Southwestern Ontario: Claysam Homes and Mike Holmes

Quality. Integrity. Trust. Just as nationally known and respected contractor Mike Holmes stands for these qualities, so does Claysam Homes which has now been appointed a Holmes-approved builder by Holmes himself.

Says Holmes, “I’ve been a contractor for over 30 years and I know what can go wrong when a home isn’t built right. That’s why I’ve teamed up with industry-leading builders – builders who understand why I build to my standards. Together, we are going above industry standards and building homes that don’t just look good, they are good – these are homes built for your future.”

Those at Claysam Homes were excited to be part of this new partnership. Says Sam Scicluna, CEO and founder of Claysam Homes, “We have always been confident in the product and service we provide our customers, but it was reassuring to know that someone like Mike Holmes who stands for quality materials and craftsmanship wanted to stand behind our product. We were chosen by Mike out of the many other builders in our area as a company he wanted to support; one who does it right the first time.”

The Holmes Approved Homes Program will soon be a standard feature of Claysam-built conventional homes in Neighbourhoods of Devonshire Woodstock, Plattsville Estates and Elmira Country Club Estates. “Our homes will undergo a series of Holmes inspections providing our homeowners with transparent proof that their home has been built to be safer, stronger and more durable thanks to superior construction practices and a strict adherence to proper code. They can have peace of mind knowing their future home has been built to last and is a smart investment,” says Scicluna.

Homebuyers can expect better inspections using the latest technology, the best construction techniques and practices, and a better, safer and more durable home. Each home receives three inspections through the building process along with a summary binder, thermal imaging scan and photo documentation. There are also four- and six-stage inspection packages available. All inspections are completed by an approved Mike Holmes inspector during key stages of construction.

Claysam shares the Holmes belief that things you don’t see in a home are more important than the things you do, and addressing these critical details today protects your investment, saving you time, trouble and money tomorrow. Holmes Approved Homes are built to be healthier homes that protect your family by creating cleaner and safer indoor living environments
built with safer products offering better mould and moisture-resistance, fire resistance and higher indoor air quality.

Says Holmes, “The Holmes Approved Homes Program is about integrating the right building products with the right technology, using the right building practices to build you a home that goes beyond residential standards, from construction to final inspection.”

With almost 30 years of home building in the tri-city area and more than 100 proven residential designs, Claysam Homes offers the latest design innovations and open-concept plans in a variety of elevations. Claysam encourages insight from the purchaser in order to craft a home that is a true reflection of each family’s lifestyle while always boasting superior workmanship.

Claysam’s history and the Holmes Approved Homes Program have one clear result: increased peace of mind for homebuyers at all stages of creation of their new home.
