Our Review

Editor's Rating
Editorial ReviewGuildcrest is a good provider of modular homes. They are built to specification that are higher than some others modular builder and also provide for upgrades and customization. As much as we enjoy their quality and good reputation amongst builders we did notice one problem. Most of their standard floorplans are for less than 2000 square feet. We would like to see larger modular homes from them. Especially since their quality is good for any mid-range. We are not sure how many home buyers will want a home with less than 2000 square feet regardless of how well it is built and how good its energy efficiency is.

Personal Reviews of Guildcrest Homes

McCarthy, D. & V. from Westport Ontario
Our home was built in 2002 and we couldn't be happier. We had a total house fire in February and the Guildcrest team had us in our new home in June. If we built again it will be Guildcrest and sales Agent, Jurgen Volrath. We have have recommended Guildcrest to two other families and they are equally satisfied. As with all new homes we had a few concerns but all were taken care of efficiently. We will be taking a future Guildcrest customer to Moorewood in the next couple of weeks.

dave jones from richmond ont
I bought a house from these clowns 4 years ago.I had so many problems I do not know where to start.The salesman was vary pushy and rushed us though the whole sale(should have been first clue).The day the house came there were lots of unfinished areas .They had to replace flooring,toilets,doors in the kitchen and this house must have 200-300 nail pops.When I asked asked about the nail pops I was told that the would fix 50.this house is also only 4 years old and I will be replacing the roof as the shigles blow off in the wind. I would not recommend this company ever.

David Bunnell from Bracebridge, Ontario
We have had many issues with this company. The drywall is our main complaint. We have just put pine V-joint on the ceilings, and the drywall is so crooked, that when the trim was put on, it just ruined the whole look of our ceiling. There were many things left undone also on the final list. We asked many times for the items to be completed, and finally we gave up trying. Overall, we are not happy with the quality at all, and would not recommend these homes.
