Building a great home requires both skills and passion. Effect possesses both of these in abundance. They have been building high quality, energy efficient and net zero energy homes for years and truly care about what they do. Over the years I have witnessed how they build trust with each homeowner through listening and guiding and take extra steps to build it better. They have an impressive list of awards and hold leadership positions within the Canadian Home Builders Association. Their reputation is stellar within the industry and with homeowners. An excellent example of a Holmes Approved Builder!

Effect Home Builders Ltd were our builders of choice. They not only built us a super efficient near net zero passive solar house but they built us a custom home to suit our lifestyle. It was important to them that our needs were met. Even after seven years living in our custom built home, we are still delighted with the final product. It is exactly what we wanted. Effect Home Builders guided us through the process to make wise choices and stay on budget. They are very transparent which instilled a high level of trust. We highly recommend them. Their attention to detail and energy efficiency won them the 2015 Energy Efficiency Award for the build of our house. Need I say more!

Effect Homes is certainly one of Edmontons premier home builders. Their workmanship and quality are top-notch and their infill designs reflect a concerted effort to build environmentally-conscious homes that are both innovative and practical, exceeding the most stringent environmental standards. I think their list of awards speaks for itself, recognizing the superb craftsmanship and attention to detail in their projects. Their passion for home building is readily apparent and it gives people the confidence to know they are in good hands when embarking on such a major undertaking like building their dream home.

Our experience with Effect has been exceptional. They are a well run company that genuinely cares about what they do. Their skilled team are good communicators, easy to work with and produce beautiful, energy efficient homes. Highly recommended!

Effect Homes Builders and the entire team are amazing! If you want the best quality and high touch personal care every step of the way, Effect Home Builders should be your #1 choice for custom home building or major renovation projects. The depth of knowledge and experience, especially around custom, green building, and net zero, is unmatched by any other builder in Edmonton. I highly recommend you reach out to them!

We worked with Effect Homes to provide an estimate to our future home. They have a very established and open process for the entire build. We only got through the initial estimate phase, however even that small interaction was very professional. Communications we very detailed and thorough, promised kept for response times, and the overall experience left me thinking I trust that they would build me a high quality home on time and on budget. I highly recommend their speaking with them to build your home.

Effect Home Builders was very helpful. They were very professional and listened to our priorities and preferences. They were extremely informative and straightforward when discussing our project. You can tell that their main priorities are quality in the project and client satisfaction.

As owner of Carbon Environmental Boutique, I had the pleasure of working together with Effect Home Builders. In every interaction, they make a positive impact - on the project, on the people involved, and on the environment. These are genuine, salt-of-the-earth people who care about what they do, and do it to the highest standard. I wish I could give them 10 stars!

We’ve been in our wonderful home for about 18 months now. Effect Homes have done a truly incredible job building our very unique home. They were involved with our architects from day one to make the vision come alive. The work was professional and meticulous at every step. The quality is second to none. I can’t say enough about the integrity and commitment of everyone involved, from the owners of the company to everyone that set foot in our home from beginning to end. Effect truly cares about their work. The house is magnificent! And probably one of the most energy efficient in Edmonton.

Effect Home Builders is an excellent company to work with. Organized, professional, clear communication and top notch quality. One of the best in the business!

I am excited to collaborate with Effect since they strive to provide excellent housing. For years they have excelled at producing well-built and energy-efficient homes. Now they bring this forward-thinking to the next level: homes that encourage aging-in-place. By combining my doctoral research and their craft, homeowners dreaming of their forever homes will have the opportunity to live in their homes, forever.

I worked with the Effect Home Builders team to improve their workflow and project management processes. I was impressed by their dedication to excellence, collaborative spirit, and willingness to step away from tradition and embrace a Net-Zero, customer-focused, system. We will be seeing great things from Effect Home Builders over the coming years.

Effect home builders is an industry leader in net zero custom homes. Over the years they have cultivated a core team of people who truly care, and love what they do. I’ve always taken a lot of pride in working with them, and look forward to continuing our relationship.

I saw a house which had been newly constructed by Effect Home Builders Ltd and I liked a product that they had used on the exterior of the home. I sent them an email requesting information on the product though I had never used their services before. Within a couple of hours I received a response back from Les with the requested information I was looking for. What a great experience to have a quick reply with information that would not benefit them in anyway. Thank you Effect Home Builders Ltd!!

We really appreciate the honest advice Les provided when we were exploring our building options. Effect builds beautiful, sustainable homes and were very helpful. Thank you!

Good people to rent from. Responsive and attentive.

It was a pleasure working with Les and Dominic from Effect. They are genuine, care about what they do, and are always striving for continuous improvement. I love the passion they bring to building homes that are both beautiful and sustainable.

