Customer Testimonials
Our relationship with Harmony Homes began back in 2017 when we built our first custom duplex. This was a first time experience for us going through the design and construction process, Harmony Homes made sure we were taken care of through each step. Being from out of province we were given frequent pictures and communication of the progress. In 2022 we started conversation with Harmony Homes to build out the second half of our lot, the process was longer and had a few more challenges but Harmony Homes was patient, supportive and encouraging all the way to completion. It has been many years of hard work to build out our infill lot In Kelowna, we feel fortunate to have worked with the amazing team at Harmony Homes. We are grateful for Rick and Jason and their support in helping us achieve ours goals in building out a beautiful property for our family. Lance and Allison Timoffee timobigfish2024-11-27 After evaluating several companies to work with to design and build our custom retirement home my wife and I selected Harmony Homes because of their scalable process that covers everything from design to completion, their excellent communication skills and their desire to make regular site visits to see firsthand how things are progressing. In a nutshell, Harmony can oversee every task needed for a home building project. Your level of involvement is up to you. After coming up with a concept design for our home, we worked with Harmony to modify the design as required to make the home perfect for us. Once construction started, Harmony made it easy to tweak things as the build progressed to make the end result even better. We were pleased that Harmony selects specific contractors and suppliers that they know will do an excellent job. Follow on contractors often complimented the work of previous contractors. This made a big difference in quality of the build. Our build, similar to most, required dealing with the City for permits and inspections, a wide variety of Contractors, a Geo Survey Engineer but also with our Strata that has their own set of requirements. Harmony Project Manager Gary Carpendale dealt professionally and in a timely manner with everyone involved across the build process and kept us updated, typically daily. The end result is that my wife and I now have a home that not only checks all of the boxes, and much more, on our retirement home wish list but exceeds our expectations and is also appreciated by family and friends. In a recent email from my wife to Gary, she summarized our feelings quite nicely - “Thank you again, for giving us such a lovely house. We wake up everyday with tremendous gratitude.” Barbara Durno2024-09-14 Harmony Homes helped us design our beautiful home which we enjoyed for many years. The professionalism and respect they showed us during the building process was wonderful. As a result of that building experience my husband decided he’d really like to work for this company, at the time he was a third year plumber , Mick Webb and Ray Squair took my husband under their wing and moved him along for a few years developing him into a construction supervisor,. My husband continued working for Harmony Homes through the transition of ownership to their sons Jason Webb and Rick Squair who stepped in to fill their fathers shoes and keep the family business going. They treated us like family and expected nothing but integrity and professionalism from their employees. My husband just retired after almost 30 years. Harmony Homes and its staff truly care about the home buyers and work very hard to ensure they receive the dream home they’re paying for. I would recommend this company to build your home. Kally Berlinger2024-08-24 When we experienced the devastating loss of our home in Killiney Beach, to the White Rock Lake Wildfire on 16th August 2021, we immediately started searching for a reputable construction company to help with our rebuild. We researched building contractors, found Harmony Homes and started a discussion with Gary Carpendale, who made time to listen to our requirements, made time to meet with us, came out to our building site, made suggestions and in general took time to guide us through this emotionally traumatizing loss. We were faced with a few insurance challenges, but Harmony Homes were very patient with the whole process. Once the insurance was approved we moved forward with the rebuild of our home. Harmony Homes have been an absolute pleasure to work with and we’ve had an extremely positive experience. We chose to rebuild the same footprint of the home we lost and we are very impressed with the general construction along with all the finishing touches which have been tastefully done. Gary Carpendale, went out of his way to make things seamless for us throughout the project, keeping us up to date on all necessary details. It has been easy to work with him and his crew. They have a professional team that have stayed in effective communication throughout. They have been spot on staying on budget and ahead of time. We certainly recommend Harmony Homes, Gary Carpendale and his crew! Andre and Ingrid Bester AJ Best2024-08-23 Working with and Harmony Homes and Gary Carpendale (Manager of Special Projects) was an extremely positive experience. We found the entire team to be very knowledgeable, professional and easy to work with. Frankly, we loved working with Gary. He always went out of his way to provide information, solve a problem or just provide a constant flow of information. Interestingly, building a house is so much about communication. We always felt Gary and Harmony Homes were just a phone call or an email away. Always helpful, always knowledgeable and most importantly very willing to keep us involved and informed. Building a home is a very large undertaking and we can not stress how important it is to work with a company that provides you with a specific contact to help wade through the process. Gary was always the "guy" who walked us through every step of the way with professionalism, and thoughtful interaction. Truly, he and his team gave us some excellent advice that made the end result even better. We love out house and often comment on what a beautiful home Harmony Homes built for us. Everything is of such high quality and built to an excellent standard. We would recommend Harmony Homes to anyone. It truly was a very positive experience and we ended up with an excellent finished product. We love our home! Thanks you, Gary and Harmony Homes. Maureen and Wayne. Maureen Palmer2024-07-05 We had the pleasure of working with Harmony Homes on the 2022 Lake Life Lottery grand prize dream home with proceeds benefitting both the KGH Foundation and YMCA of Southern Interior BC. The Harmony Homes team was professional and friendly, and always delivered results on-time and above expectation. They made a very generous gift to the project helping to advance health care across our community, and built a beautiful home that inspired many ticket sales as purchasers envisioned what life could look like in this incredible home. KGHFoundation2024-05-31 We recently worked with Harmony Homes from design to the building of 12 homes in Lake Country for our affordable housing program. We have always found the team to be very professional and accommodating of our build methodology processes which is unique to our organization. Rick and Jason have been very supportive and worked with us to lower costs so that we are able to achieve our goal. In addition, they have given back to the community with a financial donation to help us build more homes. I highly recommend Harmony Homes for their quality, attention to detail and customer service.
