I am in love with my Heartland home. The design of it makes it very special. It has enough spaces to store everything and feel less crowded and enough windows to bring the sin in to warm up the heart. My experience with the staff their smile and the willing to help make this moment memorable and enjoyable.

The home is built very well, there were some issues on our 30 day but less issues on our 1 year. The whole process has been really good. Our interaction with Joy at point of sale was phenomenal, Lou and the service team have been great. I am a bit disappointed at the turn over in customer service, I think you went through 3 different people in the year. Overall we feel we received a quality product in a great neighbourhood (we love how its been designed). Tamarack has impressed us.

We really appreciate Tamarack's quality of workmanship and attention to details. We also appreciate all they have been able to accomplish during the COVID pandemic - which has provided challenges in supplies and services. Thankful we were able to get sod before the winter too! Customer service has been very attentive and responsive.

I enjoy my new home every time, whenever I walk into the, say a was away for few hours, I get a huge sense of comfort and relaxing the minute I walk into it. The floor plan on Oxford model is implacable and it’s open concept is one of a kind. The greatest feel of the house is largely contributed by well over $160,000.00 worth of upgrades I made on the house. The kitchen in my home is one of a kind and state of the art.

Tamarack staff was excellent in regards to warranty repairs. Merci Jean-Francois. He was also able to ensure third party contractors completed the work appropriately and following rules related to COVID 19 protocols. We had issues with the parging company who did not follow protocols and did not complete the work. This was eventually completed after a long delay.

I look forward to working with Tamarack again in the future. Some of our repair items are still outstanding, and I felt the timeline given for the repair items to be corrected is very far out. But I understand that with Covid, things are backlogged. Thank you again for a wonderful experience :)

Lots of things! My sales rep, Louise was exceptional! She made the whole process smooth in spite of the numerous bumps along the way. When I got into my home with my key on the first day, I was deeply touched by the gift basket left by Tamarack on my kitchen counter, made an already exciting day amazing! I love how the standard options in my home are not the cheapest stuff in the market, adds a bit of pizazz to my home! I'm also super glad closing day happened given the COVID situation, moving the closing date would have wreaked untold hardship on my family at that time. I may live in a tiny middle unit townhouse but I feel like the queen of this chelsea! Thanks Tamarack!

Generally, our experience has been great with Tamarack. I commend you on communication, although there have been glitches with trades not showing up a couple of times that were scheduled, and the system to keep track of work done needs improvement to avoid duplicated or multiple work orders for the same issue. Our biggest disappointment is with the lack of pride in the workmanship and finished product. We upgraded many materials but the application was botched or slapped together. Also, as seen in all homes, the nosing on top floor should have matched the upgraded light flooring we chose and not the upgraded hand rail we chose. That was a huge design miss. Overall, we happy with our « modified » Eton model.

Being delayed six months was certainly not a good experience and caused a lot of stress trying to find a rental and added expense! We can't really say if there was something in particular that we liked best as we have had a few problems since moving in. However, Tamarack has addressed most of them especially the latest problem encountered after some sewers on Cardinal Creek Drive were cleaned. We had a terrible odour in our basement and ensuite bathrooms. It took approximately two and a half months to alleviate this problem. After numerous visits to our home by Tamarack personnel and outside plumbers, the odour seems to have gone. Our thanks go out to ROB who would not give up trying to solve this mysterious problem. We don't know what we would have done without him. He is an excellent employee and will go beyond the call of duty! Thank you again ROB!

Also had a great experience with my 30 day and 1 year repair days with Guetin who was personable, organized and went above and beyond to ensure repairs were completed.

The customer service at Tamarack is much better than what I had expected compared to my impression of builders from previous homes. Sales and customer service staff are courteous and do make their best effort to address concerns and get back to you in a timely manner. Rebecca has been excellent and just the opposite of what I expected from previous builders who were generally difficult to reach and get things done.

The drywall jobs are terrible on the walls and ceiling. This is the 3rd home I buy brand new and the worst dry wall job I have seen so far. My 2 others homes from two different builders had much better quality in the drywall on the walls and ceiling.

A lot of my ceilings need to be repaired because you can see the tape and the bumps in the ceiling. This will get done however I will have to put up with 3 days of dust and moving all my furniture in order to get it done.

I am retouching a lot of the walls myself with putty and sanding as I am repainting the house with quality paint. Very discouraging to pay 400 thousand dollars and have to do repair jobs on walls. Don't have the time or patience to wait for the builder to to touch ups on wall so taking care of this myself.

The final touches of drywall on ceiling and walls should be done properly before a client moves in. Maybe a final inspectionj the day before you move in is a terrible idea. It does not give Tamarack any time to fix major stuff like ceiling drywall before customer moves in.

