My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Re solar system:

11 years ago
Who was your solar panel contractor?

Is this generating power in partnership with the F.T.T. system?

    Hi there,
    The PV system was installed by Avacos Solar - http://www.avacos.ca/
    The system was registered in the MicroFIT program here in Ontario, Canada - http://microfit.powerauthority.on.ca/about-microfit.
    I'm not sure what the F.T.T. system is, sorry.

    Thanks so much for this info, Kyle. We contacted Avacos and will arrange for an assessment of our house for solar.

    I meant to type the MicroFIT system. Must wear my reading glasses. :)
