My wife and I had the pleasure of building with Lakeland homes in 2012

We had an excellent experience with them, their entire team was very professional, accommodating and patient. We were impressed with their attention to detail and their willingness to work with us and our budget. As with any build we experienced a few minor issues which they resolved quickly and followed up to make sure we were happy with the work.

Choosing a builder for your new home can be a very difficult decision, and Lakeland Homes understands this.

Their commitment to us was demonstrated far before the execution of a contract, through the many weekends they spent showing us their houses, discussing various options and answering our questions at all times day and night. Process driven, the Lakeland team used innovative procedures to hold everyone accountable ensuring that our project was delivered on time, within budget and exceeded our quality expectations. The true Lakeland difference can be noticed now that the project is complete, the trades have gone home and we've moved in. Today their team is still as committed and responsive to our needs and questions as the day we signed on with them. If you are looking for a company that can provide a positive, predictable outcome and a journey you are sure to enjoy than look no further than Lakeland Homes, we're glad we did!

Our introduction to Lakeland Homes was by chance;

We attended an open house in LaSalle and met Andre Goulet, co-owner of Lakeland Homes. During our tour we immediately noticed the quality of work on their model home and we were convinced this was the builder for us.

From the first meeting with Andre and throughout our entire process from the changes to our design and layout to the accommodation of our special requests that made our new home unique, there was a commitment from Lakeland to make our dream home into a reality.

As a buyer of a custom home there is always apprehension, but the professionalism displayed by the Lakeland team made us at ease and comfortable even when issues arose. We felt taken care of!

During our last meeting with Mike McMahon and Mike Olar we knew we had made a good decision. Our friends and family compliment us on the finished product and as a bonus we now have a new friendship with the Lakeland Homes team.

It has been said that purchasing a new home will be among one of the most important decisions in ones life.

When having a new home built for you the need for trust and confidence in your builder and his trades is essential. As a Project Executive for one of the largest commercial contractors in Canada and a builder myself for the past 20 years, I understand this all to well. My wife and I have shared a wonderful experience working with Lakeland Homes and their second to none team of tradesmen over this past year building our new home in Lakeshore Township. It is my personal and professional opinion that positive relationships are what make projects successful in the end for all parties. Mike, Andre and their trades have successfully achieved this goal. The quality, service and price certainty has been delivered to us in our homes planning and successful completion.

Our journey started with Mike and Andre reviewing the plans for our home, then together developed the plan further to include increased living space within the home inclusive of the selection of finishes and specific design features. At each step of the process we found the Lakeland team were very respectful and attentive to our specific needs, suggestions, and inquiries extending their support and experience to assist us in finalizing decisions and expectations of the finished product. During the various stages of the building process, we were encouraged to work with the trades where we were witness to an exceptional level of quality workmanship, dedication, and respect for our vision from all.

In the end we moved into our home on time and on budget! From start to finish we have been very impressed with the continued attention and dedication to total customer satisfaction of Lakeland homes. It is always a pleasure when you can share in the pride of recommending good workmanship, trust and honesty of those that have done something for you that is a major part of your life's decisions. Both Ann and I find this easy to convey about Mike, his team and wonderful trades! Thank you for building our dream home.

Lakeland Homes left a lasting impression on us when building our dream home.

We can truly say they are a custom home builder that upholds their values and cares about their clients. In our opinion, they are distinguished by the characteristics of Trust, Commitment and Quality.

Trust - Anyone who considers building their dream home seeks out a builder they can trust. Building a home can be overwhelming with all the planning and decision-making required. Lakeland Homes established an excellent rapport with us from the onset, managed the project professionally and respected timelines which created a pleasant and less stressful experience. We can say with confidence that they are a trustworthy custom home builder that will make your vision a reality.

Commitment - Lakeland Homes was committed to us throughout the entire build and long after closing. They had constant communication with us and had key staff dedicated at each transition point which made for a seamless process. You can expect to customize plans with Andre at time of sales, to finesse details during construction directly with Mike the builder, to have direct access to the on-site foreman Nathan and support from the service manager Mike to follow through with any issues after closing. Lakeland Homes provided outstanding customer service whereby every team member was accessible at any time, responsive to any concern and saw it through to resolution.

Quality – Everyone who visits our home is astonished by the amount of detail. Our custom ranch is fully finished offering us 5000 sq. ft. of elegance. Guests are in awe of every room! There are numerous finishing touches throughout our home such as intricate ceilings, doorways and windows accented with transoms, custom trim and so on. The quality of our home is attributed to the excellent craftsmanship of all the trades working for Lakeland Homes. We are fortunate that Lakeland Homes was an option when we chose a builder. Out of every custom home builder in Windsor-Essex County, Lakeland Homes was the builder who offered us luxury living at an affordable price allowing us to make our dream a reality.
We wish Lakeland Homes continued success!

You will never forget the feeling the day you walk into your new home for the first time!

Those memories last for an eternity. For the last few months after taking possession of our home, I walk into my home everyday feeling that same feeling. I can't thank the team at Lakeland Homes enough for this stunning home they built my family and I. I approached Andre Goulet and Mike McMahon with a custom design concept. The final outcome was far beyond my expectations. Everyday I receive compliments on how beautiful, well finished and executed the layout of the home is. Lakeland Homes held our hand throughout the whole process and made sure we were 100% completely satisfied in every aspect of our new home build. Lakeland Homes is no longer just a home builder for us, but friends that we can trust.

It is with much pleasure that we write this letter. We would like to thank you personally for taking us through a very exciting journey as we built our “forever home”. Everything we desired in our new home was made a reality as we consulted with Andre and Mike from Lakeland Homes.

Deadlines were met and work was carried out according to schedule, and in a most professional way. The quality in our home reflects the character and workmanship of your employees and trades.

As we have settled into our new home, questions and small issues have come up, and your team has been right there for us. We have told everyone who has asked how pleased we are with our Lakeland Home, and will continue without hesitation to praise and recommend your company. Again, from our family to yours, Thank you! Respectfully,

The Salvati Family
