a message from OUR PRESIDENT

Welcome to the neighbourhood! Thank you for considering Doug Tarry Homes as you move through your home buying journey. Whether you are new to St. Thomas or considering a move within town, our team is happy to share with you information about our great city, and help you get oriented with the neighborhoods within this beautiful community.

We know choosing the right builder to build a home for you and your family is an important milestone. Homeowner comfort and healthy indoor air quality are priorities for Doug Tarry Homes as we want to provide an optimal living environment for families that live in our homes. During the design and planning of each home, we pay careful attention to the details, construction techniques, materials and equipment chosen. We also prioritize durability, providing a home that exceeds standard code-building measures and protects your investment. We ensure your home is constructed to be airtight, weather-resistant and protected from environmental impacts like heavy rain and winds.

The components of our homes that make them comfortable and provide healthy indoor air quality also have the added benefit of being considerably more energy efficient than standard code-built homes today. This is why we have chosen to build all Doug Tarry Homes to the industry leading CHBA Net Zero Ready specification. We are pleased that this decision has put us as the leading builder in Canada to have built the greatest number of CHBA Net Zero Ready homes to date.

We believe it is our responsibility to do what we can to reduce our environmental impact, and the decision to take this bold step was simply the right thing to do for the environment and for our clients. The legacy passed down from Doug Tarry Sr. to his children and employees is to always leave our campsite better than we found it. We have taken this mantra to heart. Our team takes great pride in putting care and attention into well thoughtout designs and craftsmanship of each home we build.

We are proud of the homes and neighbourhoods we build, and we strive to create lasting value for our home buyers and community members. Take comfort in knowing that should you choose us as your builder, your home will be built with thoughtful attention to detail and product selection, professional craftsmanship, and our own quality control program. Our clients have told us their investment in a Doug Tarry Home has provided them with many years of comfort and enjoyment, and we wish the same for you and your family.

We are thrilled and appreciate that you are considering Doug Tarry Homes during your decision-making process. Again, thank you, and please let us know of any questions you have and how we can help you along this journey.

Sincerely,

about

ST. THOMAS

St. Thomas is located in the heart of Southwestern Ontario in beautiful Elgin County. Surrounding the city are numerous picturesque towns, lakeside villages and historic hamlets, each with their own unique charm. We’re a quick hop from London, Ontario and the shores of Lake Erie.

With a railway history, one of the province’s leading farmers’ markets and beautiful scenic parks, St. Thomas has something to offer just about everyone.

And no city is more strategically located; just moments from the 401 corridor and halfway between Detroit and the shores of Lake Huron to the west, Toronto, Niagara Falls and Buffalo to the east. Each is just a little more than a two hour drive away.

solar now TO SAVE

Why Solar? Solar panels are a clean source of energy generated right on the roof of your home. During the sunny summer months, your panels typically generate the most energy. First your home’s needs are met, and any excess energy generated over and above what is needed is sent back to the grid through a bi-directional meter and added as a credit to your account. During the cloudy winter months when the panels generate less energy, your home will typically draw from the credit balance in your account, providing lower electricity bills year around.

Depending on the size of your solar array and your energy needs, your solar system could generate as much energy as your home needs over the course of a year. This means your electricity bills could be very low, and possibly only the minimum connection fee. As the credit per kilowatt received is the same value as the cost per kilowatt you pay for electricity, the kilowatts you generate and use you are protected from future electricity price increases.

Weather Tight Guaranteed! Special integrated brackets and careful integration of panels & flashing details on each component of your solar array, keeps your roof weather tight and enhances the life of your shingles beneath the panels, protecting them from damaging sun exposure.
