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.
Thank you for posting this review. Just like any other company in the industry our company have some tolerance to the imperfection on the garage concrete slab, that being said it still exceeds an average poured a concrete slab. That can be observed by many other reviews of concrete projects we have done. We were working hard to make sure every concern of your father was addressed and fixed. There was a discount applied on the original quote and upgrades offered at no extra cost. Once again we are sorry for your experience we would be happy to speak to you or your dad at anytime.

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.
