Our home was originally a 1950 side split with many stairs, drafty windows and one bathroom. Our family of five didn’t grow into it as easily as we thought it would. Especially with a young son with special needs. We hired Sustainable.TO Architecture + Building after years of carrying around old newspaper articles on the work the company did. Our leads were Paul Dowsett and Steve Socha and we couldn’t have been happier. They patiently reviewed our endless requirement lists, Houzz photo files and our need to see everything on paper in order to understand the vision. We ended up with a beautiful home which accomodates our current lifestyle and will allow us to continue meeting the needs of our special needs son. As well, whether we believe it or not may age one day too... Steve and Paul were especially educated in helping us understand and decide on the many seen, and unseen, energy efficient features. Our energy bills and maintenance of the home have already proven to be our favourite features of the house. They were also extremely knowledgeable and professional when aiding us at the Committee of Adjustment meetings where they provided a professional fact heavy presentation to the town in order for them to understand why we had many of the features we were asking approval for. We truly feel that our home would not look or work the way it does without this initial hurdle conquered by Paul and Steve. Overall we would highly recommend Sustainable.TO. for big or small projects because the value they add to the efficiency and beauty of your project will be enjoyed for many years to come. Sustainable.TO provides beautiful designs that blend what you've dreamed about and add incredible behind the wall features to ensure the structure itself will keep you safe and warm for your life time and in our case our children’s.

We hired Mario and his crew (John & Rene) to repaint our home top to bottom. The attention to detail ensuring the walls were properly prepped for paint, floors protected, and paint colour just right was beyond our expectations. We went through five versions of 'Simply White' before finding the perfect shade and we couldn't be happier. John & Rene were considerate, hardworking, and always on time. Our project was not only beautifully finished but ahead of schedule. we Would highly recommend Mario and his Lakehurst crew.
