After that, they stopped responding entirely - no quote, no replies to follow-up calls or messages. Extremely poor communication and reliability. Avoid working with them if you can. Updated: After I posted this review, they suddenly reached out - not to acknowledge the silence or apologize, but to act as if they never went radio silent. The lack of accountability and professionalism speaks for itself.

I called Jules and one other roofing company because heavy rains this spring caused leakage into my…read morehouse. He came when he said he was coming and gave me a fair quote to fix it. Also to replace missing tiles blown off the roof and to check over all the roof to make sure there were no more issues. He gave me a reasonable price, broken down for different steps, and fixed the leak immediately. I was very happy with his service, and knowlege. The nice thing about this company is that they will take on a small job of fixing- many companies won't even call you back. When he came back a few months later, (after I'd saved up some money for the rest of the job) he picked up a 14 ft 2x6 for me and repaired a spot in the side of the garage roof, for a nominal cost. If you're in the Ottewell or surrounding neighborhoods with a small roof issue, I wouldn't call anyone else. Jules 1780-803-1616.

They were dedicated, professional, timely, and in fact, blew me away by putting in an incredible amount of detail and care. They didn't settle for right, they wanted it to be perfect - if a single sheet was 'notable' they wanted it changed. I never saw a member of the team walk past a window without picking up debris, and we appreciate that level of care. Couldn't be happier!

We had intended to sub it all out ourselves and we were very close to pulling the trigger when we met Joe at the Edmonton home show. He gave us honest advice that we could do better, especially on the quality of windows we were about to lock in. So we asked if he would give us a quote for the whole thing. We had already hired a designer, so we had a pretty good idea of what we wanted, but Joe spent a lot of time with us, showing us other options and ultimately dialing in the exact design. Specifically, he showed us some options that we had never considered with a mix of vinly siding and Hardie. Joe also got window quotes that were the same price or better than we had received, but for higher quality windows. Often a good salesman doesn't always translate to a good team. That was not the case with Smart Home. Their entire team and sub contractors were excellent. Once the project started and we were able to directly contact the sub contractors and they were all very responsive. With any multi-faceted job, there will be issues, and they were all handled quickly. For example, we noticed right away that the style of vinyl siding was wrong, it was fixed the next day. We had some electrical issues, the electrician came back multiple times, until it was solved. We had water issues with our garage that became more apparent when the old siding was removed. Andrew, the primary job manager, came to us with helpful suggestions and ultimately implemented the agreed upon solution. Andrew also made innovative suggestions on how to reconfigure our eavestroughs to avoid icy spots in the winter. Smart Home only works with excellent contractors and we couldn't have been happier with the entire process from start to finish. Fair, honest dealing with a company that truly made us feel like they had a stake in the final product. I can't recommend them enough.

Of all of the people who worked on our place, the folks from Alf's were among the very best. I do not hesitate to recommend them to anyone. One really nice bit about Alf's... Tidiness. When we were renting in Oliver, our landlord had the roof redone and the guys who did the work were tattooed, thuggish looking men who smoked and swore and talked loudly and, worst of all, left loose nails and shingles all over the property. The folks from Alf's didn't leave a scrap behind, and as a parent I really appreciate that.

It doesn't help that the water outlets are on that side, too, and we had to install an electrical upgrade that ran all down that side and is attached to the parging at intervals. Too many ways for water to get in behind there, and things started looking pretty rough. We knew we were due for some parging updates in other parts of the house, too, after 27 years from the original. We had a quote from another vendor that was quite a bit cheaper, but what we heard about how they planned to deal with the long wall situation basically sounded like a cosmetic coverup and not really a fix. I remembered that our neighbour had used J and J years ago before selling their home, and their work still looked great there. J and J gave us an estimate that was within our guesstimate frame, told us in detail about how they would fix the wall, showed up reliably, and completed the work in a much faster time frame than I would have thought. Multiple people were on the job the first day, and they had to come back a second day to follow up on finishing the beastly wall, and were delayed by some serious rain, but there was no worry waiting because the site was already weather safe, with the follow up work being mostly cosmetic. The outcome has been very satisfying after years of seeing things slowly crumble. I enjoy being out in the garden without having to try and not look at certain places. In short, it looks seamless and took years off the curb appeal of our home. These folks really are the experts at this in Edmonton, and I would highly recommend them and definitely use them again.

Problem was, half the bricks were falling out of the top of it, and it really looked awful. I knocked the sucker down to the ground with a sledgehammer, then called some siding repair places, since the siding that had been behind it for 40 years or so was rotted clean through. The guys who pulled off the old siding recommended J & J for parging the area. Jeff and his helper did a great job, and they were super fast! The cost was not exorbitant, and I can't wait to get my place painted now. Thanks for the terrific work!