In our professional dealings with Les, Dominic and the Effect team we found them to be knowledgeable, friendly and easy to work with. They are industry leaders in building well-designed, sustainable homes.

Effect is a company that cares about everything from planning your custom home, building it and follow up care. We had a very pleasant experience in building our lovely home with them. It started with a pleasant and friendly meet and greet where we had a chance to discuss all options for building an energy efficient home and they are very knowledgeable. They did not talk down on us but rather educate us on the current technology. They would also advice us on not the most expensive option but the right option to suit our needs. They have an excellent team who are knowledgeable, friendly, quick to respond to e-mails and phone calls, even after they have built our home. Even the smallest matter, they take it very seriously. While building our home, they provided us with regular up dates. They also had good communication with our neighbors. Their team has great workmanship and ownership to their work. Our home was built before schedule and still the perfect home - cool in the summer, warm in the winter. They were also right on budget which is a bonus. We would recommend them to anyone looking to build a high quality, green home by an honest company who works with you every step of the way.

We had the pleasure of working with Effect and were always struck by their teams professionalism and ability to respond to our needs. They are dedicated to energy efficient home building and constantly pushing and growing their own abilities and offer the best service possible.

We have been living in our new home for over 6 months now and we love every space of it! Everyone at Effect was wonderful to work with. All the special touches, the accommodation of changes, dealing with the paperwork and all the patient handholding - we really appreciate all the hard work that everyone put into making our home into a reality. The team at Effect truly cares about their clients, making sure that the work they do, is done right and done well. True professionals! Thank you Effect for helping us build our home.

We built our home with Effect Home Builders in 2014. We built a large custom home and we were very involved in the entire process, and I would guess we are more particular than the average client regarding attention to detail. We would highly recommend choosing Effect Home Builders. They know what they are doing. They were excellent to work with. They provide high quality workmanship, and integrity and transparency in their business dealings. If any issue arose with the trades on a specific job, it was always rectified to our satisfaction. We have nothing but good things to say about our experience with working with Effect. Sydney assisted us with the interior design, which we are also very happy with. Their commitment to following up on any details needing tweaking once the move in is complete is also excellent. They definitely dont disappear just because the job is done. The entire crew is pleasant, and after working together over several months on such a large project, we miss seeing them from time to time.

Les from Effect Home Builders was awesome. He promptly returned my phone call and was very informative. I highly recommend this company.

As a former Effect Home Builder employee, I would like to reflect how much this company meant to me and how much they have taught me. Since day one I was treated like family and to this day still treated the same way. I was sad to leave but chose to pursue another career opportunity. But would like to thank everyone from the building staff to the office staff you guys our a great group of people who build an amazing products. The building staff taught me so much and prepared me for my apprenticeship. I cannot wait to go off to school to show what I have learned from them. They were really specific on what they want and how properly it should be done taking pride in everything they do. I give this company a 5 star rating because they will build you a 10 stars house. They will go beyond standards for you and build you your dream house.

Effect Home Buliders are an awesome company with a great team and top notch ownership. They are professional and extremely honest people with big hearts and vision. I highly recommend using this company for all your home building needs.

Effect is a great company to deal with with awesome owners. Not only are they nice and honest people but skilled at their craft. Highly recommend!

A few years ago we had Effect renovate our home and were trulyimpressed! They were professional, easy to work with and clearlyexplained the renovation process. They helped us select durablematerials and took extra steps to ensure everything was installedproperly. The results were stunning. We enjoyed living in thebeautiful space until deciding to move to accommodate our growingfamily. We definitely recommend Effect for anyoneconsidering a renovation!

In my interest in learning about energy efficient homes I have researched Effect Homes in depth. I found the company to be client centric and deliver extremely well designed and energy efficient homes. Les and his team have instilled within the company his positive attitude and his trustworthiness. I find Les to be very approachable, accessible, and determined to ensure that the homes his company builds are a positive impact in the community and a forever home for his clients. Will definitely approach Effect Homes when we consider our next home!

Working with Effect Home Builders was a very smooth experience. They were quick to respond, and professional anytime I contacted them. I would give them my business again if I ever needed their services.

I am a former employee of Effect Home Builders. It was a great experience working with the company. They helped support me through the carpentry apprenticeship program and truly care about employee satisfaction, training and safety. It is a close group that has a positive vibe. I am very proud of the homes I helped build while with the company.

Ive had the pleasure of working with the team at Effect Home Builders, specifically Les and Dale, for about 10 years in a variety of roles. Most currently in my role as Director of Net Zero Energy Housing at the Canadian Home Builders Association. Its such a pleasure interacting with them. Theyre genuinely passionate about building their amazing, high-performance homes and they really care about what they do. Theyre great people, building great homes! I highly recommend them to anyone!

