My wife and I have built four new homes throughout our lifetime and have always enjoyed the experience.

There is just something about building a new home. There is a lot of stress and unexpected problems in the process but you seem to be able to get through them with time. We did enjoy it but some people don’t. There are a lot of horror stories out there about building your own home. People do it to save money but in the end it cost them more.
Then you wonder if all your decisions were correct and if all building and safety standards were met? Of course you wonder what the finished product will look like. These questions and many more go through your mind on a daily basis when you build your own home. Then every little added expense that you expectantly run into is added to your bill.
When we first seen Lakeland Homes build sites we were always impressed with the curb appeal of their models. They were beautiful outside and stunningly beautiful inside. The inside of a Lakeland home speaks of elegance and quality. Interior design with stunning appointments make for an amazing home. . You have a sense of security and confidence with Lakeland because you know that you are getting a quality home that is designed and built right.
When we decided to buy a Lakeland Home we found the best part of our experience was dealing with the Lakeland team. Their staff were all professional and a joy to deal with. It was like you became a part of their family. They gave us their undivided attention and made sure that they understood our questions and concerns. We felt safe and confident that Lakeland Homes was on our side and that we made the right choice when we chose Lakeland Homes. Any minor repairs were quickly seen to and fixed properly. I can safely recommend them as a quality and competent builder that has been a pleasure to deal with.

Just moved into our new home and can't be happier!

Everything is perfect. Mike and his team (Mike, Nate and Fred and all his trades) have continued to impress us with their attention to detail and customer service. No text or request has gone unanswered. Wishing Lakeland many more years and homes of success! Thank you so much!

Lakeland homes are like family, building with Integrity, Quality and Commitment.

By chance we drove by a lot owned by lakeland homes and gave them a call. It started us on a journey to one of the best decisions we have ever made. Their quote came in and it was right on target. I went to pick out my my flooring and tile choices and got a instant call from mike saying that I had exceeded my allowance for the flooring and tile. I had a long conversation with Mike telling him that I was going over my initial budget and was comfortable doing that. It is so refreshing to have someone try and save YOU money. Not only are we living in our dream home but Mike and Andre are now great friends of ours. People are always surprised when I say that but its 100% true! I felt like I was having my family build my home for me and Mike was like a brother always watching out for us. We did everything on a hand shake and he honours that agreement every time. In todays world that kind of honesty and desire to be fair and forthright doesn't come along very often. It is obvious that Mike and Andre take pride in their work and genuinely enjoy building homes for their many satisfied clients.
I have built many homes over time and have never had the experience with a builder or crew that I have had with Lakeland homes. Lakeland is truly committed to building you a quality home. They believe in honesty and integrity above all else. I also know that they are committed to their customers one hundred percent. I can't recommend them enough. I tell everyone who is even thinking of building a home to choose Lakeland. If you are thinking of building a home they are the absolute best in the city hands down. I am happy to talk to anyone personally and tell them how fantastic they really are. In the end we have a brand new home worth over a million dollars and I would never have been able to do that without Lakeland homes.

My wife and I had the pleasure 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!

From the moment we walked through the Lakeland model home we were sold.

The house was beautiful and we loved the higher end finishes and the floor plan and felt that it was a great value for the money. The decision to build was made even easier after sitting down with Mike and Andre to discuss a plan. True to his promise during that very first meeting we received Mike's full attention and guidance throughout the entire project. As you can imagine, seeing this kind of project through from beginning to end can be overwhelming and stressful with so many decisions to be made and deadlines to be met. This was made to run very smoothly because we were given an organized plan with dates and contact names to help keep us on schedule as we chose the many finishes for our home from carpet to cabinets to paint colour and so on. Even the various vendors and trades that we worked with through Lakeland were professional and helpful. By far the most impressive thing for us was the quality of service we received from Mike himself. Whenever we had a question or concern, if there was a problem or a glitch as the build was taking place, if we sent a text or called Mike we were answered immediately and action was taken swiftly to ensure we were satisfied. It was this commitment and quality of service, not only throughout the build, but even now, that has made this process enjoyable and easy. Our home is absolutely beautiful and we love how everything turned out. We get compliments from everyone who walks through it. If we should ever decide to build again it would be a pleasure to work with Lakeland again...we wouldn't choose anyone else.

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.
