The following is the experience I had building a home through True-Line Homes in Red Deer. As you know, there are many builders to choose from in the city of Red Deer. That being said, quantity and quality are two different things. I believe that a home should be designed and built by a construction company that understands what ‘quality’ really is. True-Line Homes is that builder.
From the first meeting with Adrian Karsten, new home consultant, my wife and I knew we were dealing with a professional company. Adrian spent many hours explaining the process of the build as well as designing our custom floor plan for our home. He wanted to know what we wanted in a home so we would be happy, not what the builder thought was easier to build. We were informed that we are welcome on the build site at anytime during the build…no appointment necessary. Wow, there are not many builders who offer that freedom to their clients. You have to ask yourself, why shouldn’t I have free access to my build, it is my home and my money that is paying for the build!
I was at the build site daily. I wanted to make sure the walls were level and square…the way a house is suppose to be built. Not many builders make that a priority in this city. I would bring my own level and carpenters square to check…I never found one thing wrong, and I really tried to find something. I had the opportunity to work closely with Brian Glass, the site supervisor, “little’ Phil from True-Line Homes as well as many of the sub-trades. Brian was a pleasure to deal with and was always available to answer any questions I had. Unlike many other people I know who have used other builders, I enjoyed the building process and I am happy to say that I continue relationships I made with Brian Glass as well as some of the trades people years after the house was completed.
What really makes True-Lines Homes outstanding is their after sales service. Brian Glass has gone out of his way to make sure my wife and I are happy in our home. We were experiencing some drainage issues that had nothing to do with True-Line Homes, but did involve Melcor Developments. Brian took it upon himself to come and see what the problem was and then contacted Melcor on our behalf to explain the issue to them. Within a week Brain and the Melcor representative were on site and before I knew it, Melcor had a crew re-grading the area behind our property for better drainage. I thank Melcor for the fix, but I truly am impressed with Brian Glass. It wasn’t his job to get involved with this issue, but he took it upon himself to make sure we were happy, and we are.
To conclude, there are many home builders in Red Deer who will promise you the best home ever and deliver a cookie style home that just meets building standards. If you want a custom home, for the same price of the other builders, where the build quality is well above the average and you have input from the first time you sit down with Adrian Karsten, through the building process with Brian Glass and his team, then True-Line Homes is the only builder you should consider. Working with True-Line Homes was liking being part of a family…without the drama and the arguments…lol.
