Residential Services
Changing and updating windows styles or configurations, adding colour, or a key feature like a stylish new front entry can really make a positive impact on the look and value of your home.
Whether your home is relatively new or a century old we are as comfortable performing work on each. We have conducted thousands of projects from full window and siding make-overs to as simple as lowering that window opening over the kitchen countertop for a better view of the birds or to keep an eye on the grandchildren. We can perform insert installations, complete replacements, creating and altering openings, retrofitting skylights and more.
In three decades, we have completed projects in almost every setting where customers have wanted to achieve everything from an updated modern look or to keep the historical look and warmth. We have a variety of trim choices including newer styles or we can replicate those older historical offerings.
During every installation, we keep a keen eye on energy performance and water management to meet the current building & energy codes.

Whether working off suspended scaffolds, or working from booms and scissor lifts, our dedicated staff will safely make access to conduct work with the highest regard for detail and performance.
Envelope Investigations & Restorations
All Building Envelopes have a life span because of duration of all the materials that make up the entire assembly. A building’s placement, height, material choice and quality, water management detailing, and exposure to weather have a great deal to say about the longevity of the envelope. Occasionally this is expediated due to poor executing at the outset and/or the failure of components.
We have helped clients uncover and repair, maintain, or fully replace envelope workings on both small and large scales. This often can start with the discovery of an issue or planned investigations to gauge fitness for future budgeting of works.
We can quickly respond to situations, assess, report on with recommendations, and execute everything from preventative measures and maintenance to a full execution of restorations. Where working within and around occupied premises is a core activity, we seamlessly give occupants the attention required. We cover surfaces and mindful of site housekeeping of the new and old materials as workings are completed.
Siding & Cladding Work
Our siding work has encompassed homes and buildings of all styles throughout the Halifax region for decades. We have installed various vinyl offerings and details, aluminum, wooden clapboards, wooden shakes, wooden channels, fiber cement sidings and panels, stone features, PVC millwork, and architectural steel sidings and trims. We can employ various Rain-Screening methods and the best suited for the siding product and structure. We can provide heavier gauges of custom flashing and details that cannot be formed on the average break. In shop we have replicated various historical brackets and details to be sealed on all sides before being installed on the project.
On larger buildings and commercial settings, we take the best of rainscreen practices and incorporate and seal all flashings, windows openings, and penetrations into the Water-Resistant Barrier that best suits or specified for the construction.
We have worked on a multitude of residential homes incorporating various insulation approaches to improve energy performance. Tastefully adding features and accents can give your home or business beautiful curb appeal and increase its value.
Deck Works & Railings
Often incorporated with siding and restoration work, is the replacement of existing decks. Although there is the usual stand by of treated lumber to use for decking and railings, there are many other attractive options. Aluminum and glass railings systems coupled with composite decking and fascia can be a really attractive upgrade. Even adding decorative post caps and accessories will beautify your outdoor space.
