Sandy and Scott helped us with design decisions and helped us determine what made sense and what gave us the best results for our budget.
The work was done very well, communication was generally good and we are very happy with the results and the choices that we made.
Pricing and budgeting was clear and they did a great job of dealing with the various third party contractors and specialists.
We would definitely recommend them to others.
My family and I had the pleasure of working with them, and we couldn't be happier with the results. Scott was always very thorough in explaining what he worked on each day, and he made sure to answer any questions we had. He paid close attention to the details and was very reliable, which made the entire process stress-free for us. Sandi was a great help when it came to decorating our newly renovated basement. She listened to our preferences and offered ideas that fit our style perfectly. The end result was absolutely beautiful! We would definitely choose to work with Scott and Sandi again in the future, and we recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and detail-oriented renovation team.
I am so happy that Scott managed my basement finishing. The entire process was well managed and Scott was exceptionally easy to work with. He was a true professional and communicated everything to me as we went through each phase of my basement. I loved that he made suggestions like moving my dryer vent and applying for a city rebate for my EMV charger which I had decided to have installed as an add on to the project since the wiring would come from my basement. Sandy did all the rebate paper work for me which was so appreciated. Scott perfectly matched my baseboards, and his electrical, plumbing, drywall, ceiling finisher, painters and flooring sub contractors were all fantastic and I am extremely satisfied with my basement. I really like that I had payments at various stages of completion and that the costs were exactly what we had laid out. Scott even kept my basement clean throughout so that I was able to continue to do my laundry everyday except one. The project was only over our hoped for timeline by a week which is still impressive to me considering how much work was done to turn it into my dream basement and that the basement was finished during the pandemic and all it’s obstacles. If I ever need another home renovation I will definitely call Scott.
We worked with energy efficient homes in 2006/07 to build our custom energy efficient home within our acreage subdivision. They built a fabulous high quality custom home and always were fair and partnered with us as we navigated the obstacles that occasionally pop up during custom home construction. Even 14 years later, our homes bones remain solid and energy efficient homes still welcomes our calls if we need advise or have questions! Highly recommend this builder!!!
We had energy efficient homes help us with some backyard work but mostly they built us an amazing deck. They were very knowledgeable, helped structure it in an awkward space on an old home, and it looks fantastic. We were very satisfied with working with them!
Overall I would say our experience with Energy Efficient Homes was a good one. The renovations and upgrades that they did were excellent. Scott was easy to talk to to and did his best to explain things along the way. One thing I would have liked to see more of was written change orders. We were a little surprised by some of the extra charges at the end of the job but Scott worked with us to keep it fair.
We had a terrific experience with EE. Our contractors were thorough and professional from design through completion. At the start of the project they spent a great deal of time with us to make sure we knew exactly what they wanted. They then helped us choose every feature of the renovation - often going with us to showrooms or bringing over samples. As is the case with every renovation, we had some hiccups along the way - things that didn't end up exactly as we'd hoped. We could've just left them as they were, but Scott and Sandi took care of every little detail and made sure that the work was A) the quality of a new build and B) looking and functioning exactly as we wanted. They treated us exactly like it was their home they were renovating. We would highly recommend Energy Efficient Homes. They not only did terrific work, but they are wonderful people and very easy to work with. We love our new bathroom, locker/mudroom and upstairs laundry!
We did a full basement development in 2018 which included a full 3 piece bathroom - walk-in shower with clear glass enclosure.There is now a huge bedroom which has plenty of room for a king size bedroom suite- we also had a new larger basement window installed. There's a full extended playroom/ TV sitting area and also a separate office/computer room. The furnace and laundry room are also enclosed which makes our basement completely finished and now fully functional. Throughout the entire renovation we found Scott and his team of sub trades easily organized and areas kept clean from the daily work load.As the work continued for our basement renovations we decided to have our family room on the main floor switched from carpet to hardwood . Even with the work being done in this area just off from the kitchen,we had no problem with the household being disrupted . Things were kept clean and tidy by the workers. I would recommend Scott and Energy Efficient Homes Inc. for any future renovations. Thank you for a job well done, definitely a positive step forward with our basement complete.
EE Homes built our custom home in 2007. The communication was terrific throughout construction, and any issues were handled quickly. We are very happy with the quality and comfort of the home, and can really feel the difference the special walk system makes; no hot or cold areas. We recommended EE Homes and would build with them again.
