Hello George,
It is understood that you were expecting an air conditioning unit to be installed for your home due to the misunderstanding of the acronym HVAC used in our brochures. An Air Conditioner was not provided, as it was not included in the contract documents.
The cabinet drawers are as per our supplier’s standard. The upper cabinet heights are as per the Purchase Agreement and cabinet layouts.
Excel has made efforts to address concerns as they were brought up. One example is that your home was re-mudded, taped and painted over the holiday season in 2022, prior to you moving in. Our team actioned warrantable items that were required based on an Alberta New Home Warranty Program report. These included the vapor barrier repair in your basement and both bedrooms above the garage, repairing the subfloor in both the upper hallway and loft bedroom, replacing the missing drip lips on 2 windows and rectifying the issue with the tile at the tub deck in your ensuite. Additional items in the report required no action, as they are not considered warrantable defects. Additionally, Excel completed many non-warrantable items in your home to help address your concerns, as we felt it was the right thing to do. For example, Excel Homes arranged for our trade partner to adjust the cabinets near the fridge to allow for the fridge that was supplied by you to fit into the opening.
We are aware of one remaining item to be completed that we understand our trade partner has a time scheduled with you to address the issue with a drawer face.

DO NOT BUILD WITH THIS BUILDER
Hello,
Thank you for taking the time to leave your review, we are sorry that this has been your experience. Excel Homes is not able to offer a dual-zone furnace due to the complexity of obtaining permits through the City of Airdrie. We sincerely apologize for the misunderstanding and the inconvenience that this may have caused.
Unfortunately, Excel Homes was faced with navigating supply and trade shortages, and at the time of your possession, we were dealing with the shortage of shower doors. We hope that you can understand that the shortage was out of our control, and our staff made sure to go above and beyond to rectify the issue as soon as possible.
It is our process to document all deficiencies in a home, and upon inspection, if an item is warrantable, we will fix it.
Due to the number of homes that need seasonal items to be completed when favourable weather permits, we are transparent with our homeowners and state in every Sales Contract that Excel Homes has up to 12 months to complete seasonal items. We schedule these seasonal items to begin after the May long weekend every year (weather dependent), and excessive months of rain such as June can cause further delays. Our team works diligently to complete all deficient seasonal items on each Excel Home during their 12-month contractual status, as we take pride in our Customer Service.
If you would like to discuss this further, please do not hesitate to reach out to our Customer Service team. Thank you.
