Buildings & Additions in Orangeville
We have poured the slab, framed the walls, and finished the inside on buildings that did not exist before.
Orangeville homes
What buildings & additions usually means in Orangeville
Orangeville mixes Victorian and Edwardian homes near Broadway with subdivisions from the eighties onward. Older homes here often have had several rounds of partial renovation, so a lot of our work is undoing something well-meant and doing it properly.
We are in the headwaters constantly, so Orangeville is a normal working day for us rather than a long-distance job with travel priced into it.
There is a real difference between a renovation company that finishes rooms and a crew that can put up a building. We do both, and the building work is where the difference shows.
What is included
Everything this job actually involves
Foundations and slabs
Footings, sonotubes, and poured slabs, including in-floor radiant heat laid before the pour.
Framing and roof structure
Walls, floor systems, cathedral and truss roofs, dormers, and the sheathing and weather barrier that follow.
Exterior finishing
Board and batten, siding, metal roofing, soffit, fascia, windows, and doors.
Additions onto existing homes
Tying new structure into an existing house, including the roofline, the foundation, and matching the exterior.
Cabins, bunkies, and garages
Detached buildings for cottage properties and shops, permitted and built to code.
Interior finishing
Insulation, drywall, flooring including epoxy, trim, and the full interior so you get a finished building, not a shell.
Our work
The Cape Chin cabin, built from nothing
This two storey building on the Bruce Peninsula was ours from the first shovel. Radiant loops went down in the fall and the slab was poured before the ground froze.
Framing carried on through the snow. The cathedral rafters went up over the winter, the board and batten and metal roof closed it in, and the decks and screened porch came in the spring.
It is the clearest answer we have to the question of whether we can handle a full build. We did not manage this one. We built it.

Orangeville questions
Straight answers, before you ask
Do you need a permit for buildings & additions in Orangeville?
Permits are issued by the Town of Orangeville, and whether you need one depends on the scope. Structural changes, new plumbing, and new circuits almost always require one. We confirm the requirement for your address and handle the application and inspections as part of the job.
How far into Orangeville do you travel?
All of it, including Downtown Orangeville, Montgomery Village, Westside, Rolling Hills. Orangeville is inside our normal working area, so you are not paying for a special trip.
Do you build the whole thing or subcontract it out?
Our crew does the foundation prep, framing, exterior, and interior finishing. Licensed trades handle electrical, plumbing, and HVAC, and we coordinate and stay on site while they work.
Do I need a permit for an addition or a detached building?
Almost always. Additions, garages, and cabins over a small size all require permits, and rural and shoreline properties can also involve conservation authority approval. We work through that with you.
Can you build in cottage country and on rural properties?
Yes. We have built on the Bruce Peninsula and regularly work in the Collingwood, Mono, and Muskoka areas.
Can you build in the winter?
Yes. We framed the Cape Chin cabin through a Bruce Peninsula winter. Concrete work is more weather-dependent and we schedule it accordingly.
