Our home has almost 6000 square feet of roof so the replacement of the old cedar shakes was a daunting and expensive venture for us, so we wanted to do it right. We spent months of research on roofing products and interviewed many vendors and in the end, we went with, not the cheapest, but what we felt would be the best for us and that was with a seamless Metal roof from Smart Home. The installation was an adventure to say the least. With the shortage of skilled workers hitting at the time we were to get the installation, the project took much longer than was anticipated and by the time it was done, Max – the main labourer, felt like family. We knew he cared about his work and made sure that the work he and others did was well done. Joe Bader was a pleasure to deal with throughout. There was no issue that arose that we were not able to resolve with him and feel good about it. Joe always made us feel that we were important to him and his reputation and his sense of humor was appreciated. Our goal was to get a good roof properly installed, and we got that for sure. So far it has survived the winter and we love the way the snow sheds off the roof. The choice of metal (aged copper) goes perfectly with the acreage setting we live on and has updated our 40 year old house to an eye pleaser. We get compliments galore and know that it has increased the value of our house far beyond what we paid. We, without hesitation, have and will continue to recommend Joe Bader and Smart Home.

In the summer of 2014 was approached by one of Joe’s sales reps about a metal roof for my house. Great timing on his part as I had just finished inspecting my ashphalt shingles and would need a new roof in the next year or two. I was always interested in a metal roof an when my wife liked the look of Joe’s product it was a done deal. Joe’s crew were great when they showed up for work later in the fall. They did a great job , they know their craft well and they always looked after our house ,as we had some adverse weather during this project and there was no issues. All in all this was a good experience and have no problems with recommending Joe’s group to friends and neighbours. The house and garage look great. Thanks Joe

Dear Joe, I likely should have done this some months back, but I’ve been out of town most of the summer. Bev and I really like the roof, as do many of our neighbours. It is aesthetically pleasing and very quiet during summer storms. Looking forward to winter to see how it reacts to snow-load. I wanted to extend a thank you to you and your crew for working during the long weekend to get the roof up while we were home. The dogs would have been very unhappy with the noise if we hadn’t been home, and we appreciate the sacrifice your crew made to work the long weekend to meet our request. They worked late into the night as well to meet the deadline. They were very professional, and left no problem (and there weren’t many) unsatisfied. I was very impressed with how they took the old roof off along the scaffolding to the street where they dropped it directly into the truck bed. All in all we were very happy with the result as well as the experience and would highly recommend you and your team to any prospective customers.

Just wanted to make a quick comment on my great experience in dealing with Smart Home Building Systems! We recently dealt with an insurance claim on a badly dented aluminum roof. What I thought was a good product and would last for many years, was ready for recycling in just under 8 years. We started looking for a new product made with a more sturdy material that would last for as long as we are living in our home. After discussing the problem with Joe we ended up going with the Edco Arrowline, Metal Slate roof. It looks great and we could not be happier! Secondary to the house roof, the company repaired and replaced our aging flat top garage roof. They used a stronger material and fixed drainage issues we had previously, the new product and roof look great and functions properly! The installer’s did a awesome job! They were very conscientious of their work and always left the yard spotless at night. (With 2 young children and a dog running around, I did not want them stepping onto any nails or left over pieces of roof.) Additionally as we would continue to use the yard during the install process, they were always conscious of who was in the yard. They took extra time to ensure the safety of everyone on our property and the adjacent properties. The crew was happy to answer any of my questions about the installation process and any future maintenance considerations (gutters, chimney, etc.) Since the install there has been many chats with neighbors and people driving by about the roof, both how good it looks and how surprised people are when they find out it is a steel product. As someone who has used a number of contractors over the years, the experience we had with Smart Home Building Systems was by far one of the best yet!

I was pleased to have chosen Smart Home Building Systems to install my new metal roof. Having previously had a cedar shake roof, followed by as asphalt shingle roof, I wanted something that would last better. The appearance of my cedar look metal roof fooled many of my neighbours who didn’t recognize it as a metal roof. It looks great! In addition, Jason and his work crew were very skilled in their installation. The work was carefully done and clean up was done daily. I would not hesitate to recommend Smart Home to supply and install a metal roof.

Hello, My name Is Keith Johnston, I live in Edmonton, Alberta. I went to the home show in Edmonton and chose the product from “Generation Roofing Collection” from Smart Homes Building Systems for its long lasting transferable warranty, tough, attractive and practical design. Smart Homes delivered the product that I was looking for. The crew that installed the product was professional and proficient. My new “Classic Red HD” roof is the best looking roof in the neighborhood.

