New build in mahogany

My husband and I recently purchased a home through Excel. What we enjoyed most about the building process is how stress-free it really was! Having a predetermined colour template was very helpful. We made all our selections with our sales rep during one evening appointment. We are happy with the look of our new home and the quality of the finishings. A special thanks to Doug and Faryn our sales associates in Mahogany for all their help along the way!

Excel Homes Team-Sunset Ridge Cochrane

My wife and I purchased our current home with Excel Builders a few months after selling our previous property from Fort McMurray .We were more than nervous about investing in another property. We decided to take a leap of faith and reached out to Excel Builders to help with the purchase. We wanted to keep the budget within a certain price range and it was hard to find a home with our wish list within that range. Not only did the folks at Excel Builders find us a house within our budget, they left no stone unturned to ensure it would be a property that we would be proud to call home. Angela and Michelle went out of their way to ensure we got all the elements we hoped for and spent extra time selecting the perfect pieces. Josip, the construction Supervisor went above and beyond the call of duty to make sure the construction was on time without compromising on quality and workmanship. Gerry provided all the information during our walkthrough, explaining in detail regarding how each appliance worked and details pertaining to maintenance. The Excel team’s customer service, quick response to questions, and above all, the care and attention to detail is best among other builders I have seen. We would highly recommend Excel Builders to anyone who is looking for exceptional service in property market. Thanks again Angela, Michelle and Josip for making our dream come true.

Duplex in Hillcrest, Airdrie

I purchased a “Green Built” duplex with Excel Homes in Hillcrest, Airdrie. Before stopping by to visit the Hillcrest sales center, I spent around 5 months with approximately 15 different builders in a few different neighborhoods of Calgary and surrounding areas.

Upon coming to Excel Homes sales center in Hillcrest, Jamie and David were friendly and went above and beyond while guiding me through Excel’s existing homes in the area, in order for me to visualize how their homes and finishes will look like in the new area of Hillcrest. There were no show homes for the particular product that I was interested in, but I liked the floor plans offered, especially the walk out basement option. I liked Hillcrest neighborhood from the very beginning. It was tough at the start because I like to visual things and I know I am a picky customer / person. It was an amazing experience to be one of the first buyers in the newly released area and having the ability to choose the position of the house, street number and elevation. After I made a decision to proceed with a purchase of my new home, the whole process went really smooth. Jamie and David were great with coordination of the choices for house colors, finishes and upgrades. I was given detailed plans for community development plans in the future.

David and Jamie suggested I can use the mortgage broker Justin that works with Excel Homes. Justin also went above and beyond to find me the best possible rate for my pre-approval! A month before the possession date Justin found me even better option with a different lender and again set everything up for approval quickly.

Construction walk-through was educative and I had a chance to see how the house is being built and all my questions were answered properly. Before possession date I even had my own home inspector coming in and doing an inspection and there were no deficiencies found. On the possession date, new home orientation went really well and was detailed. The house looks awesome. Few small issues were corrected right away. I had few questions about new HVAC system in the house and Shane from Excel Homes customer service was really quick and effective in replying back and answering all questions that I had.

Overall, it was a great experience to cooperate with the whole Excel Homes - Hillcrest team and I would recommend them to anyone.

My New Home in Savanna, Calgary

My first Home, buying experience was good. Sales team was excellent (Cathey, Tarek, Ashley & Karen). Attended a presentation in their office to understand the different construction steps and the material used by excel homes. Weekly pictures of home construction via email. Got the possession on timely manner. Post possession, have some small issues here & there, but the serviceman assured to fix them up as the home is under warranty by excel homes.

Excel Mountainview Home, Okotoks

We have now been in our new home for 3 months and wanted to wait until now to review so we could comment on all aspects of our new home experience. Buying - we built in Mountainview, Okotoks - first off, what a great community, not just the location but all other residents we have met are friendly, welcoming and generally awesome! The sales team were super friendly and helpful. We had a few changes in personnel, beginning with Kristen & Angela, then Ellen & Luc. All were really helpful in guiding us through the design and choices. Moving in - house was built ahead of schedule, yay! Pre-possision walkthrough was well organized and some deficiencies were fixed on the spot. Majority of other items were fixed prior to move in. When I say deficiencies, they were all very minor, paint touch ups etc. The site manager is very helpful & responsive in fixing any other issues that has come up over the last 3 months. My favourite part of the house is the upgraded kitchen, it has been a great focal point of the home when entertaining our friends. Overall a very happy experience for our family.

New Build

We just moved into to our new home in Sunset Ridge in Cochrane. Angela's level of customer service was top notch. She was always quick to return our phone calls and was always willing to answer all of our questions (sometimes the same ones over and over) whenever we came by the show home. We received weekly updates which made the process so much more bearable for my husband who had a difficult time leaving the build to the professionals. There were a couple of times that Angela went above and beyond to put our minds at ease throughout the process. If we were just rating Angela, this would be a 5 star rating for sure. Our home was ready on schedule and it was wonderful to move in for Christmas. We would have liked to have been able to customize our build a little bit more, such as being able to install engineered hardwood on the second level rather than carpet and a second window in the basement. After a few days in the house we are noticing a few issues that will be addressed quickly, we have no doubt. Everyone that we have worked with at Excel has been very accommodating. We would recommend Excel homes.
