Do yourself a favour and avoid this builder. Buying a property is stressful enough, this builder just makes the experience worse. Not only did the sales team not inform us properly and had minimal knowledge of the properties they were selling, the problems only got worse when we moved in. The people working the service department dont respond and when they do, are rude and not helpful. I have doors that were installed that are scratched and look old, water being trapped behind tiles in the ensuite shower, a sliding door that looks used and is not working. Even my FRONT door was not installed

This is the third house that we have bought from a builder. The first two went fairly smoothly with minor issues that were addressed by the builders. The third house was a Pratt home. The experience has been awful. The Pratt service department works on the basis of ignore the homeowner complaints until they give up in frustration. They are excellent on this front. I hope that other potential homebuyers read this and take my advice. Do not buy from Pratt.

Service department is GARBAGE. No one responds ever, not by phone, not by email. I've been trying to contact the service department for over two months and I can't even get a single reply. Work that was suppose to be completed as part of our agreeement is still not done. My house closed in March 2020, it's almost 2022 and it's still not complete. I highly don't recommend this builder. I've been more than patient with them and it's just disappointing as they advertise that they're Barrie largest builder. What kind of builder doesn't respond? If you're reading and thinking of buying a house or condo

Lived in a brand new Pratt build in Barrie. The amount of deficiencies they ignored and the quality of the build were beyond poor craftsmanship. Crooked walls, crooked cabinets, lifted floor boards, garage door constantly broken and left open 24/7. Had a major mold issue in our storage locker where we had to throw out over $8000 worth of belongings, from art to furniture and everything in between, due to moisture issues and known ventilation problems. Getting in touch with the Pratt Service Team is a total nightmare. Complained numerous times and were promised compensation until Pratt changed their

My negative review is really about the quality of the home and it comes down to poor workmanship and quality control. We purchased our first home in the Bear Creak Ridge subdivision and have been living in the house for nearly 8 months now, after our closing was extended. Before purchasing I read the negative Google reviews and thought that my experience would be different. I was wrong. The overall sales experience was great as most of the reviews mention, but the most important part is the actual product/house. There were major problems with our home that we discovered when doing our walkthrough

Pratt Homes is a top notch builder in Barrie. From my first experience with Susan and Cynthia to my design appointment with Jess and the amazing help of Stephanie at Head Office to my PDI appointment with Ramona. Every single person was amazing to deal with and they really do go above and beyond to make you happy. The end result was a beautiful home that I am so proud and grateful to call my own.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making my home ownership dreams come true and for being so amazing throughout the entire process from beginning to end!! I will most definitely be recommending
