was more affordable to make a few trip with the trailer than to have a huge metal dumpster in our yard. During the demolition we realized we couldn't do some of things we wanted so we saved money in certain areas but lost it in other surprises. Like the ceiling in our daughters room revealed a few defects caused during the original construction of this house. Kevin made sure these were fixed to prevent any future damming of ice on the roof the addition of vents in the attic also improved the air circulation for the winter. Windows were added, the bathroom was updated, the kitchen and Cambria counter tops were provided and set up by Premier Kitchen from Collingwood. They did a terrific job. I must admit that all the companies hired by Kevin had been reviewed for necessary codes and WSIB protection. The contractors, roofers, mud crew, painters, electrician and plumber were all 100% behind their work and if a mistake was made they were there the next day to fix it. They cleanup the nails, the wood pieces, the sand they brought in with their feet and threw what needed to go to the dump in certain piles for my husband to sort. Some of them even took back the boxes they has used. The roofers took care of the old shingles and the by spider that lived up there! Thank you for that! We found that communication was probably the only little weakness they had. The website they used wasn't always updated on time and they would tell us to approve something that didn't appear on our end. I made a few suggestion to get rid of the titles that didn't apply to our construction so we didn't have to scrolled down so far to find the subject we were looking for. The titles at the top of the columns should also be frozen so we can see them at all times while scrolling down. Hopefully the head office will make these changes. Overall we are very please with the house and the look we've achieved inside and out with the changes.
I would decently recommend Alair Collingwood for your next construction plans or renovations.
