They are a throwback to a time when an all encompassing knowledge of homebuilding was a must. **Comment from Generations Master Builder:** > great to get reviews like this even from suppliers I dealt with during my previous employement **★★★★★ — vipertek602, Nov. 2015** > Highly recommended. > Gold Seal Homes walked us through every step of custom home building in a professional, experienced, and organized manner. All areas of design and finishes were completely customizable. They were very accommodating to schedule meetings around our work hours and any minor issues were resolved promptly. > > With attention to detail, the house was built with quality materials and subcontractors. Gold Seal Homes upholds standards well above average building code specifications. We were always updated with the building progress and the house was even delivered early and on budget! **★★★★★ — angie\_schaab, Nov. 2015** > My husband and I had spent well over two years looking at buying a house with not much help. We were informed to contact Gold Seal Homes to inquire in a new build and if this was something within our price range. We met with Murray of Gold Seal Homes and instantly fell in love with his designs. From the first meeting right up to us receiving the keys we were treated with respect, received weekly updates and informed about any changes. Murray operates Gold Seal Homes in a very ethical and respectful way and has built amazing relationships with his clients, suppliers and the community. We love the craftsmanship, character and quality of our home and would choose to build with Murray again! **★★★★★ — Tarenliisa, Nov. 2015** > We built a custom home with goldseal homes and we couldn't be more pleased. Kept us involved at every step, great communication, and very few deficiencies found at turn over. Aforementioned deficiencies were taken care of promptly. I would recommend goldseal to anyone looking o build in the Carstairs area. **★★★★★ — diane\_mac88, Nov. 2015** > Gold Seal Homes has been a dream to deal with over the passed 8 years. I am one of their suppliers and Murray is more than fair with his deadlines as well as expectations. He is thorough as well as dedicated to keeping his customers as happy as possible. Among that he is also up to date with all new technologies and greener ways of doing things and is also very involved in the community as well as charity groups such as Habitat for Humanity! If I was to build a new home he would be one of my first choices to build it! **★★★★★ — CEILTRIM Inc., Dec. 2014** > We have worked with Murray at Gold Seal Master Builders for several years now with many if not all of his new home builds. > > Gold Seal was one of our first builders in Canada that "got it!" He saw how easy our arches and ceilings products were to work with, how quickly he had them on site after ordering and how cost effective they were. I think it's safe to say since day one with Gold Seal Master Builders they have been putting our products in every new project! > > Murray commented that there are no more "go-backs" for him with out of round arches or flat spots on curves with our products; he doesn't have to waste time and money sending a trade back to fix an arch because ours are perfect every time! > > Thanks Murray for your ongoing confidence in our product and service! ## Selected projects - [Phoenix Project](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/phoenix-project-pj-vj~5789780) - Location: Sarnia, ON - Photos: 8 - Description: All interior replaced as per current Ontario code. - [Perth 5](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/perth-5-pj-vj~2261244) - Location: Carstairs, AB - Photos: 7 - [Glengarry](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/glengarry-pj-vj~408851) - Location: Carstairs, AB - Photos: 6 - Description: This home was built to showcase the talents of Gold Seal Homes - [Adelaide 7](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/adelaide-7-pj-vj~2054459) - Location: Carstairs, AB - Photos: 8 - Description: This is a single car contemporary mid-sized home built for a family of 4-5. the second floor bedrooms are very large and bright. - [Auckland 5](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/auckland-5-pj-vj~1707186) - Location: Carstairs, AB - Photos: 7 - Description: 1420 square foot two storey home, featuring three large bedrooms, 2.5 baths, fireplace and 24' x 36' garage! - [Auckland 6](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/auckland-6-pj-vj~1827725) - Location: Carstairs, AB - Photos: 7 - [Paisely Custom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/paisely-custom-pj-vj~1396421) - Location: Carstairs, AB - Photos: 7 - Description: Bilevel plan with bonus room that houses the master suite/Ensuite/Two walkins and an office - [Custom Bungalow](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/custom-bungalow-pj-vj~408869) - Location: Carstairs, AB - Photos: 11 - Description: Spacious bungalow, custom designed for the client. - [Custom LEED Two Storey](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/custom-leed-two-storey-pj-vj~2539209) - Location: Carstairs, Alberta - Photos: 11 - [Jasper](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/jasper-pj-vj~6967515) - Location: Camlachie, Ontario - Photos: 21 - Description: 2500+ sw ft 4 bed/2.5 bath luxury home.
