WORST HOME BUYER EXPERIENCE AFTER THEY GET YOUR $$$$
READ BEFORE YOU BUY A HOME FROM DAYTONA HOMES My Dayton Home experience in Brighton Saskatoon, Secord Way. Probably the worst experience a first time home buyer could go through. The buying process is very smooth and they ensure everything concern and need and request will be met and exceeded. Let me tell you as soon as they get your $$$, its a very different story. Nothing is on time, projects have been redone multiple times and trades don't show up to do the warranty work. Let me break this down..... Garage = Negotiated into the purchase price, purchased and took possession of my home on November 17 of 2016. They told me in front of my parents , who will attest to this ...that this will be completed in the spring. Spring comes along and Daytona Homes says they will do it at their convenience once more garages are to be built on the block ( June- July ). Its August 7th and my garage is still four walls and shingles. The pad was almost poured twice to the wrong dimensions where I had to stop them or it would have been too late. ( 20' x 22' not too complicated) I have seen Dream put up a neighbours garage within a month. Daytona looks like they have hired two dudes one truck to build their garages when they please. Plumbing = If you stopwatch how long it takes to get hot water up to the master bedroom its above 1 minute 40 seconds running wide open max hot. When I addressed this with the warranty manager he said " You get what you pay for" ( $350,000 ). I thought everyone was trying to be more efficient nowadays but they wont sacrifice efficiency for profit. Everything is for them to make an extra buck. Cheapest plumbing possible and the company that put it in is impossible to get ahold of. ( Bigger fish to fry , they don't care ) Landscaping = Requested no front landscaping as I will be putting in my own artificial lawn and landscaping. Come home from work to find two dumps of top soil and trees being placed on my front yard. Windows = They assured me that triple pane was not needed in new homes that their All Weather Windows were top notch. Well my windows froze all winter and wrecked the trim work around the windows. I was at 20% humidity and they had no HRV system in the house either. The site superintendent said their fan system was strong enough. If you blew out a candle it could barely suck in the smoke. Its only two of us living here and our showers are not longer than 3-4 minutes. Bottom Line = I could sit here and write a novel on about 10 more things and I am not the only one getting the crap end of the stick. They have 100 homes to build and you better believe they are in it for the money. DO YOUR HOMEWORK BEFORE YOU BUY ... I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND A DAYTONA HOME TO ANYONE.... EVER MSG ME BEFORE YOU BUY