The lack of workmanship for the drywall as really left me with a terrible impression of Tamarack as a quality builder. I will not recommend them as a quality builder.

They were recommended to me and I had always heard they were a good quality builder. What might of been before is no longer. This builder should slow down on selling and concentrate more on final quality for the currents customers.

Though we have heard great things about Tamarack, we were deeply disappointed in the lack of service we received from them and Muskoka kitchens regarding the error made with our kitchen. We are understand little errors are always made with mass builders but this error cost of a significant amount of money and we felt the issue was completely disregarded and we, as clients, were completely uncared for. Though there are some representatives at Tamarack we love, the service we received when we pointed out this error was completely unacceptable and as a result, we will definitely not be recommending you to our family and friends any longer.

When we went to the frame inspection, walls were already closed which totally defeats the purpose. We were extremely disappointed. For the design centre, it would be nice to see what the house looks like with all our choices. A simple computer program does this and many other builders have it. Pictures of homes with various upgrades at the design centre would be helpful.

Home was fairly dirty upon delivery, sticky dark lines on the hardwood from where the construction tape was, and little pencil marks on the hardwood planks. Outside, the basement window well was used as a garbage dump for Tim hortons cups and wrappers. There were also white paint stains on the carpets throughout the house. It would have been nice to move into a clean house, but our overall experience with tamarack has been good

1) Landscaping and exterior finishing not responded to timely nor was the remedial work done in a workman like manner. Further damage was caused by trades in addressing our initial concerns and in some cases is still outstanding. Furthermore, the trades who did the exterior work often left the after conditions in an unsatisfactory state, e.g. remedial work done to correct poor installation of sod did not correct the original deficiency, oil on driveway, sand and other materials left uncleaned.
2) While the after-sales service representative responded timely, the response to our inquiries regarding when trades would be available to do work was [often] simply "no control over when trades would be available" as a standard response.

Make no mistake, we are very happy with our Tamarack home and view it's construction as generally of the highest quality. There are specific limited issues we have had concerns with.

Her team was a pleasure to work with. Morgan at design centre listened to my needs and was very responsive in working with me to make selections within the framework of my budget and my design goals. She was flexible, creative and always able to provide answers and suggestions to help me in my decision process. Sarah at Customer service has also demonstrated great care and responsiveness. I am very pleased with the overall workmanship and the quality of features in my house. I can say that I am happy to have chosen a Tamarack home. The buying experience was very positive and seamless.

More attention and remediation of items /issues prior to delivery (such as quality of trim paint, quality of trim install, cleanliness of basement, cleanliness of outside door/garage door, superficial damage & paint on tub, install deficiencies, paint on carpet etc) would have a positive impact.

Thank you for the opportunity to provide input.

Design center: catalogue has too many pages and not user friendly user. When making upgrades the catalogue should advise what other items require upgrading to accommodate the new changes. For example: when upgrading the granite sink no mention that the faucets require upgrading as well, we find out after the fact. This should be outlined in the catalogue instead of having to purchase items afterwards to fit the upgrade. Décor Consultant was excellent this has nothing to do with her. Its more about the catalogue information and lack of information the homeowner receives.

We found the sales office did not know accurate specification of home features. For example, we specifically inquired about the garage insulated. The office advised that insulation is included but to surprised it wasn't. Apparently this was an upgrade an not a standard.

Looking forward to the PDI survey, would like to receive the survey sooner then later.

That the person who is responsible to schedule PDI or 30 days inspections repairs is more assertive and on top of things when booking appointments.
Wasted a complete morning waiting for a trade person only to be notified, when I called, that it would have to be rescheduled, as there was a problem. The message to her was received during a meeting therefore never letting me know. A better way of communication needs to be in place when employees are in meetings and urgent emails come in so the customer doesn’t waste a half day waiting for nothing.

Do not ever let Gaetan go... he is the best of his kind. Appreciated him going above and beyond to make sure his customers are pleased with the work done after delivery. Thank you.

Double sinks in the J&J washroom. I would sacrifice bedroom space to make it fit in the washroom. I would also have a drain, vent and pump installed in the laundry room.

Much better customer service and communication with the warranty department after taking possession of our home. Attention to detail clearly lacked as an example, we had a water pipe leak in our ceiling as well as had water penetrate inside through an outside vent and customer service was lackluster after reporting these issues.
After being in our home for over 4 months now, we are still waiting for items from our PDI and 30 day to be repaired.
We did have high hopes for Tamarack Homes before we moved in, and now unfortunately we are left very disappointed after numerous issues since taking possession.
Hopefully someone does read this and will help improve for the future.

