windows, furnace, insulation

We are completing a full house renovation. After speaking with several companies, friends and family; we called in House Smart to replace our windows, move a furnace, add insulation and air seal. From the outset, our sales rep was professional and very helpful. Recognizing the scope of our project she referred us to other contractors to do work outside of her area of expertise which proved invaluable to us. House Smart's installers were professional, courteous and very hard working. The window installer went above and beyond what we were offered by any other company - using a weatherproof membrane around all the window openings. We had an issue with the new patio door which was fixed within a day of reporting the issue.
I would not hesitate to recommend House Smart Home Improvements. They were nothing short of professional, competent and diligent in their service to us.

Thank you for the great review and for noticing we used Blue -Skin membrane in our install, no other company that we compete with goes this extra mile to ensure a Guaranteed Leak-Proof Install. Thanks again for choosing House Smart Home Improvements its nice to go with a company that can do all of your energy efficient needs with only one contractor; That's what separates us from our competitors as well!

Replaced 105 windows in condo compex

House Smart was the successful bidder, out of 6, because of the superior product, warranty, information provided and willingness to work within our schedule and constraints. This includes scaling down their estimate to compete with other companies who ultimately did not offer the same high quality. Installation went very well, with all 105 windows installed in 2 days and without having our 3-storey building surrounded by scaffolding. Installers were professional and considerate hard-working people. The few issues (all concerned with the window manufacturer, and nothing serious) were pointed out by the installers and dealt with in a professional manner. All of our owners are very happy with the entire process, as well as their new windows.

New windows and furnace

Would not recommend this company. We had all new windows put in our house. Came home to blood spots on the carpet in one of the bedrooms. Furnace leaked gas and all they said was oh...no one came to look at it. Tried several different ways to get the draft proofing guy to call us..salesman said he was hard to get a hold of..we had to hold back money to get them to pay attention. One guy showed up to install the large front windows and cut himself, bleeding at my front door. He had been with them for 2 months...it was actually quite ridiculous in all and I would not ever use them again!

Thank you to the Campbell's for the review and the opportunity to respond. We sincerely regret the Campbell’s found their experience with House Smart wanting. We, at House Smart Home Improvements endeavor to do our very best for each and every one of our clients. Our warranty guarantees 100% satisfaction and in order to ensure this; our window installers do a complete walk-through (following completion of the project) with the client and have the client sign off on our Customer Satisfaction Form before any payment is made. Should any issues arise during this walk-through; they are dealt with on the spot or as soon thereafter as possible. The Campbell’s sign –off sheet indicates they were very happy with the outcome of the project. Had we been made aware of “blood spots on the carpet in one of the bedrooms”, we would have immediately had the carpets professionally cleaned. We certainly take complaints of gas leaks very seriously and were only informed of a possible issue after the fact, therefore we were never able to ascertain what in fact the issue was. This issue did however prompt our company to put into place a walk-through by our furnace installers much like the walk-through our window installers do. Our furnace installers now go through important details regarding emergency contact, settings, filter replacements/washing instructions and adjustments to thermostats etc.
Draft proofing/air sealing is a Value Added Service we provide to our clients. We apologize for any inconvenience in trying to reach our Tech. Lloyd can be extremely busy yet he never fails to get the job done!
Our Service Technician (Scott) has been an Installer with our company for seven (7) years and only recently assumed the Service Tech position (for which he is well qualified). We understand how disturbing it can be to find someone bleeding at your front door! Scott regrets Ms. Campbell was upset by this. Accidents unfortunately do happen and that is why our crews are covered by Work Safe BC and independent insurance!
Our Customer reviews serve to keep us on our toes and continuously upgrade our skills and policies. If we can do better – I guarantee – we will do better!
House Smart Home Improvements is committed to 100% Customer Satisfaction! Our Warranty states it and you can hold us to it!

New Double Glazed low E2 Vinyl Windows for House

We moved into a house in Vancouver and noticed later during the late fall that we had double glazed aluminum windows. I did my research and asked around. My wife's co-worker had some work done by House Smart was satisfied so I decided to call in two companies for estimates. Representative came and measured and explained about windows and provided quote. I decided to go with HS because the windows and glass were manufactured from a reputalbe company in the US as opposed to from some products being made overseas. The warranty is excellent as well as it is a lifetime one on product and labour.

Subcontractor company came to house on day as scheduled and three workers came with two removing and installing and one doing the cleanup. When finished, they were able to wipe clean the windows, caulk around the units and explain how to use the windows as we bought sliders and hung windows. Very happy withe the team as they were knowledgeable and personable.

I would definitely recommend this company to family friend and anyone who wants windows installed.

Purchase and Installation of High-Efficiency Home Furnace

Purchased a high-efficiency furnace from company and arranged for installation. Pre-installation representative came to take measurements and to arrange for gas permit with the city. Sub-contracted company came with two people. Both are very knowledgeable, helpful and personable. Installed furnace and piping, venting in a day. Also provided information and assistance to us in choosing a thermostat that would operate with the furnace. Came back a few days later to change a small tubing to allow moisture to vent out into drain hole.

Furnace has been great, no problems, comes with an excellent warranty.

Approximate cost of services:
$4,000.00
