Our Story
Horizon Eco Builders Inc. was founded by Simon Druart and Thomas DuBoyce. United by a shared commitment to genuine sustainability over greenwashing, a passion for preserving homes rather than demolishing them, and a desire to make a positive impact on both the planet and society, these principles have formed the core of our company.
“Renovating and maintaining are powerful sustainable practices, enhancing space quality, boosting property value, and adapting to evolving needs. Regular maintenance not only ensures sustained functionality and prevents costly repairs but also preserves the embodied history of the space—a wise investment for homeowners and a legacy for future generations.” Simon Druart - Co Founder
