Please find another builder. Although Sloot claims be a 'custom' builder, they continue to take on more than this small company can chew. Due to the fact they have overextended themselves with projects beyond their scope (high density development, apartment buildings), they will NOT offer the personalized experience and attention to detail promised. Sloot construction is notorious for not paying their trades in a timely fashion and their invoicing practices are deplorable. They rest on the fact that they belong to Energy Star, an organization that has limited auditing procedures, although they have very limited understanding of the most current Energy Star requirements. As the home owner, I was constantly correcting their old standards to ensure they met the minimum requirements. Sloot owner, John Sloot's arrogance was matched only by his ignorance of the current Ontario building code. Countless inspections failed and Sloot did the bare minimum to pass, actually uttering the words 'we usually get away with it' to the owners. There are fine, true custom home builders in the area, hire one and leave Sloot to deal with their lawsuits and ever diminishing credibility.
