Impartial review from an entry level buyer who went with the competition, but whose closest friend owns a Doug Tarry semidetached from 2020 in Miller's Pond. 5 star review is out of respect for the business rather than details.PROS1. Quiet and seemingly high quality Dettson or Lennox HVAC system.2. Thoughtful layouts that do a decent job with noise isolation from shared walls, be it staggered master bedrooms when possible in their new townhouses or extra insulation in the basement.3. 200 AMP panel or close to it standard.4. Great value overall.CONS1. For a supposedly air sealed house there have been a lot of gaps that were found and sealed near the foundation where ants were getting in.2. Flooring installed haphazardly near kitchen island over a power cable that caused a raised ridge bump in the flooring. Some other odd looking gaps in drywall from day 1.3. All of the interior light bulbs died at the same time 3 years in. Must have been a bad batch.4. Inadequate ventilation in the bathroom through the circular exhaust vent and fan.5. Proprietary thermostat that is required for variable speed HVAC, Doug Tarry makes money on repairs on this through his other business Abode.6. Side windows could be better staggered with neighbour's windows. It's a shame the blinds need to be closed for privacy in a fully planned part of the neighbourhood.7. I don't like some of the roof designs with front false facades from a repair standpoint.Bottom line is whatever builder you go with, nothing will be perfect and if you see issues that are easily fixed, point them out while you can. But Doug Tarry provides good value in an energy efficient package.

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. If you’re unsure of how it works stop into one of their model homes and talk with their sales team. They will take the best care of your needs to make sure your dreams come to life and simplify the process so you understand every step along the way. I have done many deals with Cathy in Eagle Ridge and I’m always excited to refer my clients to work with Cathy because of her high standards for customer service, communication and her professionalism.

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 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!

Doug Tarry and their entire team is just amazing. Cathy Fox was so patient and kind with us during the initial process. She is a gem and we are so grateful to have gotten to work with her. Sam in the Decor studio has also been incredible to deal with and she is also very supportive and patient with us as we go back and forth to make the best decisions. You guys rock! House # 2 in 3 years! I’d recommend DT any day. Thanks again guys!Ryan & Nicole
