My partner and I retained Sustainable.TO for our recent house renovation. I was interested in sustainable solutions for heating/cooling as well as building materials. Paul Dowsett and his team, specifically Donald Peckover, provided a great design with both passive and active sustainable systems (cross-ventilation; operable windows placed to draw hot air up and out in summer while also providing natural light; green roof; HRV/ERV; radiant heating) and incorporated sustainable building materials. Paul and Donald were friendly and easy to work with and very knowledgeable about different options. They were also able to suggest several general contractors that are familiar with green building. Overall, we are very happy with our house and the services provided by Sustainable.TO. We definitely recommend them!

Company Response

Dear Sharon:
Thank you for your lovely review.
It has been the utmost pleasure for Donald and I to work with you and your partner to create a sustainable home that works for both of you ...while retaining the charm of the original home, which you love.
Donald and I, and the rest of the Sustainable team, hope that you are happy and comfortable in your ‘new’ energy-efficient home for many years to come!
Paul

Facing a bathroom reno (due to water damage and termites) that was too extensive for me to tackle alone, I did some research and ended up deciding to go with Servisol. Bruce and the team chosen to work on my project were polite, explained anything I didn't understand, gave me options where possible, and all showed up on time. Bruce was fair with his pricing, and I'm very happy that I didn't go with a cheaper quote. Sean, Mohammed, and Marcel are all highly skilled tradesmen and I'm very happy with the quality of their work. The work encompassed demolition, rebuilding the subfloor, installing an in-floor heating mat, cement board, drywall repairs, rewiring lighting and outlets, framing and finishing a new window, installing a new tub, double-sink vanity, toilet and fixtures. I wanted to do the tiling myself so Sean gave me great tips on how to do a good job. My tiling isn't nearly as good as Sean's so next time I'll let him do it. I have already recommended Servisol to my mother and will definitely use them in the future. Thanks everyone for a great job!

Any advice to offer fellow homeowners facing a similar project?
Try to make as many decisions as possible regarding your project before meeting with a contractor so that your quote is tailored to your exact needs but be open if a better option is suggested. Do research upfront so you know a bit about the subject and can ask good questions.
