• Kathleen Lausman & John Gagnon

    My husband and I have been working in the building industry for our entire 40+ year career, teaming up with many different contractors, subcontractors and designers over the years on many different projects. But, our best experience to date has been with Taylor Guy and his EcoSmart team. This project was most personal as it was our own home. We required the expertise, experience and energy to get the job done right, on budget and quickly. EcoSmart started at sunrise and worked till dusk and completed the structure to lock-up & weather tight within 6 weeks. Lightening speed by comparison to similar projects in this neighbourhood. We would enthusiastically recommend EcoSmart to anyone planning a building project.

    Working with Eco Smart to build my home was an absolute pleasure. They made the process no nonsense and simple, while addressing all of my needs and delivering an exceptional product. Their pride in workmanship and design combined with their focus on building energy efficient homes, really sets them apart from the rest. From aesthetic, to quality, to practicality I would easily give them a 10/10 and recommend to anyone looking to build a home.

    Any regrets?” or “Anything you would change?”

    To be perfectly honest, my answer is, “No. Nothing. ”We really love the house. We love the design. We love the style. We love it’s performance. We love the comfort.

    We spent a lot of time planning, designing, and researching the house. We did not compromise and we followed the adage to: “Do it right the first time.”