As a resident in a mature neighbourhood, I am always happy to see a project by Effect Home Builders. It is appreciated how they engage neighbours prior to starting construction and introduce themselves. Their sites are always kept clean – an indication, I believe, of their professionalism, care and pride in their product. They contribute to our neighbourhood not only as a reputable builder, but also through their support of community events and projects.

My wife and I consulted with Effect Home Builders on a major redesign for a portion of our home. Les, Dale and the team were very helpful and professional. They informed us of our options and suggested some creative solutions. Although we decided to not proceed with the project we felt we were in good hands throughout the entire process and it was a pleasure to work with the Effect team.

Working with Effect for many years I have found them to be professional and innovative. They also hold themselves to a higher standard than many other builders. Having visited different show homes that they have constructed I can say that they are a great team that builds exceptional homes that are energy efficient.

We recently moved back into a delightful and now near-new home which Effect Home Builders renovated for us. It was quite a transformation from the drafty bungalow which we lived in for 14 years, to a stunning new home with only the solid 1960s foundation and some of the sturdy framing left from the old. Effects attention to energy-efficient construction means the house has stayed blissfully cool on the hot days; we look forward to a warmer winter in our cozy home​.Effects staff were honest, approachable, communicative, and respectful of our requests throughout the process. They certainly employed some clever thinking in renewing the structure ​and maximizing the space.​ Effects network of subcontractors and other professionals were timely and skilled. Mike Holmes certification provides extra assurance the work was done right. Our neighbours appreciated the communication Effect provided, and construction disturbance was minimal. Remarkably for such a complete renovation, ​Effect​ stayed on bu​dget ​and on time​, other than some upgrades we chose along the way.Were enjoying our home so much we dont expect to move for a long time, but if we ever had to renovate or build another home, Effect Home Builders would be our first choice.

Although I am outside of their service area, they were open and honest with me about energy efficient building practices and what has worked for their company. Knowledgeable, realistic and accommodating with an apparent standard of excellence. If I lived closer to Edmonton I would not hesitate to bring them in on my residential build. Thanks so much for your time.

While Effect has not built a home for us (yet!), we have spent lots of time in their homes and have friends who own and love their Effect Homes. Excellent craftmanship, detail, comfort, and unique extras that you dont find from regular builders. Ive also known one of the owners for many years and hes one of the most trustworthy, authentic fellows I know and is highly respected in the community.

Effect Homes did a renovation for us, doubling the size of our deck, changing a window to a door off of the master bedroom and adding a deck from the master bedroom. The deck is now the favorite room in the house. The work done was of the highest quality, the craftsmen professional and the results perfect. We highly recommend Les, Dale and Dave and their team.

Effect Home Builders designed and built us a beautiful energy efficient home. This green home is extremely quiet (on a busy street), comfortable (no A/C required), includes a solar PV system (super cheap utilities) and was rated Built Green Platinum. Everything we wanted, and the staff at Effect are awesome too! Thanks guys!

Ive known the owners of Effect Homes for decades. They operate all facets of the business with honesty and integrity. As a customer, you can expect the highest levels of industry knowledge (award winning green building practices) combined with customer service and satisfaction.

Our experience with Effect Home Builders was excellent. They made us feel at home, were always professional and very responsive to our needs. Effect is a great company to deal with!

Effect helped make our move to Canada more enjoyable. They were professional, approachable and worked to address any concerns that we identified. They earned our trust and appreciation.

We found Effect to be very responsive and professional. Integrity was very important to them and they always followed through on their promises. Our experience with Effect was extremely positive!

We found Effect to be very friendly, knowledgeable and professional in our dealings with the company. There was always great communication between us. Very happy with our interactions.

My company, Salisbury Landscaping, has worked alongside Effect on a few landscape projects. They build incredible homes, are accommodating to work with, and have fantastic customers. We are proud to be associated with them.

Our experience with Effect was fantastic! They were always friendly, considerate and extremely proactive in dealing with our concerns

EcoSynergy was actively involved in the design charrettes for the Belgravia Green Net Zero Energy project as an energy advisor and consulted with the team of professionals during the design. We also went on to complete the Energuide labeling and air leakage testing for all 3 projects. It was exciting and motivating working with the Effect team as we shared the common goal of making the homes as efficient as possible (NZE). In the end the project was a success with the middle home producing more energy than it consumes (Net Positive). Effect is an environmental leader in residential construction, with creative approaches in reaching high performance targets for their homes. Effect team has always been very receptive to constructive criticism as they always want to improve their practices. We had a great synergy working together and are looking forward to working with them again.

Impressed with the quality of their builds, their association with the Mike Holmes group, and their commitment to sustainability and efficiency

These guys are top of the line house builders

Lots of foamy soap to clean our vehicle.

Great builder with a great business philosophy
