Basement Renovations and New Development

Changing a room can be as simple as painting it or it can be quite extensive. Chances are you're coming to us for work that requires a team of professionals. The key to our success is careful planning. While your renovation takes place, we keep the area as free of dust and debris as possible. After all, you're living in the house while it's a work in progress! We work hard to plan your renovation in such a way that you don't need to move out while the work is being done.
On this site you'll find more than one gallery featuring the Cardinal Residence. They have called us back time and again to make updates to their lakeside home. At this time, there is scarcely a corner that hasn't been touched, but they don't appear inclined to stop.
Just take a Before and After peek at the exteriors below, and you'll get an idea of how extensively they've modified their home. The interiors are similarly dramatically changed.

Exterior Renovations

Exterior Renos

Your home's exterior is a reflection of you to neighbours and friends. Today we are fortunate to have more choices than ever before in materials that will enhance and improve the appearance of your house. Today's materials resist fading by the sun more effectively and are structurally stronger. They include a tremendous variety of vinyl siding in new colours, cement siding, modern stucco, brick and cultured stone. Most people immediately think of traditional three-tab asphalt shingles for a roof, but you may want to consider cedar shakes, various kinds of metal roofing, slate and composite slate. Don't forget the windows and exterior window trim. The right choices will change the overall look and feel of a home. Let our expert design team guide you through the many choices available to create a custom look for your house that is a true reflection of you.

Design Services

Architects and Designers

If you're like most of our clients, you're coming to us with little more than a rough idea of the changes you'd like to make to your home. To help you create exactly the change you're looking for, we offer full design services with an Architect and Designer. Every project requires some level of design service, but it's possible that your project won't require full architectural services.

The pre-planning phase of your project is very important. If you choose to get prices from several contractors, make sure you aren't comparing apples to oranges. Our design plans are to your specifications using top quality materials and expert workmanship. The use of precise methods and beautiful, durable materials will affect the final price of your project. You could receive wildly different estimates from several contractors. The difference will be in the details -- very important details that are critical to the success of your project.
Design and planning is the most important part of the building process. Unfortunately, it's usually the least appreciated and understood.

Design work incorporates the skills of both Architect and Designer. The Architect assures that all mechanical and functional aspects of the structure meet safety and local building code requirements. The Designer focuses on appropriate use of space, the choice of materials and colors to enhance your living environment.
