Alta Home Garages & More

Another excellent job completed by Alta Home.

Thanks, Guys!

It is not our first project with your company and definitely not the last!

Very well organized , easy to communicate, very professional team.

These guys are great!! Reassured me every step of the way and answered all questions. They even went out of the way to do extra work not required of them. I would recommend them to anyone. Thanks guys!!

I am most pleased with my new garage. It is all I expected and more. The quality and workmanship is excellent. It was pleasure to deal with their representatives. A job well done!

Alta Home did an excellent job building our new garage. They provided expert knowledge and experience recommending features we requested. Alta Home took care of all the building permits, and scheduled the cement work only during fair weather to ensure quality foundation and concrete pad. They provided excellent specialist Sub contractors and quality workmanship. I would recommend Alta Home to anyone.

Very satisfied with their workmanship. Appreciated when they quickly fixed any deficiencies (e.g. light switches installed on the wrong side of the man door). Would hire them again.

I am very happy I choose Alta Homes when looking online to do my detached garage. I manage to watch some of the process of constuction and I was certainly impressed with the quality and organized approach to the overall contruction. They met all my needs and workers were very professional. "Top Quality!"

We had an excellent experience with Altahomes as they built our new garage. Offering expert advice from start to finish, they ensured to communicate everything we needed to know. The job started earlier than expected and therefore finished sooner - which was a welcomed surprise. Prices are great, service is excellent and we are happy with the entire process. Any future home renovations will be entrusted to Altahomes.

I am writing this review on behalf of my father who recently got a 22x20’ detached garage built by Alta Home in June 2018. Dad decided to go with Alta home after reading all their great reviews along with their promised workmanship warranty. Unfortunately, this process was a very stressful time from the very beginning with their concrete pad floor job. After the concrete pad was poured and the stress lines were cut, dad noticed that there was water sitting in the middle of the floor after a rainy day and it was not draining out of the garage. He addressed this problem with the company and the answer that he received from the owner Stan was that “this was normal.” Dad insisted that there was a low spot near the middle of the floor and on top of that there was not a 2” slope from back to front of the garage as their plan had indicated therefore there was water pooling in the middle of the garage floor. Please see attached photos. Again, the answer was “this is normal” and Atla home continued on with the construction of framing, roofing, siding and electrical while collecting money stage by stage. The biggest mistake made by dad was paying them even though the garage floor was terrible. After contacting Stan a few times with the photos regarding this problem, Stan insisted that there was a 2” slope but in reality it was only 1” if that. After paying nearly $16000 dad told Stan he will not pay the final payment until this problem had been addressed. Instead of coming out of his office to check out the water pooling in the middle of the concrete floor, Stan sent Ross, one of his site managers. Ross confirmed with dad that they had done a terrible job pouring the concrete floor with low spots and not enough slope. He claimed that it was unacceptable workmanship. Ross signed on the contract “the last payment will be after the concrete is repaired” signed on 28/06/18.

After discussing methods of fixing the concrete floor, Stan was not prepared to pay the associated costs to get it done properly as many of us know that it’s very difficult to fix and repair a badly constructed concrete floor. He sent different people over to assess it and wanted to do a quick fix patch job which my dad did not agree with. The last payment was still not paid since nothing was yet fixed. He then received a threat via email from Stan stating, “we do need to get paid the remainder of the balance asap otherwise you will be charged 24% compound interest rate on the project. We will also file for a lien against the property.” Finally, they got some people over to grind down the high spots, fill the low spots and recut the lines. The result was worse than the original problem. Please see photos to understand how bad this was.

I am writing this for my father hoping that nobody will go through what Alta Home put him through. As you can see from the photos, a brand new garage floor should not look like this. If water sits in the middle of the floor from the snow and slush of the vehicles parked in the garage in the winter, then we have safety issues with freezing and ice build up. Dad is a senior and has now spent over $20000 to have this garage built to help with the cold snowy conditions. He should not have a garage floor like this.

We have nothing to gain to write this review except to let people know it was a nightmare dealing with Stan. Everything else from framing to roofing and electrical went well. Perhaps their crew had a bad day with the concrete work so the owner of the company should take accountability and fix it properly. If you are reading this review looking to build a garage or if you were Stan or one of his managers, would you pay a company to build a garage with a floor looking like the one in these photos? The result of the finished garage is not anywhere near the promise that was made by the company.

I was happy with the workmanship and how fast the garage was built. The contractors were professionals. Job was completed in a timely manner and the worksite was cleaned up. There were a few problems that were taken care of right away.

Thanks for a good job.

They provide exceptional customer service and ensure you are kept in the loop through out the entire building process. I would highly recommend working with this contractor.

