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.

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.

We can’t recommend Smart Home Building Systems enough! We hired Joe and his crew to renovate our 1950 stucco home and transform the exterior into a fresh and modern home. Joe was patient and understanding while helping us with the design stage, even as we changed our minds a couple of times and went in an entirely different direction. Andrew is so knowledgable and professional, we felt like we could trust him completely with his recommendations and work. Kaz was absolutely incredible. His attention to detail and work ethic was superior to any one we have ever hired to do any sort of work for us, ever. Our home is perfect and it is all thanks to them. Smart Home removed the stucco from our home, filled in the empty pockets of insulation behind the shiplap, added 2″ insulation, and new siding. We hired a different company to do our windows (before we came across Smart Home), and wish we hired Smart Home to handle our new windows as well. Kaz went above and beyond with the window crew, who were going to install the windows incorrectly, and took time away from his own work to show them how to install the windows properly. Kaz is so friendly and personable, he felt like someone we knew much longer than the couple of months he was working on our home. As happy as we were for our house to be done, we were sad to see Kaz go. Smart Home also handled the parging, and that crew was very friendly and professional as well. Every single employee who works for Smart Home and worked on our house was fantastic. Thank you SO much, Joe, Andrew, Kaz, Jared, and crew, we are thrilled with our “new” home.

We found Smart Home on RenovationFind to complete our entire roofing project (standing seam metal roof, eaves trough, fascia and soffit replacement). Joe did an awesome job at explaining the different types of metal roofing , which type and style would work best for our house and had tons of previous project photos to reference. He was great at having patience with us as we decided on project factors of cost, color, style, height of product, etc. The roofing crew came out and worked in sections of our roof to ensure nothing was exposed to the elements in case it rained and were diligent with clean up after each day of work. We are so happy with the end result of our project and our experience with Smart Home as they did an amazing job. PS. we also saved over 12% on our home insurance when we switched the roof to metal.

Our reno was nearly a full exterior replacement: windows, doors, siding, facia, soffit, eavestroughs and parging. We had intended to sub it all out ourselves and we were very close to pulling the trigger when we met Joe at the Edmonton home show. He gave us honest advice that we could do better, especially on the quality of windows we were about to lock in. So we asked if he would give us a quote for the whole thing. We had already hired a designer, so we had a pretty good idea of what we wanted, but Joe spent a lot of time with us, showing us other options and ultimately dialing in the exact design. Specifically, he showed us some options that we had never considered with a mix of vinly siding and Hardie. Joe also got window quotes that were the same price or better than we had received, but for higher quality windows. Often a good salesman doesn’t always translate to a good team. That was not the case with Smart Home. Their entire team and sub contractors were excellent. Once the project started and we were able to directly contact the sub contractors and they were all very responsive. With any multi-faceted job, there will be issues, and they were all handled quickly. For example, we noticed right away that the style of vinyl siding was wrong, it was fixed the next day. We had some electrical issues, the electrician came back multiple times, until it was solved. We had water issues with our garage that became more apparent when the old siding was removed, Andrew, the primary job manager came to us with helpful suggestions and ultimately implemented the agreed upon solution. Andrew also made innovative suggestions on how to reconfigure our eavestroughs to avoid icy spots in the winter. Smart Home only works with excellent contractors and we couldn’t have been happier with the entire process from start to finish. Fair, honest dealing with a company that truly made us feel like they had a stake in the final product. I can’t recommend them enough.

Had our 2 houses south of Okotoks re-roofed with metal roofs by Smart Home, after making contact at the Calgary home renovation show. Glad we went to the show and signed a deal with Joe. Our roofing crew, headed by Trevor were skilled and hard working. The result is outstanding. Very impressed with the results. We will be recommending Smart Home to our family & friends, especially if anyone has a difficult or unusual project.
