eQ Better Basements

The foundation to a better home starts from the ground up. At eQ Homes, we go above and beyond the standard to build basements that are drier, healthier and an integral part of your living space. Our basements are engineered with superior insulation and vapour barrier to retain heat and prevent moisture penetration, all of which translates into a basement that your family can actually use and enjoy all year round.

Giving Back

Our purpose is to enrich lives by creating great places to live, work and play, and we believe in doing the right thing. That's why supporting charitable organizations in our communities is so important to us.

As part of our commitment to reducing our environmental impact, eQ Homes sponsors reforestation through Tree Canada, the only national non-profit organization dedicated to planting and nurturing trees in rural and urban environments.

After tornadoes hit Ottawa in 2018, we donated to Tree Canada’s ReLeaf program to help local homeowners replant trees that were damaged by the storm. We are also proud to sponsor Tree Canada's Greening Canada's School Grounds grant, providing funds for local children to plant trees on their school's property.

Through our partnership, Tree Canada will ensure that the health and beauty of our environment will endure by planting new trees for every home we build.

For eQ Homes, building homes is about more than bricks and mortar. It’s about designing and constructing safe communities and homes, which is something we share with Habitat for Humanity Greater Ottawa, an organization that builds affordable homes that provide a solid foundation for local families. Partnering with Habitat has been an extension of the community building we do every day and we are honoured to be among their many loyal supporters.

Visit Habitat for Humanity Great Ottawa to learn more about how they help local families.

eQ Homes has partnered with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Ottawa (BBBSO), including becoming title sponsor for their flagship fundraising event, the annual eQ Homes Big Tee Off golf tournament. BBBSO offers a variety of mentorship focused programs for local youth with a wide range of backgrounds and needs, including their flagship “Big Brother” and “Big Sister” mentoring programs, and the newly established PRISM mentoring program for LGBTQIA2S+ youth. By matching caring adult volunteers with at-risk youth, they facilitate meaningful and life-changing relationships that often last for many years. Our support for these initiatives fit perfectly with eQ Homes’ goal to enrich the lives of people living in the communities we build.
