New garage

I decided in February to hire this company and with a deposit was given a start and estimated completion date.
To my surprise they didnt even start the job until weeks after the completion date.
It started horribly, Boris the main contractor on the job simply hands the work over to companies without fully outlining the details or following up to assure they are done correctly.
I arrived home to find the garage cement pad was poured in correctly and failed to meet city codes.
I had to contact the contractor to inform him it was done improperly.
They made a mess of the pad by incorrectly covering it with poly leaving ugly lines all over the pad.
Next I happened to open my web cams to see the framer placing the window in the wrong place.
His answer was he tried but never can get a answer on the phone from the contractor.
A few days later Boris sends the electrician to my house on a Friday night at 10 pm to start wiring without a legal permit.
When the electrician left he tried to take my breakers from my house panel to I assume resuse in another job as he put used breakers in mine.
The garage has failed final inspection at this point because now i have to install fireproof drywall at my cost because the company placed the pad improperly.
The man door is another horrible job with nails.
Now im billed without even a final walkthrough inspection to discuss issues.
Would i recommend this company?
Absolutely not.

Hi Keith,

Firstly, we're really sorry to hear you're disappointed with your experience. We do our best to deliver a service that we can be proud of

I'd like to clarify a few points you've brought up:

We give estimates rather than fixed dates, especially for early-season projects that are 100+ km from the City of Edmonton limits. Unpredictable factors like a prolonged winter can delay the start date. We communicated this beforehand.

The setback change was an error on the Town of Wetaskiwin's part, and we've been working to resolve this. We also applied for a variance, absorbing the cost ourselves. Any errors on our side were fixed without delays.

Electrical work was done with a permit. While it's hard to believe our longtime electrician would make such an oversight, we promptly replaced the breakers to ensure your satisfaction.

Quality & Inspection: You moved items into the garage before the project was completed, which could contribute to some of the damage you cited. This is against our liability and company policy, as it compromises both quality control and safety. We still fixed all the aforementioned issues and our final walkthrough report that was signed off by you didn't show these issues.

Fire-rated Wall: This was another late-stage requirement from the town of Wetaskiwin, not an oversight on our part. We're adapting to it as quickly as we can.

We've endeavoured to go above and beyond to resolve these issues, even providing additional services like the concrete apron at no extra cost to you. We get it, though. The end result was not what you had hoped for, and for that, we are sorry.

Basement Developement

Alta Homes helped build my garage and I was impressed with their work. I therefore contracted my basement development to them and I was not disappointed. They were very professional, excellent at what they do, and provide good quality material for their jobs.
I love the finishing of my basement, and they were able to reproduce the exact design I had in mind. The offer very good value for the money as well, and my basement was completed earlier than the 8 weeks as promised!
Well done guys! I look forward to working with you again soon!

Basement Development

We chose Alta Home Garages & More after carefully going through a bunch of quotes we invited for our Basement finishing. Not only were they the best quote, but the team was very friendly and professional in their work too. They made sure the work was thorough and to the standards of the City inspection which they did comply with at all stages. They were kind enough to accommodate our needs and extended the courtesy of hearing out our wishes and concerns. They also made sure our choices were taken into account when it came to materials used in the work. WE LOVE OUR BASEMENT NOW!!

Awesome Build

Working with AltaHome was an excellent experience from start to finish for the construction of my Garage! I can sum it up in a few words: "I definitely chose the right company". They were very accommodating during the construction process and provided exceptional workmanship. I recommend AltaHome to anyone not sure who to choose for their garage build. The company takes pride in the quality of workmanship and the trades do phenomenal work!

Thank you very much for a wonderful experience!

Fred.

28x30' heated detached garage build

I engaged Alta Home to construct a 28x30' detached heated garage on my property. As I took possession in the middle of July, once the permit was received, there was a short fuse on the project before winter set in. Given the scope of the work, which included a complex utility run, I am extremely happy with the end result. The bottom line is I will be using them again for an additional project on the property, and will recommend them if others ask.

20x22 Garage and stamped patio

If you read the bad reviews, dont believe them! This company and group of workers have made me happy with the project they took on. My wife made me go through the work to find any deficiencies when they left and I could not find any. Im sure there must of been a couple but if there was I know they must of fixed them. Im definitely going to be calling them back for more upgrades to my home and garage.
If you want upgrades to your home I highly recommend this group and company.
