I purchased a home with sterling back in May of this year and my possession date was October 5th. When I did my final walk through, I noticed a handful of issues that I brought up with the builder. (Pictures to follow).
- One was very noticeably, a wall in my master bedroom that was nowhere close to straight. Keep in mind, this wall had already been prepped, sanded, painted and the trim installed. How this was not noticed by the site supervisor responsible for this build beats me, but most likely were trying to brush it off and hope it wasn t noticed. Even after having the wall fixed , there s still a handful of issues with it. Oct 5 comes and I get my keys and as I start going through the rest of the house, there s definitely a handful of issues.
- The corners of a handful of the walls were done in a less than poor condition
- Lots of the corners of the drywall around the light switches are already bubbling up
- There was paint on some of my kitchen floor and even more of it in my main floor washroom
- I still have shims sticking out of the back on my kitchen cabinets as they weren t completely cut off, I had to do it myself
- I have a side entrance on my house, and a zero lot line on the other. On the side with my side entrance the ground was not even close to flat, in some spots there s almost a foot incline between the dirt in the middle of the walkway and the side of the house which made it even harder to be able to move stuff in through the side entrance
- I purchased a double garage with my house as they had a special because of covid although I wish I didn t. It s been almost a month after move in and I ve asked multiple times for an answer, and after numerous days where the weather is warm enough to pour concrete, still nothing has been started relating to my concrete pad/garage.
- They have a pile of dirt just chillin in my backyard which I ve asked multiple times to have removed since oct 5 if they aren t doing the garage, as it s my backyard and I d like to be able to park my vehicles there s seeing as how they aren t too keen on building a garage this year.
- Multiple issues with insulation in my basement. Gaps upwards of 3 of missing insulation on multiple spots on my walls, multiple sections where the insulation is barely touching the 2x6s
- Had Telus come to install internet on October 6 which was a headache as well. He was here for almost 3 hours trying to get the wires to run through the conduit but was unable to because the wires were all messed up
I would not purchase a home or recommend sterling to anybody I know, and judging from the long list of bad reviews, I m not the only one.