I contacted Alta home looking for a custom garage and I am extremely impressed with the end result. No detail was overlooked! Any concern that was mentioned was addressed and sorted out quickly. It was great dealing with Stan and his team - Thanks again for all the hard work and giving me an incredible garage!

Can't be happy enough with Alta Home and our new basement! Every detail of the project was handled with much consideration and quality. The process was transparent and explained from the beginning to end. We were advised of best layout and different finishing options. Would definitely recommend Stan, Ross, Martin and the crew at Alta Home for any basement development projects.

We highly recommend Alta Home for several reasons. We had a garage built in July 2017 with them and they did a amazing job, beyond our expectations. The team had to work in extreme heat conditions but they never slow down the pace, it was amazing! They are professional, dedicated and perfectionist.

They also built a nice fence and the landscape around the garage looks better than ever.

Also, Stan, the owner was always responding to our questions by email or phone extremely rapidly. He was always there for us. He and his crew were very respectful and always listening to our requests. They never hesitated to make a last minute change. So as you can see, we are happy customers and have no doubt you will too if you choose them. :)

Had a new garage built by Alta Home Garages. From estimate to completion, the entire team was professional and courteous. Communication from the staff was great, the workers were very respectful of the property, timeline and budget was met exactly and the garage itself is fantastic. Ross is a great builder!

Would highly recommend this company to anyone!

Stan and the guys at Alta Homes were great. They built our garage in just about two weeks and easily met their commitments to us time-wise. Quality wise, they came back to correct two minor issues literally the day after we reported them. They were professional, helpful and direct about costs, timelines and the construction process. I recommend them highly.

Had a garage built by Alta home and garage. Stan and his crew were very good guys, enjoyed them. They did a great job. Would very much recommed them.

To preface this review, I am not an a-typical client when it comes contractors. I personally have an understanding from application when it comes to construction based projects. So I wasn’t at all ignorant when it came to any stage of the project for building a garage. We initially had another contractor lined up, but his lack of communication made us cut the ties before the project begin.

My first impression when I met Stan from Alta Home was the following; he was prompt, courteous, listened to the details I had and gave some solutions that fit exactly what I wanted.

Communications wise: Absolutely excellent, never had to guess or hunt down to find info if need be. Very open and honest, definitely not what I have experienced from other contractors.

Team: Their team was polite and courteous. Never felt they were a burden and respected all the “life” going on around them. Very nice and respectful from my interactions and my wife and kids felt safe around them.

Project: We had a few unexpected hiccups on the project, but based on my experience. What they requested was more than fair and they worked with me to make sure these extra steps were taken for a better product. My foundation needed a lot more work than what was in project scope. The quality has been very good and even went above an beyond to ensure I was happy overall.

Price: I would say based on my experience with all the quotes… they were in the low-mid range and for all the workers they employ, that was impressive.

Overall: I would HIGHLY recommend Alta Home Garages & More. I am confident in their work and their ability to problem solve as well as delivering an outstanding product.

I used Alta home to build my garage and I love it. They did a great job from start to finish and the cost was reasonable. I would recommend them to others if asked.

I had my garage, fence and deck built by Alta Home and want to write several words about them. After a substantial research for a good contractor I almost said Goodbye to the garage and deck that I wanted so much – everything was too expensive or the quality of the ready objects was too poor. Alta Home offered the most competitive price-quality quote and I have never regretted working with them. They were very flexible in discussing the projects, and they worked strictly according to the confirmed schedule. What is also important, if I wasn’t happy with anything, they were able to fix it in a really reasonable time, as well as when I wanted to change something during the construction process. I will recommend this company for the projects like mine.

I was looking for garage builders to build 22x22 detached garage. I am extremely happy and satisfied that I went with Alta home. Stan came to do estimate and he was answering all our questions. He explained the whole process and timelines. After discussion with other companies, I was decided to go with Alta home. Stan’s crew is amazing with the quality of work they do and very professional. Stan always makes sure that I am satisfied with the work and whenever I had some concern or suggestion, all were addressed and corrected properly. They finished the project before the proposed date in contract. I am incredibly happy with the quality and service that was provided during the build and I will contact Stan for all my future works. More importantly no hidden costs and payments were issued as per the contract.

I had a great experience with Alta Home. They were very helpful when it came to planning, and offered lots of advice throughout the construction process. Despite unfavourable weather conditions, construction ran on time and on budget. I would not hesitate to recommend Alta Home, and would gladly hire them again for another project.

I did my homework prior to choosing a contractor and Stan was able to answer all my questions. It was completed within the agreed upon schedule. Stan had great communication, and a hardworking crew with quality workmanship. I would not hesitate to give them a call again for future work.
