Project Description:
my house is a cape cod about 25 yrs old. 2 storey, finished on 3 levels. master bedroom closet is tiny on the top floor beside the garage. the floor above the garage is closed off and not finished.
i would like to open this area and make a large closet. also i would like to use some of the space for storage for the garage which my husband uses for simple carpentry projects. it is a single car garage and now is overflowing with tools and household objects.
The space is about 20 by 15 feet. this is a rough guess. the flooring of the closet likely should be hardwood- prefinished oak, like the bedroom; but the other storage area could be simple plywood likely.
i would like a professionally finished closet of good quality materials. the walls would be exterior walls and need good insulation. it is likely difficult to give an estimate without seeing the site or discussing further. |

Project Description:
Hello,
I am looking for some information in regards to the electrical in the house I am buying. The power panels (2) both run on fuses. when we had the house inspected, it was found that in several places the ground was either open or missing. I was wondering what would be a cost associated with checking the wiring to ascertain what the problem is exactly and quite possibly upgrade to breaker boxes. I know that power mast outside would require repair as there is a break where water could get in. What could the cost of fixing that would be.
Thanks |

Major Renovation of Duplex House |
| Job Number: |
HCA22969 |
| Type: |
Residential |
| Category: |
Interiors |
| Subcategory: |
General Contractor |
| Location: |
Halifax, Nova Scotia |
| Main concern: |
Quality |
| Budget: |
$50,000 - $100,000 |
| Project will be started in: |
3 - 4 months |
| Requires financing: |
No |

Project Description:
My wife and I have bought an old duplex ca. 1920 in Halifax on Creighton and intend to move in and begin renovation this summer.
The job could extend to a complete renovation including an addition of a two floor sunroom and solar heating all done while maintaining the intent to maximize energy efficiency.
There are presently two suites in the house, a small one on the first floor and a two-floor suite upstairs - total living area of about 1500 sq.ft. The place was renovated into two suites about ten years ago and the plumbing (all copper) and electrical are in excellent condition as near as I can tell. The only access to the building may be though the house since there is no side entry.
The project will be divided into phases following engineering and architectural design.
The first phase will be lowering the basement floor but any work in the basement will have to fit in with the overall plans for later work upstairs. This phase will include insulating and providing proper support structure according to code for subsequent work upstairs. There is some water ingress during wet periods. I am considering in floor heating and want to gain some head room as well depending on how far the floor can be lowered. There are no plans to make the basement into living space.
I intend to link up with a contractor who will guide me through the permit process and work with me on the scheduling and labour sharing where practical. This will have to be considered when it is time for cost estimation.
This will not be a rush job - rather it will proceed steadily with interruptions if I am away. Similarly, I will be willing to work within the contractor's schedule.
The contractor will be an experienced green builder and be able to install or arrange for installation of solar heating systems, in-floor heating and air exchangers.
I will not be in the Maritimes until May and not in Halifax full time until July. I plan to get the design and permit work started in May. I don't expect to have designs done and permits complete until October at the earliest. Additionally, we will be living in the building part of the time from July, however we are experienced with live-in renovations.
Interested contractors should respond to the email address above. Commitments on either side won't be made until we meet in May or June. I'd appreciate references and opportunities to view some work of a similar scope carried out by the contractor previously.
While I won't be in the area for several weeks, I could pass on the address of the house to anyone seriously interested and possibly arrange a visit.
As an aside, comments on the wisdom of setting up a project like this are welcome. I've done a lot of home renovation but not on the scale I envisage here.

Project Description:
Would like to add a family room and a master bedroom off the side of our house. The master bedroom will have a ensuite and the family room will have laundry facilities. We are planning on having a full basement under the addition, approximately 450 sq feet. The age of our house is around 50 years old, and as far as I know there were french drains installed by the previous owners around the whole property. The land where the addtion is to take place is fairly flat, although there is a rise up behind it. |

My husband and I are looking to renovate our home to give our children their own bedrooms an space. We are wanting to put an addition on to the front of our house and possibly move the stairs from the middle of our living room into the new addition. We are looking for someone to come to our house and provide us with free estimates of how much this will cost. We are also looking to install some new windows and siding to complete the look. Anyone who is interested in taking on this challenge can contact us at the above information.
Thanks,
Candace and Jody, Terence Bay, NS |

" Very Good site, my membership has
gotten me many jobs! Thanks a bunch you guys, I no longer
need to advertise in the paper !! "
- Trent G, Abuilt Custom Builders
" Your site has by far the best layout,
and is the best source of leads that we have. Since we listed
with Handy Canadian (December 2005), we've signed contracts
on over $400,000 worth of work - that's a pretty good return
on our advertising dollars, and is unsurpassed by any other
advertising that we've done so far. In fact, as we've built
such a network of referrals from the business we've received
via your site, we no longer advertise anywhere else! "
- Bryan, Baeumler Quality Construction and Renovations
Inc.
" I believe that the internet is the
way of the future and I believe that handy Canadian is ahead
of their time. Businesses are fighting to win customers to
win a 10-100 sale. But here for less then 1 dollar a day can
you receive hot leads to build your business. I love this
service!!! "
- Leslie H., Toronto Home Renovation
" We’ve had the pleasure of meeting
