An R-2000 structural insulated panel (SIP)
house which was bought by the first family
to view it!
Built in 1991 near Ottawa, the careful
design and site preparation means that
it is probably the only home in the neighbourhood
which never has to use a sump pump. The
R-2000 features include not only energy
savings and greater efficiency every year
but also cleaner, healthier air and a quieter
home. |

A
typical renovation project - a 100 year+ home
near Kingston.
2001: As well as a new oil tank and electrics
to meet insurance requirements, this home
has benefitted from new windows and doors,
drainage tile (for the first time!), new
bathrooms and kitchen together with the enhanced
plumbing and electrics as well as new roofs,
insulation, ventilation and siding. We also
did extensive landscaping and fixed the septic
system.

Another
extensive restoration project - an 1840 stone
home near Stirling.
1996:
Undoing the ravages of time and even use
as a chicken house, we replaced the roof
and entire main floor, the plumbing, electrics,
fireplace and chimney and baseboard heaters.
With the advice of one of Canada’s
leading restoration architects, two dormer
windows and a board-and-batten addition were
added as well as a complete drainage system
with comprehensive landscaping (moving, and
adding, trees and shrubs, regrading and hydroseeding
the three acre lawns, building an outdoor
patio and pond with a waterfall, finishing
with cedar post and rail fencing.) |

A
complete, new log home, complete with a sunlight
basement, garage and workshop - overlooking
Lake of the Woods in Kenora.
1976: With a wood-burning furnace and an
energy-efficient, stone fireplace, this three
bedroom, two bathroom home has given many
years of inexpensive warmth and pleasure.

A
project in downtown Kingston.
2002:
This 1918 home was structurally sound (we
checked as a part of our service!) but
needed the ‘usual’ improvements
to make it safe and efficient.

A
major renovation project in downtown Ottawa.
1985: From complete new floors, bathrooms,
kitchen, plumbing and electrics, conversion
to more energy-efficient gas heating and
hot water, through new windows, insulation
and siding, even stained glass and raised
flower beds, this much improved home doubled
in value and was quickly sold to an appreciative
buyer.

A
Carleton Place reconstruction.
1989: Improved health for the residents
through installation of a basement drainage
system, new windows, kitchen, bathroom, insulation
and siding (as well as happiness from a large
workshop addition!)

An
1840 limestone apartment building in Sydenham
Ward, (downtown) Kingston.
2000-2003: We managed this building throughout
the project so that the complete redesign
and improvement of the six apartments, the
heating and electrical systems not only kept
the tenants happy but also raised the revenues
25%, the value by 33% and reduced the utility
costs by over 50%.
