Proper roof-deck preparation and re-nailing is part of our published standard on every job.

Continuous heavy-gauge aluminum gutters fabricated on-site for optimal water diversion.

Ice shield

Full-perimeter ice-and-water protection designed specifically for harsh Maritime freeze-thaw cycles.

Multi-unit & churches

Apartment complexes, condominiums, and steep church steeples are regular fixtures in our portfolio.

Project planning

Nova Scotia
home grants.

We assist property owners with documentation for applicable Nova Scotia provincial home repair and energy-efficiency grants.