My biggest complaint about our home is the quality of the interior paint. When arranging furniture and wall art, it is very easy to scuff and discolor and is clear that there is not enough paint and/or the paint is of poor quality.

There were a few upgrades that my husband and I really wanted that were not added to the list at the final Design Centre appointment and unfortunately we did not catch them until our pdi inspection. The final
appointment was very long so by the end it was very tiring and as a result omisssions were made. That said, I believe another Design Centre appointment should be added so that home owners don’t feel rushed and to prevent and minimize errors and/or omissions. We also would have positioned a few items differently such as the window in the kitchen, the electrical outlet on the porch and one of the floor vents in our ensuite. Also, we thought medicine cabinets in the bathrooms were a standard feature but we only noticed that we did not get any when we had our pdi so that was another disappointing experience, especially since it is listed as a standard item on the sheet provided in the model home.

Having a schedule for repairs would be better. I had agreed to a repair on a scheduled day and no one showed up or called. While I appreciate that people are busy, I am as well and did not feel respected in the process. Some things like the oven vent blowing in the high wind and knowing that a $30 part would change this defect and not having it installed is disappointing.
Nonetheless, we are thrilled with our home. We feel that everyone we have dealt with have been courteous, professional and easy to work with. Our home is well built and beautiful so we do extend our sincere appreciation for all involved.

Maybe it was just bad luck but I did not enjoy the first part of my Design process. I was willing to get upgrades but was not sure what was possible (ex: bathroom sinks, types of tubs...). I did not see a book with pictures of available things other than fireplaces, doors. Also, seems like the options had double and almost changed completely in the design center from the time I had started to the end of the process. I had chosen many things just to learn weeks after that they were going to be discontinued.

Sales persons should know what they are talking about, and the decor center process should be more user-friendly.

Overall, I'm happy with my new home. BUT I think the communication from Tamarack could have been better, as well as the quality control of some materials and workmanship. Improvements can be made to cleaning, painting, quality of exterior brick and overall interior finishing of the walls. I have noticed the little things like small dents and dirty spots on the walls, corners not finished very well and that sort of thing. Minor stuff, but it gave me the feeling that many trades people just don't take the time to do their job well and the home is built as quickly as possible. It made me wonder what was going on inside the walls that I couldn't see.

I would like to understand how to get items under warranty fixed sooner than having to wait for the Tarion timeframes as some items can not wait.
There are some grading issues with my property which I would like to address Before winter as they may cause water pooling around my foundation.
Tamarack’s prices on certain upgrades are excessive on some items. Example: kitchen jobs at $17+ with Tamarack when I can order the exact same item (brand and model) for $5.
On the other hand, I am happy went back to some better quality items such as the Mirage wood floors.

The every single one of your staff are simply amazing! From the very first email to our latest appointment we felt at ease with the process and how knowledgeable every person was that we talked to. No improvements required in that department they exceeded our expectations.

The design centre was an amazing candy store of options. It was a bit overwhelming at first. As you have so many options, it would be nice to see all of the standard finishes together so that it is easy to see what they are. It would be especially helpful in the tile area if they were organized by upgrade level.

At the model homes we know you provide a great list of what is included as a standard and what is an upgraded feature as visual people if something in the model home like the stickers you use in the design centre to help identify that what we were seeing was or wasn't included for some of the finishing touches we would have found that helpful.

The experience we have been having overall is incredible we are so happy with our purchase of a Tamarack home.

The cabinets in the kitchen are not deep enough to accommodate normal diner plates. I would say they are below standard size. Also, it would have been nice if the Battery pack for the Fireplaces would have been put together instead of being place in the rack by the furnace. Other than that I am relatively please and happy with my home. As of today I am selling my home as my Daughter and I purchasing another Tamarack home ( St James) to be completed sometime next May. This would indicate the level of my satisfaction along with my daughter for the Tamarack constructed home. Needless to say the ladies at the Sales Centre at the Cardinal Creek Office are simply fantastic and very helpful.

The builder has a good reputation but we were quite disappointed with the quality of paint and drywall. The way they scheduled things, we have to cover and move all of our furniture every time thee was an appointment. I found the paint quality very poor and they drywall was OK at best. With the paint, we are probably going to repaint the house within the next two or three years.

There were some PDI items that we identified that have taken three months to have fixed, they sent the wrong trade to fix one of the items. They sent the wrong trade for the puck lights for the under cabinet lighting fixture. This was a very expensive upgrade and we expected it to have been fixed before we moved in.

Overall everything else was OK
By: Inderpreet

One thing I would recommend Tamarack is that the customer should be explained in details about the cost of an upgrade. Since the upgrades are very expensive, a clear explanation Ex: Rate/price per sq ft etc or whichever units are applicable to the Upgrade should be provided to the customer rather than just quoting a price which is like a shocker for the client. Overall Great experience. Would highly recommend to others.

