Broadview Homes Winnipeg

I bought a house late 2021, The same issues and problems I have had since the day of possession. Every time, we try to get it fixed, we feel they dont want to anymore. In the starting we were told that these issue would be fixed but I see no results even after 1 and a half year. And I have one thing to say IF YOU ARE PLANNING TO BUY A HOUSE DONT DO IT FROM BROADVIEW! They are nice until they want their money but the after customer service is worse that anything. as I entered the house on day, 1 felt like it was a 50 year old house renovated.

In my honest experience, they did not properly insulate my basement to code - 9 years of issues with my new home build. I will never build a home with Qualico again. Seems like they just build them as quickly as they can and cut as many corners as possible to save money. When I inquired about the issues they deflected, and it may have been just to get passed the warranty period. Finally had the basement done correctly with proper insulation and haven't had an issue since - unfortunately it cost almost $5000 out of my own pocket. The contractor I hired was absolutely shocked with the lack of quality workmanship that I invested my life savings into. Hopefully others haven't had to go through what I have over the past 9 years. More to add, 8 months later... They reached out in order to address this Google review but the communication back and forth was like pulling teeth. I had to constantly email weeks later to find out where they were at in their process. Only to then find out, they've considered my matter closed, 8 months later. I will go ahead and post what my contractor found at my home in both his work assessment and photos. Here is what was said... "As you are aware upon removal of the vapor barrier and fibreglass insulation the vast majority of the foundation walls were found to be significantly frost coated, this was the source of the water troubles you had been experiencing. While it is common to experience some frost buildup, the amount found in your home was above what is typical. The source of this frost would be moisture travel from the warm and humid interior air working its way past the poly and fibreglass where it meets the concrete foundation which is below freezing temperature in the cold winter months. The humidity in the air then accumulates over the course of the winter in the form of frost as it makes contact with surfaces that are below freezing. The work we completed at the time included removal of all existing poly & fibreglass, as nearly every piece was wet and a number of them were also moldy. Mold found on the underside of the OSB sheathing, rim joists, and concrete walls was treated, the basement was re-insulated, and new vapor barrier was applied and sealed. It is also worth noting that a number of places were found to lack any insulation at all when the vapor barrier was removed, this should never be the case. The attached photos were taken once a good portion of the fibreglass and vapor barrier had already been removed, but the ones attached do show how there was no tuck tape, nor acoustical sealant applied anywhere in the basement (the only exception to this was where the sump pump line runs up and through the wall, which is also shown in the photo's attached). Seams in the poly, around electrical boxes, the electrical panel, etc. as well as where the poly meets the underside of the sheathing for the floor above was fastened with staples but no form of sealant was used, this results in increased airflow into the cold side of the basement insulation and contributes to frost/moisture build up and can eventually cause mold. All surfaces containing mold were treated. The joists, foundation walls, underside of sheathing all thoroughly defrosted and dried via the use of fans over the course of several days, and afterwards new insulation, vapor barrier, tuck tape at seams, and acoustical sealant between joists and underside of sheeting were applied. This will substantially reduce future airflow to the back side of the vapor barrier and insulation." Service: Home building
