We have just completed a fairly substantial addition/renovation to our century home.
This was our first time undertaking a project like this and the whole team at Sloot went above and beyond to guide us through and make us feel comfortable.
Even when unexpected issues came up behind the walls of our very old home, they were able to find solutions that were effective, and made our home safe while keeping cost in mind.
We are truly enjoying our renewed home and would use Sloot again for future projects

I LOVE my Sloot home in Guelph. They are approachable, easy to communicate with, after service is awesome. I like that when I called for little things (and I mean little), you actually call the person that built your house. They immediately do what needs to be done in a fast manner and the quality is beyond amazing! I LOVE my house. I get compliments from every person that comes over. I would not change a thing. Sloot involves you in every step and are in constant contact. Did I mention the quality? Top Notch.
Thank you Sloot for my amazing house! I would recommend Sloot over and over.

In the last 20 years, we have built a number of "custom build" homes. We have been fortunate to have dealt with excellent contractors along the way, but, we were most impressed with the staff at Sloot Construction on our most recent new home on Zaduk Place. From the owner John Sloot, to the office staff to the trades on site, they took the time to explain every step of the way and were very informative and patient in answering all of our questions.

During construction, they were very responsive to our many questions and requests. We liked the fact that our home was not just being fabricated according to the plans, but that we were given useful advice and information along the way so that we could make decisions and changes to make the house more functional and appealing. John Sloot met with us at the house on several occasions during construction and not only were his ideas on design changes very well thought out, but they were implemented without any additional charge. Complex parts of the build were executed with care and professionalism and our home is truly "custom built".

What really stood out for me was that the team cared about the house they were building. The attention to details, the diligence and workmanship were very apparent. We are so pleased with our new home and we certainly would not hesitate to build with Sloot Construction again.

I was a little nervous about building on my own but my friends told me to consider it and it was really a lot of fun. Everyone was kind, knowledgeable and definitely skilled. They all helped guide me to the final outcome that I'm so proud of. I chose everything. I have a hard time visualizing so I was unable to determine what was going to look good, not even colours but products, putting wood against vinyl etc. The Sloot Construction team helped me achieve a beautiful home by providing input to piece all my selections together!!! Not only the Sloot's themselves but the sub contractors, I was able to meet many on site as they went over possible options and better ways. They went out of their way to try and save me money while sourcing out other products and suppliers. They made me feel so comfortable, I was making some friends in a new community! They even hung up my pictures and curtain rods after closing!!! You're all amazing!! I'm so proud of my home!!!

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.

Sloot Construction have to take the cake for being disrespectful , rude . They are involved in a small build on Law Drive . Residents of this street have endured excessive noise and traffic at all hours of the day and night related to this company . Dave Sloot - the owners brother was excavating one evening at 930 pm . When he was asked to stop the back hoe - he refused . He returned at 1130 pm later that evening and sat in the driveway of house he was " building" revving his truck for a half hour - to the dismay of many young families in the neighbourhood . When we asked to speak to owner regarding this bizzare behaviour - we were ignored . The owner couldn't be bothered to explain his brothers questionable behaviour . Other people have commented on the reviews with regards to this behaviour of this company and the people it employs and obviously with good reason . The owner of Sloot should be ashamed - your arrogance will be your downfall yet . Find a builder who cares about the community he is building in and isn't so arrogant that he can return your phone call.

Sloot Construction made the building of our home an absolute nightmare! Throughout the year-long build (which they still have yet to complete), Sloot Construction demonstrated questionable invoicing practices, an overwhelming lack of site supervision, lack of knowledge of the building code and/or Energy Star requirements, and a complete disregard for quality workmanship. The owner, John Sloot, was verbally abusive and refused to meet with the home owners to resolve outstanding issues created by Sloot Construction. PLEAS FIND ANOTHER BUILDER TO BUILD YOUR HOME...STAY AWAY FROM SLOOT CONSTRUCTION!!

Yes, I got "Slooted" as well. I had the same horrible experience with this builder. Lies, unbelievable poor quality, threats, deception, a complete disaster. There is nothing done crappy enough that doesn't pass this builders inspection. Good thing for building inspectors as my place failed over a dozen inspections. Unfortunately my "new" home became a patch work of repairs. Not once did Mr. Sloot stand up for his mistakes or sub-standard workmanship. All I heard was "that's your opinion" (even though my opinion was substantiated by engineers or experts) or the other favorite is "it is what it is" (meaning, ya he screwed up, but doesn't care and doesn't plan on making it right). Beware especially what you can't see and he has hid behind drywall or covered up in other ways. The worst experience of my life.

BUYER BEWARE! Sloot Construction failed almost every inspection throughout the building of our home and demonstrated a lack of understanding of the Ontario Building Code, EnergyStar requirements and basic business practices. The owner utilized bait and switch tactics on countless occasions and the lack of attention to detail and pride of workmanship was astounding. Too many deficiencies to list.
Sloot unequivocally made the building of our home the worst experience of my life.
