First snow will be here before we know it.

We finished this custom home last December and had it photographed in the snow. Dark board-and-batten siding, timber detail on the gables and a long covered porch across the back.

Winter is the honest test for any house. The parts that matter most in January are the ones you never see: insulation, air sealing, flashing and a roof built to shed snow. Get those right and the house stays warm, dry and quiet. Get them wrong and you find out every winter.

Building in the next year or two? Send us a message and we'll talk it through.

Need more space but don't want to move? Build up.

This bungalow got a fully legal, fully separate second-storey unit. It has its own exterior staircase around back, and upstairs there are two good-sized bedrooms with closets, a full bathroom, a kitchen and in-unit laundry.

We're seeing more families go this route. Kids moving back home, parents moving in, or a unit that helps carry the mortgage. With what houses cost right now, adding a floor can make more sense than starting over somewhere else.

The room that makes fall worth it at the lake.

On this Kawarthas build, the covered porch was planned as a real room, not an afterthought. Stone fireplace, timber posts, a wood ceiling and fans, with big sliders straight back into the house. When the wind picks up off the water in the fall, this is still where everyone ends up.

One question we ask on every cottage project: three-season or year-round? It changes how you plan spaces like this, and it's a lot easier to decide on paper than after the fact.

Bare lot to finished waterfront home in the Kawarthas.

This one started the way most waterfront builds do: trees down, ground opened up, and a lot of work nobody sees in the final photos. Clearing, grading, foundation, then the frame going up with snow still on the ground.

The part people notice is the stone, the timber entry and the view. The part that matters most is everything underneath it. Get the bones right and the rest of the house has something solid to stand on.

Thinking about building on the water? Send us a message and we'll walk you through how we start.

New water line going in today.

What's actually happening in the trench:
- The blue pipe is polyethylene. Blue is the standard colour for drinking water — nobody can mix it up with the other lines underground.
- It sits about six feet down, below the frost line, so it can't freeze.
- The green line running beside it is the existing sewer, marked out so we know exactly where it runs.
- Poly pipe doesn't rust or corrode like the old metal lines it replaces, and it flexes with the ground instead of cracking.

This one's part of a bigger job: full renovation, exterior waterproofing, new basement work, decks. The underground part goes first, before any of it can move.

Dad was on site for this one.

Concrete base going down for a natural stone patio. Still lots to come — new railings and landscape lighting to finish it.

This is just what we do for our amazing customers.

The full list, one page — homes and cottages.

Outside taps first. Then irrigation, gutters, furnace, sump pump, and the cottage closing steps.

We post this every October. Print it and put it on the fridge.

Same addition project as the walkthrough — the stills version.

Trusses up, interior walls framed, plumbing roughed in. The big opening in the back wall frames the lawn, the old barn, and the lake. That view is the whole reason the addition sits where it sits.

Windows next. Then we close it in before the weather turns.

From the exterior through to the finished interior, this was a great custom build to see come together in the Kawartha Lakes.
