Baywood Homes

I bought a brand new baywood home and moved in on jan 09. I should have known the house would give me problems down the road when the pdi list generated over 100 repair items. Repairs were rushed, every repair trip resulted in a list of new defects. Fast forward to a month ago and I started noticing water dripping from my office closet door frame and from the ceiling on the main floor. Had some roofers and contractors assess the condition of the roof and general consensus was the roof needed to be replaced. Thats right the roof on my 5 yr old home needs to be replaced, so much for 20 yr shingles. I contacted baywood and as expected, they hid behing the tarion warranty and sent me to talk to their roofers. Baywood's commitment to quality craftsmanship is an advertising slogan and nothing more, they stand behind their product to the extent the tarion warranty forces them and even there, their strategy is to frustrate the homeowner into submission until the warranty period expires and then you're on your own. Buyer beware!

bought a house in woodbridge from Baywood Homes in 1999. Offered shingles with a 20 year warranty. After 11 years they are falling apart. Baywood says they are not responsible and can not provide us with any means of obtaining any use from the warranty as they no longer have any records. Why state that the shingles have a warranty if you are not going to stand behind the statement. Instead they hide behind the Tarion program. Good luck if you buy from them. Get your shingle warranty absolutely cover in the contract beyond their Tarion excuse.

I have recently purchased a home from Baywood Homes in Barrie. The house is scheduled to be completed sometime early 2010. So fare my experience with this builder has been exceptional. Staff are very professional and are experts in the field. Decor office is located in Toronto but its worth the drive as they have many options and samples to customize your home. I will get back to you in a few months to let you know how it turns out.
