Another strength, Dennis restates, is their standard of quality. Again, he credits that to their background as a luxury homebuilder and the relationships they cultivated with subcontractors at that time. “We’re used to doing highend homes,” he says. “Our contractors are used to doing high-end homes. We’re used to a certain standard of work. We might take a little bit longer to build than others, we might have to pay a little bit more, but it’s worth it because our products sell for higher and our customers are happier.” Some of Leone Homes’ relationships with contractors go back 12 years, to the very beginning of the company’s life. Other relationships are more recent, because the company has grown a lot over the years and had to expand their team, but Dennis says that every single partner shares the company’s values and understands their commitment to quality. “We vet our partners pretty thoroughly,” Dennis says. “We’ll give them test runs, and if they don’t pass the test we don’t work with them again. They have to be reliable. They have to show up when they say they’re going to show up. They have to do really good work.” Fortunately, Dennis reiterates, Leone Homes has developed relationships with a strong roster of subcontractors and suppliers who tick those boxes. He says that Leone Homes could not have come so far without those partners THE CONSTRUCTION SOURCE CANADA
