This was my second newly built Greenpark home, my first was purchased in 1996 and I had no complaints, so I was excited to purchase from them again.
This time around however I found numerous concerns with quality.
Garage door opener purchased from their decor centre was not installed well and was too small for the door and broke the door, I paid $2500 to replace. The furnace fan broke after 1yr and a half and then the motor broke a year after that. I ended up having to buy a new furnace.
One of the rooms in the house (not the one over the garage) gets no heat or air, the vent is blocked somewhere behind the walls.
Cabinetry is poorly installed and drop out of place, or come loose, only 1 screw installed where 2 were required. Shower stall caulking dried out and crumbled 2 years after build. Linen closet door never closed. Door handles come loose, towel racks fell off the wall.
cement on rear patio, veranda, around garage flakes and crumbles. I paid to have it resealed twice. The asphalt shingles are 10 yr wear, not 30, 24 or even 18yrs. There are 2 spots of glue on each tile and there appears to be nothing underneath-it appears to be stuck to the plywood. I spent $1500 to rebuild the land under the front steps because a big sinkhole formed. My house is 12yrs old and with all the repairs I feel as if I bought the house twice. As for Tarion-they were not interested in providing any solutions, they have more red tape and dodged all responsibility and involvement. I would never buy a new build again, this was my 5th new home and the quality has severely deteriorated from home to home. Greenpark should be ashamed, they would never live in the homes they sell.
