Building our home was a wonderful experience start to finish and we couldn't be happier! Cathy was so kind, patient, and helpful as we navigated the process. She took time to show us different lot options and guided us through making … More changes to ensure everything was just right.
Melinda was equally amazing! She made picking out all the finishes for our home fun and was so patient with us as we considered every detail.
During construction, we had the opportunity to see our home at different stages--framing, drywall, cabinetry, and it was so exciting to see everything come together.
Before closing, we met with the customer care team, who inspected the house top to bottom with us to make sure everything was perfect. Their attention to detail and care for our home gave us so much confidence in the quality of our new home.
If you're considering building a home, I can't recommend this team enough. They made the entire journey smooth, enjoyable, and unforgettable. Thank you so much for helping us create our dream home!

She also showed incredible patience … More with me and my numerous questions. McKenna was my incredible decor consultant. McKenna clearly loves her work as she guided me through the selection process. She was very knowledgeable as well, and she even offered to research alternatives for me. She made the whole process very enjoyable. Cathy met with me a few times at the house while it was being built, which I really appreciated as I was able to see the floor plan take shape.

I'm very happy about my purchase of my first Doug Tarry Homes in St.Thomas. Cathy, Michelle and the décor team at DTL were amazing. All my concerns were handled in a professional and within a timely manner. I actually started off looking … More at Hayhoe Homes. My biggest concern was when all my email and voice mail messages to Hayhoe went unanswered. My friend Mark Thompson had just closed on his house and brought me to see Cathy. Speaking with her made me feel welcome and left very informed with all the necessary paperwork to purchase my home. I have nothing but good things to say about this builder. I am still amazed and very excited to move in as soon as it is completed.

This month will mark our 2nd year in our brand-new Doug Tarry home and we couldn't be happier. Having relocated from the chaos of the GTA and enjoying the slower pace of St. Thomas - life has been great. From the moment we stepped … More into the model home to the day we received our keys and did a final walk through with the Customer Care team, everyone we have come into contact with on the DTL team has been terrific. A special thanks to Michele M (Sales Team), Debbie (Decor Team), David M & Maryanne (Customer Care) - your knowledge, patience, professionalism and ability to go above and beyond is appreciated. Doug Tarry is not only committed to providing best in class service to their customers, but they are also big supporters of countless local community initiatives, which in turn makes this a great place to live.

We recently built our home with Doug Tarry, and we couldn’t be happier with the entire experience.
From the very beginning, Cathy Fox, our sales consultant, was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was professional, patient, and genuinely … More cared about helping us make the right decisions. It was our first time building a home and we were so nervous as it is such a big milestone for us. There were so many choices and many times we often changed our minds. Cathy remained supportive and offered honest, thoughtful advice throughout.
The design phase with Debbie was also fantastic—she listened to what we wanted, gave great advice, and was upfront and honest about what would work best. We never felt rushed or pressured, and every step of the process felt well-organized and transparent.
What really stood out to us was the level of support we received even after the build was complete. Any small issues that came up were handled quickly and efficiently. The team didn’t hesitate to come out and take care of things right away, which gave us so much peace of mind.
Overall, we’re so grateful for the professionalism, honesty, and care we received from start to finish. We definitely recommend Doug Tarry to anyone looking to build their dream home! We are so happy and can't wait to make so many new memories together in our beautiful home.

If you’re looking to build a high quality and efficient home then look no further. Doug Tarry Homes has high standards in every aspect of their business from the way they develop a neighbourhood to the finishing touches on their homes. … More If you’re unsure of how it works stop into one of their model homes and talk with their sales team.
