We purchased an infill they were building in October 2022. It has now been over 7 months since we took possession and there are still items on the holdback not completed. To get even some of the things done I had to repeatedly email/call builder and our lawyer. This was items on the holdback and doesn’t even address issues that were found after we took ownership - for example 1) tap freezes every time it gets less than -20 and despite being told they would address it (in writing) nothing has been done, 2) none of the doors actually locked, 3) the master shower glass door doesn’t close and I could go own. What bothers me most about this is that they just kept telling me they would address and then never do anything about it. We had expected the usual delays with COVID times but twice I found out they hadn’t actually ordered things that were not done until my 4th reminder.
I would avoid the builder. Please see other reviews. I wish I had taken them more seriously.
My wife and I just purchased a Chandan Home in Altadore. We took possession last Friday and have been extremely happy with their product. The house is beautiful and the builder has been excellent to deal with over the deficiency list. They respond immediately to our questions and concerns and have helped us with solutions. Anyone buying a new build will undoubtably have issues and high expectations, I can only imagine how stressful this must be for the builder. Very happy that we have been able to maintain a great relationship and look forward to working with them in the future. Their site superintendent (Tony) is amazing to work with, he is understanding of our concerns and we legitimately believe he has our best interests in mind. I would recommend Chandan Homes to anyone without any hesitation.
Do not buy from Chandan Homes. Do not deal with the owner Yashpal Singh aka Paul Singh aka Yashpal Singh Shergil.
It is very difficult to get any major deficiencies fixed. He even battles over smaller ones.
At our year end I complained about a ceiling stain in the upstairs bedroom. I asked for an attic inspection and an explanation of where the water came from. He brought in his "best attic guy."
I was told the attic was perfect. When I asked about the attic rain, he said it is inevitable in Calgary. It cannot be stopped.
Service Alberta states attic rain is the result of improper vapor barrier, lack of insulation and lack of air circulation or ventilation.
Soon after, we had more water entering our home and for the next year I lodged complaints with Chandan as well as Home Warranty Program.
Filed 5 complaints with Home Warranty and actually had 4 of them be successful.
Home Warranty found
:lack of proper sealing of the vapor barrier in all 4 attics and repaired all vapor barrier.
:several places where there was no insulation in the attic and insufficient insulation throughout. Added insulation to all 4 attics.
:Replaced all shingles on the entire roof as there were so many deficiencies that it was the best solution.
: replaced all bathroom vents, dryer vents, intake and exhaust vents as none where properly installed or attached to the "roof". Lack of proper ventilation.
Since all the repairs have been done, the attic rain seems to have stopped. (???)
So his best attic guy either lied or knows nothing about attics.
We battled over a drainage trench that was on the drawings and is City code for a building with our roof line. After 6 months he did 1/3 of it. Would not do the rest.
Missing railings on stairs so they did not meet code until we contacted City of Calgary building permits who forced him to install one.
Electrical fire in a junction box that was lacking grounding bushings.
And at least 20 more.
This man will sugar coat a lot of stuff, then delay and delay. Will barter to get out of doing repairs or fixes..
Be warned, a Chandan home looks pretty good. It is the stuff you cannot see that is either done poorly or not done at all....and it is the stuff that will be necessary and very expensive to fix.
We took a lot of time getting New Home Warranty to even investigate. Over 50 emails and a full year
For us to do all the repairs that were done would have been well over $40,000.
Say no to Chandan Homes.
