Renovation in Rawdon.
Our foothold in Lanaudière.
The buildings here
Permanent homes and cottages, often on uneven lots or close to the water. Many buildings that were put up in stages over the decades: an extension in the seventies, a sunroom in the nineties, an attached garage later on.
What we're asked for most
Redoing an aging foundation before it becomes a structural problem. Turning a seasonal cottage into a home that can be lived in year-round. Adding an annex or a porch designed to hold up in winter, not only in summer.
The area's own constraint
A building enlarged three times in forty years doesn't have one structure, it has three. Each section has its own foundation, its own construction method and its own age, and the connections between them are rarely documented. Before touching anything, you have to understand where the load really goes today, which almost never matches the original plans, when they still exist.
It's time invested up front that many contractors skip, and it's exactly where bad surprises get triggered mid-project.
The short season. Everything touching a foundation or an exterior structure is planned around frost. A project decided in April for the coming summer is a project that's already late.
So, what are we working on?
Eight questions, two minutes. We call you back to talk it through, and we tell you frankly whether it's a project for us or whether you'd be better served elsewhere.
