Have a roof leak that has recently started. Need roof inspection & roof/shingle/flashing repair to back and top of roof (House faces west). Roof area that needs repair/replacement approximately 500 - 750 square feet.
Age of roof is 10 years and have black 25 yr asphalt shingles on it.
We are converting our attic space into a guest room and would like to circulate our central air to the new space. There is currently a small heating duct (approx 2x8") to the space. Hoping it would be possible to route the cold air up. We currently have fairly good air conditioning up to the second floor. The home is 1940s vintage. Can you provide a quote to rough in the ductwork?

Our attic needs some fixing. There are 2 problems:
1) Last winter, our 2nd floor bathroom had cold spots on the wall around the ceiling. Condensation was present. An inspector told us some of the insulation in the attic had blown away just above the cold spots.
2) Water stains are also starting to become visible on the bathroom ceiling. The inspector said snow was coming in through a vent and melting.
We need someone to fix these 2 problems.
I have a long, narrow back yard (110 x 17ft) with a small patio and flower beds along each side. My dog has killed the grass at the back end and the remaining grass is not great. I'd like to do a major overhaul on the back which may or may not include the installation of river rock in the back 1/3, plus new sod and reshaped flower beds. Possibly will include the installation of paths from front to back that the dog can run on. I will purchase and plant the perrennials and prune the existing trees.
A limitation on this job is access to the back yard. It is a townhouse with right of access through the neighbor, however heavy equipment and too much tracking of heavy loads could damage his property, which I'd like to avoid. Ideally, heavy supplies such as stone, sod and soil deliveries could occur over the back wall, as I back onto a major road so access is easy. Please contact to arrange a time to view and quote.
Ple
Basement about 450 sf.
One year old house. two existing windows.
Framing: 80% framing is already done by builder. Requires three walls about 8 ft high and 9 ft, 9 ft and 12 ft long. Some framing in the roof also required.
Plumbing: Washroom with tub, commode and vanity, tiles etc.
Duct work: some minor duct work required.
Drywall: on roof and walls required.
ELectrical: 8 pot lights, fireplace, washroom, andsome minor electric work.
Trim: hang three doors and finish work required. install new handrail.
Floor: Eng. laminate flooring.

I have an insulated basement in a 4 year old home that I'd like to finish. There is a bathroom roughed-in and it should be framed but not finished. The main room is 20 by 25 feet and we'd like a 10 by 12 foot room put into the space. The main portion would have a fireplace. The work required is generally framing, electrical, drywall, and flooring. I will do the painting.
This job requires the support of a structural engineer and contractor. Quotes for each phase or both phases separately are welcome.
Phase I: Install proper footings for basement support posts. There are no structural issues with the foundation, but proper footings under the interior supports were never installed leading to a sag of the house over time as the basement slab settled. The slab seems to have stabilized, but we would still like proper footings to be installed beneath these supports unless it is 1) not advised or 2) cost prohibitive. Phase I plan may need to be adjusted depending on the plan developed for Phase II.
Phase II: Developing and implementing a plan for an open concept main floor. The main floor will undergo a complete demolition/renovation so beams and supports can eventually be fully exposed and replaced. We require a structural engineer and contractor to quote us on a plan to remove load bearing walls (we are fine with a post or two if absolutely necessary and/or the other options are cost prohibitive). Quote would be for drafting a plan, demolition, and reinstallation of the necessary posts and beams. Refinishing including re-installation and re-routing of electrical, duct work, drywall, etc. will be done separately.
The home is an owner occupied 1959 duplex in Vanier. Geological samples taken from below the duplex are available.
Hello,
I have a small 6-700sq foot basement that I am looking to finish. I have the permits and a plan laid out by a professional architect. I would like someone to come in and do plumbing, (rough in 1 bathroom), electrical, framing, insulation, floor leveling, drywall and ceiling. I can paint and put on moulding, and cabinetry and bathroom fixtures etc. I basically want it finished to the walls. Floor coverings and finishes I can do. This is something I will want done ASAP so if the budget is right we can work together.
Thank you,
Trevor

Looking to extend an existing building with two retail locations and a residential apartment above. There is a flat top garaged attached to the second retail location at the rear of the building. Exploring one of two options:
1. One floor extension of just the garage area, expanding current 330 sq. ft area into 700 sq.ft for additional retail space OR
2. Two floor extension, redeveloping the back area by turning the existing retail location into a larger retail space (ideally 1000 sq. ft with option of converting into 2 spaces of 500 sq. ft each), and a small two bedroom apartment above (750 sqft).
We're able to handle to internal finishing work (i.e. dry wall, flooring, painting etc..) Looking for a rough cost estimate for building the shell of the extension (foundation, roofing, windows, electrical, plumbing etc...)
Thanks!
There are three parts to my request.
1. extension
2. waterproofing
3. landscaping and driveway
I own a 1950s single bungalow, the perimeter of the house is 30x40. I would like to increase the sq footage of my bungalow. Either by an extensions or by adding a second floor, along with the addition I would like to rearrange the layout. The bungalow is 30x40 and the lot is 65x125. So there is room for additions. The kitchen would need to be redesigned, the bathroom made bigger and the addition of two more rooms, presently there are 2 room and the bathroom is very tiny.
I would like to get advice on whether I need an architect involved. And of course I would like to get on idea of how much a project this magnitude would cost me.
The basement is block foundation and is 90% finished. I don't have water leakage or a cracked foundation, however I am concerned about the musty smell, what seems like water stains and water residue on the visible walls. Also, there are no window sills. II want either to have the basement or serious grading around the house.
Along with the basement issue, I need a driveway done from scratched. the measurement for the driveway are roughly 70x30.
We are purchasing an"L" shaped car wash and service garage. W e sould like to convert 2 car wash bays into an office. In order to do so we need to close off two openings preferably with one glass door 36inches by 84 inches and have approx. 36 inches of steel from the ground up followed by a glass frontage. we also need to install a new bathroom and flooring for the reception area. If you have walked into any Mr. Lube, Good year or Speedy muffler this is the look we are serching for. If you are interested and have done this type of work I would be glad to discuss the project we are in a bit of a time crunch so if you are available please contact me, Thank you.
In the basement of my new house:
- I have a window (3.6' x 2.7') that I would like changed into wall (red rectangle of attached image)
- I would also like to remove the side table (blue rectangle of attached image) that I think is glued there at the bottom
The end goal of the above two actions is to allow me to put up a big mirror along the wall.
I get possession of the new house on November 21st, and move in on December 13th. Ideally, this work would be done before moving in, but if it cannot be done until after move-in, that can be acceptable too.
Hello,
We proposed tentative scope of work is as follows:
1) make a professionally finished basement with two rooms, sitting area and upgrade existing washroom
2) redo complete kitchen
3) replace existing hardwood floors on main floor if required or upgrade the same
4) replace existing tiles in foyer and kitchen
5) design architectural features and replace and/or upgrade the walls, install glass accent, designer celings, doors, upstairs washrooms
6) paint entire house
7) design, get approvals and build a solarium
8) Upgrade garage
9) upgrade driveway in summer
10) landscaping in summer
11) Upgrade electrical features, LED and security cameras
This is a rough scope. Key is to have modern finish and colors in the house properly designed by interior designer/architect before start.
