Healthy Home Center

A few months ago I called several asbestos abatement companies for quotes and Gabriel Zaragoza at Healthy Home Center was the only one to answer the phone directly and arrange for a prompt site visit to provide a quote. All details as to the removal and disposal process were explained in great detail, plus Gabriel was able to do the work within a few days of calling him. Gabriel performed this particular work personally along with the help of several crew members, and everything was completed professionally and on schedule as estimated. He even provided a copy of his disposal receipt from the waste site to verify that the asbestos tiles were disposed of properly. I can highly recommend his services.

In the spring of 2017, I discovered a serious mold issue in my newly purchased home. It was undetectable at the time of purchase, and I had been getting sick but had no idea why. I was forced to leave my home while air quality testing was conducted. Five types of mold were detected at amplified levels, and Gabriel was recommended for the remediation work by Indoor Air Quality Ottawa. Thank goodness for that!! Gabriel's level of professionalism, knowledge, expertise, dedication, honesty, care, compassion and communication throughout this project was something you just don't experience that much nowadays, and was a breath of fresh air (pardon the pun!). He and his amazing staff did the initial cleaning of my home, then the major remediation work and finally the rebuild of perimeter walls in my basement with new insulation and drywall. It was so impressive! His crew were dedicated, super-polite and respectful and took incredible care with my furniture and possessions, as if they were working on their own home. Under such stressful circumstances, it was a huge relief to have "an angel" like Gabriel working on my behalf. Beyond satisfied and beyond grateful! -Janet P.

We were very concerned when we found mould in our basement while removing insulation, and even more concerned when we realized that the mould spores had been inadvertently spread throughout our home.

Thank goodness for Gabriel and his team who were beyond amazing. Gabriel was patient when explaining the mould remediation work to us, and throughout the process he was available to answer questions and address concerns. To say they were thorough is a real understatement. They cleaned the home from top to bottom using only cleaners that were safe for use with our young daughter who has chronic breathing problems and asthma.

The bulk of the work was done in our basement, where they cleaned and isolated our HVAC while safely removed the remaining insulation, spray-treating the studs and joists, and wiped down or hepa vacuumed all of our surfaces and basement storage. They even went so far as to individually wipe each DVD case.

They were respectful of our space, they went above and beyond in their work, and most importantly the completion air testing showed that the air throughout our home was probably the cleanest it had ever been.

We would not hesitate to recommend them!

The basement of our new home was not properly insulated which resulted in moisture and mold growth. The builder opened the vapour barrier in many places without sealing the basement off properly from the rest of the house allowing mold spores to escape into the rest of the house. Having a infant at home made this situation even more stressful since his health could be compromised. Fortunately, Gabriel from Healthy Home Center told us that his team would be cleaning the entire house and that all our son's toys would be safe to use again. When we returned home, our house was extremely clean, in fact it was cleaner than the day that I got the keys to move into our brand-new home in the first place. We are extremely grateful to Gabriel and his team for making our home a safe and healthy place for our baby to live in. Thank you so much Gabriel!

From the very beginning Gabriel, the owner of Healthy Home Environmental Solutions (HHES) impressed us with a favourable business and cooperative approach to remedying the odour and the mould in our basement. The proposal included the work to be performed and the price. In fact, the basement was a mini construction site. At the end there was no surprise: he delivered what he promised plus more at the price h quoted. His employees ( who were non smokers) worked quietly and efficiently. At the end of the day, the odour and the mould were eradicated.
My wife has an allergy and during work Gabriel would check to make sure any components he may have to use did not affect the allergy.

Gabriel and his crew were excellent to work with. Gabriel's approach is honest and genuine. You can tell that he really cares and take pride in his work. They completed a large basement demolition and clean up for us and we are very happy with the results. They worked very hard to complete it on time right before Christmas. Despite Gabriel being very busy, I could always reach him if we had concerns or questions. He took the time to address all of our concerns and investigation other issues that arose. We will look to continue working with this company to refinish the basement and clean up the attic.

Gabriel and his team were absolutely fantastic! Gabriel was very professional right from the first inspection for mold in our basement and was very knowledgeable in every area. He clearly explained the work that needed to be completed and kept us updated through the whole process. His team of workers were also amazing! Hard working, professional and polite, they worked non stop to complete the work for us. They discovered other issues in the basement other than the mold and really cared about doing the job right! I would highly recommend Healthy Homes Centre. I’m so glad we did not go with other companies that came in to quote... I feel as though we got excellent service from start to finish. We will be contacting Healthy Homes again to renovate the unfinished area!
Thank you and excellent work from all. It is very much appreciated!

I would highly recommend Healthy Home Centre for any job they do. Gabriel and his staff Diego did an exceptional job. Their attention to detail and commitment to give me exactly what I wanted could be matched by no other contractor that I have worked with in the past. Even when challenges arose they remained positive, friendly and helpful. They took the upmost card in my home and left it better than they found it. They cleaned up their mess not only where they were working in my home but also outside where they cut wood. I would hire them again in a second!

I was given a few names of mold remediation companies by an independent indoor air quality inspector, and called them all. From the start Gabriel really impressed me. He was prompt, honest, thorough, fair, and kind. Gabriel understood and took seriously my concerns about toxicity in cleaning products and sent me all the safety info and ingredients in products he was proposing to use well in advance. He provided a clear estimate and scope of work, and met all his commitments to me from start to finish. I hired his team to clean up my basement and crawl space, and was totally impressed by everyone: professional, courteous, considerate, conscientious, and incredibly hard working. They did an amazing job. After the job was done, when I had concerns about an area that was impossible to reach and fully clean out (and so was treated with a fogging solution), Gabriel returned to my home and went out of his way to help me understand the limits of what could be done to clean it, explain what the fogging had accomplished, provided me with extra products to manage any future issues, and then spent extra time sealing it for me. This is such a top notch company, run by wonderful people. They answered all my questions and addressed all my concerns, were honest and realistic, and went the extra mile. Thank you Gabriel and team! You made a stressful situation so much easier for me and I would highly recommend Healthy Home Center to anyone needing help with mold, dust, and other air quality issues.

We hired Healthy Home Center for mold remediation in our basement. They were friendly, professional and extremely hard working! Would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone! Wish we had hired them sooner!
