This was my first time doing major home renovations. After getting a few other quotes, I decided to work with Dan. He gave me the best "vibe" and agreed to come with me to apply for the city permit. He guided me through the whole process, he was present on site, calling me with updates and progress reports. He was a dream to work with and his team was very professional. Thank you Dan! I love my new addition 😊

This is our second time using Alba home service on one of our properties and am pleased to say they that the work was completed in three days with little inconvenience to our tenants. I am uploading the project from start to finish.

I have a roof leak from last night's rain storm. Fairly new roof, changed in the summer of 2018. After a friend's referral I called the owner, Dan. He was honest in conversation and advised me to request the original roofer who could fix the leak faster than anyone else. In my opinion, I think Dan was very honest and not greedy to take my business. I'll definitely call him for any future renovation or repair work of my home.

We contracted Alba to replace the siding on our house and address some eavestrough issues. Dan did a very good assessment, understood the issues we were facing, and provided a fair quotation for the job. Given that the replacement of siding is weather dependent, the job started earlier than we anticipated and was completed in a reasonable time. The crew assigned to us, lead by Shawn, did an excellent job. They were professional, hard-working, friendly, efficient, timely, and tidy. Shawn always made us aware of their progress and let us know if they would be late or absent due to impending weather issues. While there were some complications uncovered during the job, Shawn and Dan provided detailed explanations and offered several solutions. All the issues were resolved satisfactorily. The job looks great and we have received many complements from neighbours and passers-by.Dan and Shawn's team provided great service and obviously cared about the work they were doing and were anxious to provide customer satisfaction. I would have no hesitation in contracting Alba for future work on my home. Similarly, I would definitely recommend Alba Home Services.

Dan and the Alba Home Services team did a fantastic job of upgrading our siding. I called three siding contractors for an estimate. They all told me that they were overwhelmed with work and did not bother to show up.Dan from Alba was the only contractor with the courtesy to discuss the work completion timeline and provide a quote.The Alba Homes crew were very accommodating, polite, and we felt comfortable having them around our property.At the end of each workday, the contractors cleaned up the work area so that we could carry on with our lives. The job was completed within the timeframe specified.

We hired Alba to redo the siding on our home and I could not be happier. Excellent service, always on time and Dan (the foreman) was there everyday checking on the progress and keeping us informed and he went above and beyond to make sure we were satisfied. Will definitly use them again for our next project. Very good prices too.

Alba Home Services was contracted to replace our home’s aluminum siding, soffit, fascia, gutters, five windows and the rear patio door. Major structural reconstruction of the chimney surround was also required due to extensive water damage. Alba also applied a layer of insulation sheathing board under the new vinyl siding. Workmanship by Patrick, Frank and the other members of their team was first-rate as was their customer-oriented approach to getting the project done. The professionalism and integrity that Dan brought to his dealings with us was of the first order. The work was completed on schedule and within budget, and we would not hesitate to engage Alba for future renovations.

We have hired Alba for many projects over the years. When hiring Alba you speak directly with the owner of the company who responds promptly to any emails or phone calls, which is hard to find these days.. that is why we stick with them. We have recommended Alba to many neighbours who have hired them and have the same feedback on workmanship and the owners commitment to his clients. Highly recommend them.

I asked Dan to replace our home’s aging aluminum siding with vinyl siding. Part of the job included the addition of 1.5 inch rigid polyisocyanurate insulation sheathing board. This meant the strapping and vinyl siding would extend further out, but Patrick was able to install window capping which looks great. The material was chosen with care, but more importantly the installation was very professionally done by Patrick and Frank. For example the seams are hardly visible. Dan was frequently on site and patiently answered my many questions. I asked to have the garage door frame capped as well. They took the extra time to complete this unscheduled task. This team was very friendly and skillful. I would highly recommend Alba Home Services. I have already consulted with Dan about our next renovation.

They did some work on my siding in August 2018. It popped out in 2019 :(. They sent their troupes to the rescue to fix it free of charge and we could have a nice chat about other issues I might have with my sidings =D. All and all they are pros and not intimidating. I enjoy working with these guys.

