Services
Work for a house that sits empty in winter
Six kinds of work, each designed and priced before it is built, and each planned around the off-season.

A cottage rebuilt on its own frame or gutted and re-planned, designed in summer and built in one off-season.

A wing for the family weekends, or a second floor for the view of the water.
See the workKitchens and baths
A kitchen that feeds the whole house on a holiday weekend, and baths worth the drive up.

What stays the same
Drawings before a price
The estimate comes from finished drawings, not a conversation.
A calendar
A month-by-month plan for the build window, with what depends on what.
Weekly photos
A short update every week while you're away.
Build windows
Ask while you're at the lake
Design takes the summer, and windows and cabinetry take months to arrive. The first conversation is the earliest part of the schedule.
