McKee Homes Ltd. - Airdrie, Alberta

We recently built a very large fully custom home on an acreage with McKee. This is our dream home and we needed it to be perfect. We looked at a lot of custom builders and ended up choosing McKee for their professionalism and experience. We're SO glad that we did!

Prior to hiring McKee, we had gotten a drafting company to try to design our home. We spent many thousands of dollars and many months trying to get a design together. We had very specific requirements and wanted a mid-century style. Working with the drafting company was extremely frustrating, expensive, and never did work out with a buildable set of plans. We had to start fresh with a new design.

We had built a custom home with McKee in 2008 and had found Grace's design skills to be terrific so we went back to Grace and asked her to design this new house too. Her very first set of drawings were pretty much exactly what we wanted! She listened, understood, and drew it up perfectly - it was like she could see inside my head but better than I could have done it! She has a unique sense of what's functional but also beautiful. She completely understood the mid-century aesthetic and did a bunch of research on special details to include in our home. She also told us about what she viewed as 'must haves' in a high end home and what we may be able to skip to save on the cost. Her guidance was absolutely amazing and I guarantee we wouldn't have gotten such a spectacular home without her input.

The building process was long but that's normal in this type of project. McKee's communication was fantastic throughout and they were on top of the trades to ensure quality work at every turn. We did have some issues once we moved in, which is understandable in a custom home like this which presents a lot of unique challenges in building. As much as it's very frustrating dealing with trades coming into our home to fix things, I have to commend McKee on making sure that everything has been properly fixed and that the trades all complete their work to a very high standard. They never made us feel bad about being picky - they understood that this is a once-in-a-lifetime house for us and supported us in that the whole way.

It's a very stressful thing to entrust a builder with this sort of project - it's a huge financial outlay and the stress to get it perfect is intense. McKee gave us peace of mind and I'd recommend them to anyone looking to build a high end custom home. Thanks to everyone at McKee who has helped us so much (Thanks especially to Grace, Mike, Tiffany, Elaine, Clark, and Andy)!

We are beyond happy with our experience with McKee Homes! From the very beginning, they’ve been nothing but professional, responsive, and committed to making sure we love our home. While we did have an unexpected issue early on due to a subcontractor’s mistake that caused a leak, McKee didn’t hesitate,
they took full responsibility and fixed it right away, going the extra mile to make things right. That kind of integrity is rare and so appreciated.

I also want to give a huge shoutout to Neil from the Warranty Department. His professionalism, promptness, and genuine care for our satisfaction have been outstanding. Neil truly goes above and beyond, and in our opinion, he absolutely deserves a generous pay raise for the amazing job he’s done!

Thank you, McKee Homes, for turning our house into a home. Highly recommended!

Spoke to Amanda a few times, she is efficient, professional and very helpful.
Then, had a talk with Trisha. She got back to me in a timely manner, again was very professional and understanding of my situation. She dispatched Clark the next day to my house. Clark is so knowledgeable and ready to help and explain, made me feel so comfortable and confidant with the issue we had.
We were always happy with our house (bought in 2016) and after so many years had to call McKee for a question. All three of the above mentioned people , only reinforced my trust in McKee as a builder.
My next house will be only with McKee!

Double check the cabinet doors - McKee will install unsealed cabinet doors that can't withstand the humidity and cleaning of a kitchen, bathroom or laundry room. In less than a year the cabinet finish will bubble due to moisture ingress - see attached photos. Any complaint to McKee results in McKee confirming its preference of "cost effective" materials over reliable materials and McKee will do nothing to rectify these abhorrent and low performing cabinet doors.

The new home we just purchased from the people of McKee Homes exceeded our expectations. Leo in sales, Ashley in planning kicking off the full basement development we tossed in last minute, the home orientation guys who taught us how our home operates, and the site supervisor the McKee dedication and professionalism just hits different.

A specific mention to site supervision, whose role is incredibly challenging, we are always asking for just a little bit more or one more thing and he has been patient. His expertise and commitment to quality is evident in everything he does, and it was clear that he has embraced the culture McKee has created and goes above and beyond to ensure everything is perfect to meet or exceed the standards the McKee family expects for their customers.

Everybody we spoke with during this process from realtors, mortgage specialists, and lawyer say they are all happy with their own McKee built homes. The communication from McKee has been clear and consistent, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. A breath of fresh air in an over stressed home building market.

Thank you, McKee for making this an outstanding experience!!

We are just wrapping up our 13 month inspection and touch ups etc. Was the building experience perfect, flawless, no issues? Absolutely not as nothing is...... At the end of the day, we had some issues (nothing crazy) and what made me decide to write this 5 star review is the ownership that Elaine takes and stands behind the McKee name. This is why they have been in business for 35 years and are Airdrie's builder. Our house is beautiful and we love it, our neighbourhood and community. We aren't moving for 20+ years (that is the plan anyways), but we would build with McKee again for sure!

Everything you see in a MCKEE showhome is an upgrade including going from a regular bathtub in your master ensuite to a shower! $6k
Workmanship is the same as any other builder.

McKee Homes has been awesome! We have been in our home for over a year now and are still so happy with it as we were when we moved it. Their customer service is great! They really stand by their work and houses and make every effort to ensure things are done right. They build great quality houses. We've been talking with Rhonda and Andy on a few things and they have been absolutely wonderful. Very efficient and professional to deal with.
