"It's a great day to be house and cottage raising"
Michael Comeau
My house & cottage raising experience began in Muskoka in 1987 with many projects for pillars, perimeter foundations and basements and even boathouse levelling and related structural repairs. With considerable experience cottage raising with related foundation and structural work, this has built literally a knowledge and experience base for many more opportunities and projects in various cottage country areas.

Integrated Build & Framing - extra floor level
■ Raising a building for an extra floor to be added, is a great way to double living space and in the case of having a full basement, even triple space for living and extra storage. This enables plenty of added value and savings without having to acquire another property and can build for the long term. A basement project can be completed and winterized with zone control, regardless of the status of winterization in the upper level, original cottage, house or building.
In the future another floor can be added, in addition to the time to upgrade the original building, such as insulation, vapour barrier, drywall, interior woodwork, electric, plumbing, mechanical and so on by other relevant trades. This is useful for growing families and space requirements for people and friends, in addition to more urgent getaway plans that may be useful in practical "escapism". This can preserve the original history and storey of the building and update that to current and future plans over time.
Preserve History and Tradition:
■ Integrated stone fireplace & chimney lift, moving, foundation and stone repair.
■ Levelling the building & pillar replacement.
■ Beams, Structural Work & Floor Replacement.
Imagine a whole lot more height, space and stability, with the benefit of added value.

About Us
Working Zone Territory
Through quality work and dedication I have expanded business primarily in the Renfrew County area and beyond for opportunities operating in Renfrew County,, where the Ottawa River fluctuations are often times 10 feet, that require greater structural integrity and higher pillars, some on concrete slabs and re-bar, which will solve most of the world's problems.
Cottage raising and foundation work projects are also done and available in Calabogie, Madawaska, Lake Kaminiskeg, Aylen Lake, Barry's Bay, and surrounding area lakes.
Georgian Bay cottage raising and foundation work has considerable challenges in marine logistics to islands which adds to both adventure and work to build something for the long term, that provides opportunity and adventure.
Fortunately being bilingual has some other opportunities and Quebec Gatineau & Pontiac cottage raising projects and helpful for those who are more competent in English speaking in a largely french trade environment.
Also, work related to framing and carpentry for new builds and additions where needed as a separate and integrated company for construction can be included in proposals for clients is available, since the knowledge and experience base goes beyond raising and foundation work. Feel free to contact us about your vision, plan and needs.
Resources, machinery, personnel and time to be scheduled for project management requires some planning and lead times can optimize productivity and timely work completion. There are various challenges in building projects that require good logistical vision and capability in addition to the machinery, equipment and manpower.
If you would like to work with someone who enjoys working and takes pride in building great things together with their clients, feel free ton contact us. Let's talk about your ideas and we can make proposals with relevant options for your consideration and imagination of the vision that works for you.
