Primont Homes: A family’s history of fine home building

“Build every home as if it’s your very own.” That’s the simple, unwavering philosophy adhered to by the family that guides Primont Homes. Primont President Joe Montesano, his sister Lore and her husband Charles Attardo are the principals who carry on a home building legacy launched generations ago. It wouldn’t be a stretch to say that home building is in their DNA. It certainly reveals itself in the company’s fastidious attention to detail in design, craftsmanship and customer care.

The Montesano family originally made a name for itself as builders of homes in the hills of Europe. That tradition continued once the Montesanos had settled in Canada, more than 50 years ago, when Joe’s and Lore’s father, John, a bricklayer, founded Primont Homes.

As you’d expect in a family-run business, every aspect of home building is taken personally. Quality matters. Relationships with customers are always warm and considerate. You’ll soon notice how every imaginable detail counts. And how every member of the team proudly considers themselves accountable to every customer’s satisfaction. This is crucial when choosing a home, as the product and the process are such personal, emotional entities and experiences. The company consistently acts on the understanding that your home is your retreat from the outside world, the centre of your family life and the place where your most cherished memories will often be inspired.

So, when you buy a Primont Home, you can be assured that the entire building process will benefit from the care and attention the Montesano family would put into building their own homes. In fact, many happy customers even report that many of the features and finishes that come standard on a Primont home would be considered additional upgrades with other builders. Clearly, when dedicated people take such time and effort to know and understand you, they’ll do as much as they can to ensure your happiness.

But building homes is more than creating places for families to live. On a wider scale, it’s building an extended family. A community. Of course, when communities are thoughtfully planned, and created around the dreams and the real needs of residents, they flourish by attracting a healthy range of services and businesses.

Primont is recognized for more than 50 years crafting communities. In recent years, the company has established and built several dynamic and outstanding new communities of more than 3,000 homes in the GTA, including: NewTowns at Mount Pleasant, townhomes close to the greenbelt, the GO station and Brampton Transit; Centretown, freehold townhomes, a short walk from Brampton’s popular Mount Pleasant Village; and Coronation, stunning 30-ft. single-family brick homes in the heart of Vaughan.

The Montesano family is also eager to introduce upcoming communities that will soon be under construction, such as: Seasons in Caledon, a family community on tree-lined streets, close to nature preserves and modern amenities; 16-Mile Creek, a new community of towns and detached homes in Milton, close to conservation parks; and Uptowns on Bayview, upscale urban townhomes on a scenic, tranquil crescent; Jade Garden, modern townhomes in Cornell, Markham; SXSW urban towns in South Vaughan.

When building and creating are so deeply ingrained in one’s nature, it should come as no surprise to learn that Primont is enthusiastically active in the support of charities and community organizations. You’ll find their concern has touched such organizations as SickKids, The Starlight Children’s Foundation, Habitat for Humanity, Yellow Brick House, Mackenzie Health, The Terry Fix Foundation and Markham Stouffville Hospital. It might be said that dealing at any time with the devoted people at Primont, everything feels like home.
