βI treat every home the same wayβlike I was building it for my own family. Clients are often surprised to see me on site, in my work boots, but itβs the same hands-on approach I learned from my father.β
β Pierre Garand
β I have now purchased my 2nd Garand Home. I was so pleased with my semi-detached home that when I decided to move to a larger single home I was set on buying another Garand Home. I looked at other builders but found the attention to detail and quality of workmanship just was not there with the other builders. A Garand home comes with upgraded features that would have cost me thousands with other builders. They also allowed me to personalize my home to suite my needs. Not only it is a quality home but both Pierre and Mary Garand were so pleasant to deal with that the whole experience was stress free.β
β I have had the pleasure of being a supplier of lumber and building materials to Garand Custom Homes for more than 30 years. While some of the employee faces, the home designs, and the building products have changed in that time, I can honestly say that Garand's commitment to quality and their family values have remained the same.
Garand's attention to detail is evident in all dealings we have with them. From being well-prepared with their orders, to efficient handling of material on their sites, to paying their bills, I find Garand Custom Homes to be an extremely organized home builder.β
β We purchased a starter home from Garand five years ago and were extremely satisfied with the craftsmanship. When the opportunity arose to purchase a single family home from Garand, the choice was clear, we could not think of another builder in the city that we would have wanted to build our dream home.
Garand Custom Homes is a quality choice and we are very grateful to Pierre for building us two wonderful homes.β
β We had a wonderful experience buying a Garand home. In fact, when our family expanded and we wanted more space, we bought from Garand a second time!
In our experience, the quality of the construction, floorplans, finishes and personal service were outstanding. We appreciated the details such as site-finished hardwood floors, 9-foot ceilings and rounded corners throughout. Items that would have been upgrades with other new home builders are standard finishes in a Garand home. Having bought from another new home builder in the past, we can attest to the superiority of Garand's product and service, from pre-purchase discussions through to delivery and after-sales service.
Pierre and Mary are great to work with and had lots of sound advice to share.β
β Having over 30 years experience as a realtor in the Ottawa and Alta Vista area I have become vert familiar with Garand Custom Homes. Also having grown up in Alta Vista in a Garand Home myself I have personal experience with the functionality and family-friendly style of construction. My father had our custom Garand home built in 1967. My mother got into the Real Estate business in 1970 and always took great pride in selling a Garand home. Garand Custom Homes are well-built with a very high standard for quality and stylish finishings. My family and I live in a Garand-built home just one block away from where i grew up. For more than three decades i have had the pleasure of selling a lot of re-sale Garand Custom Homes in my area and always tend to get a preimium price because of the quality of construction - even 30 years after the home was built!β
