I am still in my Senator Home purchased in 1996. It was the first project Senator did in Burlington, in the golf community of Millcroft. I was lucky to have a great sale gal and was able to negotiate many upgrades without extra cost.
Many of my neighbours did have leaking ceilings and floors, likely I did not.
The only problems I had with them are as follows:
1) The cabinets in the kitchen and bathrooms were done by Canac Kitchens which is fortunately now out of business. I paid an extra $1,000.00 for a six foot pantry in my Kitchen and an extra $500.00 to have three drawers in my ensuite bathroom instead of the traditional two door cabinets. I have had terrible discolouration with all these cupboards and not uniformly... the pantry has two sections much whiter than the other. The kitchen cupboards too have some door yellow, some white. Also, while I have a relatively large kitchen I have smaller than usual drawers for utensils etc.
Also Canac did a poor job of planning the drawers and so instead of putting new faces on these cabinets I have to remove everything and start over from scratch.
2) I was told the grading of the street would prohibit a two car garage and was forced to go with a single. Once the house was finished it was very clearly the grading would have easily accommodated a two car garage.
Overall I am still very happy with my home and am more impressed with it's huge increase in sales value. While I still love my home I would have tremendous reservations recommending Senator to anyone else.
