The 1st Choice Home Solutions Team

We know how stressful planning a renovation can be and how important it is to get it done right.

How can you be sure you’re getting a good product for a fair price or that it will be installed correctly? If you have a problem will they be there for you in the future?

Coming from 3 generations of home contractors we’ve seen it all and helped 100’s of homeowners in London & area. Each and every product in our line up is carefully vetted by the owner Glen for quality, durability, warranty & the manufacturer’s customer service.

It isn’t enough to just replace your windows or your roof, we want you to get high quality materials, feel communicated with & comfortable throughout your project.

We visit you for accurate in-person measurements & take the time to chat with you about your needs as well as bringing samples and photos. Behind your renovation, a whole office team works together to make your renovation happen smoothly from financial details to production keeping you informed & your materials tracked. Our final inspections top it all off to double check workmanship & address any concerns you may have.

Decades down the line, you can still be confident our products will be working hard for you. A renovation with the 1st Choice Home Solutions team will leave you feeling secure and confident in your home.

(Not to mention tons of compliments from neighbours!)

From initial appointment to final inspection, the real scoop comes from our customers. Check out what they have to say:

“ This is my 2nd time using 1st Choice Home Solutions for my roof, the 1st time was 2015. This company is my go-to as I’m very comfortable with how they do business. They are in constant communication with their clients, ensure satisfaction and use solid materials to get the job done. A special thanks to Glen for his knowledge of the business and for answering every question and concern I’ve ever had. Keep up the great work, I’ll be calling you again in the future! ”

"1st Choice Home Solutions provides excellent quality for a very reasonable price. We had a metal roof installed and we were able to get financing as well. The crew completed the job in 1.5 days, were very courteous, and cleaned up before they left. We plan to use 1st Choice again when we replace our siding. I would 100% recommend."

"Absolutely the first and only people you should talk too about your metal roof. Glen and his staff are top notch pros! If your HOME means as much to you as ours does to my family, why take any chances! Established, professional, fast, courteous...you really can’t ask for more. If I could give 10 stars I would. Do yourself a favour and get 1st Choice Home Solutions...you’ll be happy you did! (We are:) Thank you guys The Brown Family"

"1st Choice Home Solutions installed 8 windows, a sliding glass door and a steel shingle roof on our home. Their quotes were very competitive and the products were of high quality. Our sales person Glen was very knowledgeable, friendly and didn't pressure us into making any decisions. He was candid and detailed with advice, providing us multiple product options while explaining the pros and cons of each. We were given an accurate overview of the install process and what to expect. Our sliding glass door and 8 windows were install in less than a day, as was our steel shingle roof on a separate day. The crews that completed the installations were very quick, polite and produced professional looking results. Debris was collected and removed before each crew left. We were kept informed during the whole process and were contacted to setup install dates that worked for us. Upon completion, Glen came out for a final inspection and ensured we had no further concerns or questions. It's been a great experience from start to finish and I can strongly recommend 1st Choice Home Solutions."