Dan and his team ( Patrick and Frank) did a great job on my soffits and facias. They were very professional and very patient with my many questions; they offered options and recommendations which they were happy to discuss. I also appreciated their end of the day cleanup. I would definitely call on Dan again in the future.

Dan and his team went above and beyond doing our basement project. This was our first major renovation and we were not sure what to expect. Dan was very patient, he offered insightful advice and truly took the time to make sure everything ran smoothly and the project turned out beautifully. We will 100% be using them again in the future for our next project. Very professional, clean, very responsive and truly accountable. Can’t say enough good things about Alba homes!

The Alba team did a super job of building me a new deck. Dan's approach to his customers is very professional. He takes the time to listen and has great input to the project in hand. His team were also very approachable and accommodating. Clean-up at the end of each day was great.I highly recommend Alba Home Services and will not hesitate to consult with them first before any new ventures.

Friendly, professional service and great quality work. They did an amazing job on our new eavesdropping.
More Customer Testimonials:
“Alba Home Services did an excellent job in a very difficult situation. The owner Dan Asllani is very knowledgeable and professional and even though the job had uncertainties, he provided no surprise estimates. We found the workmen to be very professional and courteous. The work lasted over a week and every evening, they left the site as if they had not been there. A big huge thanks for an excellent job!”
“Alba Home Services replaced a couple of pieces of soffit that had come loose and were damaged as well as replacing vent covers that were cracking and/or missing. When they came to provide a quote, they noted an issue I had with the eavestrough not being extended enough and included that in the quote. They came out to perform the work and were complete professionals and I am very pleased with the work. While repairing the soffit, they noticed that I didn’t have drip edge installed and recommended it be installed to prevent water from getting between the shingles and the eavestrough and provided a quote but didn’t pressure me to do the work. I ended up having them do the work at the same time as it made sense and the quote was reasonable. At the same time, they noticed a minor issue with another part of the eavestrough and fixed the issue at no additional cost which I really appreciated.
Dan provided great service from the first moment I contacted him. I called him on a Saturday and he was able to come out within a couple of hours to provide a quote. Within a couple of weeks, Dan contacted me and was able to complete the work earlier than expected and both him and his team did a great job. Dan was very knowledgeable and explained everything and answered all questions and concerns I had. I appreciated that he took the time to bring a few items to my attention that I hadn’t realized and did so without any sales pressure – he simply just wanted to provide a great service and ensure I was aware of potential issues that I may need to look at in the future.
I would definitely recommend Alba Home Services.”
“My wife and I cannot properly express how pleased we were with the work that your crew did for us. They were polite and professional, the work was done on time and properly. We had taken our house off the market as the work was done, and it sold just after your work was finished, before we could re-list it. The buyers were impressed enough by the appearance of the house to offer close to our asking price, just by the appearance.”
“Alba Home Services redid my roof shingles. They also did Siding repairs. They were very professional and clean in doing the job. Dan and his crew were methodical in the installation with Dan keep me in the loop as to how the progress was going. They kept to the cost agreed upon, no hidden surprises and the roof and the siding look great. I would recommend them anyone who needs any kind of home renovation done.”
“Great work, very detail oriented, very reliable, always on time and will definitely use this company again for other projects.”
“We purchased a 100 year old building in Ottawa and we initially hired Alba to renovate the rear exterior (replace siding, doors and windows and restore brickwork) of the house. We decided to do important improvements inside the house after that, and we felt comfortable working with Alba again. The collaboration with the owner and with the crew was very pleasant, the communications always clear and their work ethic is outstanding. The Alba Home Services team has helped us get the major, most important renovations done in a reasonable amount of time. We plan to work with them again in the future.”
“Alba was recommended by a contractor that I have used over ten years for various projects. I was not disappointed with Alba. They suggested a drip edge to prevent curling of the edges of the shingles. The cleanup was excellent as well…”
“Fast and efficient service – no pressure. The quotation provided was accurate and adhered to; the on-site workers were capable and left the site clean when they completed the work.”
