We initially met Joe from Smart Homes at the Home Renovation Show in Edmonton. He was very knowledgeable and helpful during our initial interview with him. He had visual samples of the products which helped us understand what we were looking for and what would look good for our home. When we decided to go through with our exterior Renovations, Joe came out to our place and spent a lot of time going over everything and thoroughly discussed options for what we were looking for. Within a week of a signed agreement he had a crew at our house. We have a small older home and even still the crew had the siding, insulation soffit and facia done in a week and then 1 day for another crew to come out and finish the eavestroughs. Great work was completed by all and Joe continually followed up with phone calls and then a site visit once it was completed to ensure we were happy with the finished product. We would recommend Smart Home for any exterior renovation needs anyone would have. Thank you to Joe and his crew for the great work.

Just wanted to take a few minutes to write a note and thank you for the very positive Experience my wife and I have had dealing with you on our re-roofing project. As our basic asphalt shingles were failing for the second time on our 25 year old home, we wanted to make sure this would be our last time to re-shingle. I love to do extensive research before making any major purchase, and new shingles were no exception. It became apparent that the choices for a longer lasting roof were architectural shingles, some type of recycled rubber shingles, or metal roofing. I went ahead and had three local companies provide estimates on various asphalt and rubber shingles. We then spent many hours touring newer neighbourhoods to view different shingle styles. Not trusting the exaggerated guarantees of asphalt, and not sure about the unproven life expectancy of rubber, I began to investigate metal shingles. Aluminum or steel? I was not sure which was better, but focused my attention more on the manufacturer and installer reputations. I was impressed with the corporate history of Edco Products and the documented product quality. I know steel is stronger than aluminum and would stand up to hail much better, but was concerned about possible rust issues. My concerns were put to rest however by the solid guarantee and the Kynar paint coating on the Edco roofing. As a supplier of pumps to oilfield and petrochemical customers, I am very aware of the toughness and chemical resistant properties of Kynar in pump components. The install was done in fine weather in early spring and the crew was very professional and obviously experienced with metal roof installs. The finished roof looks amazing and will no doubt outlive the current residents! I very much appreciated Joe and his no nonsense approach. My wife and I never felt pressure to sign a contract or that we were getting meaningless sales slogans and jargon. Thanks again Joe, and come by this fall for more freshly dug, cut, and fried potato chips!

Our 21 year old garage looks pretty new now with the aged copper standing seam metal roof. Love the features. The front eaves. The roof rail. This job was wonderful. The guys who completed the job were polite, professional and very thorough. We will be using them again in the future for other work on our buildings. Can’t thank you enough for the job done.

We recently downsized and moved into a 46 year old bungalow. We spent several months working on the interior and had planned to tackle the exterior this spring but because of our mild winter we were able to start in January and about 7 weeks later we had a “new” house. Because we were doing the works; windows, doors, insulation, siding, eaves, soffits, fascia, shingles ….. we didn’t feel comfortable finding and co-ordinating trades on our own so we went to the Edmonton Renovation show in October and got the names of a few companies that specialize in exteriors. Smart Home Building Systems was one. After getting quotes from several companies we narrowed it down to Smart Homes and one other. The quotes were similar and we liked the owner of Smart Homes, Joe Bader, and the rep from the other company. We were struggling with which company to choose so we called both companies, told them of our dilemma and asked them to help us with our decision. When we called Joe, he didn’t hesitate in saying he would come over and we would sit down and talk about it. We didn’t get the same offer from the other company. After talking with Joe there was no question that this was the company we wanted to give our business to and we certainly have had no regrets! Joe was a pleasure to work with and gave us all the time we needed to feel comfortable with decisions along the way. He was always just a phone call away. His crews were great! All were efficient, reliable, did a great job, kept the job site clean and worked in a professional manner. We met some very hard working young men that put in some long hours. This has been a very positive experience for us, largely because of Joe’s caring nature and attention to detail. We would have no hesitation in recommending Smart Home Building Systems and their wonderful crews. Thank you, Joe, for making the process as painless as possible. It’s going to be quiet around here!

Having to replace the roof on our retirement home at the lake and wanting something that would last and be appealing, we thoroughly researched all the different roofing systems and reputable companies in our area, becoming very knowledgeable in all the aspects of the industry, including quality of material used, workmanship, warranty and pricing, checking references from several companies getting quotes and discussing details. We met Joe Bader at the home show who introduced us to the EDCO Generations HD product supplied by his company Smart Home Building Systems. He described in great detail the process of manufacturing, warranty and reputation in the industry providing the detailed scope of work along with the schedule which was a key component in determining who to hire. He committed to an acceptable start date and completion timeline. The pricing was within the budget we set aside for this work. The work was completed in June 2015 with the level of professionalism and expertise that we expected, and yet were pleasantly surprised and happy with. The gentleman who spent the time on our property were kind, polite and extremely knowledgeable. As seniors we are thorough and conservative when hiring contractors to do work for us and more specifically when it involves a major capital repair. It is critical that there is a mutual trust and respect in place for both parties. We are happy with the service provided by Smart Home and specifically with Joe Bader who made the experience painless and worry free throughout. His sincerity, dedication and generosity exceeded our expectations, replacing a damaged eavestrough and supplying us with matching material for a shed. We are pleased to provide a reference and recommendation to anyone looking for A roofing company who SAY what they do and DO what they SAY and with no hidden cost to the customer. We can say without hesitation we are satisfied customers and would certainly hire Joe Bader and his team in the future.

I would like to thank Smart Home Building Systems for completing my project using Longboard, Standing Seam metal roofing, trim-work and eavestroughing. The Longboard was originally not my initial vision for the project however when considering the cost, maintenance and environmental cost to forests when using wood I new that Longboard was a desirable product for the project. I was able to meet the installation crew, great guys. By meeting the tradesmen prior to commencing the project made me realize that not only was I getting a superior product, but true professionals were doing the installation. With respect to pricing, Smart Home Building Systems was not the least cost provider however by selecting alternative materials and colours to compromise on, the price was met. The price on the contract I signed matched the cheque I wrote upon completion of the project. The eavestroughing is wonderful and very well installed. I was able to discuss with the installer my specific requirements and all was done by the time I got home from work. Thank you Smart Home Building Systems for completing my project on time, on budget and beautifully installed. My project is a wonderful addition to my property and still a showpiece of the neighbourhood.
