Minto Homes

I purchased a townhouse at Minto Kingmeadow in 2015. From the design centre meetings to the Pre-delivery inspection, 1 month and 1 year Tarion Warranty Inspections and owing/ living in this home for close to 2 years- I have experienced subpar craftsmanship, terrible customer service, runarounds and complete unsatisfaction from this builder. Buyer beware! They have a high staff turnover, they hire subcontractors to put your house together and they pay those subcontractors by piece work which means they aren't hourly wage workers so they slap together your home (baseboards, drywall, stairs, tiles, etc) as quickly as they can because that's how they make money. There is no quality. My baseboards had dust and debris painted into them. Who does that?! And on what planet is that considered acceptable for a brand new home? Two years later and I'm still waiting for my driveway to be paved. Minto says they are not obligated to put asphalt but they will do it as a courtesy when they are available to do so. The condo townhomes across from me had the driveways completed before the owners took occupancy and here I am paying $100,000 more for my home and I'm still waiting. I could honestly write a novel about all of the issues I've had but it's really upsetting as a first time homeowner so I'll leave it at this: Minto is a subpar home builder with high prices and crappy customer service. Have your 5 year old build you a home and it will probably look better!
