We were very pleased with our home from Terra View. We found the staff friendly, sincere and easy to work with. Terra View was very responsive and promptly addressed any issues or concerns we had. They made sure we were happy with the end result and felt the quality of the home was excellent. Their after care service has also been very good and they have responded to issues quickly.

National Awards for Housing Excellence 2023

Canadian Home Builders' Association

We could not be more impressed with the quality of our house. I can say that based on comparative reviews for both my natural gas bills and electric bills, this energy star home has resulted in significant savings. This is our 16th home that we have been involved with in the past 35 years and without a doubt, Terra View Homes is the best builder we have ever had the pleasure of dealing with. To the whole Terra view Team, thanks from the bottom of our hearts.

Outstanding accolades of a

quality homebuilder

Our experience with Terra View has been top notch and we couldn’t be more pleased! We’ve been impressed every step of the way in making our dream home a reality. It looks amazing. Their designer’s guidance with selections was spot on and we can see the quality of work and attention to detail from the construction crew.

2022 Most outstanding production home design

Under 40′ lot – The Avonlea

GDHBA

Not only did Terra View offer home plans that were well thought-out but visually attractive both inside and out. From double garages, second floor laundry rooms and large children’s bedrooms, to soaker tubs in the master bath and pantries in the kitchen, Terra View had home plans that had everything on our wish list. This is our third new home and by far Terra View’s fit and finish and customer service was the best – everyone we dealt with from start to finish was professional, knowledgeable and friendly.

What a wonderful experience building my home with Terra View Homes. The flexibility in customization of the home enabled me to design a living environment truly fitting of my lifestyle. The knowledge, efficiency and attention to detail provided in all aspects of the process was second to none, and as a result I have a stunning home that I look forward to enjoying for years. The team at Terra View is one that puts their homeowners first and one that you can trust.

The first thing that attracted us to a Terra View Home was the look of the neighbourhood. We loved the way it felt driving down the street as it felt more like a community rather than a group of houses. Beyond that was the opportunity to customize our home to fit our family needs. The expertise of the Terra View staff helped us walk through the steps from the beginning, to picking out colours, to the completion of our home. Throughout the selection and building process, we were kept informed, updated, and given the feeling that events were proceeding with our best interests in mind. Any questions or concerns we had were handled in an accurate and timely manner.

Diana & Chris

Years ago, we purchased our first home for Terra View. Our research told us that Terra View Homes was a company with a reputation for building quality homes. Their attention to detail, excellent sales team and numerous models to choose from, gave us confidence that we were purchasing a home from one of the best companies in the area.