We have had a major issue with insulation in our front door, back patio door and basement. I have been beyond pleased dealing with Carla Mason to have these issues resolved, considering the extremely cold weather. She has been professional and courteous, and was able to have someone look at the issue in a prompt manner, prior to having the rest of our 30 day items completed. We had someone come out today to fix the issues we had with the door, and we are grateful to Carla and the Tamarack contractors/staff!
We are very happy with Tamarack and have referred the company to friends of ours who will be closing on their new home in the summer. In our opinion, Tamarack are at the top of their game. We are the proud owners of our second Tamarack home and we will continue to buy Tamarack! :)

nothing...the team was very responsive with any issues we have had.
some items to ensure better build would be:
- tissue paper holders in the bathrooms don't hold majority of TP rolls; most people I have spoken with have identified this as their biggest issue
- hood range vent very noisey, builder should offer option of covered hood range vent.

If it wasnt for the cost to upgrade, we would have opted to not have any carpet in our home. However, we are satisfied with the carpet we chose. The location of the faucet to the soaker tub in the master onsuite makes it difficult to get in and out of the tub. The ceramic finish around the tub is wide and makes it difficult also to get in and out of the tub. All in all, we are happy with our home. Tks

We are extremely happy with the design and function of our Tamarack home (Quail). We had to have the stove oven installed in the left wall as we advised that it should not be installed over the infrared burners of the stove top. The location of the wall oven works well and this is a more convenient location for it.

I am very happy with the Tamarack team, and my home, but the only thing I would change would be the removal of the "plant stand" at the stair case.

The exterior look of the homes could use a little more colour (ie. contrast) and sprucing up. Some of the design elements could be modified to make the towns look a little more sophisticated. The outside of the homes doesn't match the excellent design inside.

I've been living in Barrhaven since 1990. My husband passed away in 2014, we were living in a 2 storey house in Barrhaven. It was difficult for him to get around. After he passed away, I looked for a bungalow but there was nothing that suited me. In 2016 Tamarack built bungalows, I was so happy that I bought one. I love everything about my bungalow, Tamarack built them according to seniors. I love the porch, I love the area. I love everything. l love the neighbours, we all get along and we all help each other. I just want to thank Tamarack for making my life very happy. I want to thank Mike, Carla, Debbie and Mike at the office for making my life easier. I love the area, I go for walks along the Jock River with my neighbour , its so relaxing. Thank you Tamarack.

I would look at different exterior doors. Doors were not installed properly ( back and front) and meant that water and air came into the house. I would also look at weather sound proofing could be put in washroom walls and walls facing a busy street.

The only thing would be to have a list within the model homes of what the upgrades are (not simply identifying that the - hardwood - is an upgrade, but which one was selected) or have it readily available at the design center. It would be nice to have that information if they are upgrades you'd like to select for your new home. But that's simply a would be nice. The staff were amazing, very knowledgeable, helpful and extremely pleasant to work with.

After we committed to buying the house, there was some dicfficulty gettng us into the Design Centre before we went back home. (NL) It seems to me that the Design Centre needs to have a greater and perhaps stream-lined process for out of towners. We are retired military so we have been through this process a number of times. We recognize there are people that take months to select their options but we have also done it in a few hours. We did get in before we left and then worked with our consutant through email and to date are very satisified but the idea of leaving and having to come back just to choose options was almost a show stopper for us.

I absolutely enjoyed both the sales and design centre processes. However, if I have to change one thing, i would say I'd like to have a bit more time with the designer at the design centre. I felt that both appointments with the designer weren't long enough. Given the size of our home, we had a huge list of selections and we had to make a couple of hasty choices towards the end of the appointments. We ended up having to follow up after the first appointment to make adjustments. The designer was very accommodating. However, this could have been avoided if we had just a bit more time with her initially. Overall, great experience. Thank you

I can't think of anything because I have been extremely satisfied. Your customer care representative, site supervisor, home inspector and repair professional were all very helpful and knowledgeable. Probably, if you can offer more choices in landscaping (during design center stage), such as - lawn vs Stones vs Interlock etc., that would be great. For example - I would have loved to save some money on grass / lawn in backyard and spent extra to get interlock. But these are minor issues. Overall, you shouldn't fix what is not broken!

I would make sure that workmanship is at a high standard because it reflects on the builder. Sometimes workers who are not as careful and try to make short cuts on the job. My home is a wonderful design. I am especially pleased it is equipped with A/C and HRV and extra vents throughout the house. The open concept on the second floor has a warm and welcoming feel to it. Also, the balcony is just perfect.

Thank you for building such a beautiful home.
