Why Cresco

Cresco is renowned for its innovative building practices and intelligent design.

Craftsmanship

 

Cresco finishes all homes to the same level of quality. For us, quality is one of the key elements to a home. This attention to detail has resulted in many repeat customers.

Design

 

As a lead builder in The Parks of West Bedford, our signature craftsmanship and award winning designs have become synonymous with Halifax’s trendiest suburban neighbourhoods.

Technology

 

Every Cresco home is also TechReady, meaning it is wired for both current and future technologies. Find out what makes our homes TechReady.

Efficiency

 

On average, 20% more energy efficient than a home built to code.

Our customers say we’re #1 for service.

 

There’s a reason why Cresco has received numerous awards recognizing our high customer satisfaction. At Cresco, we’re ready to repair deficiencies for your year-end builders’ warranty and to answer any questions. Our designated Customer Experience Coordinator is just a phone call away. 

At Cresco, we’re always listening. We take the time to gather feedback from our previous and current customers to help create new home designs that fit homebuyers’ current needs and desires.
