Sloan Construction

We chose Sloan Construction for our basement remodel and finish and were very pleased with experience from start to finish. During the early/initial bid process they brought in the best local subs including excavators, plumbers, electricians and steel workers to work through the designs with us and put together an honest and realistic bid. We had other GCs come to bid – we chose Sloan because they listened to what we were trying to achieve and helped us manage both our creative and financial expectations. Our project included a breadth of work from significant structural work with steel and concrete to interior carpentry for framing and stair construction through finishing work on bathrooms and room interiors. What impressed us most about Sloan construction was the quality of the craftsmen they brought in at each phase of the project, from the great team that managed the steel install, to the carpenter that specialized in stair construction, to the highly skilled carpenter that installed an impeccable finish. Managing all of these specialist and subs was a fantastic on-site ‘super’ who was extremely friendly, accommodating of our schedule, kept us informed of progress and managed our site professionally. All the workmen were very friendly, tidy and respectful, and Hanna and Dave Sloan were never far away to make sure our expectations were being met. We couldn’t have been happier with both quality of work, the pace, the professionalism and deep construction knowledge of the Sloan team and were ultimately thrilled with the outcome. We will work with Sloan Construction again.

I'd probably give them 5.5 or 6 stars if I could. It's not that there weren't problems here and there, because that happens on every project. It's that Sloan (Dave and all of his team) were incredibly honest, forthright, courteous, and responsive. For example, managing sub-contractors in this booming economy is very challenging. Sloan was very good at it, and when there were flaky subs, Sloan remedied the problem quickly. The workers were all highly skilled and the areas Sloan worked on are now the prettiest and highest quality in the house. They did a great job protecting the good vintage elements of our 1928 Newlands house while modernizing and beautifying it. The billing was transparent and detailed. I have enthusiastically recommended Sloan to friends, and will continue to do so. They do it the right way, and have earned their great reputation.

What a great team of professionals! Everyone at Sloan Construction I met with and spoke to during my project was knowledgeable, courteous, and most importantly, honest. They offered creative solutions and options that fit my budget. When we were faced with an unexpected issue on site they handled it as a challenge, not as a problem. Every step of the way Sloan Construction was attentive to my budget and the construction timeline. Very communicative and transparent throughout the entire process. Compared to other builders and general contractors' work, Sloan Construction's level of execution and craftsmanship really stands out. Highly recommend the team of Sloan Construction!

My wife and I have used Sloan for construction projetcs for several years including a major remodel of a home purchased about three years ago. They sat down with us and our designer to make sure every aspect of the work would be scheduled in a manner that was least disruptive. They have expert craft labor for every aspect of the project including carpentry, electical, mechanical, plumbing and work with the suppliers directly so that everything is onsite when it is needed. Their management team is actively involved in the project and responds quickly to any questions or tweaks that are inevitable in any project. I would highy recommed them for any project needs.

Very simply put, Dave, Hanna, and all of the Sloan team do excellent work AND they are great to work with. They embody their company slogan “Be nice, do good (I’d say excellent) work.” They put a premium on transparency and outstanding communication so that you always know what is happening with the work. They are also happy to work closely with their clients on the budget. We could not be happier with the finished job and with having selected Sloan.
