An old house in Westboro was suffering from a leaky and rotten bay window that was replaced with this dual, double hung unit that required and extension to the existing framing and a new small roof over the extension. LED exterior lights were also added in the soffit for nighttime effect.
A young couple with a utility wall in their basement wanted to hide an electrical panel and plumbing and create more storage. This simple, double door closet was exactly what they wanted.
A roughed-in bathroom that was never completed got the finishing touches with subfloor leveling, drywall, electrical and ceramic/marble tiles with heated floors, making a once unused space a tiny oasis. Craftsman trim and a glass door were added later.
A client selling her house needed to quickly fix the tired old linoleum, which we ripped out and then strengthened the subfloor before adding fresh laminate planks and new trim and mouldings.

A cottage owner who’s old deck rotted away requested a design and build replacement. This 24 x 16 deck with a 45-degree angle and simple steps to allow for maximum deck space was made from treated pine. Steps have mitered corners and top is “picture framed” to conceal all cuts from the top boards. Built on 6×6 posts on 12-inch concrete tubes supported by 2×12 cross beams and 2×8 joists, this deck will last 25 years or more.
A senior couple with a cottage near Westport were looking for easy access to their waterfront, several steps down from their cottage. These landings, steps and railings proved to be the ideal solution.
Designed and built by Derek McNaughton, this stout and sturdy 75-inch wide by 88-inch tall all-pine four-door hutch is made to exacting standards. Painted cloud white, with clear pine backing, the interior cupboards are left unpainted for a natural pine smell every time one of the doors is opened.
A client wanted something to put her 43-inch TV into and something to conceal the cable and stereo boxes. This 60-inch x 73 inch TV cabinet, all hand-cut, took her breath away. Painted in “farmhouse” ancient grey, the cabinet was exactly what the customer wanted.
A young couple in Westboro asked if their old porch could be restored. It couldn’t. The boards were rotten all the way through, even the posts. This simple deck and stairs is a replica of what was there before, which is exactly what the customer wanted.
A landlord in Vanier had some water leaks from the rental unit above the lower bachelor unit. Well beyond the patch repair requested for the unit, the rental was given a brand new ceiling, later painted flat white.