I'm an experienced renovator and research scientist, working to transform a 50’s bungalow into a 21st century super-insulated little gem. I hired Joe and Andrew to help me with several projects over the last few years, including steel roofing, exterior cladding, eavestroughs, and soffits, and additional projects are forthcoming. I’ve been really fortunate to have found Smarthome. Firstly, I’m not an easy customer for Joe and Andrew, in that I have particular demands and requirements, as I’m a stickler for construction details and aim to utilize the latest building science and highest quality materials in my own work. I didn’t want to deal with just your average renovator. The goal here is to build for the next 50 years. It was a revelation to initially interact with Joe and later Andrew, who share this same passion for quality and best practice in construction methods and materials, and I’ve learned a lot from their experience and wisdom. Their interactions and communications are always professional and prompt, and as a smaller company it feels highly personalized, I’m always in the loop. Exterior renos inevitably encounter unexpected complications and delays, and it was in fact my own project delays requiring Smarthome to shuffle their project deck. No problem, they get it, we’re in this together. For the average homeowner just wanting to know if Smarthome will listen to you, provide the best possible advice, steer you clear of bad choices, give you options to meet your needs and budget, build it right the first time, and give you a fair market price, then have no hesitation. Awesome company.

This is our first experience with large renovations due to the hail storm last year. This company has been a pleasure to deal with. So far our roof has been replaced. The roofers used were amazing people who were friendly and knowledgeable; taking time to answer questions. Their work looks amazing and has left us feeling confident that the job has been done with the very best quality.

We were very pleased with the work that was done on our house. The communications between us and the contractors were excellent and there were no budgetary surprises. The quality of the work was outstanding. Everyone was friendly and accommodating to our schedules. Multiple neighbours stopped by to comment highly on the final renovations. All-in-all we can recommend Smart Home highly.

From start to finish, Joe and his team were fantastic to work with when dealing with the stress of such a large purchase. They were very communicative and professional. When I had to leave for leave for several weeks and wasn't home, they continued to send me photo updates and answer any questions I had promptly. Came back to a beautiful new roof and Joe personally took me up top to walk it over to see the finished product. Highly recommend contacting them for any home exterior needs!

I loved working with Joe and the entire SmartHome team for my metal roof. I am a very particular person and care significantly about the fine details of a job. Joe was very patient and accommodating with my preferences and put a level of care and detail into my home as if he owned it himself. I was thoroughly impressed with the initial planning process and was even more impressed with the actual execution of the job. The team was effective, efficient, and showed great attention to detail throughout the entire process. Well worth the investment of a metal roof and you can’t go wrong with Joe and the SmartHome team. I’ll never have to buy another metal roof again on this house because of the longevity of the product but if I ever need another roof on a future property, I’ll definitely be coming back to SmartHome! Well done and thank you for the incredible job!

We talked with Joe a number of months before the renovation but at that time we were focused on renovating the interior so we had it in mind of what we wanted to do but left it for a few months. We contacted Joe in August which was a number of months later and he asked if we were ready to do this and the interior was looking good but the exterior was shabby so I was more than ready to get going on it.We heard originally October but to my surprise they started in September. First was to take off the siding and stucco. Hands off to Chris who worked his butt off while battling health issues. Getting that stucco off was a real chore but he did it without making a mess of everything. He cleaned up as he went daily and we didn't have to live through construction garbage being left around. Eavestroughs were the second last thing and they did a fantastic job channeling water smartly away from the property. We had some water damage from our previous system and Joe's team replaced the damaged wood and put in better eavestroughs. The last part was the garage door and now the house looks brand new again. Five stars all around and if you are looking for someone who you can trust and sticks to his work then I would recommend Smart Home Building Systems any day.Photos are not in order for some reason but you get the idea.

Our experience with the Smart Homes team was second to none. If professionalism, accountability and efficiency are what you are looking for, look no further. Joe and his team are very personable and passionate about the services they have to offer. They present themselves with an unremarkable work ethic, in addition to quality workmanship with exceptional attention to detail over all. We are extremely happy with the finished product (siding, insulation, eavestroughs, facia and exterior doors) and would highly recommend Smart Home Building Systems Ltd. The compliments from friends and neighbors continue to be never ending.
